Romance With a Sensual Touch
Eryn Rae Sterling 
Eryn has long hair, chestnut brown in color, with shimmers of red in the light. It's wavy and lies recklessly against her back. Her eyes are turquoise blue and kind of deep set, with long black eyelashes. When she is angry, more green comes into her eyes than blue. She's slim, and about five-foot, seven inches in height. Her lips are full and peach colored, and she has the same pug nose she had when she was young. She lived in the Victorian Era for the first seventeen years of her life.
Eryn is independent and self-assured, but also practical and cautious. She is friendly, finding most people like her upon the first meeting. She has a habit of biting against the flesh of her bottom lip when she is in thought. Her career is in education; a fifth grade teacher, but she once had a dream of writing. Life got in the way of fulfilling that dream. If Eryn is your friend, you can be sure she will be your friend for life. She's sensual, sexual, and sexy without even trying. It won't take long to find out she becomes easily aroused by a single touch from Uriah.
Rainbows? Butterflies? She likes them both, and always watches for the Big Dipper in a clear night sky. Fog is her only real fear. She doesn't know why, in fact, she has no memory of the first seventeen years of her life. You'll know why, and you'll understand that fear before she will. Eryn is also the mother of twin daughters.

Uriah Prescot
All my heroes will more than likely have long hair, so Uriah is no exception. His hair is to the center of his back, blond and thick. He wears it loose on occasion, but usually tied back in a ponytail. His eyes are the sexiest of brown, with just a touch of amber to make them unique. His face is model-type square, with a slight scar running across his jaw. You'll see why and how in his story. His height towers over many at 6'3". He's slim, but slightly muscular with bulging biceps, ripped abdomen and strong pectorals. This comes natural to him, gained mostly from hard work. His legs are long and firm. His mustache is there, but you hardly notice it unless he's stroking it in thought.
Uriah is secretive, authoriative, confident, and a gentleman. Also, you'll see he is sensitive and caring when given the chance. He is wealthy, both in the present, and was in the past. In the present time, his income comes from being the owner of the Enchanted Inn. In the past, it was his farm, oil, lumber, and minerals that gave him his wealth. A side of him that no one sees is how he cares for other people, and he can't stand to see someone in pain, especially those he loves. Sometimes he prefers seclusion, and is a loner at times, but no one really knows why, but you will. He can build things, and he built the log cabin in the mountains. And he can cook, too! He can be a fast driver, even reckless at times. You'll watch him drink too much a few times, but it takes something to set him into the drinking mode . He doesn't just do it, to do it. Through the years he became a martial artist, but became lax in his training. Uriah Prescot can be a lot oversexed, and the mere thought of Eryn causes him to tremble.
Emmet McDanil
Emmet McDanil is an eighty-eight year old man, who owns an old book store in Enchantment. His hair is nearly all gray, except for a little black at the crown.

Chocolate is a favorite candy, and he usually has M&M's sitting in a dish. After school kids run in to talk to him each day, and he lets them choose their favorite color of gumball. He laughs and jokes with them, therefore he is usually a very friendly person. Enchantment has been his home all his life. Sometimes he has a way of knowing what the future holds.

She'll flirt, but only if there's no wedding ring. Beth was married to a rich man who left her financially independent when he passed away. He also left her with a 26 year old stepson, whom she treats as her own son. One of her faults, even though she has a lot of self-confidence, is she is not real independent, and feels like she would need a man to defend her. She looks for her Hero-Behind-the-Wheel! Chocolate is her favorite dessert. She is also the editor of her own small publishing company.
Dr. C.J. Lincoln
