Happy Wednesday everyone.
BETWEEN GOODBYE AND HELLO is the 3rd and last book in

The ebook available on AMAZON for 99c .
If you’re a KU subscriber, please take a moment to check out the first two books in the series: “DEFYING RULES” and “TELL IT TO MY HEART”

Today’s Hook:

Her face lit up and she treated him to a massive smile. He wasn’t sure, though, whether it was surprise or happiness. Or cheekiness? He wasn’t able to tell and although very close to his mother, reading her was like interpreting the novels he’d read back at school — near impossible.
“I saw her leaving the bus. That’s why I’m here.”
“Oh.” A grin spread across her face. “I always knew you liked her.”
Harrison rubbed his hands over his face. Why was everyone convinced that he liked her? He didn’t and never had. “I. Do. Not. Like. Her.”
Waving her hand, she continued walking to the kitchen, letting out a soft laugh. “Of course you do.”
“Why is everyone saying that?”
“So you finally stop being in denial. You’re attracted to her like the moths are to the light. And we all understand. After all, she’s a kind person.” She shrugged. “A kind person who had some trouble in the past. No one’s perfect. Right?”

BLURB:

Can two seemingly incompatible people who judge each other on past events be able to find some common ground?

Harrison Hendrix believes in second chances, but when it comes to Melody, he has every reason to doubt it’s possible. He’s conflicted when he sees her back in town and tries his best to see the change in her that other friends mention. Even more so when spending a night with her after being set up for a dinner date.

Life hasn’t been kind to Melody Foster, and she returns to Alinta Bay for a new beginning. Hit by tragedy again, she’s determined to live life to the fullest and with no regrets. She creates a bucket list … on which #8 the very difficult, yet extremely sexy Harrison has been included. Why does it seem he’s always around when she’s in trouble?

Maybe it’s time to take a risk and leave the past where it belongs, but will trusting their instinct be the right choice for them?

“This blood-pumping novel will keep the reader hooked until the very end.” InD’tale Magazine

“Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this wonderful book and fall in love.” (5 star review)

Mat is a sexy, tattooed New Zealander with a strong sense of family and duty and Tiffany is a woman with a past that continues to haunt her. Can Mat help her overcome her demons and move on with the next phase of her life? Come for the romance and stay for the breathtaking scenery. (5 star review)

4 stars – NEW BEGINNINGS is a very emotional read, one that is heartwarming as well as heart wrenching. It gives you hope in the act of human kindness and that good things do happen to good people. I highly recommend this book.

#MFRWHooks “How did you know?” #MFRWOrg #OneClick #mustread #Ilovebooks

Today’s Hook:

Unnecessary worry rushed through him. Why? He had no clue, because bottom line was that Melody was a thief and not a murderer. But still, there was something unnerving about the fact that she’d returned and had gone straight to his mother. He moved back a step, about to reach for his mobile in his pocket when she finally opened the door.
“Hello, darling. What a surprise. Come in.”
Harrison closed the door behind him and followed her to the kitchen. His mother was in her mid-fifties, and as much as she was starting to show the odd grey hair and the face wrinkled in all the right places, her eyes still radiated youth and passion for life.
“You wouldn’t believe who’s here.” Her cheery voice nearly made him sick. He never understood how she was able to be so forgiving. Must’ve been a mother’s instinct, who knew?
Despite all the anger and frustration inside him, he made an effort to maintain the nonchalance in his voice. “Melody.”
She stopped to look at him. “How did you know?”

Today’s Hook:

“I believe they’ve gone to your parents’ place.”
Rolling his eyes, Harrison lifted his hand to say thanks and left. This time his destination was his childhood home. He cursed remembering that Logan had given him a lift earlier this morning, and now he was without a car. He would get his exercise after all.
It took him a bit less than twenty minutes to walk up the hill and towards the end of the street to get to the family home he’d grown up in. His family had lived in the small house, which was situated at the very far end of the cul-de-sac since he could remember — and possibly even longer. His grandparents and their parents had already lived in the old house. It’d been one of the first houses built in Alinta Bay according to the library history books. His father, Graham, tried his best with the upkeep, but Harrison’s cousin, Logan the builder in the family, often told him it required some looking after. The window frames were in need of a new coat of paint and so was the front door, however, what the house lacked in maintenance, the yard made up for it. Lisa loved her flowers, especially the colourful rose bushes all along the front yard and daylilies along the path and fence. They were his mother’s pride and joy and looked sensational when in full bloom. Harrison looked up and saw the carport empty and assumed that his dad enjoyed the Sunday out with his friends on the fishing boat.
He knocked at the door and waited.
Silence, so he knocked again.
Unnecessary worry rushed through him.

#MFRWHooks “She’s back in town.” #MFRWOrg #OneClick #mustread #Ilovebooks

Today’s Hook:

“Dad said something along those lines as well.”
A grin spread across Noah’s face. “Must be true then. If you didn’t, you’d move hell on earth to get rid of her, instead you’re about to run after her.”
Harrison flipped them the finger and crossed the road without another word, walking towards his mother’s bakery. The streets weren’t busy, which wasn’t uncommon during winter in Alinta Bay with only the occasional tourist driving through.
Harrison had lived in the small coastal town in Australia all his life and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. He would often listen to Noah’s stories about living in California and Alaska, and an interest to travel stirred in him, but bottom line was, he was a small-town boy through and through, loving the local community with its advantages as well as its flaws.
With more force than intended, he pushed the door open to the bakery where John, one of his mother’s staff, greeted him from behind the counter. “How are you, Harrison?”
“All good. How are you? Is Mum around?”
“Lisa left less than five minutes ago. With Melody. She’s back in town.”
He clenched his jaw tight, John’s words sinking in like a knife. “I know.”

#MFRWHooks “I am about to step into a minefield” #MFRWOrg #OneClick #mustread #Ilovebooks

Today’s Hook:

Noah tilted his head. “I feel as if I have or I am about to step into a minefield, but explain to me, she took a few dollars and then paid it back. Was she charged?”
Harrison shook his head. “Mum didn’t want to. She argued that Melody most likely had needed it and had worked hard for it.”
His brother cocked a brow.
“My thoughts exactly. Anyway, I’ll give the rest of the run a raincheck. I’d rather head over to Mum’s and check on the situation. If Mum let’s her stay in the little room in the attic again, I’ll make sure she pays some money this time.”
Logan choked back a chuckle.
“What?”
“You like her.”
“Bullshit.”
Logan’s chuckle turned into a laugh.
“You’re as crazy as Dad,” Harrison muttered with a shake of his head.
His cousin frowned. “How come?”
“Dad said something along those lines as well.”

#MFRWHooks “Mum found a few hundred dollars missing.” #MFRWOrg #OneClick #amreading

Today’s Hook:

Logan chuckled. “I find the comparison to a rainbow rather nice. It’s a bit like someone who speaks in endearment.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake. Endearment my arse.”
Noah wiped some sweat from his forehead. “So, what happened?”
“She worked for Mum for free lodging. Then one day, Mum found a few hundred dollars missing from the till over a couple of weeks. And shortly after, Melody was nowhere to be seen.”
“Didn’t you say she transferred the money back?” Logan wanted to know.
Frustrated, Harrison looked at his cousin. “Yes, she did.” His reply was spoken barely above a whisper. He remembered when she’d called him earlier in the year. So surprised to hear her voice, he’d nearly dropped the phone. No wonder her parents gave her the name Melody. She did have a voice like an angel. And that frustrated him even more. The very fact that he thought of her as an angel.

#MFRWHooks “Are you insane?” #MFRWOrg #OneClick #BetweenGoodbyeandHello

Today’s Hook:

Noah gazed to the bus stop. “I don’t get it. So, who’s this across the road? This woman doesn’t look anything like who you just described.”
“That’s her,” Harrison explained, not sure whether his half-brother was actually listening. “I just told you.”
“Mate, I still don’t understand. You described a hippie from the sixties.”
Rubbing his neck, Harrison’s words weren’t more than just a whisper. “I know. That’s what worries me.”
“That was six months ago when she rang and asked for the bank details,” Logan commented.
“I know.” Harrison followed Logan’s gaze as he looked to the bus stop again. Melody was walking towards his mother’s bakery. He shoved his hand through his hair and clenched his jaw to keep from cursing.
“I take it your mum didn’t tell you that Melody was coming back.”
Without looking at his cousin, Harrison replied, “I wonder whether she knows either.”
“I always had the impression you liked her?”
Harrison shot him a glare. “Are you insane? No way. I mean, geez, did you see how she used to dress, like a rainbow in the sky. Not to mention the money thing.”
Logan chuckled. “I find the comparison to a rainbow rather nice. It’s a bit like someone who speaks in endearment.”

#MFRWHooks “…like a rainbow in the sky.” #NewRelease #MFRWOrg #OneClick #mustread

Today’s Hook:

Harrison Hendrix stared towards the bus, the fresh late winter breeze off the ocean cooling the sweat on his back from the jog with his cousin, Logan, and his half-brother, Noah, the fine beach sand sticking to his legs. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, unable to comprehend. Finally, he blinked a couple of times as his brain caught up to what he was seeing: Melody was back in town. What the hell was she doing in Alinta Bay, and why on earth had she returned after all this time?
“What’s up, mate?”
Still in disbelieve, he turned to Logan. “I think I’ve just seen a ghost. At least I hope so.”
Noah placed a hand on Harrison’s shoulder. “Say what?”
With his hands on his hips, Harrison nodded towards the bus stop.
Logan shaded his eyes with his hand. “Is that Melody? Did you know she was back?”
“Last I heard from her was in January when she called and asked for Mum’s bank details to transfer some money that she owed.”
Noah scratched his chin. “Who’s Melody?”
Harrison looked around, realising that his half-brother had no idea who he was talking about. “Melody used to work for Mum in the bakery. She’s about the weirdest person ever. Dresses oddly, listens to the sixties music, and the hair, good Lord, the hair—”

#MFRWHooks “Not much time.” #amreading #NewRelease #MFRWOrg #OneClick

Happy Wednesday everyone.
I’d like to introduce you to book 2 in the Alinta Bay series
TELL IT TO MY HEART
which is now available on AMAZON for 99c .
I hope you’ll enjoy today’s “hook”, which is in Noah’s POV.

Today’s Hook:

“Isn’t she in France?”
“Not anymore, it seems.”
“Shit.”
Graham choked back a snort. “Not the word I’d use, but I agree.”
Noah ignored the subtle chide. “Is that something you’ll work on?”
“Yes.”
Noah hesitated, not sure what else to say. “Okay. I’ll see you soon.” He hung up and snatched a piece of paper from his desk to jot down all the things he had to do in the next twenty-four hours.
Not much time.

BLURB:

Confronted with the choice to care for his friend’s family on the other side of the world or to return to Alinta Bay to be with his own newfound family, how will Noah choose?

Following the death of his grandmother, Noah Fielding returns to Alinta Bay and the first thing — or person — he finds is the next-door neighbour in his nan’s bathroom — naked no less. Still jetlagged, he doesn’t hit it off with Molly at first. Yet, over the next few weeks, as his past uncovers itself bit by bit, she becomes is anchor, his friend, and his lover.

Molly Reid had the world at her feet, happily married with a young son … until a tragic car accident took everything away from her. With her heart broken, she moves to Alinta Bay to escape the memories of the past. Her peaceful existence, however, is interrupted after a heavy storm floods her house and she temporarily moves into her recently deceased neighbour’s house next door.

When Noah’s friend and partner goes missing during a routine flight, Noah returns to Alaska to help, but will he come back for Molly?
