Today’s Hook:

Her gaze went out the window to the sea, and she heard Lisa’s reprimand only in the distance. Enjoying the scenery of the waves coming and going, she let her mind wander. She loved it here in Alinta Bay. She’d fallen in love with the small coastal town last year, but had obviously not been ready for the life in a small community. For the care and kindness amongst the people. Arriving here, she thought she’d been a free spirit. Live and let live. Come and go, and the pieces would eventually fall into place.
How wrong she’d been. There was no doubt she’d been careless and selfish.
Closing her eyes, she thought of her grandmother, who’d passed away only a few months earlier. At the same time, she’d received the news that’d changed her life. Gently tugging at the sleeves of her jumper, she tried hard to keep her composure. This wasn’t the right place or the right time to explain her reasons to return to Alinta Bay. Although it was as simple as she wanted to try to start again and wasn’t able to think of a better place than this one.
“I’m sorry for your loss.”

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.

Today’s Hook:

Melody Foster could feel Harrison’s stare on her as he leaned against the kitchen bench and some discomfort trickled down her spine, leaving her self-conscious.
Lisa stepped closer to the table. “You remember Harrison, don’t you, Melody?”
Not able to take her eyes off him, she simply nodded. He hadn’t changed and still looked as sexy as a when she’d lived here with his tangle of brown hair like a surfer, piercing green eyes, and a few freckles on his face, which made him look ridiculously and boyishly handsome at the same time. But the expression on his face was serious. Not even a twitch of his lips.
Lisa’s words startled her. “I’m not sure, though, what happened to his manners today. I apologise.” She glared at her son.
Melody met Harrison’s green eyes. “Nice to see you again.”
“I’m not sure I can say the same.”

Today’s Hook:

“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?”
He was tempted to give her a piece of his mind, but knew all his reasoning with his mum whether she was right or wrong would get him nowhere. He followed her to the kitchen which was furnished like something out of the 1950s with the old cabinets in orange colours, the dated gas stove, and the well-scarred cutting island.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he almost froze when he saw Melody sitting at the table with a cup in her hand. The smell that lingered in the air told him coffee. She looked up and smiled, and he was briefly taken aback by how different she looked.
Or had he never noticed her beautiful chocolate brown eyes? And what about those full lips? The dark blonde hair was shorter and nicely cut into one of the latest fashionable hairstyles that every second actress was sporting nowadays. He stared at her and noticed her disappearing smile.

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?”

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.

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.”
