This story is filled with romance, and second chances

This week’s Hook …

An abrupt jolt threw him off balance, disrupting his train of thought and momentarily disorienting him. He instinctively reached out, pressing his hands against the walls to steady himself. The sudden darkness followed by flickering dim lights left him briefly dazed. He took a few deep breaths to regain his composure and calm his racing heart.

In the dim light, he noticed the woman crouching on the floor, arms wrapped around her legs.

“Are you okay?”

As the words left his lips, he cursed himself for asking such a stupid question. Clearly, she wasn’t. Judging by her trembling hands and uneven breathing, she was far from okay.

Gently, he placed his hand over hers and as calmly as possible, he introduced himself. “Hey, there. I’m Jonah.”

Blurb

In an unexpected encounter, the lives of Jonah, a rescue diver from New Zealand, and Maddie, a spirited local, collide, forever altering their future.

Trapped together in a hotel lift, sparks fly between them, but Jonah’s past looms, casting a shadow over their fragile connection. Maddie, captivated by Jonah’s charisma, is determined to find him when he mysteriously misses their planned dinner. With a friend’s assistance, her search unveils a chilling discovery – Jonah unconscious on a cliff.

Navigating a sea of emotions, in order to find a future together, will Maddie and Jonah manage the challenges posed by their past secrets and present obstacles?

Hi everyone ♥

Let me tease you today with another snippet from the second book for the series TELL IT TO MY HEART, Noah’s story.

All the books in the series are available on KU. Book #1 is only 99c ♥ ENJOY ♥

Today’s Snippet

Noah’s shoulders sagged as soon as he heard the slamming of the door. It hadn’t been his best behaviour, but he was tired from the long travel and hungry. He walked over to the lounge room, grabbed the sandwich he’d bought on the way into town, and sat on the old sofa. After he kicked off his shoes, he leaned back into the comfortable cushions and put his legs onto the coffee table. As he chewed away on the tasteless bread with some old ham and lettuce in it, he thought about Molly. He closed his eyes and tried to visualise her. She wasn’t what he’d expected to find in the house, but it’d been a nice surprise. He thought her to be in her mid- to late twenties, a bit younger than him. Partially hidden by her towel, her body had still been damp from the recent shower and clearly outlined against the thin fabric. With amusement, he remembered her cheeks had been flushed and her hair wet and wild. And her eyes. Her blue eyes had a look of sadness in them. Then there was the scar on her face. That was a mystery. But her lips. He’d have given anything to touch those lips with his.

And with that last thought, he dropped off into a deep sleep.

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?

This week’s Hook …

Jonah Lewis rushed down the corridor, reaching the lift just in the nick of time before its doors closed behind him. He swiftly pressed the button for the ground floor and stood in a corner. A young woman across from him glanced briefly in his direction before averting her gaze to the closed doors.

“Sorry about that,” he offered as an attempt to break the ice, but he received only a nearly imperceptible nod in response.

His gaze shifted to the floor, studying the peculiar pattern of the carpet, attempting to ignore the awkward silence. He flinched when her sudden sneeze echoed through the little cabin like a clap of thunder.

“Bless you.”

Again, she briefly met his eyes and mumbled a quiet “Thank you.”

Obviously, nothing had changed over the past fifteen years since he had left Alinta Bay. This place held countless memories of where he’d spent most of his childhood until his parents packed up and left to start anew in New Zealand.

Why had he come back?

Today’s Snippet

Noah placed the glass in the sink then leaned against the bench as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Why did he let you stay here?”

“Why wouldn’t he? I needed somewhere to go, and this is very convenient.”

“Still don’t understand why he lets you stay here.”

She pressed her lips together, trying hard not to let her frustration win the fight. Mrs. Fielding had told her many stories about her grandson, and she knew his upbringing hadn’t been the easiest, but she’d hoped for someone a bit more like the old lady — kind and charming. The man standing in front of her was the complete opposite.

The whole conversation she had practised over the last few days was gone suddenly. The words to explain how his grandmother had missed him and how proud she’d been of him. She opened her mouth but closed it again as she turned and walked off, back into her temporary room. It took her only a few minutes to pack up her belongings before she left the house, slamming the door behind her.

Hi everyone –

Today’s hook continues with “Their Bond through Jade”

The story is set in the wonderful country of New Zealand.
Today’s snippet moves back into Tiffany’s POV
Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

He laughed. “He bought the thing a few years back and turned it into one mighty great house. Shame he’s moving back to Queenstown.”

They got out of the car and walked towards the police station entrance. A sudden rush of anxiety swept through her, leaving her hands cold and her heart pounding in her throat.

Taking her hand, Steve said, “You’ll be right. I’m sure there’s a simple explanation to it.”

She let out a puff of air. “With the police ending up at my doorstep wanting information about Hudson, I doubt the explanation is simple.”

Review

“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)

Blurb

Pikorua, the Maori name for the symbol, is a twist that is said to symbolise the strength of the bond between two people. Mat is certain there is something between Tiffany and him.

When Tiffany Cahill opens the door to the police, memories flood her mind of the previous year and a relationship gone bad. Frightened, she calls her friend, Steve, for help, but instead a stranger answers the phone. Little does Tiffany know how much this New Zealander is going to impact her life, especially after she is assaulted only a few hours later.

Mat Apanui, the owner of a helicopter tour company in New Zealand, can’t ignore the worry in Tiffany’s voice when he answers Steve’s phone. Before he knows it, he is spending most of his business trip to Melbourne with her. Desperate to keep her safe after an attack, he invites her to stay with him in Queenstown, NZ.

With her safety at risk, how will Tiffany overcome her reservations and trust the sexy stranger enough to fly across the Tasman Sea?

Without looking at her, he repeated his earlier question. “Want to tell me who you are?”

The word no lay on the tip of her tongue, but she admitted he had a right to know. “My name is Molly Reid. I live next door.”

He turned to look at her as if he expected more.

“My house was flooded during the last dump of rain. Forgot to clean the gutters. Your grandmother’s lawyer agreed for me to stay here until the end of the week.”

“Why?”

She clenched her jaw to kill the frustration inside. “Because my house was flooded.”
