TODAY’S SNIPPET:

Lexie Marshall looked around, seeing nothing but trees. Worry crept into her mind. It’d been a while since they’d seen another soul. The old farmer on the tractor had warned them, but she’d been certain she had known the way back to the car.

“Mum, are you sure you know where you’re going?” Zoe asked.

Loosely circling her shoulders to rid herself of the kink in them, Lexie replied, “Sweetie, I’m sure we’re almost there. It can’t be far.”

“Such a stupid idea to go for a bushwalk.”

Lexie stopped and turned, looking at her daughter, undecided whether to be annoyed or feel guilty. “I thought it was a great idea. We’re stuck in that small house seven days a week with the walls closing in on us.”

Zoe met her gaze, tears shimmering in her eyes. “Not my fault we moved here.”

Massaging the temples, she took a deep breath. “I hope we’re not going through the separation discussion again. Your dad and I drifted apart. Nothing I can do about it.”

The girl lifted her shoulder in a shrug. “That didn’t mean you have to drift all the way to this godforsaken place.”

“This godforsaken place is giving me a chance to work in my profession as a lawyer during school hours only so you’re not on your own at home.”

Zoe shrugged again. “I miss my friends.”

BLURB:

She loves the feel of his skin beneath her hands …

Lexie Marshall packs up and moves 3,000 km east with her daughter Zoe, to forget and move on. Now, all that matters is her daughter and her new job. She tries hard to stay focussed, but the sexy and extremely kind park ranger, Jesse, is not making it easy. And when her husband shows up in the small coastal town creating chaos, all she can do is hang on and trust her new friends.

After his last girlfriend walked out on him, Jesse Parker is doing just fine on his own. Until his accidental meeting with single mother Lexie, when he rescues her and her daughter from getting lost in the forest. But when her past catches up with her, he is right in the middle of it all and it might ruin his career.

Will returning to her old life be the only chance to save his career?

Hi everyone ♥

I’m continuing with Snippets from BETWEEN GOODBYE AND HELLO, the third book in the ALINTA BAY series, moving into Melody’s POV today.

If you’re a KU subscriber, please take a moment to check it out as well as the first two books in the series: “DEFYING RULES” and “TELL IT TO MY HEART”

♥ ENJOY ♥

TODAY’S SNIPPET:

Melody blew out a breath. Of course, she knew where he was coming from, but she’d hoped he would understand just as his mother had. Understood that she knew she had done wrong. Understood that she wanted a second chance. Was she too naïve to have hoped he’d do just that?

He stopped, turned, and frowned at her. A shiver went down her spine as she watched him raise one eyebrow, but he didn’t move. He simply stared at her. Then he rolled his eyes and left.

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?

TODAY’S SNIPPET:

Melody should’ve known she wasn’t able to hide something like that from Lisa. She’d often surprised her by her intuition. “It’s been very kind to me so far.”

Lisa placed her hand onto Melody’s. “Will you keep it?”

She didn’t hesitate with the reply. “Yes, I will keep it. No matter what. That’s why I’ve returned here. There’s not a nicer place I could think of to raise a child.”

“What about the father?”

Melody pressed her lips together as her gaze went out towards the horizon again as she thought of Mick. There’d been no doubt in her mind, he wouldn’t have been happy about the news, but his reaction, as well as his family’s, had stunned her. And had shaken her to the very core.

“I can do it without him.”

“Please tell me, though, that he knows.”

Melody gave a slow nod, but didn’t speak. Calm spread through her body when Lisa gave her hand a soft squeeze.

Only a short while later, she watched her friend walk back along the road and presumably back to the house, feeling torn inside. Torn between the joy of carrying a baby, and sadness at the knowledge that it would grow up without a father. With a deep sigh, she closed her eyes for a moment. The cool breeze of the ocean hit her face, leaving goose bumps pebbling down her arms. One last glance over the water and she stood to return to the house as well.

Already from the distance, she spotted Harrison in front of the house. Slowing her steps, she shot him a glare, which he met dead on. She was sure her heart skipped a beat, and it annoyed the hell out of her. Her feet didn’t move despite how much she wanted them to. And damn it, if there wasn’t something in those green eyes that drew her in. That moment passed quickly, however, and he rushed past her down the street almost bumping into her.

TODAY’S SNIPPET:

Lisa sat next to her. “I thought I’d find you here.”

“I love this place. The old saying you don’t miss it until it is gone is true.”

Out of the corner of her eye she saw contentment on her friend’s face, but she remained silent.

It was a good five to ten minutes before Lisa finally broke the silence. “I apologise for Harrison. He’s very protective of me.” She paused. “Not sure where that comes from, because I don’t believe I’m an old and fragile woman.”

Melody turned to look at her. “He loves you. We always over react when it comes to people or things we love.”

“Yes.” Lisa agreed. “Yes, that makes sense.” She moved slightly towards Melody and brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face. “Is the baby causing you any trouble?”

Eyes wide, she stared at the older woman in surprise. “How … how do you know?”

Lisa’s warm voice gave Melody some comfort. “I’m fifty years and some. I’ve seen a lot in my life. It’s written all over your face.”
