Hi everyone –
I’m sharing another snippet from FRESH BEGINNINGS,
a story this is mainly set in the USA and follows our itinerary
when we travelled through five States in a motorhome a few years ago.

 Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

Two weeks later and after fourteen hours stuck in a crowded plane, Jared set foot on American soil. Actually, he didn’t set foot on soil but on one of the buses that transported a whole airplane full of tired travellers to the terminal for immigration purposes. It was still early in the morning. In fact, it was two hours earlier than he had left Melbourne. A fact that amazed him and showed how little he knew about travelling the world. The flight had fortunately been uneventful. He’d asked for an aisle seat next to the exit and had been able to throw in a snooze or two. Now holding on to a flimsy strap in the bus, Jared tried hard to breathe through his mouth to avoid the lingering smell of the passengers who, it seemed, hadn’t had contact with water and soap in many hours. It was like a trap he wasn’t able to escape.

Next on his journey was a long stop-and-go struggle through the immigration hall and customs. For some odd reason, Jared hadn’t expected going through immigration to be a memorable five minutes.

“Sir, may I see your passport?”

Blurb:

Jared Fraser from Hobart, Australia, embarks on a journey in a motorhome down the legendary American Route 66. Yet, his travels take a couple of unexpected turns from his initial plans. One of which is meeting Ivy, a beautiful hitchhiker. As they spend time together, she captivates Jared and stirs long-dormant emotions within him.

Having recently made the difficult decision to leave her boyfriend, Ivy Bennett is determined start over and find her own happiness. When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Jared, their meeting sets off a chain of events that will test them both in unforeseen ways.

While on this journey, can they both find the strength to let go of their pasts and embrace the possibility of a fresh beginning.

I’d like to introduce you today to one of my books which is set in Australia and New Zealand ~ THEIR BOND THROUGH JADE

Today’s snippet is in Tiffany’s POV. ENJOY ♥

Today’s Snippet

“Thanks, Mat. Yes, I’ll be fine.” It wasn’t a big lie, because at that moment she was feeling better.

She hung up and noticed a smile on her face. And instead of a churning stomach, butterflies had made themselves comfortable. She thought of how easy the conversation had flowed and how attentive he’d been. And his voice. She liked his voice. It was deep and calm, smooth and articulate. She closed her eyes and lost herself in his accent. It hadn’t been strong, but still obvious to her.

And then there’d been his laugh. God, his laugh. It had turned her inside out.

With a big exhale, she covered her face with her hands, surprised that on a day she had to face the police, she was drooling over a man she’d never met, but only talked to.

For a mere few minutes, at that.

The police. A ripple of worry went through her, and she stood to search for her phone to give Steve another call. This time on his mobile.

Blurb

When Tiffany Cahill opens the door to the police, memories of the past return to haunt her. She calls her friend Steve for help, only to be surprised by the voice of a stranger on the other end of the line. She never anticipates the impact this New Zealander is going to have on her life, even more so when she becomes the victim of an assault just a few hours later.

Mat Apanui, owner of a helicopter tour company in New Zealand, can hear the urgency and despair in Tiffany’s voice. They have never met before, but he feels compelled to help her. After an assault on her, he invites her to travel with him to his home in Queenstown, New Zealand, where he believes he can provide her with the temporary safety and security she needs until the situation is resolved.

But can Tiffany overcome her reservations and trust a stranger like Mat enough to fly across the Tasman Sea?

This week’s Hook …

Heaving a big sigh, Mark replied, “Nope. Not at all. It’s just a bit of a surprise.” Grabbing his own car keys, he added, “Come on over for dinner on Saturday and we’ll go through details.”

“No worries, mate. I look forward to it.”

Jared slid behind the steering wheel and started the engine. He was looking forward to his holiday. He needed one, and not necessarily because he was exhausted or worn out, although tired, yet he needed a break in his routine. Driving out of the parking lot, he followed Mark to the intersection ahead before turning in the opposite direction. His friend’s reaction showed him as well that it was time for a change. Apparently, his life was so predictable that even a holiday surprised his friends

Today’s Snippet

“You tell me first how Steve knows someone from New Zealand.”

He laughed again, and it was one of those contagious laughs, which told everyone of his love for it: deep, heartfelt, and infectious. She liked him already for his laugh alone.

“You picked up on that, ay?”

“Educated guess.”

There was silence before he explained. “Steve and I went to school together in Sydney, and we’ve stayed in contact.”

She remembered Steve had grown up in Sydney but then moved to Melbourne in his early teens because of his father’s job. Mat’s voice brought her back from her thoughts, before she was able to reply.

“Darling, I love talking to you, but I’ve got to be somewhere in an hour. Can you promise me you’ll be okay?”

charming small-town romance

Sara Prescott’s eight-year-old son Max wants a dog. But their apartment doesn’t allow pets, and the divorced single mom can’t afford the certified seizure-alert dog Max needs. Instead, she and Max volunteer at the Furever Love Animal Shelter. Max forms a special bond with Jett, a big black bully breed and three-time loser who keeps getting dumped.

Animal Trainer Justin Reed comes back home to Magnolia Bay and visits the shelter to find a dog actor for a TV series set in nearby New Orleans. Justin chooses Jett, but the shelter’s director rejects his application because Jett needs a finally-forever home, not a job with an end date. The shelter’s resident animal communicator proposes a win-win. Justin can use Jett as an animal actor if he also trains Jett as a service dog for Max.

Sara and Justin have no business indulging their mutual attraction. Sara is focused on her son, and Justin will be leaving soon. But Max and Jett have other ideas…

#MFRWHooks “Do I need a reason?” #shamelessselfpromo #moviepitch #Netflix #paramountplus

Hi everyone –
I’m sharing another snippet from FRESH BEGINNINGS,
a story this is mainly set in the USA and follows our itinerary
when we travelled through five States in a motorhome a few years ago.

 Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

Jared gave his thumbs up. “Yup.”

“How long?”

“A bit over four weeks.”

Mark’s eyebrows shot up again. “Four weeks. Who’s looking after the business?”

“If I had known ya’d bombarded me with all these questions, I’d have told ya inside. Graham will do most of it, and you’ll help him with the books.”

His buddy raked his hand through his hair.

“Ya owe me, OC.”

He had called Mark OC for as long as he could remember. It stood for the initials of Mark’s surname O’Connor. Jared wasn’t sure why he’d taken to OC, but it had stuck since their childhood.

Mark’s eyes narrowed. “Owe you what?”

“To help out.”

Shaking his head as if he wanted to get rid of a fly, Mark finally said, “No worries about the books. I’ll help. I just don’t understand why all of a sudden.”

He shrugged. “Do I need a reason? I have the money. I’ve worked hard enough.” And, after a moment’s pause, he continued, “Are ya trying to make me feel guilty?”

Blurb:

Jared Fraser from Hobart, Australia, embarks on a journey in a motorhome down the legendary American Route 66. Yet, his travels take a couple of unexpected turns from his initial plans.
