#MFRWHooks ”Darling, I’m a landscaper, not a florist.” #beginnings #TuesdayTeaser #booktomoviepitch

Hi everyone – It’s time to move on …
I’m sharing a 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 Fraser took in the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere of the packed chapel. Every pew was filled, and ushers did their best showing the guests to their seats. Surprising, because he’d been told it was going to be a small ceremony, with only close friends attending. More surprising, however, was that he had received an invitation since the wedding couple, Zach and Natasha, weren’t even programmed into his phone speed dial and there were ten speed dial buttons. Or maybe twelve? He wasn’t sure.

Natasha had come to see him a few months earlier and asked him whether he would be able to help with the floral arrangements.

“Darling, I’m a landscaper, not a florist,” he’d explained.

She’d stared at him with her beautiful dark blue eyes. “Your point is?”

Pinching the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb, he had replied, “You’ve studied at university. Didn’t they tell you about the difference?”

“Jared. I studied teaching, not botany.”

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.

#SnippetSunday & #WeWriWa “Scared, she wasn’t able to find her voice” #8sunday #indieauthor #NewZealand

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

When Tiffany Cahill opened the door and laid eyes on the police officers, memories flooded back of the horrid day the year before when she’d been dragged to the police station. Everything inside her tensed as she checked the lever for the screen door to make sure it was locked. She rubbed her damp palms against her pants.

“Miss Cahill?” the male police officer asked, his dark brown eyes focussing on her.

Scared, she wasn’t able to find her voice, she bit her lip and simply nodded.

“Miss Tiffany Cahill?” the female, and younger, officer asked.

Tiffany nodded again. If she focussed on the officer’s flaming red hair beneath her cap, she wouldn’t have to meet her eyes. But she allowed herself a cautious peek at the officers’ faces.

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?

Author Bio:

USA Today Bestselling Author, Colleen Charles, invites you to come along for the ride as she brings her snarky, woo-woo, and ‘a little bit extra’ personality to the world of steamy romance. A go-to author for hot hockey action with dirty-talking, cinnamon roll heroes, and smart, capable, independent heroines, Colleen’s writing will leave you laughing, emotional, and hungry for more.

When she’s not penning tales readers devour, she indulges in the Starbie’s pinkity drinkity with chocolate cold foam, wrangles her crabby Ragdoll cats, and douses her salads with blue cheese dressing and bacon bits. I mean… she’s firmly anti-diet culture, and everything’s better with bacon. With her unique mix of humor, heart and heat, Colleen Charles is the romance author you never knew you needed until now. She’s not your basic bitch. Okay… maybe just a tiny bit basic. At least during pumpkin spice season.

Colleen creates perfectly imperfect characters you’ll root for until the very last page.

from IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE
The story is mostly set in New Zealand

I hope you’ll Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

Dylan Harper’s mouth edged up into a smile as he sauntered to the centre of the kitchen. “May I assume you’re Ms Dekker?”

He took her in. She was dressed for the local environment with her cargo pants, hiking boots, and a warm puffy jacket. Her wild, curly hair was held back in a ponytail with a white scrunchie. Her hair was an intense dark shade he’d never seen before. Her beautiful emerald green eyes were equally intriguing. He couldn’t help but be drawn in by them, even more so via the small distance between him and her. It didn’t go past him, though, that the very same eyes reflected a mix of worry and hesitation with every step he moved closer to her.

Blurb:

The discovery of her mother’s diaries unravels a secret which sends Lani on a journey to New Zealand …

She lost her mother in an accident. Now, Lani Dekker is determined to meet the man who, according to her mother’s diaries, is her father. He’s not what she expected, a bit on the extravagant side, but she soon warms up to him, thanks no less to Dylan, her father’s neighbour. Despite her attraction to Dylan, she can’t figure out whether he’s a friend or foe.

Dylan Harper is merely going through the daily motions after his wife died in a ski crash. That is, until his life is turned upside down by the arrival of his neighbour’s daughter. Their attraction is instant, even more so when they wake up in the same bed after an earthquake. However, it’s her accusation that his interest in her involves her father’s money rather than their mutual magnetism that derails their newfound bond.

Will finding the truth about her parents be a chance for Lani and Dylan to overcome their differences?

Today’s Snippet

Connor’s chest tightened and a no comment lay on the tip of his tongue, but he replied as calm as possible, “That chapter is closed.”

“She mentioned she misses you.”

“Leave it be, Father.”

“She’s got a great career ahead of her.”

“Good for her.”

“Son, whatever you did—”

But Connor hung up. He didn’t want to listen to any lies or excuses Harriet had come up with while talking to Duncan Walsh, main partner of Walsh & McGregor Law Firm. The conversation had probably been a lousy attempt to make sure her job at the firm was still secure, despite them going their separate ways.

Her Beauty Takes His Breath Away… Only She Can Restore It

Eagle Heart of the Blackfoot Nation has not come to the trading post, Fort
Union, to trade, but to find his missing brother. The medicine man
has never seen a white woman, but, when she walks into the room, her
beauty literally steals his breath.

Laylah McIntosh has assets besides beauty that make her valuable to her
father, the fort’s trader: her skill with numbers, her photographic
memory and her knowledge of the sign language used by all the tribes.
But, when she’s injured and caught in a fierce blizzard, it is
Eagle Heart, alone, who rescues her.

Forced into each other’s company, their attraction deepens. But a union
between them is forbidden in both their worlds.

Can their love find a way to survive? Or will their differences separate
them forever?

Warning:
Sensuous romance and a love written in the stars could cause a gal to
go West in search of love and adventure.

She Captures My Heart
The Medicine Man Book 2

 

Two Worlds. Two Hearts. A Forbidden Passion.

Amelia McIntosh was only fourteen when she fell in love with the young and
handsome Gray Falcon of the Blackfoot Tribe. He’d helped her
through a difficult time, and, for him in turn, she’d opened up a
vital part of the medicine man’s world. Five years later, Amelia is
still in love with the mesmerizing Gray Falcon, but her refusal to
marry anyone but him has created a dangerous problem for her and her
family.

When Amelia—the pesky little girl from Gray Falcon’s past—returns to
the Northwest, he can’t help but notice she has blossomed into a
beautiful, desirable woman — one who sets his heart aflame. Yet, he
must resist her feminine charms because, though she is a friend, what
she asks of him is against all Gray Falcon stands for as a medicine
man.

United only in love, will love, alone, be enough to stave off a world
threatening to pull them apart?

Warning: A sensuous romance that might cause a gal to capture the heart of her own true love.

Title: The Write Choice
Author: Jami Rogers
Genre: Contemporary Romance

About The Write Choice:

Author Jami Rogers continues the Lust or Bust series with another steamy, enemies to lovers romantic comedy. Living with the one woman who can’t stand you is bound to make a great story!

I have the career, the house, the family, the friends, but not the girl. The one. The woman to spend my life with. As a romance writer, I’m as cliché as it gets. I love love. I want to be in love. I want to experience everything that comes with it: heartbreak, happiness, fighting, you name it.

I want it all.

What I didn’t want, however, was to get married in Vegas on a whim.

To a woman I can’t stand.

To a woman I can’t stop thinking about.

I know, I know, that doesn’t even make sense.

Trust me, I know. Here’s the kicker. She’s just as stubborn as I am and failure is not a word either of us has in our vocabulary. How far are we going to go till we each get the outcome we want in the end? Life, love—both are on the line.

At some point, there’s no coming back, and what happens then? How much do I lose?

I’m about to find out.
