Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

“The two of you and no one else?”

Jonah was certain the security person had to hold back on his mirth as well.

Maddie’s forehead creased into a frown, and she shot him a glare that wiped the amusement in an instant. Focussing on the panel, she responded, “Yes, just the two of us. Isn’t that enough?”

“Apologies, ma’am. It most certainly is.”

She rolled her eyes but stayed silent.

“Could you confirm if the light is still on?”

She blinked, and he couldn’t help but wonder about the significance of the question either. He gave her a shrug, but with a little nod, he encouraged her to reply.

“It’s basically dark, except for a dim light.”

“Thanks,” the electronic voice said. “May I ask if Jonah is an adult?”

Facing him, she studied him with deliberate slowness, creating an oddly awkward atmosphere between them. “Not sure why he wouldn’t be, but, yes, he’s a fine specimen of an adult.”

 

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?

“Have you tried the emergency button yet?”

He nodded and moved towards the lift’s controls, hitting the red button again.

“No response?”

Taking a few calming breaths, he tried again, this time with a gentler touch. A red switch lit up, and a static voice asked, “Triple C Security. What’s your name?”

Maddie joined him at the panel. “His name is Jonah.”

“Thanks. What’s your name, ma’am?”

“I’m Maddie. Actually, it’s Mandinka, but everyone calls me Maddie. Maddie Torres. And we’re stuck in a lift. In Alinta Bay. It’s in Victoria.”

Jonah cocked a brow and crossed his arms, a hint of amusement tugging at his lips despite the situation.

Maddie stood as well but was still unsteady and reached for his arm. “Good thinking.” She retrieved her mobile, flipped it open, and pressed a few buttons. “There’s no reception in here. How the hell can we have zero reception in here?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you’re all right?”

She pursed her lips, inhaling deeply before replying, “This lift should have already started moving downward by now if it was a minor issue.”

An eerie feeling crept over him. A worry that she was putting on a front and slowly spiralling into panic.

This week’s Hook …

Slowly, she lifted her head to meet his gaze.

“I’m sure there’s no reason to worry. We’ll be moving along soon again,” he added in an attempt to comfort her.

A small smile gradually spread across her face. “Nice meeting you, Jonah, though I wish it were under different circumstances,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She took a deep breath and added with more spark, “I’m Maddie, by the way.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Her deep blue eyes held him captive, and he found himself lost in them until her voice brought him back from his thoughts.

“Did you hear me?”

He shook his head slightly. “Apologies.”

“I said, I hope the local police didn’t upset a retiree by just giving him the traditional gold watch.”

It took a moment for him to comprehend her attempt to humour the situation. A soft chuckle escaped him, as he stood. “There has to be an emergency button.”

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.”

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?

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?

Steve parked and turned to look at her. “How about a barbeque at our place tomorrow night? I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to tell you all about his little barn in the middle of nowhere.”

“I’m telling you we’re having an appointment and that we’ve got to hurry along a bit.”
“How exciting.” Tiffany grabbed her keys, locked the door, and followed him to his car.
Once they were buckled up and on the road, Steve asked, “Have you had any contact with Hudson since?”
“No way. Once bitten, twice shy. Isn’t that what they say?” She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sat straight. “Okay, distract me a bit and tell me about Mat.”
He shook his head. “Sounds like love at first sight. Or hear, I suppose.”
“Oh, my God, no, but I’m curious about him.”
He chuckled. “Mat lived across the road from us in Sydney,” he explained with a shrug. “His dad had been a famous rugby player in New Zealand. The family moved to Sydney where his dad did some coaching. None of them really settled, though. Mat and I stayed in contact since. Liam and I visited him numerous times. I’m hoping to invest in his new business venture. That’s why he’s here.”
“What kind of business?”
Steve parked and turned to look at her. “How about a barbeque at our place tomorrow night? I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to tell you all about his little barn in the middle of nowhere.”
“Barn?”

This week’s Hook …

Opening the door for Steve, she gave him a grateful smile. As usual, he looked stunning with his suntanned face, his light green eyes, and just a shadow of a beard. His Irish red hair was a bit longer nowadays, which was most likely the current fashion, and Tiffany liked it. It gave him a sexier, yet mature look. Their friendship had grown even closer after her trouble with Hudson the previous year. He and Liam had been there for her when the police had knocked on her door and taken her to the station. It had been the worst period in her life. Both men had been by her side, though, caring for her and guiding her through the labyrinth of a legal nightmare.

He probably knew how anxious she was.

“Hi, Tiff,” he said, as he placed a kiss on her cheek. “Sorry, we’ve got to rush a bit. Jessi and I have an appointment in the afternoon.”

“Your girlfriend could show some—”

He held up his hand and his expression turned into a sly grin. “Let’s say we have a situation where I want to keep her stress levels as low as possible.”

She froze and a slow smile curved her lips. “Are you telling me there’s going to be a little Steve junior?”
