Hi everyone –
Today’s hook continues with “Their Bond through Jade”
This week’s Hook …
She’d met him over a year ago. He’d been in her business management classes, and she’d liked him straight away. Sexy described him to the dot. His voice, his face, his sense of how to dress, his compliments…she was sure she could come up with more. Yet, his enthusiasm had been lacking, and he’d struggled through classes. Obviously, Tiffany had been happy to help, because hanging out with the wrong crowd, or friends as they called themselves, in school, she’d left after Year 9 with nowhere to go, and she knew how it was. Hudson and Tiffany hung out more and more, until they’d spent a night together. Rolling her eyes at herself, she admitted, yes, perfect was the right word to describe having sex with him. He’d known how and where to touch her, exploring every curve with his mouth, leaving a trail of kisses. The mere thought still sent shivers down her spine, followed by a chill thinking about what had happened the next day. She’d found him in his lounge room, all pale with little pearls of sweat on his forehead. It hadn’t taken her long to figure out the reason for his distress. When she started giving him a lecture about drugs, he’d snapped, throwing a tantrum.

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?
It’s sort of surprising that someone addicted to drugs would be able to function so well socially and sexually.
Rough awakening for Tiffany, though.
Thanks Lisabet.
From what I’ve read, they can be great manipulators.
It’s tough when you try to help someone and it backfires.
Thanks Kayelle. Nobody should ever be in this kind of situation.
She’s in a rough situation for sure.
Not too too bad 😉 Thanks for stopping by, Kate.
