Hi everyone –
Let me tease you with another MFRWHook from But the Heart Does, the latest instalment in the Alinta Bay series. This story is filled with romance, and second chances
This week’s Hook …
“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.

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?
Oh wow. Being stuck in an elevator with a crowd of people would be horrifying. But with one person who stayed calm? Better than being alone.
Absolutely! Being stuck in a lift is bad, being stuck on your own might be close to a nightmare 😉
At least they managed to reach someone in this excerpt! Fingers are crossed for them. Or do we want them to get out of there? LOL.
Thanks Maggie. We want them to get out, but before that, we will learn a bit or two about them 😉
Hi,
I asked myself why Jonah was amused as Maddie talked to the person on the intercom. Is it possible that he is happy that they are stuck in elevator together?
Shalom shalom
Pat, he was amused because she was rattling down too much information showing her anxiety 😉 Hope this makes more sense now.
