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
Enjoy ♥♥
This week’s Hook…
He shrugged. “I suppose if you’re into that kind of music.”
Maddie looked up at the ceiling, taking deep breaths this time to calm herself. His response had triggered a hint of irritation. Why had he mentioned the song in the first place? She closed her eyes, attempting to distract her mind from the current situation she was in. She was going stir-crazy.
“Okay,” she blurted out. “I can’t handle the silence anymore. I’m struggling a bit here. Tell me, I can hear an accent. New Zealand.”
He cocked a brow.
“Well, it’s there, but at the same time, it’s not.”
A soft chuckle escaped Jonah’s lips, and despite her attempts to ignore it, she had to admit it affected the very core of her body. Everything was on alert. She found herself studying him under the dim lighting. It hadn’t been a lie when she described him as a nice specimen of a man, because he really was. His dark hair was cut extremely short, slightly longer at the top, where his aviator glasses sat. And good Lord, his T-shirt fit snugly against his body, especially across his chest, outlining a well-defined set of pecs. His black jeans very nicely traced every contour of his strong legs. His amber eyes held a glimmer of amusement in the semi-darkness, and his composed posture suggested the situation didn’t affect him nearly as much as it did her. She played with the mobile phone in her hand. “I won’t shut up, you know, because I’m starting to struggle a little here.”
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?
I love how she is having two reactions: annoyance but electrical excitement over his gorgeous looks. Well done!
Thank you, Maggie 🙂
She’s in a tough spot but at least she’s enjoying the view. 😉
LOL – yes, she is.
Thanks Kayelle for commenting, more than appreciated!
The contrast between their reactions helps to bring the characters into focus.
Thank you, Lisabet. Glad you liked it.
