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 …
Some static noise followed from the panel. “Maddie, this isn’t about sexism. I needed to talk to Jonah as well. It’s not only about finding out what can be done but also understanding your mental state.”
She blew out a frustrated sigh and slouched her shoulders. “I know you’re right, and I do apologise. I just feel so helpless.”
Jonah winked at her. “Let’s tackle this together.”
A smile spread across her flushed face. They both approached the doors, attempting to grip them from opposite sides.
“Okay,” he said. “One, two, three.”
Both put some effort into pulling the doors apart, but to no avail. Placing his hands on his knees, he drew a few breaths to steady himself as he watched Maddie slide down the wall into a seated position.
“How are you coping?”
She nodded. “Never been big on exercises.”
Letting out a soft laugh, he turned to the panel. “Mate, you’re still there?”
“Wouldn’t dare to leave you.”
“No luck with the doors, I’m afraid.”
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 enjoyed the excerpt, Iris. I can’t wait for them to get out of that elevator!
Thank you, Jana. Glad you liked it 🙂
