Hi everyone ♥
Today’s post includes another snippet from my newest release WHISPERS OF HER MEMORIES. The story is set in New Zealand, South Island.
♥ ENJOY ♥
Today’s Hook
He rubbed the back of his neck and added, “I owe Sofia.” He stared into the distance towards Sofia’s house, wondering if she’d known how much she’d helped him during those months after… well, after everything. When his world had collapsed, her door had been open for him, at any time of the day.
With unexpected swiftness, Amy leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek. “You’re the best,” she declared, giving Buddy another pat on the head. “You are too.” She laughed.
“I’m the only one. And what have I told you about the kissing.”
Waving her hand dismissively, Amy marched off towards the real estate office. “Aww, you love my kisses.”
Blurb
Mallory O’Neill swaps the buzz of Melbourne for the quiet shores of Anahera Bay, New Zealand, hoping for a fresh start… not secrets and surprises. But the crumbling seaside cottage left to her by Sofia—the grandmother she never knew—holds more than just dust and disrepair. It holds the key to a family history her late mother never spoke of.
As Mallory pieces together Sofia’s past, she faces the doubts of old friends and the arrival of an unexpected stranger. Along the way, she finds friendships among the locals, but she also meets resistance from the brooding handyman, Cameron Quinn, a man haunted by his own past.
When faded letters, old photographs, and buried truths come to light, Mallory and Cameron find themselves drawn together by grief, memory, and a spark neither of them expected.
HI,
Since I’ve been reading snippets of this story, I wonder if Amy is also in love with Cameron or is she only the matchmaker? The dialogue with “You love my kisses as she walks off makes me think that.
Shalom shalom
Thanks, Pat. No, Amy is happily married and just teasing Cameron, because it’s easy to rile him up 😉
She’s sassy. 😉 I like that!
Mission accomplished. Glad you do 😉 Thanks, Kayelle.
Okay,.. so who is Amy?
It’s hard to read a book a few paragraphs every week!
But it does enhance the suspense.
Thanks, Lisabet. I agree, it’s not easy, especially when you reading more than one Hook 🙂
Amy’s a local and good friend to Cameron.
I think Amy is more of a sister/friend to Cameron. Very cute excerpt.
Thank you, Jana. Yes, she is 🙂
Can’t go wrong with sassiness and kisses. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for stopping by 🙂 Appreciated.
