Today’s Snippet
Sighing, he reminded himself he’d left that chapter of his life behind and as he closed the door on his painful thoughts, he was thankful something else shifted his attention. Something that put a smile on his lips.
Pulled by curiosity, he listened to the noise from the back of the house — Molly humming quietly to some pop song.
It hit home with him that he’d never shared a house with a woman. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger wondering why he’d suggested the arrangement. There was no shortage of women in his life. Once the braces had come off when he’d been seventeen, it’d been another year before he’d left for the U.S. and another six months before he’d had his eyes fixed surgically. And after that, he had received lots of female attention.
And he’d never regretted it. He’d loved the women, and they loved him, but never did he let them come in or stay at his house. A relationship was not on his agenda. And he liked it that way. There’d been too many women in his life who had either disappointed him or he had been disheartened by them — mainly his mother and grandmother. He had no intentions of dealing with that stuff again. He listened again

Confronted with the choice to care for his friend’s family on the other side of the world or to return to Alinta Bay to be with his own newfound family, how will Noah choose?
Following the death of his grandmother, Noah Fielding returns to Alinta Bay and the first thing — or person — he finds is the next-door neighbour in his nan’s bathroom — naked no less. Still jetlagged, he doesn’t hit it off with Molly at first. Yet, over the next few weeks, as his past uncovers itself bit by bit, she becomes is anchor, his friend, and his lover.
Molly Reid had the world at her feet, happily married with a young son … until a tragic car accident took everything away from her. With her heart broken, she moves to Alinta Bay to escape the memories of the past. Her peaceful existence, however, is interrupted after a heavy storm floods her house and she temporarily moves into her recently deceased neighbour’s house next door.
When Noah’s friend and partner goes missing during a routine flight, Noah returns to Alaska to help, but will he come back for Molly?
Another great excerpt. I do love Noah.
Aww, thank you, Suzi. He was such fun to “write” 😀
Noah’s very introspective today. But I do think I know why he invited Molly to stay with him. He may not have wanted a relationship before, but now his grandmother is gone, perhaps he instinctively feels the need for female companionship. He does sound like rather a playboy, you know? 🙂 Great snippet!
Eek, it actually does. LOL.
He’s a great guy … just needs to sort his early childhood memories 😉
Love that final statement. All the dueling within him but her humming was winning him over. Nice snippet.
Thank you, Jeff. Listening to someone humming can be relaxing 😉
