Hi everyone ♥
I’m continuing with Snippets from BETWEEN GOODBYE AND HELLO, the third book in the ALINTA BAY series, moving into Melody’s POV today.
If you’re a KU subscriber, please take a moment to check it out as well as the first two books in the series: “DEFYING RULES” and “TELL IT TO MY HEART”
♥ ENJOY ♥
TODAY’S SNIPPET:
A little while later, Melody headed down to the foreshore. As she waded along the beach, she picked up a few pretty seashells, remembering the days she’d collected them with Lisa to decorate photo frames, added them in a glass canister with a starfish, or, her favourite, creating simple wind chimes.
She had looked forward to seeing Lisa again, and the disappointment of not being able to share her news with her bothered her a little. But would she have told Lisa everything straight away? The reason why she was here? It’d been a rough few months. A sigh escaped her as the ache of losing her grandmother and the pain caused by Mick nearly ripped her apart. It was a terrible ache and no medication in the world was able to ease it.
Comfort and bliss trickled through her as she placed her hand on her stomach, remembering there was something, after all, that was able to ease the pain a little. Her grandmother’s words came to mind that even though painful at that moment sometimes it was best to move on with life. No matter what happened.
She did her best doing just that.
She sat on a bench along the path. Deeply inhaling the salty air, she closed her eyes for a brief moment as the breeze brushed her face, listening to the sound of the surf and the squawking of seagulls. Out near the small harbour, the water lapped against the rocks and seagulls screeched high above in the blue sky. The fresh air filled her lungs, and she soaked in the sun’s warm rays while trying to ignore the small wave of nausea that hit her.
A gentle touch on her shoulder startled her.
BLURB:
Can two seemingly incompatible people who judge each other on past events be able to find some common ground?
Harrison Hendrix believes in second chances, but when it comes to Melody, he has every reason to doubt it’s possible. He’s conflicted when he sees her back in town and tries his best to see the change in her that other friends mention. Even more so when spending a night with her after being set up for a dinner date.
Life hasn’t been kind to Melody Foster, and she returns to Alinta Bay for a new beginning. Hit by tragedy again, she’s determined to live life to the fullest and with no regrets. She creates a bucket list … on which #8 the very difficult, yet extremely sexy Harrison has been included. Why does it seem he’s always around when she’s in trouble?
Maybe it’s time to take a risk and leave the past where it belongs, but will trusting their instinct be the right choice for them?
What a great scene, Iris! All the subtle feels that tease the reader into needing more!
How lovely to “see” you here, Nancy 🙂 And thanks for the kind comment!
