This week’s Hook …

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE
by Iris Blobel

Dylan pinched the bridge of his nose and slid behind the wheel of his car, still confused by what had happened in the last twenty minutes. No doubt Lani Dekker was an interesting person. He shook that thought away. Interesting? How on earth was he able to make that judgement after only a few minutes of a chaotic conversation where lots had been implied and little had been said? Her reason for being here was to see Toby, and that in itself made her an interesting person. It was as simple as that. Plus, she had walked all the way from the main road and hadn’t once complained about her host being absent. Yes, she had been taken aback, but not annoyed. That made her interesting as well.

Blurb:

The discovery of her mother’s diaries unravels a secret which sends Lani on a journey to New Zealand …

She lost her mother in an accident. Now, Lani Dekker is determined to meet the man who, according to her mother’s diaries, is her father. He’s not what she expected, a bit on the extravagant side, but she soon warms up to him, thanks no less to Dylan, her father’s neighbour. Despite her attraction to Dylan, she can’t figure out whether he’s a friend or foe.

Dylan Harper is merely going through the daily motions after his wife died in a ski crash. That is, until his life is turned upside down by the arrival of his neighbour’s daughter. Their attraction is instant, even more so when they wake up in the same bed after an earthquake. However, it’s her accusation that his interest in her involves her father’s money rather than their mutual magnetism that derails their newfound bond.

Will finding the truth about her parents be a chance for Lani and Dylan to overcome their differences?

This week’s hook …

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE
by Iris Blobel

Was she going headfirst into a wall?

She shook the notion away. Everything was going to be fine, after all, he was her father.

Despite being exhausted, it took Lani a long time to fall asleep. So many things were going around in her head that her mind wasn’t able to calm. On top of that, every little noise in the house made her jerk and listen, resulting in a big lack of sleep.

Her emotions were going into overdrive. Yes, she finally was in New Zealand, however, an anxiety about meeting Tobias, her father, grew intensely within her.

Taking in a few long breaths, she reached for the light before searching for the photo of her mother and Tobias. It didn’t take long before she retrieved it from her jacket. She studied him and traced his face with her finger. The man next to her mother had dark curly hair, dark eyes, and a solid build. In her diary, her mother had described him as having chocolate brown eyes, thin lips, and dark chest hair.

Lani let out a soft snort. Clearly, she didn’t have the red hair from him, however, she could blame him for her wild curls.

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE

by Iris Blobel

“Tell Grandpa, I agree. I don’t have to meet him.” She paused for a beat. “But I want to.”

“Darling, don’t take it to heart. He feels he’s being replaced by—”

“No one could ever replace him,” Lani emphasised. “Grandpa is my one and only.”

Her grandmother let out a soft sigh but didn’t reply.

Lani massaged her forehead. “I’d better go and get a good sleep. It’s going to be a big couple of days.”

“I hope all goes well. We have our fingers crossed.”

“Thank you.”

She disconnected the call, checked her email, and switched off the phone. On second thought, she turned it on again but muted it.

Fingers crossed. Her grandmother’s words popped into her mind. Dylan had said something along that line as well. Why? What was she missing? Was she going headfirst into a wall?

This week’s hook …

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE

by Iris Blobel

Lani let out a snort, knowing that he hadn’t used Tobias’ name but a derogative word she’d rather not repeat. “Tell him he’s too impatient, just like Mum used to be. I’ve only just arrived.”

A moment of silence followed. The loss of her mother, her grandparents’ daughter still raw for all of them.

She heard her grandfather again. “You don’t have to meet him.”

A stab of pain went through her. Her grandpa had always been her best friend, the person she went to when trouble surrounded her, or during times she had her heart broken, and recently after she had lost her job and had to move in with grandparents because she had run out of money. Most of all, he’d been her rock when her mother had died in a plane crash six months ago. They’d spent hours on the couch watching TV or sat outside under the pergola watching the birds and the breeze rustling through the trees. They hugged, cuddled, often in silence, sometimes reminiscing stories of her mum. They cried often and they laughed as well. No way could she have coped without him. He’d been there for her despite grieving the loss of his child.

“Tell Grandpa, I agree. I don’t have to meet him.” She paused for a beat. “But I want to.”

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE

by Iris Blobel

“Thought I’d better give you a quick call to let you know I have arrived.”

The relief in her grandmother’s voice was evident by being up a notch. “Oh, darling. So good to hear from you. How was your flight and the bus trip?”

“All went well. The flight was smooth, and the bus ride here was okay, too.” She didn’t mention that she’d had to walk the last stretch of her journey. It would’ve only worried her grandmother.

“Is it as beautiful as the pictures you showed me?”

Her mouth curved into a smile. Yes, it was. She thought of the sparkling snow on the top of the mountains. “It’s dark here already, but I took a few photos, which I’ll send through once we’ll have finished the call.”

“I can’t wait. Are the owners nice and looking after you?”

Lani threw herself onto the bed undecided how to respond. Should she tell the truth? Her grandmother was already anxious about her travelling on her own, never mind the fact that she was twenty-five years old.

She heard her granddad in the background. “What was that?”

“Grandpa is being a smarty pants wanting to know whether you’ve already talked to Tobias.”

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE

by Iris Blobel

Lani stood and enjoyed the display in front of her for a while before she returned to her own room. She unpacked a sandwich and ate it as she read through the information folder. It had the touristy details in it like main phone numbers for police, hospital, and emergency. It also listed some local activities and recommended a few restaurants. It contained housekeeping items such as the location of the main exits in case of a fire and the time for breakfast, which, in her case at the moment, was irrelevant. It detailed instructions on how to light a fire, for which she was grateful, and the connection for the Wi-Fi.

She placed the folder back on the bedside table and reached for her phone to connect. Her relief was instant as soon as the little indicator told her she had been successful. Quickly, she checked her emails and then the local time in Melbourne. They were only two hours behind. She opened another app and called her grandmother.

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE

by Iris Blobel

For the next ten minutes, she wandered through the house and checked the doors and windows. The house was beautiful. The owner had decorated it in a tasteful mountain log cabin style. It had been built and primarily furnished of wood. And she loved it. Most of the spacious rooms incorporated a window bench to enjoy the view and a cosy little bathroom. The fireplace was the centrepiece of the living room … and suddenly she thought of the possibility of a cold night ahead, but with some relief, she remembered seeing a panel heater in her room. She needed to check it before going to bed.

After her tour of the house, Lani returned to the kitchen for her belated cup of tea and then meandered upstairs where she found another two rooms. Loft rooms. She strode over to the window and with a full moon shining bright, she was treated to a memorable view of the mountains in the distance. The snow glittered like diamonds under the starry night, dancing on the snow. It was hypnotising.

IN THE SHADOWS OF A LIE

by Iris Blobel

Lani watched Dylan leave, still in two minds about him. He’d triggered all kinds of thoughts within her. She visualised his good boy looks with his short blond hair, stunning blue eyes, and yes, she had to admit, a very sexy, impish smile. The blue shirt fit snugly, even untucked over his faded cargo pants. True, she definitely had been the reason for their awkward conversation, and as she rubbed the fatigue out of her eyes, she justified her actions by the fact that she hadn’t expected to come to an empty bed and breakfast without a host. The idea of being on her own in a decent sized house somewhere in New Zealand didn’t fill her with great confidence either, not to mention how much it unnerved. Who could blame her for being somewhat out of sorts? She rubbed her arms and, overcome by frustration, let out a little scream before she headed to the front door to lock it. Who the hell would come this far to steal something? Then again, who wouldn’t? No nosy neighbours to watch the house. She gave another irritated groan, cursing Dylan for putting the seed of worry into her head.

“I’ll be here at eight o’clock. Please lock the doors after me.”

Brows raised, she gaped after him. A snort escaped his lips. He shouldn’t tease her, and he wasn’t sure why he said it, most likely a childish payback for not telling him the reason for her visit.

And as he walked to his car, he shook his head, muttering, “I’m turning into a grumpy old man.” Because he knew, she’d had every right not to tell him.

Eyes wide, she asked, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

How was he meant to answer? He didn’t know, so he left the room without replying.

“Wait!”

He blew out a breath and stopped at the touch of her hand on his arm.

“I was taught manners, but I’m dead on my feet. It’s been a long day and this…” She waved her hand a little. “…is not what I expected.” Removing her hand from him, she continued. “Will you stay for breakfast tomorrow morning?”

Slowly, he raised his left brow. “Wasn’t part of the deal, but my curiosity is piqued.”

Her soft laugh was nothing more than a faint sound, but pure. Not only had she roused his curiosity by wanting to see Toby, but she intrigued him as well. Something about her screamed determination and strength, because truth be told, she’d handled the situation well, considering she was going to stay on her own in a big house, in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country.
