Today's hook
Jeri
Belmont checked the time on her watch. It was twenty past six, and they’d agreed
to meet at six.
He was late!
Steaming
inside, and less than impressed by her blind date, she took another sip of the
Chardonnay as she gazed around the restaurant. Everyone was engulfed in their conversations,
but occasionally one of the patrons glanced at her. She shrugged it off, confident
in sitting on her own in the town’s most elegant restaurant. What she couldn’t
shrug off, though, was her date being late. She drank the last little bit of
her wine, paid, and left. A deep disappointment settled in the pit of her
stomach, surprising her, because it hadn’t been the first time she’d been on a
blind date that ended with the guy not showing up. She suppressed a groan as
she thought of the man she’d met only a few weeks earlier. Admittedly, he’d
been nice, but not at all what he’d pretended to be in the details she received
from the “Your Future Heart” agency. Yet, this rejection hurt inside. Olivia had
told her so much about her neighbour, and she’d trusted her niece when she’d
assured he’d be there.
Blurb:
A blind
date that doesn't happen might lead to love.
After her divorce, Jeri Belmont moved to Hobart and now runs a successful art gallery. When her niece sets her up with a neighbour, Jeri expects a blind date like all the others. But she never expected her date wouldn’t even show up because of her age. Despite feeling unjustly judged, when she unexpectedly runs into him again, she finds it hard to ignore Ely’s charm.
Ely Lennox knows he shouldn’t have skipped the blind date because of the lady’s age. After all, it had only been a date, not a lifetime commitment. When his carpentry business takes him right to the woman he bailed out on, his guilt turns into regret when he finds out she’s everything a man could hope for. How can he convince Jeri he made a big mistake?
Will she forgive him? Or is she hiding behind something else?
