Today's hook
JERI
CURSED at Olivia’s promise. She unlocked the car and threw her bag onto the passenger
seat before sliding behind the steering wheel. After cranking up the radio, the
music was loud enough for her to ignore the outside noises. She leaned back and
closed her eyes, considered forgetting about finding the ‘right one.’ Living
alone wasn’t all that bad. She liked being alone, yet the thought of being
alone for the rest of her life scared her.
Jeri
took a deep breath, turned down the music, and grabbed her phone.
Without
giving her niece a chance to say a word when the call connected, she said,
“Sex
on legs in your dreams, honey,” and hung up.
She
took the long route back home, enjoying the drive and the night-lights of the city.
By the time she arrived at her home, Olivia stood in front of her door, hands
on hips. Her niece hadn’t changed much, if at all, in all the years she’d known
her.
Despite
looking like a little model, Olivia hated her curly blonde hair, which had been
near unmanageable while the hormones raged during her teenage years. A smile tugged
at Jeri’s lips as she remembered when she’d showed her niece how to apply some
makeup to show off her beautiful blue eyes. Olivia had wanted none of it —but she
still looked stunning. Even more so because nothing in the world really
bothered her and that smile on her face was a constant.
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?
