I hope you get
hooked by this Snippet
Today's hook
Olivia
was Georgia’s daughter. Georgia was Jeri’s cousin, but to avoid confusion they
all agreed on Olivia being her niece. Jeri loved Olivia like her own daughter
and had often babysat her when she’d been younger. They’d been to movies,
concerts, and Jeri had even been along to one of her niece’s trips to Melbourne
to visit Olivia’s best friend Mia, who had moved across the Bass Strait.
As
Jeri walked down the streets to her car, she replayed her conversation with her
niece
in her mind.
“How
are your blind dates going?” her niece had asked as she came into Jeri’s gallery
a couple of days ago.
She’d
shrugged. “I have a winner’s luck getting hooked up with all the duds in town.”
Jeri remembered hesitating, contemplating whether to speak the words in her head.
Was she destined to live alone
after her divorce? She wasn’t looking for the man of her
dreams, just companionship. Someone to go out with once in a while. Someone to
share her day’s highlights or nightmares with.
“You
should meet the guy from next door,” Olivia said. “He’s like sex on legs.
Honestly.”
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?
