Today's hook
Just
like now as she stood in front of her, quite possibly trying to figure out what
the phone call had been all about.
“What
on earth happened?”
“Don’t
give me this attitude, honey. Your super boy didn’t show up that’s what happened.”
Olivia’s
eyebrows shot up. “Excuse me?”
“You
heard me.” Jeri walked past her niece. “Your sex-on-legs lover boy hid like a frightened
turtle.”
Olivia’s
cackle didn’t go unnoticed, and Jeri turned to her, anger rising.
“Honey,
this is not funny,” she said, with as much calm as she could summon.
“Having
a blind date with a guy who halfway through dinner goes to the toilet without returning
because his pills played havoc with his heart might be funny. Or being asked for
a 10,000 dollar loan on the very first date might also be considered funny.”
Jeri took a deep breath. “But I can’t see the funny side in sitting in a busy
restaurant, not to mention one of the best in town, waiting for your friend’s
neighbour who never turns up. Do the words trust
me ring a bell?”
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?
