Nothing like a working writers’ weekend to get a new project AND a new book release off the ground and running! With PRINCE OF DREAMS, my final “House of Terriot” book debuting Tuesday, Oct. 2 across all platforms, it’s time to snuggle in with Max Savoie and start RISE BY MOONLIGHT! Hope to share from it soon.
Following up on last weekend’s snippet, our hero, the youngest Terriot prince who picked the worst possible time to find the girl of his dreams, tells her he’s looking for a reason to remain in New Orleans. She’d hoped SHE was the reason, but suspects his interest is sparked by another, less romantic purpose . . .
Phe should have known better, but she’d wanted to believe . . . what, that a dream like Kip Terriot would fall for her without knowing, oh, by the way, her dad was one of the richest and most connected men in Orleans County? He was just like the dozens before and probably after him, looking for a quick and easy in.
Keeping her focus on the rapidly cooling coffee, she told him evenly, “Nick is the one you need to talk to since he vets prospective employees for IT and communications for the private side of my dad’s business, and I assume that’s what you’re interested in.”
“The guy you were with tonight?”
“I offered to help him, too, and smart, like you, he took advantage of it.” And me, the son of a bitch. Though she should have been inured to it by this time, the pain and disappointment went as deep as her every expectation.
She looked up then, smile fixed, its falseness hidden by experience, to say, “I’ll have him call you and set up an interview.”
“You’ve got my number.”
Oh yes, she did, in spades.
Pre-Order!
Ace of Spades or Prince of Hearts? How can he choose between family loyalty and his heart’s desire?
While my tireless VA gets PoD ready to be read, I’m burning up the keyboard with these creative sparks (and a Keurig!) to fire my creative flame . . . I’m top right, the one in black with headphone hair. Chapter 1, you’re toast!
I have an office to finish closing, an interview AND a new job waiting first of the week, so pass the RumChata coffee pods! I have a book to write . . .
