Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new ‘rock star romance’ that I’m working on. It’s in the very early stages. This is still Chapter One. Rowan Beckett introduced herself and said she was there about the job and apartment. Maverick is speaking first.

“Rowan Beckett,” he repeated then realized why her name sounded familiar to him. “I didn’t expect you until Wednesday morning.” He’d never met Rowan in person, only spoke to her briefly on the phone. For some reason he thought Rowan would be older but if he were to guess he’d say she was about his age or maybe few years younger.
“My lease was up yesterday and I was packed,” she told him. “I should have called and given you a warning I would be here sooner. If it’s a problem, I’ll check into a hotel.”
Rowan had been the first one to call him about the manager position that opened up after his previous managers had moved back South Carolina to be closer to her daughter who had just had a baby. Rowan’s resume had been impressive and he needed a manager pronto since he had the Merry Mayhem Christmas shindig just around the corner. Tryouts were scheduled for next week.

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul…
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn’t be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?
