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.
Last week : Maverick made a hasty retreat after showing Rowan the bedroom.
This is Rowan’s POV.
***
She found him in the kitchen, the nook separating them like a barrier she should never cross and yet her mind found a way. Thoughts of red wine, her hands on his bare chest, and stolen kisses… Who was she kidding? She’d give those away for free.
“There are plates and cups in the cupboard.” His voice, though deep and melodic, evaporated the vision of pleasure like mist in the morning breeze. She shifted her weight uncomfortably and tucked an imaginary hair behind her ear, wishing a cool wind would touch her heated flesh, but no windows were propped open and the central air didn’t seem to be working.
“The coffeepot on the counter and the refrigerator are both in good condition,” he finished as he turned to face her, his gaze meeting hers expectantly, his eyes smoldering depths of dark blue… She blinked and blinked again to force the erotic images from her mind. He was going to believe her unhinged if she kept this up.

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?
I’m getting the impression she kinda likes him. 😉
Ed,
lol- Maybe just a tad.
I like her inner struggle and can’t wait to read whether or not something is going to happen between these two.
Iris,
So glad you’re interested to know how it will all work out.
Oooh, I hope he likes her back and he’s just better at hiding it than her! Great snippet!
Elyzabeth,
Time will tell. 🙂
Haha, I would be flustered too!
Amy,
Me too.
How is she going to tell him what she feels?
Aurora,
It may take some time before she does.
Seems like the unspoken attraction is mutual. And of course neither of them will admit it to the other … 🙂
Botanist,
It is but it may take some time for them to acknowledge it. 🙂
She’s got it bad…and I loved reading about it LOL. The tension is so amped up here! Really an excellent excerpt and I cannot wait for more.
Veronica,
So glad you like reading about her unnerving attraction. 🙂
Oh she really does like him doesn’t she! Great snippet, sizzling nicely! 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed the snippet. 🙂
Ooh, la la. Can’t wait to find out where this is going. Good job!
Eh, what’s wrong with being a little unhinged? All the best people are a little mad. LOL. Good snippet.
The best of the best always are. lol
Very emotional scene. She’s smitten, that’s for sure. 🙂
