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 :Rowan is at her car and she glances up at Maverick’s apartment. She believes she saw the curtains flutter as if he might be watching her, but then she dismisses the possibility.
This is Rowan’s POV.
***
He has much better things to do than to follow your every move.
She refocuses on her task and readjusts the strap of her computer bag with a quick shrug of her shoulder before reaching for the suitcase handle. A flash lit the sky and a rumble followed before large raindrops fell in a steady stream. Apparently, Katie had been right about the forecast. She hurried toward the stairs with the clickety-clack of the wheels of her suitcase singing an urgent plea to hurry before they were soaked. Luckily, the stairs were located under an awning and the rain falling faster now could only angrily pound against the thick fabric without success of reaching her.
Once inside her place, she left the suitcase by the door and headed over to the nook with her laptop. She slipped it out of the bag and placed it on the countertop. Pulling up the stool for a seat, she opened the device to power it up.
She clicked on one file in particular that she’d saved to her desktop and a photo appeared on the screen to reveal a woman, who sported huge sparkly earrings to compliment her wildly-perm hair, and standing beside her was a man, who had his arm draped over her shoulders as if he were a shawl to keep the chill away.

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?
