Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
About the snippet: Katie wasn’t buying the casual way Maverick asked about Rowan.
This is in Maverick’s POV. He is speaking first.

“What?“
“I knew it,” she exclaimed and slammed the chalk down on the bar.
“Knew what?”
“Don’t play stupid with me. You better not have slept with her.”
“What—No! Jesus, Katie, I just met the woman a day ago.”
“So you want to sleep with her but haven’t gotten around to it.”
“Of course not.” Even though his voice seemed to say just the opposite.

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 guess his desire is pretty close to the surface. I wonder if Rowan can sense it too? That’d be an interesting development.
Ed,
We’ll have to wait and see.
He isn’t fooling her at all! lol Great snippet, Karen!
Have a great Valentine’s Day. 🙂
Nope, he isn’t.
You have a Happy Valentine’s Day too.
Why is Katie so upset at the idea he might have slept with Rowan?
Aurora,
She has her reasons. To be continued…
Yep, he’s not able to hide his feelings very well.
I love the way the accusation of wanting to, which is outside anyone’s control, comes across as bad as the act itself! So true to life 🙂
I’m glad you liked the snippet. 🙂
Ha! Katie knows what’s up. Though if Rowan looks anything like the model, I wouldn’t be blaming Maverick. I’m straight and I want to sleep with that girl! THOSE LIPS!!! 😀 Also, I forgot to change the time on my post, but it’s live now!
Amy,
You made me chuckle. Yep, in Maverick’s eyes, she’s definitely a looker. 🙂
I wonder why Katie’s so upset. Is she jealous or worried about him?
Alexis,
She’s worried.
A complex situation. Very interesting.
Thank you. I’m glad you’re intrigued.
Katie seems to know him pretty well and he’s still protesting too much LOL. Great snippet!
She does.
Great dialogue … love how she twists his answers. 🙂
Iris,
I’m glad you enjoyed that. 🙂
Great snippet. Poor Katie. She knows he’s smitten and can do nothing about it.
