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 snippet: Maverick’s lips curved and damn his wicked smile. It made it difficult to concentrate on anything else. “How did you like the acoustics?
***
“I loved it. Never thought to host bands in such small room but it definitely tells you if the band is talented or if they hide behind special effects.”
“I like to keep it real.”
She met his gaze. “Did you design the stage?”
He nodded. “I didn’t know it would be a hit or not but it seems the people crave good music as much as I do.”
She could fall in love with this guy and the thought petrified her. “I… better get…uh… back inside,” she stammered and took a step back, causing Maverick’s right brow to arch. “I don’t want to miss the next set,” she told him and hoped the heat she felt in her cheeks didn’t show like bright pink blotches.
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?
The tension between them is so strong. It’s got to break eventually. I wonder who will lose control first.
Jessica,
Won’t it be fun to find out? lol
Now I’m curious why she’s petrified as the idea for falling in love with him.
Aurora,
She does have her reasons. 🙂
I have a feeling she’s already pretty much falling in love with him so good luck to her on avoiding the situation LOL. Enjoyed the excerpt!
Veronica,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the snippet.
A lady with much to hide, from herself and him, she’s smart to cut and run but he’s not going to let her get far. Great snippet, Karen.
Nancy,
No, he won’t. 🙂
Boy, she’s got her work cut out for her, if she absolutely must not fall in love with him.
Christina,
It will definitely be tough. lol
I love the role music plays in her attraction to him. It works so well with the story’s setting.
Ed,
I’m so glad you like that music plays a part in the attraction. 🙂
I’m wondering what he thinks of her sudden nervousness and blushing.
