Twirl and Dip (WIP) Drake’s POV
Hopping on a bus, two hours later he arrived at the Heart and Soul. It was just about closing time, but he knew Maverick Sullivan wouldn’t turn him away. He’d met the guy at a gig. He used to be in the Roadside Reapers, but now runs the Heart and Soul, a coffeehouse where he hosted local bands. The scent of coffee and pastries hit his senses and his stomach rebelled with a rumble.
A woman with dark hair and holding a clipboard came from the back room and Maverick followed close behind.
“I think we should as the band to come back next month,” the woman said. “They packed the house.”
“They have a great sound,” Maverick said then noticed Drake standing at the door. “Drake? Drake Tennyson?”
Drake’s lips curved and held out his arms. “In the flesh, man.”
Possible Blurb:
Eastyn has her soda shop to run and specialty ice creams to create. Only the place is falling apart, and she may have a haunted jukebox that chooses songs to communicate. If things couldn’t get any more complicated, Drake, her ex-fiancé, returns home after five years on the road with his rock band, Never Mind the Damage.
Eastyn vows not to fall for Drake’s charms again, but when you have a lifetime of memories with the man, the heart seems not to care about pledges. Her haunted jukebox believes choosing the right song to twirl and dip to is the answer to everything. However, Eastyn isn’t convinced. She wants to know if Drake is home for good, or will he break her heart all over again?

Oh, I like how you tied this in with your previous book! Obviously Drake is back in town, so now the inevitable reunion can happen. 😀
Oh nice to have the connection to the heart and soul 🙂
Nice tie in!! Old friends are the best kind (and old books are the best place to have them!).
OK, so that’s where he’s going, but what is he up to?
Great connection to the previous book! Always a winner with readers. Good to have a solid friend to turn to.
Enjoyed the snippet – it’s always a pleasure to watch your stories unspool!
I’m also wondering what he’s up to. Seems like he just ran away from his rock star life.
I’m enjoying watching how this plays out.
Enjoyed the excerpt and I like the idea of a haunted jukebox .
It is always good to have connections. And, like the others are saying, love the nod to previous work.
So is going to be part of a series set in Heart and Soul?
Perhaps Drake has changed his ways. I may have said this before, but I love the idea of a haunted jukebox!
I hope he gets the reception he’s anticipating.
Awesome tie in. what is he up too? I wonder if he’s going to put the band behind him and go solo as an artist at the shop?
Moving the story along nicely! 🙂
Oh my goodness, I have blurb envy. lol I like it–a lot!
