FEARLESS FRIDAY
Please join me in welcoming my guest, Angela Hayes!
Something
rash, life changing. These four little words haunted me as I tried to figure
out how I was going to write this post.
I didn’t think the words rash and
life changing could be used to describe myself. I’m a leo and as I continue to
age, I find myself pretty set in my ways. I like routine, the comfort of
knowing each day what I’m going to do and the order I’m going to do it in. I have
a high tendency to use the same phrases over and over and do my best to fly
below the radar. Boring, right!
But the more I thought about this, I
came to realize that there was a time when I did something rash and life
changing. I eloped! Surpise!!!
Six months after I met a boy, while
working at a fast food chain, we high tailed it to the courthouse and forty
dollars later, voila, a married couple.
Guess it’s working out though. Two
kids and one battle with cancer later, we’re looking forward to celebrating our
fourteenth wedding anniversary this September. Pretty rash and life changing if
I say so myself. How’s that for fearless!
BLURB
Love Howard has more than a knack for matchmaking. Born from a forbidden
passion and a twelve-hundred-year-old promise, she and her sisters can
literally see true love. And while Love has no problem bringing other couples
together, her own romantic life could use a little help.
Danton DeAngelo has always been well grounded in reality. So it throws him
for no small loop when the woman he’s fallen for believes that she’s been
reincarnated eleven times and can actually see true love.
Now Danton is faced with the biggest decision of his life. Accept Love for
who she really is, or walk away from her forever.
EXCERPT
“That
was close,” I breathed when we were outside, an entire building between myself
and the best man.
“It’s
about to get even closer.” Faith smiled, making me instantly wary. I knew what
was coming. She’d seen it. They both had.
“What
do you mean?” I asked, playing dumb.
“Look
at him again, and you tell us,” Hope challenged.
Dutifully
I opened the door. Keeping to the shadows, I stepped inside, just enough to get
another look at Danton DeAngelo. There he was laughing with his friends, what a
beautiful sight. Male perfection bathed in the same powder blue light that all
souls gave off when they were destined to be together. Blowing out a breath, I
closed the door and faced my sisters.
“He’s
blue.”
“He’s
not the only one, honey.” Hope smiled, holding out a compact mirror she had
pulled from her purse.
Snatching
it from her, I peered into the reflecting glass. There was my image, the one
I’d spent twenty five years looking at, the one I saw mirrored in the face of
my sisters. Except, unlike yesterday, I could now see a telltale blue glow
around my face. Faint at first but growing stronger with every second. Closing
the compact I could see the glow encompassing my hands. I looked down and
around. Like a bad rash, it was all over me.
“I’m
blue!” I declared, pointing out the obvious.
“True
blue, true love. YOU are the future Mrs.Danton DeAngelo.” Hope gloated taking
her compact back.
“Ah damn!” I whined.
