The plot thickens, as the cliché goes. Joshua,
Arizona is buzzing with the news of a body found down in The Ravine. The bones
are twenty-five to thirty years old. That could mean the unsolved murder from
1990 might be related to the unidentified body. Could it be the body of the
teen who went missing? Or could the teen have been the murderer of both of them?
Will Magpie’s father be a suspect in two murders? I’ve dipped into all of these
questions.
As for the romance side of the book…
I hit the spot in my WIP (work in progress) when
it seems apparent the two main characters are not going to be able to keep
their hands off each other. Yes, the sex scene loomed. Every reader of romance
expects it and probably anticipates the moment the hero and heroine jump into
bed…or
“What do I do to you, Zack?”
Magpie ventured her first real smile of the evening. With his fingertips
sending a tickling sensation along her lower lip, she couldn’t help but enjoy
the moment.
He slipped his hand along her
jawline and under her hair to caress her neck, and the pleasant sensation his
fingertips caused traveled south.
“You make me a little crazy.”
His husky voice caressed her.
She leaned into him, set her
hands on his thighs, and brushed her mouth across his lips. His vanilla coffee
breath was sweet. His mouth warm and soft, yet firm.
He licked his lips, and his
breath came in short puffs. “You make me a lot
crazy, Magpie.” He blinked, his green eyes going dark emerald with emotion.
What
was she doing? She’d met this man only yesterday. “This…us…it’s crazy all right.” Her body didn’t care. Her
fingertips pressed into his jean clad legs.
Magpie and Zack got their moment…only they didn’t.
The timing was just too early.
This is a partial scene from Chapter Nine. I’m
now halfway through Chapter Eleven. Unfortunately, it’s not been a good month
for writing. Lots of personal events, including the upcoming holidays, have
created obstacles. I am, at least, just over the halfway mark of
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!
