“Sam, did you just have
Will drive you home so he would pay for our take-out?” Jenna whispered, draping
her friend in a throw blanket.
“Yes,” Sam whispered back
without a hint of guilt. “And if you were a real friend, you would go over
there and spill something on him, so he would have to take off his shirt.”
“I'm starting to think
Chase was right. You are not that injured,” said Jenna.
Love & Treasure
In my upcoming novella, Love
and Treasure, I have two couples stumbling their way toward love. The main
couple, Chase and Jenna, know they’re attracted to each other but the events of
the story conspire to keep them apart.
But Samantha and Will are the bumbling side-kicks who haven’t quite
realized that they’re destined for each other. Originally, Will, the
straight-laced descendant of the town founder was intended to be the villain of
the piece. But as I wrote he won me over
with his goofiness and well-intentioned, but occasionally misguided, desire for
historical accuracy. (In case, you’re
wondering, I, like my hero pirate/stunt man/ restaurant owner Chase Regard, draw the line at historically accurate
bathrooms.)
For the most part, my characters do as they’re told. The bad guys set about their purpose with a
Shakespearean-like intention to block the heroes. And the heroines and heroes go about the
business of saving the day without too much complaint. However, every once in a while one of my
characters simply turns up with extra personality and tries to turn the ship. Sometimes I fight for control and other
times… Well, who am I to deny true love?
Will and Sam are clearly destined for each other and only the meanest
author would try to block that.
Love and Treasure is a modern day, stand-alone romantic comedy novella, reminiscent of the Gilmore Girls. If you like sword fights, treasure-filled caves, and laughs while a feisty heroine and rakish hero struggle to find their happily ever after, then you need Love and Treasure. Love and Treasure will be available 7/21/20. Learn more and pre-order:
