Book Hooks is a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers as part of the MFRW Authors Blog. It's a chance each week for you the reader to discover current WIP or previously published book by possibly new to you authors.
Today, I am showcasing a snippet from my hot billionaire
romance – Two Truths and a Lie from
the just released Lawbreakers box
set. Our heroine just stole a rare red diamond. The owner of the diamond has just confronted her and demanded to know where it was.
Innocent
look pasted on face, reply ready. "What diamond?" Brilliantly played.
"The
safe was closed when I left my office. You did this. You had no right to be in
there." He jerked his cell phone from an inside pocket. "I am calling
the police."
He
played right into my plan. I reacted like an overly dramatic, silent movie
star. I raised my hands in horror, which tossed the whiskey down the front of
Lord Pompous Idiot. I dropped the tray. It couldn't make a dramatic crash as
the hallway was carpeted. Darn. Then I edged myself back against the wall and
cowered like a frightened animal.
The
next few minutes were hysterical chaos as both men snapped questions at me. I
dug deep and pulled up some tears and let them stream down my cheeks as I
repeatedly mumbled, "I didn't do anything. I didn't take anything."
But
there was a fabulous Hallmark flash. A man stepped into the hallway, curiosity
etched on his face. It was him – Lover Boy. He was tall, dark-haired, and
scruffy or unshaven if you prefer. His tuxedo fit him like a second skin. There
was no rotundness like Lord Idiot or knock off anything like Mr. Chapman. The
man was pure sophistication. Out of the hundred or so guests, he was the only
one who had smiled at me when he requested a drink. That made him human and not
an arrogant robotron. And that made him sexy.
But,
sadly, he turned and I shifted my focus back to the howling banshees who still
snapped questions at me.
