WEEKEND DIRTY DOZEN 2/24-2/26


Okay I thought I'd change it up this weekend and pull something from my latest accepted manuscript, Echoes in Eternity. In this scene, the heroine (Layla) is spending time with the older brother for the first time. They are in Cairo, at a restaurant, and dancing after finishing dinner.


TAGLINE: A Life Lived in the Past, A Present Life Lived in a Lie, One Woman in Love With Two Men, A Destiny Fulfilled for Eternity



Without a word uttered, Layla rose from the chair and walked with him to the dance floor.
Ronan pulled her close holding one hand and putting his other arm around her waist. She felt the warmth of his body as her heartbeat sped up. They moved around the parquet slowly, swaying to the beat of the music. Layla realized more existed between them than the accidental brushing of hands at the table. Chemistry. Embraced in his arms, she realized they fit well together. A definite attraction flowed between them, and she sensed he felt the electricity too. The sensation seemed familiar, like the time spent with Jake in Paris walking the along the Champs Élysées. Things were getting out of control. Attracted to two men, who were brothers, could be a volatile situation. Each had a sensuality that appealed to her in different ways and the mystery about each of them fascinated her as well.
