Another Hump Day Hook! Once again I’m bringing Jane Doe to the party – but this time I’m responding to a request to see a paragraph from book 2 in the series, Derailed. As I don’t have a cover yet, you get my Changing Tracks cover.
This is the opening lines of Chapter 2 in Derailed. Jane and Cole are much relaxed in their room:
“I was sixteen.”
Jane grew completely still, the finger that had been dancing along his chest froze in place. Cole never spoke about anything beyond his years in Dominion Falls. For a moment she wondered if she should let him go on.

What!? That’s it!? That’s all your going to give me!? So waiting for book two! Sighhhhhh 😉
LOL! Yup, Angela…that’s all you get. Hump Day Hook is just a paragraph at a time, after all 😉 You just have a few more months until book 2. 😉
Oh?? What is that about? I want more. I felt the tension.
🙂 I’m glad I made you want more. It’s the first time the hero reveals much of his damaged past (it was hinted at in book 1)…and it has a huge impact on what is soon to happen with the H/h. 😉
Great hook. I’m curious about his past and the relationship that is finally letting him share it.
Dominion Falls seems to have been a turning point in Cole’s life. I’m frozen, waiting for more too. Great hook!
A fabulous hook! What happened when he was sixteen??
Ok, that was way too short of a hook! Nice one!
Ooh, very tense! I look forward to more.
Very smooth. Nice hook!
Wow, what a cliffhanger. Nice job 🙂
Oh, I want to know more. What a hook.
Sixteen, eh? That’s young to be traumatised. Great hook.
I was sixteen and…? Ah, you are killing me. I want to know his past. Great hook!
You can’t stop there! I want moruch more LOL
Gawd! You stopped there? Bad bad Sarah!
I want to know more about his past and how it formed his present. Nice hook!
