Back to Hump Day Hook!

So sad to leave behind my Dominion Falls series after so many weeks with it.  Don’t worry, it will return from time to time (I won’t ever let them go).

But, very soon my Christmas offering, and the first in my Holidays in Lake Point series will be released. Santa, Maybe came about thanks to a submission call and critiquing a friend of mine’s story ([amazon_link id=”B00DNMRWDK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Ravenous[/amazon_link], check it out…so hot).  Blurb for this story will be below my hook.

Now, please meet Ivy and Alan.  Ivy is a former Prima Ballerina, and Alan is a big finance guy.  Once high school sweethearts turned on again-off again lovers…they haven’t seen each other since Ivy disappeared from Alan’s busy life completely eight years ago. In this scene, an old high school friend (Mary) has spotted Alan in the crowd at a Christmas celebration and cornered him.  She blindsides him with some unexpected information:

“Let me guess. You want to see Ivy?”

Ice rushed through his veins and he pinched his brows together. “I’m sorry. Did you say Ivy? You can’t mean Ivy Nowell.”

“Well who else would I mean?”

“But she’s in the city.” She had to be in the city. Last time he’d seen her had been eight years ago, but she’d still been at the peak of her career. Of course, shortly after that her name dropped off every program at her ballet company. …

Mary’s ponytail bobbed as she shook her head. “No, she’s not. Hasn’t been for about seven years. How could you not know that? When she returned without you, we assumed you’d split, maybe divorced.”

*To keep it short, I cut out a big portion of a paragraph.
