I thought I would begin posting a few favorite moments from my books. It's not always easy to get a real feel for a book merely from a blurb, so I will be posting a series of short scenes or 'moments' from my novels that I am particularly fond of.
This is a moment from The Curious Curate and the Opera Singer when Amelie and Aiden first meet. She is being pursued by an ardent admirer and has taken refuge in a stable:
The sound of the main stable door creaking open secured her
attention. Quickly grasping her whip firmly in her hand she ducked down behind
the closed half-door to Calliope’s stall out of view. If that odious man had
followed her here after all…
“Hello?” a masculine voice called.
“Go away, I have no intention of becoming your mistress!”
she called out.
A cultured and slightly amused voice answered her. “Indeed,
madam! I am not currently seeking one!”
With her whip held aloft in readiness, Amelie popped her head above the half-door to see who the man was and gasped in mortification. A vicar.
