So, since THE VOICES OF ANGELS re-released yesterday, I figured I’d give you a little teaser into the story if you haven’t already read it.
Mike stared up at the house, liking the white clapboard Vic- torian design, and the solid, sturdy way it stared right back down at him as if saying, I’ve been here longer than you and seen things in life of which you can only dream.
Secure. Able to withstand whatever was thrown at it. A house rooted in strength, built on stability, roofed with resilience and balance.
Much like the woman he found himself thinking of non-stop.
After Carly left the gallery the night before, he’d wanted to run after her and explain about Cassandra. The timing and the situation, though, prevented him. Cassandra was capable of causing an emotional display, which would have ruined Serena MacQuire’s event. Mike had witnessed numerous of her public tantrums during their few months together and was loathe to be embroiled in another one.
No, speaking privately with Carly was the better option all around.
Every time Carly’s hurt and confused face came to mind, Mike swore, fingers itching to hit something. What must she think, making his desire so blatant for her, while Cas- sandra gave everyone the impression they were still lovers? What woman wouldn’t be upset and angry if she believed the man pursuing her was involved with another? Of course, she wouldn’t answer his call. Why should she? To her eyes, his intentions must appear suspect and despicable.
He wished Cassandra had never shown up at the opening. She possessed an amazing ability to be where she could do the most damage, almost as if she’d planned it.
He took a deep breath, tried to put it out of his head, and concentrated on the reason he was standing outside this magnificent home.
Using the antique brass knocker in the shape of a pineapple on the door, he announced himself. Serena’s face broke into a wicked grin when she answered.
“I knew you’d come.”
The tension left him immediately. His smile was as fast and filled with good-natured humor as hers. “Yeah, I imagine you did.”
