Excerpt –

Wendy’s sleep was restless so she allowed herself to sleep late the next morning. It was Saturday and she’d made tentative plans to meet Chloe for brunch and shopping but she was in the mood for neither.

Damn it, why was she still thinking about him? She’d probably never see the man again. She didn’t even know his last name and she doubted he frequented dance clubs. Why did that sink her mood even lower? She’d never be able to dance with him.

Why had he been staring at her?  Clearly he hadn’t want to talk.  Had she made a fool of herself on the dance floor? Her skirt was short, but others had been shorter. Maybe it was her hair.  She’d always known people noticed redheads.

Wendy wondered what had happened to him.  But what did it matter? She was an idiot and needed to get her act together.

When she finally connected with Chloe, her first question was. “What was the name of that guy that Cheryl was dating?

“Gary, wasn’t it? He was at the club last night. I’m sure I spotted him.”

“Yes, Gary. Know his last name?”

Chloe shook her head. “You interested?”

“No, but he left with a guy I’d like to see again.”

“Girl, if you didn’t meet him last night, he’s not worth meeting. You were hot last night.”

“Did I make a fool of myself?”

“What? No! Did something happen?”

Wendy shook her head. “The guy Gary was with didn’t seem that impressed.”

“His loss.” Chloe sniffed and Wendy smiled, but it was halfhearted. Why did she think it was her loss?

About Donna Steele

Women strong enough for love. I write about strong women in lots of areas - science fiction, paranormal and contemporary fiction romance - women coming into their strength and having the courage to find and accept love. As an empty nester with my beloved best friend and husband (who actually encourages this mad passion of mine) I write all the time – whether or not I have a pen or keyboard handy. Ever since I learned to read—from Superman Comics, Dick, Jane and Sally held no appeal—I’ve wanted to write. The possibilities of science fiction have always drawn me and I’ve read them all. There just needed to be a little more romance in them. I finally got up the courage and I’m delighted that I’m able to share these stories with you. My small town romance novels - Homecoming, Welcome Home, Red Shoes, Nowhere for Christmas, Christmas Present and Dance Partner are available at all eBook vendors. My paranormal romance eBooks Learning Trust, The Melting Series, and Wraith's Heart are now available at all eBook sellers. Wraith's Heart and Learning Trust are now also available in paperback through Amazon. I’m a member of Romance Writers of American, the Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal Chapter of RWA and the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers. www.steelestories.com https://www.facebook.com/DonnaSteeleAuthor http://goo.gl/dH6PAA
