The middle of the book panic
SoI was about halfway through the writing of this book when I realized it justwasn't working. I liked the hero justfine, in fact Damien was perfectly dreamy! But the heroine was just all wrong. Too strong, almost, too forceful, too red (I'm a visual writer so thatmakes perfect sense to me ;)). They werefighting against one another instead of falling towards one another. And something had to be done.
SoI made the big – and scary! – decision to start again. With a whole new heroine. Was a big risk. But I reckon it paid off. My big scary heroine was replaced byChelsea, a serious girl with a plan and a past and the sparks just flew! Lucky girl. (And if you want to know what "colour" she is to me, come back next week for more!Til then, I give you – Chelsea and Damien.
The excerpt:
Chelseawatched as the fiftieth dark suit in eight minutes rounded the corner.But thisone was a half head taller. A couple ofinches broader. Dark hair gleamed underthe created lamplight. And the length ofhis strides meant that people simply got out of his way. She wasn't sure it was Damien, but at thesame time she just knew that it was.Heneared. He was even more beautiful thanshe remembered. More blessed by the godsof all things extraordinary. Through thenoisy crowd their eyes caught and held. Pacific blue, she thought with aninternal sigh, like the ocean at night.'HiDamien,' she said.'Chelsea,'he said as he stopped in front of her.She musthave swayed towards him, or maybe it was an optical illusion, but he suddenlyfelt closer. And then he was leaning intowards her. She instinctively liftedher cheek for a friendly peck, but instead his lips landed square uponhers. She blinked in shock for a goodsecond or two before his mouth began to move over hers.As hereyes flittered closed her hand fluttered up to land gently upon his chest. His arm slunk around her back to pull hercloser. And right there, in front of astreet full of bustling pedestrians, everything floated away, leaving only thetaste of him, the scent of him, the feel of his heavenly lips. Her hand curled into his shirt, and she hopedagainst hope that would be enough to keep her from collapsing in a puddle athis feet.
When thekiss broke her eyes opened. A smallsmile lit his, creases fanning out from the edges.'Well whatdo you know,' he said, his voice low, rumbling, pure sensuality.
