Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new 'rock star romance' that I'm working on. It's in the very early stages.
Last week: Maverick told Rowan about his fallout with the band.
Maverick's POV. Rowan is speaking first.
***
"I can imagine." She glanced at him with a tilt of her head. "So does that mean you don't drink alcohol?"
"I like to be in control, so I drink responsibly."
She lifted her cup to him in a salute. "Good for you."
The sparkle in Rowan's eyes had him mesmerized until Katie broke the spell with her next words, which he could bet she purposely did to keep him in check.
"If you're both finished with your coffee break, I'd like to put up the Halloween decorations I bought. I could use some help bringing them in." She jabbed her thumb toward the door and added, "They're out in the car."

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul...
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

Way to break the moment Katie! Cute snippet!
She was doing it for good reasons.:)
I feel sorry for them that Katie decided to shift gears and interrupt this promising discussion. Enjoyed the snippet!
Veronica,
Katie had good intentions. Maverick is Rowan’s boss…
He likes to be in control, but Rowan breaks through his barriers without trying. Good interruption!
Aurora,
I’m so glad you like it!
Way to go just when he thought he had a chance. Terrific snip.
Charmaine,
He’ll have other chances, I promise. 🙂
I like how effortlessly she brings the topic back to something more pleasant and mundane.
Carrie-Anne,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Argh! Just when things were getting . . . involved. Nice tease, Karen.
Nancy,
So glad you liked it.
Finding a way to honestly praise him is a great antidote to the harsh memories of the band’s breakup.
Ed,
She thought so too. 🙂
That put a damper on the conversation. Is Katie jealous?
Katie had good intentions. Maverick is the boss. He probably shouldn’t start something with his employee. Katie is only looking after him. 🙂
Needs help bringing in Halloween decorations? What did she buy? A coffin? She’d better legitimately have a car full of goodies or her “rescue” isn’t going to hold water.
Nice teaser. I’m sure (or should I say hope 🙂 ) he’ll get another chance.
