Snippet: WIP

He headed back up front, where he found Eastyn seated at the counter, waiting for him before she dug into her sandwich. He slid onto the stool next to her.

"I didn't know what chips you wanted," she said. "You used to like corn chips."

"Still do," he told her and tore open the bag, dumping the chips onto his plate. He reached for the grilled sandwich with the bread fried to a golden brown. He bit into the cheesy goodness and closed his eyes. Summer days and moments with Eastyn, and all of it flooded his memories of home. He took another bite and another. Neither spoke, but the whole time, he was itching to ask her a million questions.

(A few more sentences)

Like, did she have a boyfriend because if she did, that would put a kink in his plans to woo her? Well, it wouldn't be easy anyway. 

She must have had a few questions for him, and they both spoke at the same time, making them chuckled, which broke the tension.

Possible Blurb:

Eastyn has her soda shop to run and specialty ice creams to create. Only the place is falling apart, and she may have a haunted jukebox that chooses songs to communicate. If things couldn't get any more complicated, Drake, her ex-fiancé, returns home after five years on the road with his rock band, Never Mind the Damage.

Eastyn vows not to fall for Drake's charms again, but when you have a lifetime of memories with the man, the heart seems not to care about pledges. Her haunted jukebox believes choosing the right song to twirl and dip to is the answer to everything. However, Eastyn isn't convinced. She wants to know if Drake is home for good, or will he break her heart all over again?

Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.

Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.
