Encore
Her rock star is waiting in
the wings, but will he get a second chance?
It’s all change for Sophie Jones—only this time, there is
more at stake than just her happiness.
Rock star extraordinaire, Dan Hunter, has been her patient
and caring friend through the highs and lows since her wedding day, but now he
figures it is time for her to start over. By stealth, the rock singer draws
Sophie into the behind-the-scenes work for his band’s latest album. Through the
days and weeks spent together at the mixing desk, Sophie discovers whole new
horizons for her life, yet before she can even begin to explore them, she faces
the very real threat of losing her rock star for good.
Join Sophie and Dan in Sophie’s
Encore to find out how their journey will end…
Whoa! What do you
make of this? And to intrigue you further, Nicky has shared this excerpt of
Sophie’s Encore:
Sophie’s
Encore: Excerpt
My bedroom door opened slowly and Dan crept in. All thought of sleep
forgotten, I flicked the light back on and was met by an astonishing sight.
There was Dan, the rock star, legend for his antics on and off stage, clad in a
demure pair of checked pajamas with a button-up top and a mismatched, stripy
dressing gown. His feet were stuffed into fluffy slippers, and he clutched a
bottle and two glasses in his hands.
“Come on,” he whispered. “Dinner is served.”
I giggled and left my bed, grabbing my own stripy dressing gown and a
pair of thick socks.
“What are you doing?” I breathed into his ear, but he simply took my hand
and pulled me down the dark corridor toward the open-plan lounge.
“Have a seat,” he invited me and gestured at the dining table, which was
once again laid, although only for two, complete with candles and napkins.
He set down the bottle and glasses and scurried off to shut the lounge
door. While he busied himself in the kitchen, I basked in the heat from the
fire which Dan had re-stoked, and observed my rock star with some degree of
amusement.
Within a few minutes, he brought a dish of smoked salmon bites to the
table, followed by olive bread, a cheese board, various cold meats, olives,
pickled anchovies, and prawns with some sort of aioli dip. He popped the cork
on the bottle of champagne, poured two glasses, and sat down, satisfied at
last.
“Now we can eat,” he announced.
“Tapas. What do you think?”
I raised my glass. “Cheers,” I giggled. “So that’s what you meant
earlier. I think it’s amazing. It’s like a midnight feast. I’m just waiting for
matron to discover us and give us detention. Why all the secrecy?”
Dan speared a prawn and pointed it at me. “Well, for one, as you say,
matron will certainly come and give us detention. Peter is very strict on my
sleep regimen, you see.” He dipped the prawn into the aioli before popping it
into his mouth. The beatific look on his face and his scrunched up eyes
suggested he was enjoying this humble treat far more than was warranted.
He swallowed and cleared his throat. “And for another, I’m on a strict
diet. Every last bit of cheese gets weighed, the carbohydrates counted, the
sugar added up. It’s really tedious.” He grimaced.
I helped myself to some bread and salmon. “Tedious indeed, I can see
that. But why? I thought you were
supposed to eat lots and get better.” I chewed greedily, my tummy having given
an impressive rumble.
Dan speared another prawn and added a mountain of cheese and bread to his
place. “Bliss,” he murmured before explaining further. “I’m supposed to eat healthy, not lots. So Peter has taken it
upon himself to reform the bad eating habits of a lifetime. Bless him, it’s
what he’s paid to do. I’ve been going along with it, and I have to admit, I’m
feeling pretty good. But…”
He grinned his school-boy grin, took a big mouthful of food, washed it
down with a large gulp of champagne, and finished his thought. “Well, it gets
boring. And I wanted to do something special with you. On my own.”
I burst out laughing, but quieted down when I saw the alarm on Dan’s
face.
“Sorry,” I whispered.
“Peter’s bedroom is right next door there,” Dan whispered back. “And he’s
a light sleeper.” He pointed his finger, and we sat in silence for a minute,
straining to hear.
“I think we’re okay,” Dan finally concluded and resumed eating.
I giggled softly. “Naughty, naughty, us.”
“Ha, we’re not naughty yet,” Dan shot back, speaking softly as well. “I
was working up to that part.”
He winked, and my heart skipped and jumped. He didn’t mean—he couldn’t
mean what I thought he meant?
“What do you mean?” I bumbled, hoping for clarification, but Dan was
enjoying himself.
“All in good time,” he teased. “Let’s finish our meal first.”
