This week's Wednesday Wonders features
Looking for Love
The Album Book 1 -
Ella’s Story
By Kathy Bosman
Blurb:
When Ella Haviland
inherits a magic antique photo album that reveals the future of potential
couples, she starts a part-time matchmaking business with the help of her three
best friends. It's always been her dream to help people find love. But finding
true love herself isn't in her plans — even when her best guy friend Ross
confesses he's fallen for her. Friendship and love equals recipe for disaster
in her mind.
Ross Mitchell is
devastated that Ella doesn't want more from their relationship. He withdraws
... but maybe he should play along when Ella tries to matchmake him with a
friend, just to make her jealous. He will do anything to make her notice him.
Through a series of
adventures and happenings, Ella discovers that maybe The Album brings more than
love and magic into the lives of the people it touches. But can she find true
love herself, or is there too much holding her back?
Excerpt:
“We’re
so similar, it’s scary.”
He
stroked her cheek. “It’s nice.”
“You’re
nice.”
Close
up, he really had the best face in the world—a face that brought her the most
comfort.
He
bent toward her until his lips touched hers, only a brush. She jerked back.
“No, Ross.”
What just happened? Did I give him
the impression I…?
“Ella,
I…” He moved forward again as though she hadn’t just said no.
“Ross,
please.” She stopped him on the chest with her palm, closing her eyes to block
out the sight of his mouth close to her. “Leave the kissing out of it. We’re
friends. We’ve never had anything romantic.”
“I
can’t see why not.”
“Do
you have feelings for me?” She opened her eyes as the ache in her chest
expanded again. She didn’t know how she would handle it if he did.
“I
don’t know. I care about you. You just looked kissable. I wasn’t thinking. I’m
sorry.”
“Okay,
you scared me there. The last thing I want is another boyfriend. I’ve had my
fill of relationships for a century.” She rolled her eyes. Although her tone
came out light-hearted, the fear he’d want more had paralysed her for a second.
She could have lost everything—except her besties and new job—in one week.
Ross
nodded. “I can relate to that.”
“I
seem to keep on attracting the wrong guys, or rather ones who don’t understand
me.”
He
patted her on the knee, once again his normal, kind self. “One day, you’ll find
someone.”
“Yeah,
one day. But not today. For now, I’m concentrating on building a life for
myself. We’re still friends, right?” She’d hate to lose her precious friendship
because of an attempted kiss.
“Of
course. We’ll always be friends. My partner in crime.” He knocked his knuckles
against her fist in a fun gesture. Phew, he didn’t seem at all offended at her
pushing him away romantically. Truly a saint, he was.
About the Author:
Kathy
lives in South Africa, where the summers are hot, the winters cool and bugs
thrive. She writes romance in many forms, most of the time with women who feel
deeply, men who care strongly and characters who learn lessons along the way.
Every so often, she sprinkles a little magic in her stories. When she’s not
writing, she makes sure her kids work hard as they do school at home, tries not
to get too distracted by dust bunnies and cooks up a storm to keep the tummies
full. When she’s not hectically busy, she loves reading romance and fantasy
novels, watching movies, and dabbling in different crafty things, depending on
her mood.
