Another six-sentence excerpt from my 2011 release of 'His Leading Lady' with the first meeting between Jess and Kyle. This is a continuation from last week when Jess told Kyle she had no idea where her sister Lora was.
“I’ll have to take your word for that,” Kyle growled. “If she contacts you, find out where she is and call me.” He withdrew something from the back pocket of his jeans and handed it to her.
Jess glanced briefly at the expensive-looking embossed card. Again he had irritated her with his curt order and she fought back the temptation to click her heels and salute.
“If Lora contacts me, then I will ask her to call you,” she replied coolly.
