Many thanks for all your
comments each week. I really appreciate them!
This week I’m continuing Neve’s
second meeting with Ross McAllister, after she's discovered he really is the renowned archaeologist.
“Professor McAllister—”
“Call me Ross.”
“Er—Ross—I really must apologise
if I said anything yesterday—”
“You didn’t need to.” His dark eyes twinkled as he smiled. “You have a very bad poker face, you know, because I could read the scepticism in those green eyes of yours."
“You didn’t need to.” His dark eyes twinkled as he smiled. “You have a very bad poker face, you know, because I could read the scepticism in those green eyes of yours."
Nor is she ready to meet Ross McAllister, a compelling and fascinating archaeologist.She struggles against her growing attraction to him until she can no longer ignore what her heart is telling her. This is the man who sets her soul on fire.
When she starts receiving cryptic messages, and Ross’s work in the famous Valley of the Kings is threatened, Neve has to make a heart-breaking and life-changing decision which she feels is her only option.
Can they discover whose enmity is forcing them apart before it’s too late?
‘Her Only Option’ is available from Whiskey Creek Press and from Amazon, as e-book or paperback.
One reader has said: "Her Only Option" is a wonderful book! It has everything one desires in a love story: Romance, mystery/intrigue, history, set in an exotic location.”

Oh, I wonder how that makes her feel, that he can read her so well. Great six! :)
ReplyDeleteThey already seem like a very cute couple. It's a cute scene, Paula, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHe loves pushing her buttons, doesn't he? I wonder how she'll react to his comment about her eyes? Great 6.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I'm dying to know what she said :) I'm going to have to catch up on your previous posts.
ReplyDeleteOkay, what did she say? I guess I have some catch-up reading to do!
ReplyDeleteJessica - she's still mortified!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess - they do make a good couple!
Clare - he's got the measure of her already.
Corinne and Tonya - you can read the first chapter on Amazon!
It's annoying when you realize you don't have a poker face LOL! This was a fun continuation, can't wait to read the book!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, he's got her number. This just gets better and better. Well done. Paula.
ReplyDeleteWell, he's certainly paying attention to her!
ReplyDeleteCute 6, love what this reveals!
ReplyDeleteOh, he's called her out. Very nicely done, Paula.
ReplyDeleteNice six, Paula. I love books about archaeology.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a tricky situation she's got herself into.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the big guy is coming on. What fun and we're off on an adventure! Lovely six.
ReplyDeleteVeronica - embarrassing for her to realise her face had given her away!
ReplyDeleteS.J. - thanks, and yes, he knows how to make her squirm.
Sue - he's already intrigued by her!
Angela - thanks!
Kate - he's enjoying the moment!
Elin - you should enjoy this one then, as there's a lot about Ross's achaeological work in the Pharaoh's tomb.
Stevie - he's going to let her off lightly, mainly because he knows he upset her when they first met!
Charmaine - yes,the adventure is about to take off!
ReplyDeleteHe's noticed her eye color has he? That's a start!
ReplyDeleteEgypt must be hot now (no pun intended). This is the second snippet today I've read with that setting. I've been there and it's a fascinating country!
ReplyDeleteHe's being very direct, isn't he? And observant. Nice exchange!
Sweet scene. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHmm we'll be in Egypt in Jan. I'll look for Ross...
ReplyDeleteTaryn - he thinks she's Egyptian, and so green eyes would be unusual.
ReplyDeleteJenna - he always says what he thinks! And yes, Egypt is so fascinating.
Cara - thanks!
Sue - I envy you your trip to Egypt, but hope the current unrest there calms down for you. And hands off Ross - I saw him first :-) Hope you'll take the book to read while you're there!
So he's a nice man after all! Good to know. Great six!
ReplyDeleteSarah - he's one gorgeous man, I'm still in love with him!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Love that he calls her on her reaction... and that he's noticed her eye colour!
ReplyDeleteLorraine - he's a sucker for eyes!
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a great character!
ReplyDeleteThis story sounds wonderfully sweet. Very nice post!

ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm so sorry about deleting that last comment. I signed into Blogger under the wrong email address. LOL. Oops! :)
Gemma - he's one of my favourites!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dianne.
Stephanie - I have no idea where the name Neve came from - it just popped into my mind when I first started thiking about the story!
LOL, I can't tell if he's flirting or just trying to put her in her place. Great six, Paula. :)
ReplyDeleteSiobhan - maybe a bit of both? :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved Her only Option, Paula - have been offline for a little while, so unable to access your blog till today. Great read - strong characters and - above all, to me, a VERY authentic setting :-) One problem - wish I was there!! Seriously, though, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
Karla
