The story was born as a picture prompt on Tuesday Tales blog, which is a great place for writers to experiment with writing prompts.
Romance author Claire Jenkins
thought the Hawaii Writer’s Conference would be the perfect break she needed. A
chance to hang out with her writing buddies, maybe take a workshop and explore Hawaii.
She didn't dream she’d walk in on a murder scene involving Hawaii’s most famous
honeymooners, wind up as the guest of the suspect or pretend to be the
girlfriend of her handsomely sexy writing partner, bestselling thriller author
Sam Stewart.
Sam’s got his hands full trying
to keep Claire safe and figure out if their host, the newlywed architect, Dan
Harris, is indeed a murderer. His job just got even more difficult as he and
Claire pose as a couple. Sam has to protect Claire without smothering her or
risk ruining their professional relationship. Will it be too tempting for the
both of them to act on the attraction they share, or will they give in to their
feelings, throw caution to the island breeze and begin a new chapter in their
lives?
