I've been sharing excerpts from Return Engagement. To recap, my hero and heroine have met accidentally on a beach ten years after his father broke them up. In today's excerpt, my hero displays great self-confidence.



“Have dinner with me tonight,” he urged. “We have ten years of catching up to do.”

Elizabeth felt a flicker of unease; she shouldn’t accept his invitation. Her heart belonged to a wonderful man, a man she didn’t want to hurt by going out with Richard. Richard belonged to her past, and that’s where he needed to stay; in the past. No good could come of a dinner date now. For a split second she  hesitated. “I’d love to have dinner with you."

    To use your words...

    She shouldn't, but she did. No good is going to come of this!

    I love her inner struggle and then she doesn't listen to herself ... well done.

    I don't think he's staying in the past now. Great snippet, Elaine. :)

    Hmm. Trouble's afoot. She's not going for dinner because she's hungry for food. Really. Now I'm worried. Good eight.

    That one dinner seems like it'll become a lot more complicated than expected!

    Oh that moment when the head gives you all the reason to not do something and you go and do it anyway. Nice!
