Saturday Sample: Fortuna

Welcome to Saturday Sample. For the last few weeks we've been reading excerpts from my romantic comedy Fortuna, which is based on antics my family and I got into. Except for the witness protection thing. We never had to do that. If you'd like to read last Saturday's excerpt, go to http://elainepcantrell.blogspot.com/2016/08/saturday-sample-fortuna_20.html

First a blurb, then an excerpt.

Aimee Sherwood never dreamed that following her fiancé into the witness protection pro-gram would land her in a haunted house in a town that’s downright creepy. She’d have laughed if she had been told the guy who lives down the road might be her soul mate, not the man whose ring she’s wearing. Life in West Virginia is nothing like life in Los Angeles, but between bean ball battles with Marilyn Monroe, remodeling a crumbling farmhouse, and starting a new online business, life in the country is anything but boring.

Blurb:

Last week Rocky was on his way to the wrestling ring in a major auditorium. Aimee has a part in his pre-match show. We pick up today at the point where they've reached the ring.

Excerpt:

With the focus off her, Aimee relaxed a little. Thank goodness nobody’s staring at me now. I hate the outfits Rocky wants me to wear. ‘Your clothes are a part of my stage personality,’ he said. He wants me to look like a party girl.

She glared at the dress. It was made of spandex covered in electric blue sequins and was so short it was dangerous to sit down. Not only that, her boobs would probably fall out of the bodice any time now. The horrible dress had been designed to push up the assets.

Cade McCoy, whose hair was a greasy-looking, dirty blonde that reached his shoulders, threw off his hat and black leather vest and shouted something to Rocky, who ignored him. The barrage of noise intensified as Cade flexed his muscles at the screaming fans. Aimee clapped her hands to her ears to protect them even though it would annoy Rich. She’d be deaf before this debacle finally ended.
