Jenna West has no idea what she might have done to her new tenant Mike Hightower. He's surly and hateful every single time they meet, and he looks at her as though he despises her.
He does despise her. She's from the Middle East, and people like her killed his friend Ramirez when the army sent them to Iraq.
Will the power of love work its magic to soften Mike's bitter hatred, or will he ignore his growing attraction for his pretty landlady?

This week:
I like his mother and I'm enjoying getting the backstory of how he ended up in the apartment. Great snippet! Very true to life conversation, I thought.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, that last line is a humdinger! I'm really liking this story.
ReplyDeleteA reader always feels what Elaine has written. So natural and believable.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what would happen if he came clean to his mom?
ReplyDeleteHe's getting pushed into a corner he can't find comfortable. But facing his prejudices will force him to confront his pain. A difficult situation.
ReplyDeleteI had wondered why he took the apartment since his prejudice was so virulent.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I get the feeling he's stuck with the apartment that has company he doesn't like.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he might have to swallow his prejudce and just take the appartment on offer!
ReplyDeleteHe should talk to his mom. Then she can whoop him up the side of his head. LOL
