Beyond the Book: Purple Heart

Today is my last excerpt from Purple Heart. If you've enjoyed the excerpts, you can find the book at http://amzn.to/2cuW4rw. 

We've seen how Mike felt about Jenna, and today we'll see a bit of her point of view. 

Blurb:
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?



Excerpt:
Jenna wondered what she had done to offend Mike Hightower. The man acted like a positive boor. He always spoke in a hateful tone of voice, and the expression on his face looked downright hostile. She wished that she had the option of waiting for a better tenant, but since she needed the money, she supposed he could have the apartment. What a shame that he seemed so unfriendly. Well, she’d treat him nicely anyway. As her mother always said, you could catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar.

Last Week:

He still wouldn’t pay her any attention. She stood and watched him as he walked down the sidewalk.

“Is the duplex still available, Ms. West?”

“Yes.”

“Well, if it’s okay I’d like to rent it.”

She nodded. “I have a child so no loud parties or noise after nine.” 

“Fine.”

“I’ll need a deposit.”
“How much?”

“Six hundred.”

This week: 

 Mike thought that she had overcharged him, but he had the money so he went ahead and paid it. “When can I move in?”

“Anytime. I’ll get you a key. Rent’s due on the first.” “Fine.”

He took his key and got out of there. She hadn’t asked him to sign a lease, so if he found something else he could move. Imagine! Ramirez had lost his life to people like Jenna West, and now he had to cope with them everyday. Why couldn’t they stay where they belonged?

Last Week:

Hmm. Not a bad idea. Seeing her had brought back terrible memories and made him miss Ramirez all over again. He could keep looking too. No law that said he had to stay in the duplex if he found something better.

After dinner, he told his parents what he had decided, and he drove to the duplex. As he parked his car on the side of the road, he spotted Jenna West on her knees planting some flowers. In spite of himself, he noticed the way her jeans hugged her bottom and revealed some nice curves. Huh! He’d known a few guys in the army who had fallen for local women, but it had always ended badly. Ms. West could strip naked in front of him for all he cared.

Last Week:

He liked the convenience of it, the rent was reasonable, and the place looked as if she had just remodeled it. It would suit him perfectly if not for the fact that she owned it.
He thought about it all during dinner. He had to do something soon because today was Friday, and he was supposed to start work on Monday. By the time they finished their dessert, he had made up his mind.

He didn’t like Ms. West, but he did like her duplex. He would go and see the woman, and if she hadn’t rented the place, he’d take it. He didn’t have to talk to her if he didn’t want to. In fact, if he wanted to he could even mail the rent check to her.
