I have to apologize to all the Laid To Rest fans, but I made a change this week. I have plucked a few sentences from a contemporary romance I'm working on called The Baby Doctor. The hero, Aaron hopes to adopt an abandoned baby. The heroine, Jamie, is the baby's aunt and his nemsis.
"Before my sister died, I promised her I would raise her son as my own."
Jamie's words ricocheted through his heart. Aaron shoved away from Elaine's desk. He wanted out of this room. Away from the silly rainbows on the wall and their empty promises of sunny days, dreams come true and happiness forever.
From first hand experience, he knew reality was hard, cold and painful.

Interesting premise...you are multi-talented! :)
I miss Laid to Rest but these are a great six too! Strong voice for Aaron.
Great snippet, Patricia! This makes me want to read more.
I see a 'hook up' coming later. I hope I'm right!
I'm with Graylin. I can see a connection already happening.
A completely different voice for this one. Can really feel Aaron's heartache. Like this one a lot!
Also, your web site is great! Is it new? Or is it that I just always show up at the blog? LOL!
Taryn, the website been up for a while. You just show up at the blog.
I can feel his resignation but there's that thread of hope. Would love to see what comes next!
Rainbows and sunshine can be so heartbreaking!

Great tension and drama. More to come, I hope
Looking forward to more. Great job.
Wow, I really feel for him. Fabulous dramatic tension.
Good scene-setting and characterization!
You have such a great voice! I see trouble for Aaron in the shape of Jamie already. He hasn't got a chance.
I love this set up and I want to read more. Great six!
Love that the man is the one trying to adopt. Great idea and great six.
As the others have said, I love the premise! Interested to see how things pan out.... :)
Aww poor Aaron, sounds like he's got a lot to come to deal with! Love this six, Patricia xx
Intriguing six. Love to see how it turns out.
Great emotion. Well done with your six.
Best,
Allure
Vivid, Patricia and an interesting premise.
Aaron has some emotions he needs to work out. Hopefully someone (Jamie?)can help!
Love the room description and all its promises. How DO you do it? Switch your voice so successfully from one story to the next? I do hope we see more of those hilarious Laid to Rest characters again, though... :)
What a change from the other story but still just as engaging. I think I love Aaron a little bit already.
Some really good emotion here. I feel for him already.
