Unchained
Melody
by Cynthia Roberts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Pamela Landers had it
all, a senior partnership with a top law firm, expensive car, and a luxurious
condo. What she desired most was a loving husband, children and a life filled
with precious memories that would comfort her through her golden years.
Funny how fate has a way of steering you down that path where dreams really can come true. When Pamela encounters Gavin Templeton along her journey, she has some life-altering decisions to make that eventually lead her to happily ever after.

EXCERPT ONE:
“Nice to
meet you, Mr. Templeton. I’ve been trying to get to Sugar Run for the past two
years, but …” she paused. “I just don’t know how to say no to my boss.”
He
chuckled and pointed her way.
“Well,
good for you. All work and no play … well, you know the rest.” He interjected.
Then she
thought. I’ll be damned. She knew that name. Everyone knew the Templeton name.
She was rather titillated by his attention. The Templeton’s, were quite known
in the Northeast. Not only was Sugar Run a rather luxurious five-star resort,
but his family had acquired over fifty acres of prime lakefront property and
started developing it into one of the most eloquent gated communities that
would offer luxurious 2-3-bedroom town homes, a 9-hole golf course, and private
country club.
The cleft
in his chin was more prominent when he smiled and it pleased her to know she
was the cause of the sparkle in his eyes.
“And,
please, call me Gavin.”
Her voice
shook a little. “Pamela Landers … my name, that is and, thank you for sharing
your table.”
The
waitress arrived, took both of their orders, and refilled their coffee cups.
“So, tell
me Pamela, what line of work occupies your every waking moment?”
“Law,”
she answered. “My niche is wrongful death.”
The look
that registered on his face made her wonder, if the legal field was something
he found distasteful. She did not know why, but she wanted his approval. His
opinion of her somehow mattered.
“Do you
ski, Gavin?”
“Not an
Olympic hopeful mind you, but I manage to make it to the bottom without
breaking my neck.”
Pamela
giggled.
His cell
phone went off and he excused himself, as he rose and moved from the table. He
was only gone for a matter of moments. When he returned to the table and
rejoined her, he asked the waitress to bring him the check right away.
Pamela
tried to hide her disappointment.
“Pressing
business?” She asked, trying to keep the disappointment from her voice.
Gavin’s
was evident as he sighed heavily. “I’m afraid so. There’s something I must
attend to in Ashbury that needs my attention.” He rose and handed the waitress
two twenty-dollar bills and told her to keep the change.
Pamela
shook her head and raised her hand to argue but, he waved it off.
“Please,
it was my pleasure to meet you.” His smile was warm and genuine. “Perhaps,
you’ll join me for a cocktail this evening. I’ll send a note to your room.”
Pamela
returned his smile. “Um, that would be nice,” she waved her finger at him,
“but, the drinks are on me or, it’s a no.”
Gavin
reached for her hand, and drew it to his lips, and stroked it tenderly with his
thumb. “How can I refuse? Until later this evening then.” He bowed slightly and
turned to exit.
Pamela
was exuberant as she watched him leave, appreciating how well the jeans he was
wearing fit around a rather nice tight ass and well-muscled thighs. Pamela
relaxed and played back their meeting in her mind. Talk about fate … it was all
rather unexpected and the immediate attraction she felt for him was even more
surprising. She looked down at the thick, crisp waffles on her plate and began
devouring them with a hunger that was as strong as her desire to meet up with
the dashing and charming owner of Sugar Run.

AUTHOR BIO:
My love of reading romance fiction goes back to those early years when I
was raising a young family. It wasn't until much later in life I actually took
up the pen to write my first historical romance, Wind Warrior. I really don't
fit into one specific niche. Once a story starts to flow, it's only then I know
what genre/sub-genre it will fit under.
I have only one regret, and that is not getting to this point in my career
much sooner, rather than later. Life has a way of setting up road blocks, which
for me, was supposed to work out that way. Because of those detours, I have
become a more passionate and expressive writer, allowing me to create the kind
of raw human emotion I want my readership to feel.
It is my hope you walk away with not just an entertaining read, but the
importance in knowing, "Without imagination & dreams, we lose the
excitement of wonderful possibilities."
