I’m really pleased that my new indie release The Better Man is available on Kindle! Only 2.99. It was previously released by Still Moments Publishing, but now I’ve self published it with a beautiful new cover.
Today I’m going to do a Hump Day Hook with The Better Man. Hope you enjoy!
BLURB:
Lorelei Warren is facing every bride’s nightmare; she’s been left at the altar with nothing but a Dear Jane letter from the cheating groom, and a church full of friends and family. Will Draper, her best friend and the best man is there to pick up the pieces. He’s been in love with Lorelei for years and he can’t resist her. Now Lori has to decide what direction her life will head, especially when it comes to Will. Can she risk losing his friendship or is what she feels for Will worth pursuing?
HOOK:
“He doesn’t deserve you anyway. You deserve to be appreciated and loved for the beautiful woman you are.”
“You’re just being nice, Will, but thank you.”
Lori finished the rest of the coffee, put the mug on the table, and got up. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek then disappeared into the bathroom. Will pushed his fingers through his hair. He didn’t think he was doing her any good whatsoever. Maybe he should’ve had Connie or one of the other bridesmaids bring Lori up here. They wouldn’t have had any problems cussing Brian out, trashing him for the bastard he was, and Lori would’ve joined in. It didn’t seem quite right for him to be doing the same thing, though, no matter how much he agreed with the sentiments.
He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and opened it. As he started to scroll through the numbers to find Connie’s, movement caught his eye. He glanced up to find Lori had returned.
“Oh, my God,” he choked, though his breath had been knocked right out of his body.

I’m guessing she didn’t change into an oversized jogging suit?! Love his conflict at being there in the first place. Great hook.
Great hook, well done!
She’s naked, isn’t she? Omg, how could you stop there?!? Awesome hook!
So….naked or holding an axe? A bride left at the altar could really go either way…
I want to know what he’s seeing. Great hook!
well I didn’t think of an axe… naked or not? I pictured sexy lingerie
