A Novella by Emma Thorne
THIS BOOK IS NOT HEA - It's the story of Dylan before he and his brother, James, travel to Venice in "His Two Hidden Masks." Books do not need to be read in order since each novel has its own set of surprises XO Emma
SHE GAVE HIM HER VOICE
HE GAVE HER HIS SOUL
THEY BOTH PAID A PRICE TO FORGE HIS TWO HIDDEN MASKS
Dylan Street is fated to remain in Dublin University for summer school. It’s either that, or flunk out and return home to his billionaire family a failure.
Against his father��s wishes, Dylan enrolls in a music class where he’s partnered with his gorgeous and enigmatic neighbor, Bex. She’s beautiful, evasive, and wants nothing to do with Dylan and his posh family. Over time, the two connect over their shared passion for music, and then each other. Soon they are making music together inside and outside of Dylan’s dorm room bed.
Just as the future opens wide for Dylan and Bex, the Street family closes in with information on Bex’s past that is impossible for Dylan to ignore.
What happens when the first love that transforms you, also breaks your heart?
His Broken Promise is a steamy billionaire rock star romance - Not HEA
Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the crowd. The band began to play a traditional tune and one of my favorite drinking songs, “The Fields of Athenry.”
But it wasn’t the gravelly voice of the guitarist. It was the perfectly pitched lilt of a woman’s voice that filled the pub.
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl call
Michael, they have taken you away
A voice so rich and timbered took me by surprise. I turned on my stool. A petite young woman with long, dark hair cradled the mic in her hands. The single spotlight caressed her with its cool, blue light. Her silver-beaded, halter dress reflected the beam, elevating her to an ethereal queen. Were my eyes tearing up from the sweet sadness in her voice?
Low lies the field of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ‘round the fields of Athenry
I set down my drink, mesmerized.
The crowd noises faded away.
Her golden voice had so much soul, like she had many lives within her. It was much larger than the small woman who produced it. I’d never heard it interpreted with such depth of feeling before. Her grief and her pain were in every word. It was personal.
James tapped me on the shoulder. I pushed him away.
The luminous brunette was a siren, a broken-hearted seductress drawing me toward her. She was by far the most interesting and beautiful woman I’d ever seen. She had something inside her that I had no experience with and couldn’t name.
