Hard to tell wha...Hi Cindy, glad you could join us. Hard to tell what he has in store for Jordan. Only way to find out is to read the book.<br /><br />Here's another excerpt:<br /><br />“I made hot chocolate, would you like one?” She poured two mugs of hot chocolate,<br />without waiting for his answer, went to the living room and held one out to him. “I’m Jordan<br />Blake, and you are?”<br />He struggled to his feet and towered over her. Jordan stifled a laugh when he noticed<br />the too short robe. Holding the mug with one hand, he grabbed the blanket and held it in<br />front of him.<br />“Who...What...Where am I?” His gaze darted around the room.<br />“You washed up on the shore. I assumed you must have been fishing, Mr...”<br />He tightened his grasp on the blanket and let out a low whistle.<br />“I’m...” He shook his head, turned in a circle. “I don’t know who I am. Where am I?<br />What am I doing here?” His knees buckled, the cup fell, spilling its contents all over the<br />floor. Jordan rushed to help him to the couch and eased him down just before he passed out<br />again.<br />She sat next to him, brushed the hair from his face and ran her finger gently along his<br />cheek, down to his lips. Soft lips, gentle lips. Lips begging to be kissed. She leaned down,<br />brought her lips to his. Inches away, she came to her senses. Stop it, Jordan. What’s wrong<br />with you?<br />She moved away, not liking the sensations he aroused in her. If he affected her like this<br />while he slept, what would happen when he woke up? She needed to distance herself from<br />him and moved to a nearby chair, picked up her laptop, opened it, and worked on her new<br />novel. The irony of the title page made her chuckle, Stranger on the Shore.Roseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-23318326136643084542011-03-19T17:30:12.234-03:002011-03-19T17:30:12.234-03:00"Hey," Roseanne picks herself up and dus..."Hey," Roseanne picks herself up and dusts off her dress.

Can't wait to find out who he is and why he's at Jordan's place. With spring representing rebirth, I wonder if the stranger will be symbolic for a rebirth in Jordan's life.
