#TeaserTuesday: Secret Vows by Rochelle Alers Time seemed to accelerate, and she found herself sitting on the stool holding a microphone. A strange calm swept over everyone when all the lights dimmed, and the spotlights shone on Jason and Greer. She turned and stared at him when he began playing the familiar piano introduction to “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” She was confused because he’d said she wouldn’t sing that selection until the following week. Instead of looking out at the audience, she sang to him. Their gazes met and held. It was as if an invisible cord held them spellbound as the sound of the acoustic piano floated through the restaurant like ripples on a pond. Jason had become Bruce Hornsby and she Bonnie Raitt, and it felt as if everyone had held their breath until the last note faded away. Greer finally looked away when the song ended, and she stared at the stage. The words had not come from her mouth but from her heart. She wanted Jason to love her, and she wanted to trust him not to hurt her. If you loved me enough to marry me, then I would spend the rest of my life making you as happy as I’m certain you’d make me. Why, she thought, couldn’t she forget his fervent declaration? #HarlequinKimani, #RochelleAlers, #HideawayNovel, #HideawayWedding
