Excerpt from New Contemporary Romance Novel: There's An App For Love

Here's an excerpt from my new novel, "There's An App For Love." It's when Liz (the heroine) sees Liam's (the hero) photo on her friend's mobile dating app for the first time.


*******************************************



She paused mid-sentence. Because the man on Jenny’s iPhone 6 plus was incredibly handsome.
“Is he for real?” Jenny asked.
Liz felt a flush creep from her cheeks, through her breasts and down toward her thighs. She wanted to jump into the screen of the phone like they did in science fiction movies, so that she could be with the man in the photograph.
She wondered if it was the Cosmopolitan. Or if the warm flush between her thighs had something to do with that incredibly chiseled chin. The flecks of gray in those thick shocks of wavy black hair. Those eyes that were darker than the night.
But the eyes of the man on Jenny’s phone didn’t have that trace of arrogance or aloofness you normally see on the faces of super attractive people. His eyes were dark and kind at the same time. He was the kind of man who would be attentive to his lover in bed. It was hard to believe that such a person existed in real life, and he was living and breathing, just on the other end of a mobile phone.
“I mean…he’s attractive huh?”
“I thought you were in sales and marketing Liz,” Jenny said. “A wordsmith and all. Attractive is not the word. I mean look at him. He looks like he could be right from George Clooney’s family.  With George Clooney being the ugly brother.”
“What’s a man like this doing on a mobile dating app?”
If she ever made love to such a man, Liz would ask him to delete his Flame profile. There was no reason a woman should have to share such a gorgeous boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
Or to state it more accurately:
Boyfriend?????!!!!!!
What was she doing thinking about boyfriends? Had she forgotten what Jason had done to her? Had she forgotten all those scars just because they had disappeared from her skin?
Had she forgotten the promise that she had made to herself?
