Excerpt

When she entered her dressing room, her smile faded. She looked across to the lighted mirror on the table. No, she decided, she wasn’t going to think about Jake again if she wanted to go on stage and perform tonight. She walked over to the padded chair and slumped wearily onto the cushion. There wasn’t much time, so she began applying her make up.

After finishing, she slipped the black sequined dress on, zipping it in place. She inspected the sparkling gown reflecting brightly in the mirror above the dressing table. The style showed her curvaceous figure to advantage, but that fact didn’t boost her confidence. The face staring back at her looked strained and anxious. Renay applied a second coating of dark powder to her small nose and then covered her lips with a bright gloss hoping to hide the pale look lining her features. As she studied the results, she heard male voices in the hallway outside her dressing room. Walking over to the door, she cracked it an inch and peered through the small opening.

Jon stood in the hallway talking to another man. The stranger stood in the shadows beneath the stage scenery hanging overhead. There was something familiar about the other man’s facial outline, and as he turned and moved into the lighted area, her breath caught with a gasp. She’d been right all along. Iciness clutched her heart and she felt the trembling spasms of shock weaken her legs. Jake Savage stood only a few feet away.

Time hadn’t changed his rugged, handsome features, or the way he lifted his head in that proud tilt. His hands were shoved in his pockets stretching the material of his gray slacks tautly across his muscled thighs.

Renay quietly closed the door and leaned back against it, sighing deeply. She knew there was no way to block out the past as the bittersweet memories filled her thoughts. She closed her eyes tightly, but could still see Jake’s dark, unlined face filling her mind’s eye.

She slowly walked over to the stool and sat down again in front of the rounded mirror. What was Jake Savage doing here tonight? Why had he shown up on her first engagement in the small town where all her heartaches had begun?

Staring moodily into the mirror, she studied her flawless, olive skin. She reached up and touched the long black hair that swept down her back in a thick mass. Had she changed much in the years since Jake went away? Not in appearance, but in other ways. She’d become harder and didn’t let many people break through the shell she’d built. No, she thought in frustration, she should have relied on her intuition and stayed away from these painful surroundings.
