Sneak Peek

“He wants to meet!”

Isabelle Lawson dragged her attention back to the phone.  She was trying to finish typing up the edit letter that had to go out by the end of the day.  “Who wants to meet?”

“Haven’t you been listening?  Grant!”  Impatience and excitement snapped in Leah’s voice.

Isabelle flipped through her mental roster, but the only Grants she should think of were a copy editor she knew at Random House and the hero of a romantic suspense she’d sent out a revise-and-resubmit request on three months before.

I never did hear back about that, she thought and reached for a pen to make note to follow up.  “Who the heck is Grant?”

“The doctor.”

“Why do you need a doctor?” asked Isabelle, adding a notation to the manuscript on the screen for the author to clarify the heroine’s motivation.

Leah made a frustrated noise that sounded like nothing so much as a rabid Chihuahua.  “Honestly Isabelle, can I get a moment of multi-task free attention here? I’m starting to think if it isn’t about a character on a page or a deadline, you aren’t aware of The World.”

Given the extreme time crunch she’d been under for the last six months making certain that her new acquisitions were up to snuff and preparing for the release of not one, but two of her biggest debut authors yet, Isabelle decided that was an honest, if unflattering, observation.  Guilt pinched, but publishing waited for no man, especially in the race to be the top digital press in the country.

“I’m sorry.”  Deliberately, she twirled in her chair until her back was to the laptop.  “I swear, I’m paying attention now.”

“Good.  Some of us aren’t content just reading about love.  We want to actually get out there to find and experience it.”

Isabelle let that gut shot sink in but didn’t rise to the bait.  “And Grant the doctor is…?”

“The guy I’ve been talking to on-line for the last three weeks.”

I should have known, she thought.
