A GUY AND A GIRL by Victoria Adams
Tagline
Lies, deceits and secrets - not a good way to begin a
relationship.
Blurb:
After an ugly past forced Hunter Connolly to escape to Europe, the
talented hockey player is back in North America and determined to land a
position with a professional team. But he can’t hide from his past forever,
especially when his beautiful classmate, Chelsea, forces him to reexamine his
life. Soon, hockey is not his first priority anymore.
Chelsea Henderson is a bright co-ed working towards her dream of being a
professional dancer. She forms a unique friendship with one of her father’s
newest recruits and would love nothing more than to take it to the next level.
However, there’s just one small problem. He doesn’t know she’s his coach’s
daughter.
Amid the deceptions, danger lurks closer than they could ever imagine.
Will fate contrive to rip the young lovers apart? Or will Hunter and Chelsea
have their shot at love?

Deleted scenes:
Scene set – in a
local pizzeria. Chelsea and her friend, Cole, join Hunter and 2 of his
teammates – Zach and Rod.
This scene was
cut so early that Cole's name hadn't been changed to Kendall, which is what it
is in the book. I changed her name because I thought having 2 main characters
with names that started with the same letter might get confusing.
"Everyone
has to take a minimum of two courses." Cole placed her drink on the table.
"I’m taking painting and sculpturing. Chelsea’s taking Communications and a
dance course and Hunter’s taking Communications and Genetics."
Sitting between
Zach and Rod, Cole had the perfect vantage spot to watch every move Hunter
made. She watched how his eyes moved from person to person as the conversation
progressed. She was mesmerized watching his lips touch the glass as he drank
his Coke. His face easily smiled. He was relaxed, totally at ease. To Cole,
Hunter’s body was a flame and she was a willing moth.
Hunter shook his
head. "It’s not genetics. I tried explaining this to Chelsea. It’s a
biology credit - Principles of Ecology. Genetics is just the current section,
and if they are all as complex as this I’m so screwed!"
"You're a
dancer?" Rod asked, with the air of the youngest at the table trying to
look mature.
"Well, I’m studying
dance but I’m not sure that’s what I want to be." Chelsea titled her head
towards her friend. "Cole's the artistic one. I want something else."
"I want to
know why women always eat the guy’s pizza and never eat their own." Hunter
tossed his slice onto Chelsea’s plate. "She’s eaten half my pizza and
stole all the pepperoni off this slice."
Cole chuckled. "Somebody
else’s pizza always tastes better."
"And has
fewer calories." Chelsea placed the pizza slice back onto Hunter’s plate.
"Don’t want that slice, doesn’t have any pepperoni on it."
Hunter rolled his
eyes and put the slice that was in his hand on Chelsea’s plate. She continued
to pick off the slices of pepperoni.
Scene set - later
in same evening Cole drove Hunter to the campus library.
Cole debated
whether to wait for Hunter to exit and offer to drive him home or just go home.
It was a very short debate. Pulling into a far corner of the parking lot, she
parked where she could see Hunter exit the library.
By ten thirty,
the rhythm of the rain on her car roof was lulling her to sleep. Turning on the
window wipers, she peered through the darkness and rain and willed Hunter to
walk through the door. When he did, he wasn’t alone. Laughing and running he
followed a blonde to her car, got in and they drove away.
"Damn
him!" Cole slammed her hands
against the steering wheel.
Bio:
I'm Victoria Adams. I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband
and pets. Daughter's
grown up and is now teaching. I like to garden, cook and study Raqs Sharqi
(Egyptian belly dance). In the summer, cars slow down when they pass my front
yard and the passengers gaze at my flower beds. Friends love to be invited over
for supper as the meal is going to be good, good for you and nowhere near
low-calorie! No dieting allowed at dinner parties. As to belly dancing, find a
class and try it. It's a blast! Age and weight don't matter. There are many
plus size ladies and one 74 yr old grandmother in one of my classes.
I've been writing since I was little. Being an only child, long
car rides were filled with making up stories in my head about the people I saw
out the car window. When my daughter was younger, I made up stories that
she suggested. I'd say – Once upon a time there was a…. She'd shout an answer –
chicken! And the story went from there. Great creativity exercise as it turns
out. Now, my
writing style has taken a split to contemporary romance for adults and
contemporary romance for new adults.
Circles Trilogy is my first series.
