Overture
Lyrical Interludes Book 2
by Claire Davon
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Picture
Ally Wilson should have been a slam dunk for VP until transplanted marketing executive Dirk Roberts takes what's rightfully hers. A dubious reputation dogs Dirk, and her boss wants her to keep an eye on him. One look from Dirk's searing sensual gaze and her world shifts.

Dirk never intended to be in Los Angeles, but a shattered reputation forced him to take desperate measures. He wants to repair his name and get out of the sprawling city. Ally's haunting curves and undeniable appeal won't change that, much as he yearns for her.

Their coming together is inevitable, as is the waiting disaster if their relationship becomes known. Can two damaged souls find happiness—or will their pasts destroy them?

​ She let her shoulder graze his arm, gazing up at the man standing next to her. She hoped her attraction didn’t show but doubted that. It must be blindingly obvious to anyone in their vicinity. She had to stop this. That near kiss… Had he desired it as much as she had?
Giddy, dizzying sensations swept through her, and she fought to keep her expression neutral. “I’ll have Jess stay on top of the fan club. I think we’re ready for the conference next week. Travel to Austin is all set, and I have hotel confirmations for Jess and the band. No news about awards shows, but that’s a long shot anyway.”
“It’s not needed, but it sure would be nice. There’s time. Keep working on it. We’ve started tracking the charts,” Dirk said.
“Hey, Ally,” Gordon said. “Are you doing something different with your hair?”
Dirk glanced at her, then at the mass of honey blonde. Her hair now waved over the back of her neck, at least an inch past what it had been when he first met her.
She was growing it. She told herself the change was for any number of reasons, but that was nonsense. She did it because Dirk liked long hair.
This had to stop. She should not be trying to please a man. She knew firsthand how badly that went.
Don’t try to punch out of your class, darling. You don’t have the pedigree. The words of one of Connor’s Ivy League friends echoed within her. The woman had been there on a business trip and made it clear that Connor’s little middle-class girlfriend was annoying. She shouldn’t have been surprised that they wound up together. It had been inevitable.
“I got bored with the short hair,” she said, running her fingers through the lengthening strands. “Someone reminded me that I was pretty with long hair, so I thought I’d try it again.” Avoiding Dirk’s attention, she focused on the whiteboard. “What’s going on with the promo ad?”
“Promo ad is good. I’ll get the final version next week. We got seven thousand ‘Susan’ shirts ready to go to the hotel for goodie bags. I got ones for you and Jess. Will you wear it at the convention?”
“If you will wear one too,” she said. The image of him in a lemon-yellow T-shirt with a picture of a woman holding a wand saying Susan the Magician on it brought a smile to her face. She suppressed a chuckle at Dirk’s mock black glare from under his hat.
“Doesn’t go with the Stetson.” His drawl held the rounded tones that meant he was amused.
Ally turned to Gordon after flashing Dirk a mischievous grin. “I think Dirk wears too many primary colors, don’t you, Prez? A lemon-yellow T-shirt might jazz up his image, get him in touch with his feminine side. Doesn’t that Western store on Van Nuys Blvd. sell all sorts of colored Stetsons? We could get one to match.”
“I’ll give you feminine side,” he growled.
Dirk couldn’t control the twitching of his lips, a tic that told her he was enjoying being teased as much as she was relishing teasing him.
Gordon’s gaze darted between them. “You get Dirk into a yellow T-shirt, and I’ll make sure you get a bonus.”
She turned her attention to Dirk, tilting her neck up in a pleading pose.
He chuckled, shaking his head slowly. “Sorry, darlin’, not even begging would get me in one of those frilly, flippy colors.”
With a sigh, she relented. “Let’s get back to it. I’ve got a lot to do before the convention.” She should be happy for her win. The fact that she was going to the conference and not Dirk was a good thing. All she had to do was keep at it, and she would get what she was owed.
Even if it came at his expense.
“Too bad about the T-shirt. Catch you later.” She ducked out before Dirk could make a smart retort.

Claire can’t remember a time when writing wasn’t part of her life. Growing up, she used to write stories with her friends. As a teenager she started out reading fantasy and science fiction, but her diet quickly changed to romance and happily-ever-after’s. A native of Massachusetts and cold weather, she left all that behind to move to the sun and fun of California, but has always lived no more than twenty miles from the ocean.
In college she studied acting with a minor in creative writing. In hindsight she should have flipped course studies. Before she was published, she sold books on eBay and discovered some of her favorite authors by sampling the goods, which was the perfect solution. Claire has many book-irons in the fire, most notably her urban fantasy series, The Elementals’ Challenge series, but writes contemporary and shifter romances as well as.
While she’s not a movie mogul or actor, she does work in the film industry with her office firmly situated in the 90210 district of Hollywood. Prone to break out into song, she is quick on feet and just as quick with snappy dialogue. In addition to writing she does animal rescue, reads, and goes to movies. She loves to hear from fans, so feel free to drop her a line.
