Excerpt (Cool)
All I had to do was steal a rare, red
diamond. How hard could that be?
I followed the others into the Whittle Bus,
took a seat and turned to look out the window. I didn't want a seat buddy. I
didn't want a BFF – someone to giggle and bond with. I had a job to do. I had
to keep my focus.
Especially if I wanted to live.
I stared blankly out the window, not seeing
the city shift to country. Music blared from the bus's sound system. The driver
turned the radio on an All 80s channel.
Trying to block the music, I reviewed my evening. First, act like a meek
female, not too competent or intelligent who doesn't speak English fluently.
Second, pretend to be an acceptable server and deliver drinks to thirsty, rich
people. Third, steal the red diamond.
Simple enough.
I didn't want the gem. Hmph, who was I
kidding? I'd love to own it. But, a job's a job. I'd been commissioned to steal
and deliver it to a secure box. And that's exactly what I intended to do. I'd
planned this job for several weeks, if not months. Finally, the right
opportunity presented itself and here I was sitting on a bus listening to You Spin Me Round, dressed like a French
maid. So unbelievably annoying. The skirt barely covered the bend in my butt.
Every time I tugged at the skirt, my boobs started to pop out of the top. Not
that there was a lot of boob to pop out. I seemed to be missing the greatly endowed gene. I stifled the
fantasy of putting my fingers around the neck of the old pervert that demanded
we wear these ridiculous outfits. And gloves. We all had to wear white gloves.
Who does that?
I'm guessing the host of the party didn't
want us mere peasants touching anything, leaving our filthy germs which he
might pick up and then die of some horrible flesh-eating disease. Hey, a person
can dream.
But on the bright side, the gloves played
right into my hand, so to speak. I didn't have to figure out how to conceal a
pair of latex gloves. I'd wear these white monstrosities, steal the red diamond
and not leave a fingerprint in the whole house.
The bus slowed, passed through the open gates
then drove around to the back of a large manor house. I'll admit the house
wasn't as big as the one in Downton Abbey, but it was still impressive. A red
stone house with several floors, lots of windows and partially covered in ivy.
The land around it extended for acres in every direction. I'd already done my
research on the place. I knew every inch of the outside and inside. I had
escape routes planned. Although, I had no intention of needing them. I was
confident I was leaving the same way as I'd arrived – on this bus.
I knew where I could hide in the house if
needed. And I had a back-up plan to my back-up plan. Several people had been
paid hefty fees to watch my back. This gem was as good as stolen.

an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, a black cat named
Licorice and some house ghosts. Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest.
Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the
back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has
touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean
in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the
ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun
living it.
An Interview with Hot
Romance Author Daryl Devoré
How did you come up
with the title?
I am terrible at
titles – TERRIBLE. But this is a box set so someone else came up with the
title.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or
events in your own life?
As far as I know, I don't know any thieves
and I certainly don't know any billionaires.
What are your current projects?
I am trying to finish a medieval fantasy. But
the dragon is getting nasty and I'm too scared to open the document. (or I've
hit a block in the writing – lol)
Is there anything you find particularly
challenging in your writing?
Marketing. I'm a writer – not a marketer.
People go to university to study the subject. Writers are just supposed to know
what to do.
Who is your favorite
author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
Torn between Agatha
Christie and Dorothy L Sayers. Love the complexity of the story and the way
they pull you in.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Many, many authors will say – learn your
craft, study the rules. I say – write the damn book. 90% of the people who
start won't finish. So finish it. Yes, it is going to have plot holes, and
grammar mistakes – so what. You wrote a book. Now, you can go back and study
and fix it.
