Short Blurb:
All
roads lead to Rome when Ashley embarks on fulfilling her dream to become a
world-class dancer.
But
there’s one person who stands in her way. “It’s a no from me” Antonio
Machiavelli.
Excerpt:
Ashley
grimaced.
He
let the girl get to the chorus before dismissing her as well. The other panel
members spoke kindly, and she didn’t leave in tears as the candidate before her
had.
Before
he could call next, she walked out on stage. She didn’t stand a chance in hell,
so why give him the satisfaction of ordering her around? Finding her center,
she met the eyes of the panel and blinked. Maybe she should have Googled
Antonio Machiavelli, she mused standing transfixed. He was much younger than
she expected and more attractive.
He
appeared to be in his early thirties, with a mop of dark curls falling across
his forehead. Even seated, he towered over the other judges. No wonder every girl’s unnerved. He`s
intimidating with his tanned hands folded in front of him on the table.. His
grim scowl reminded her to not cave.
“What’s
your name?” the lone woman on the panel asked with a kind smile.
“Ashley,”
she replied.
The
woman glanced down at her clipboard. “It says here you have no formal
training.”
Antonio
Machiavelli gave a deep sigh. Her brow furrowed. “Yes.”
Nail-biting
silence reigned for a moment then the woman waved her hand. “Proceed.”
Antonio
Machiavelli placed his fingers at his temples. “Do we have to? She has no
formal training. She’s wasting everyone’s time.”
Ashley’s
jaw clenched. “How about you let me finish my audition? You’ll have enough
ammunition to ridicule me with after.”
That
got his attention. She couldn’t see the color of his eyes, but if she had to
guess, she’d say fiery red. He sat forward in his chair, leaning over the
table, dwarfing it.
He
had the persona of an angry wolf out to devour her. The thought set her heart
racing. What? She watched too much True Blood.
