Exclusive Excerpt from Hearts on Fire :)
Gavin and Ava walked hand in hand through the park. It turned out to be a beautiful day, though the park was a bit crowded. It seemed that everyone had the same idea. Ava didn’t mind, though. She loved being outside and having the sun warm her skin. Gavin seemed to notice this and asked, “You really like being outside, don’t you?”
“I do. I even love being outside in the rain, especially in the summer. There is just something about summer rain that makes me feel happy. Winter rain, on the other hand, no thank you. I hate being cold.”
Gavin laughed. “I’m learning about a lot of your dislikes today. This is good. No surprises, winter rain. Anything else?”
“Rodents! Ugh, I hate them. I don’t just mean mice and rats. Ferrets, possums, squirrels—anything with a long tail and beady eyes.”
“So, if I bought you a pet rat for your birthday, you wouldn’t like it?”
Ava shuttered. “Eww, no, just the thought skeeves me out.”
The two just laughed at each other and made their way through the park. Ava heard people singing in a shady part of the park, and Gavin was actually guiding her in that direction.
“What’s going on there?” Ava asked.
“You’ll see,” Gavin said with that devilish smile.
“Oh boy! Is this my next surprise?”
“Come on,” Gavin said as he pulled her over to a group of people gathered around two men singing “Imagine” by John Lennon. Ava turned to Gavin with a look of shock. He remembered. She had told him in conversation the week before that she loved classic rock, especially the Beatles. She also told him that if she ever had a daughter, she would name her Lennon. Thinking back on it, Ava was surprised Gavin asked her out after that comment. Ava held Gavin’s bicep and laid her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and listened to the two men sing one of her favorite songs. At one point, she began to sway, and she felt Gavin pull her into his body. It felt right being with him. Their bodies fit together perfectly, and she didn’t want to break contact with him. Fire was shooting through her veins, and she couldn’t believe that someone’s touch could do this to her. When the two men were done, the crowd erupted in a loud applause. Ava didn’t notice, but she had been crying. That song always did it to her.
“Are you OK, Ava?” Gavin asked as he wiped a tear with the pad of his thumb.
“I’m fine, Gavin. That is my favorite song, and I always get emotional when I listen to it. That was amazing. Thank you.”
“Of course, but you haven’t seen the best part.” Gavin pulled her through the crowd, and in the middle of the circle was a huge peace sign made out of stone with the word “imagine” in the middle. Along the outside of the peace sign was a bunch of different flowers outlining it. This truly was amazing. Ava could only imagine what John Lennon would’ve been capable of had he been alive today.
Ava looked at Gavin and reached up on her tippy toes to kiss him on the cheek. “Thank you, Gavin. This has been the best date ever.”
Gavin held Ava in his arms and kissed the top of her forehead. “So, could we add this to the list of things that you like?”
Ava laughed into his chest. “Yes, Gavin, we can.”
The next moment happened so quickly Ava didn’t even realize what was going on. Gavin dipped Ava back and planted a sweet kiss on her lips. Thankfully, Ava didn’t scream when it happened, because the kiss probably wouldn’t have been as amazing. Gavin’s lips were so soft against hers, and they tasted like mint and lemons. Ava cupped her hands behind his head and opened her mouth so Gavin could deepen the kiss. Gavin’s hand was on Ava’s lower back, and the other was behind her head. They continued their kiss, dancing with their tongues. They would’ve kept kissing if it weren’t for the applause and whistles they heard around them. They broke their kiss, and Ava buried her head in Gavin’s chest once again.
“Good job, man!”
“Get a room!”
Gavin just waved to everyone, and Ava pulled him toward the street.
“Oh my god. That was so embarrassing,” Ava said with a slight blush in her cheeks.
“Was it really that bad kissing me?” Gavin asked with his hand over his heart, faking insult.
“No, the kiss was amazing. I have never done anything like that in public before.”
Gavin pulled Ava closer. “Good. I like that I was able to share that with you. But, I promise, Ava, the next time I kiss you will be behind closed doors, and I will not stop there.”
Ava’s cheeks burned, and she knew she was red. The thought of Gavin’s lips on hers again was causing a stir in her belly. She wasn’t the type of girl to sleep with someone on the first date, but she could make an exception for someone who made it the best date she’d ever had.
If this date gave Ava any clue as to how their relationship would be, Ava was going to be one lucky girl.

Going Backwards
I've given in and started writing book #3, although book #2 is barely started. Bree is being very stubborn and giving me a hard time with her story. Elise however, is cooperating so I have decided to work on her story until Bree decides to stop acting like a child lol.

Writer's Block
So, as I sit here trying to write book #2 in the Hearts on Fire series, I am having writer's block. Bree and Louis' story is a little more difficult for me to write than Ava and Gavin's was. However, Elise's story, the oldest Kingston sister, is almost done in my head. I would just write Elise's story first BUT, it would make more sense for Bree's story to come first. Has this every happened to anyone before? Can you offer any tips, for how I can get out of this funk?
Thanks,
Ashli xo :) Ashli Rose
