Thank you so much to Philomena for letting me share an excerpt from my romance anthology A Wedding in Cornwall: Books 7-12. This particular scene comes from Book 8, A Star in Cornwall, and shows the heroine Julianne regretting her decision to direct the local community theatre’s upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet:
"I can't believe I agreed to this," I groaned. "I haven't the faintest idea where to start." I let the script fall closed — one that had Shakespeare's characters paired with modern settings and cues, like coffee shops, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, for examples.
"It can't be that bad," Katie said. "I did Shakespeare in high school a couple of times. Basically, people just expect the usual hallmarks. Two people in love, a swordfight ... like The Princess Bride with 'thee' and 'thou.'"
"You've been in theater?" Here was the first possible intersection with Kitty that I had encountered from my new assistant. It seemed too good to be true, two girls with theater experience ending up in my office.
"Well ... not exactly," said Katie. "That is ... for one night. I was an understudy and the girl playing my part got the stomach flu."
"Were you good?" I asked. "By 'good,' I mean did you survive without throwing up onstage?"
"Are you trying to rope me into this thing?" asked Katie.
"Do coconuts grow on palm trees?" I asked. Behind me, Michael chuckled as he pulled a fresh lemon sponge from the oven.
"Mmm, that smells heavenly," said Katie, as the sharp sweetness rose from the cake tin.
"Sure does," said another voice, this one from the open kitchen door.
A stranger stood there, a backpack at his feet, and a note of hunger in his voice for Michael's lemon drizzle cake. I recognized the boy from the pub, the one whose drink I had accidentally spilled.
In the daylight, I could see his hair was raven black, his eyes a greenish shade of blue. His features were chiseled and distinctive — maybe that's why Katie's posture suddenly straightened, and her fingers were busy brushing back the strands of her short hair.
