Description:
During a routine meeting to discuss the welfare
of one of her students, Mia is introduced to Dr Cayd Donnelly, a man so
devastatingly attractive that she almost forgot to say no when he asked her out
- despite her loyalty to her long term boyfriend, Eric.
Shortly after, the usually predictable Mia
becomes anything but. The change in her behaviour delights Eric, but concerns
her best friend Louise when she stops signing while they talk.
After a month of worry and frustration, Mia
finally seeks professional help in a bid to discover why she is missing chunks
of her memory.
From there, she discovers something about herself
that is so life altering, things will never be the same for Mia again...

Mia
greeted them all warmly, shaking their hands in turn. When the psychiatrist
took her hand, her breath caught, the simple touch sending a warmth up her arm
that both confused and elated her.
“Cayd
Donnelly,” he stated, his voice a soft rumble that seemed to curl through her
body via her ears. He smiled at her, their hands staying connected for longer
than was normal in a professional setting as his thumb moved over the back of
her hand in an absent-minded caress.
As
if suddenly realising what he was doing, Dr. Donnelly gave Mia a short nod
before he released her hand and stepped back. The swift movement managed to
dislodge his dark hair so it fell
forward slightly and caught the corner of his hazel eyes, causing him to reach
a graceful hand up to brush it into its rightful place.
Mia
stared at him, unable to tear her eyes away. When she’d imagined the man she
was going to meet this morning, she had pictured an older greying man, with
wire-rimmed glasses and a beard. Not a man so young and beautiful that he could
have been sculpted personally by the hands of Michelangelo himself.
Heat
crept across her cheeks, flushing them pink as she caught herself staring and,
with great effort, finally tore her eyes away, focusing instead on Corey and
his parents.
“Er…Tamara
– the principal - should be here shortly,” she said to them all brightly,
before turning to Corey. “Would you like
to go and join Callie in the library? We’ll be about an hour,” she spoke
clearly and signed to him.
She
watched his eyes drift over to Callie, who had stopped at the nearby water
bubblers for a drink, before he nodded his head, jogging over to her before she
could walk ahead of him.
Smiling
to herself, she watched the two walk off together, Callie talking and signing
simply for Corey to understand. A small amount of hope blossomed inside Mia as
she thought that Callie may possibly be the key to getting Corey more involved.
“Never
underestimate the power of a pretty girl,” Cayd commented, making eye contact
with Mia as if he had somehow heard the thoughts run through her head.
Something passed between them, electrifying the air, causing Mia’s body to
ignite under his gaze. An embarrassing gasp burst from her lips and her cheeks
flamed yet again.
