CHAPTER ELEVEN

Gracie strode into a large meeting room and glanced around. At least twenty agents or editors had situated themselves at various stations to provide some privacy while they met with authors.

Dondi Gable was still talking to someone, so Gracie helped herself to a cup of coffee from one of the large urns and a powdered donut. Thank goodness her suit jacket was white, to help hide dropped sugar. She’d only gotten a few bites ingested when Dondi scurried over for more coffee.

“I wish I could have an IV hooked up to this thing. I just can’t seem to get enough caffeine this morning.” She smiled at Gracie. “Too much alcohol last night. I love these conventions, but my liver doesn’t.” She sipped from her cup. “Are you Gracie Luera? My next appointment?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Well, grab a refill and another donut, then come join me.” Dondi studied the selection and chose a chocolate covered éclair. “Matches my hat, don’t you think?” Her hat of the day had a brown crown and a yellow brim with smiley faces printed on the brown ribbon at the base of the crown.

It was one freakin’ butt-ugly hat.

Once they sat and Dondi had Gracie’s form in front of her, the agent sipped her coffee while studying it. “So, you write erotic under the name Raven Sylk.” She tapped her long fingernail on some jotted notes. “I checked your sales. For an independent author, you’re doing fairly well.” She looked into Gracie’s eyes. “I’ve met so many women this weekend, but you seem especially familiar. Have we met someplace else?”

Crap. She might as well confess. Lying never came easy. She rubbed the new jade pendant between her thumb and index finger. Not that she believed in good luck amulets, but she could use some help right about now.

“Yes, you have. In an elevator, wearing a short red dress with my arms and legs wrapped around a guy wearing alligator boots.”

Dondi covered her face and laughed. “Oh, holy hell on a mackerel, what an elevator ride.” She slid a contract in front of Gracie. “Read this before you sign it. Any woman who can handle herself the way you did, and still get the guy, is one of my newest favorite people. My God, what a scene! I laugh every time I think of it.”

“You’re offering me a contract? Just like that?” This couldn’t be happening. Dondi Gable had a reputation for being uber picky in choosing her clients.

“Well, let’s talk about what you want from your career. What do you do besides write? Tell me about you as a person first. Then move onto you as a writer.”

Fifteen minutes later Gracie floated out of the conference room, signed with a top-notch agent. She flopped into the nearest comfy chair and pulled out her phone to text Webb. “Your necklace worked. Dondi signed me as her newest client. I have a top-notch agent. Can you believe it?”

She pulled the signed contract from her briefcase and stared at it.
