Enjoy this deleted scene from Victoria Adams latest work, A GUY AND A GIRL.
Chelsea’s mother smiled at her husband’s personal assistant. “Chelsea and Kendall around?”
“They were in Coach’s office.”
She walked across the office, pulled open the door and peeked inside. “Flown the coop. I probably should have started at the party. Two twenty-year-old females and a roomful of young hockey players. Richard’s going to get gray hairs over this.” Wandering into the party, she smiled at Doc Johnson and Marjorie Rivers. “Hello. Happy recruitment camp.”
“Same old, same old,” said Doc Johnson.
“Marjorie, have you seen your daughter or mine?”
“Not in here. And thank-you for driving Kendall home for me. Her car’s still at the body shop.”
“That’s what she gets for letting a garbage truck run over it,” said Doc Johnson.
“It only backed into her car. Thank heavens she wasn’t in it!”
Mrs. Henderson laughed. “Isn’t it strange? They grow up and want their freedom then one sprains her ankle and the other kills her car and who do these sophisticated independent women run to?
Their mothers. What would they do without us? I’ll go ask Richard if he has seen his daughter.”
“No, he hasn’t.” Coach Henderson kissed his wife on the cheek. “At least not since I threw them out of the meeting earlier. I suggest you try my office.”
“Try again.” She smiled.
“The locker room would be my next guess.”
Nodding, she said, “You’re probably right. Oh! Found a player of yours though.”
Coach Henderson frowned. “Who? Where?”
“Said his name’s Hunter. He was in the arena. Too much bullshitting at the party – his words not mine. He was checking out the sweet spots on the boards. What’s a sweet spot? You’d think I’d know the jargon by now.”
“A sweet spot, my dear, is the spot where the puck hits and deflects off into the direction you want.” He rubbed his chin. “You know I don’t like Chelsea and Kendall just wandering around here. I liked it a whole lot better when she didn’t have hormones and thought hockey was a total bore.”
“They all grow up sometime. If I still thought hockey was a total bore, I wouldn’t be married to you. Now excuse me or I’ll never get that girl out of here and away from your hockey players. Remember home by seven. We’re going to Blasko’s. Evie’s promised she’ll have her scrumptious chocolate mocha cheesecake.”
Tagline
Lies, deceits and secrets – not a good way to begin a relationship.
Blurb
After an ugly past forced Hunter Connolly to escape to Europe, the talented hockey player is back in North America and determined to land a position with a professional team. But he can’t hide from his past forever, especially when his beautiful classmate, Chelsea, forces him to reexamine his life. Soon, hockey is not his first priority anymore.
Chelsea Henderson is a bright co-ed working towards her dream of being a professional dancer. She forms a unique friendship with one of her father’s newest recruits and would love nothing more than to take it to the next level. However, there’s just one small problem. He doesn’t know she’s his coach’s daughter.
Amid the deceptions, danger lurks closer than they could ever imagine. Will fate contrive to rip the young lovers apart? Or will Hunter and Chelsea have their shot at love?

Hi. Thanks for letting me stop by and share my deleted scene.
Interesting. Why was this scene deleted? Or would that give away too much?
Tweeted 🙂
130,000 words in original draft. Needed to slash and burn!!! But I kept several of the scenes and they are going to get life in blog posts.
Thanks for asking, Andrea.
You rock, Victoria!
Right back at ‘cha, Mart.
I love that we often cut great scenes but can use them later in posts. The book sounds wonderful! I wish you all the best!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Melissa.
Sounds like a very interesting book…having some sports talk in it may add a few men to your readership! (-;
There are several scenes with Hunter and his teammates and some scenes on the ice. I’d love some male fans.
