Welcome to the party for A Deeper Love by Heidi Gray McGill!

What was that movie line about relationships built on intense experiences? Oh, yeah. They never work.

I get paid to do my dream job, usually by wealthy men who thrive on adventure. But when their adrenaline rush is gone and vacation is over, I’m still here, on a tropical island, with people who mostly leave me alone. And I like it that way.

Except for this guy. Seriously, Dan is the last man I want to get involved with. If he got Decompression Illness, the doctors would likely call it Mercedes Bends. He’s privileged and entitled and would never leave his city life behind for the challenges of living on a remote island. Which is a total relief, I’m telling you.

Don’t get me wrong—he’s prime shark bait, but I’m not ready to fall deeply in love with someone who won’t stay. There’s no such thing as going “too deep” where spiritual things are concerned. But when it comes to relationships, I’ll stay at the surface and snorkel rather than dive into the depths.

Take a trip to the Suamalie Islands where palm trees sway, the sand and sea pulse with life, and the people will steal your heart.

Question of the day:

What’s the best dad joke you’ve heard recently that has a family theme?

Okay, I have one for this.

“How do you make a hankie dance? You put a little boogie in it.”

Go ahead and roll your eyes. I’ll wait.

Done yet?

NO?

Okay.

Still waiting.

This joke has been in my husband’s family longer than I’ve been part of his family. His grandmother used to say it all the time. She loved to tell the boys this joke when they were toddlers. She even had a little hankie that she would wave around. I knew I had to use it for this week’s party question. It’s an oldie but a goodie.
