~Blind Draw~
by Annie Up
When they were engaged, Tom joked to Tina that he would have affairs after they were married. Tina merely smiled and promised Tom that if he did, she would have three for every one of his. How would Tom dare to risk those odds? Tom traveled as a professional poker player, true, but Tina never hurt for male admirers when she wanted them. And...she was psychic. Years later, when Tom (“The Seven Card Stud”) had come to realize that there was far more to Tina than met the eye, he would be forced to look at their son and realize that his own actions meant he now had to question the boy’s paternity. The young man was, after all, nothing like Tom.
And Tina was always honest. Had she meant her promise? If so, who were the three? Tom couldn’t make any accusations without pointing the finger at himself.

Oh, what a fix Tom has put himself in. . .and what a smart woman is Tina! I'd love to watch this play out, the cat and mouse, as Tom tries to figure out how to find the truth without opening Pandora's box. Excellent twists!
ReplyDeleteThose two deserve each other! I'd love to read more and find out if Tina had kept her promise.
ReplyDeleteSo presumably Tom had only the one? Intriguing promise here.
ReplyDelete"Seven card stud" says it all :) You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's good for the goose is good for the gander - or vice versa. Trouble is, the goose has more to answer for! Intriguing blurb - would love to read the book!!
ReplyDeleteDNA to the rescue! 3x? is quite a lot!
ReplyDeleteToo bad this is a fake book!!! I would love to know what Tina had been up to! HAHAHAHAHA!!
ReplyDeleteI left a comment yesterday, but I guess blogger pulled a prank with me.
ReplyDelete"The Seven Card Stud"--what a wonderful name. AND, I loved that you were able to tie the blinds in the photo into your title and remain true to the card theme.(The author's name is cute, too!)
Tammy--You're obviously having a great summer, if you can produce stuff like this!
Ohhhhhhh, this is gonna be good!!! Revenge of the 'weaker' sex prevails here, I'm sure. Seven Card Stud indeed...he surely didn't know that his Tina had the better hand at life!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a pleasure for me that you take time to stop by and leave your wonderful comments!!
Holiday Weekend Shadows is my link. Hope your day is treating you well!!!!
Oh, that was very clever, Tammy! I'm inclined to think Tina was completely faithful, and just enjoyed messing with Tom's head all those years...LOL!
