Welcome to “At First Sight Saturday.” Today’s guest is author, D. V. Stone who gives us a ‘first sight’ scene from her book Rock House Grill and introduces us to hero, Aden and heroine, Shay. Be sure to leave a comment to let Andrea know your thoughts about the scene.
Summary: In Rock House Grill the first meeting of Shay and Aden was unique. Aden had been in a car crash, and Shay was his rescuer. The two didn’t meet face to face until later in the story. But here is the scene from their initial interaction.
From Aden’s POV: “Easy, you’re going to be okay.” A soft voice eased through the chaos around him. The owner of the voice grabbed his arms and held them in a firm but gentle grip. “I’m right here with you. You are not alone.” “Can hardly m-move.” His voice slurred. “C-can’t see anything.” “You’ve been in an accident. I’m an EMT with the ambulance squad,” the velvety voice calmly explained. “You can’t see well because we’re under a tarp. Hold still, okay?” “‘K.” A small light flickered at the edge of his vision. It shone into a bag next to him. Penlight. “You’re restrained to a board. It’s to keep your head from moving and causing more injury.” She continued to talk to him. The voice reached down somewhere inside him, calming and peaceful, so he focused on it. A glow from spotlights on the outside lit whatever covered them. The shadow gave the woman the appearance of a halo—like an angel.
From Shay’s POV: “He’s was as wrecked as his car in the accident. It’s a miracle he survived. Especially his legs. But he had the nicest eyes. Brown. Warm.”

About D. V. Stone: Born in Brooklyn, D.V. Stone has moved around a bit and even lived for a time on a dairy farm in Minnesota before moving back east. Throughout her wandering, she always considered herself a Jersey Girl. She met and married the love of her life, Pete—a lifelong Jersey Man, and moved this time to Sussex County. They live with Hali, a mixed breed from the local shelter and their cat Baby. D.V.’s career path varied from working with the disabled to become a volunteer EMT, which in turn led to working in hospital emergency rooms and then in a women’s state prison. After a few years, she took a break from medicine and became the owner of Heavenly Brew, a specialty coffee shop in Sparta NJ, and a small restaurant in Lafayette. Life handed some setbacks, and she ended up back in the medical field, but this time in a veterinary emergency hospital.
