'Fragrance of Violets' was released on February 1st and you can see a preview of the first chapter at Whiskey Creek Press http://bit.ly/yy73N9
Here are this week's six sentences from near the end of Chapter 1, when Abbey meets Jack for the first time since his return to her home village in the English Lake District:
Jack Tremayne stepped into the dim light cast by one of the car park lamps and Abbey caught her breath.
His dark sweatshirt stretched across wide shoulders and broad chest, and mid-blue jeans encased his slim hips and long legs. No longer a teenage boy, but a man whose compelling figure exuded confident masculinity. Something deep inside her turned a double somersault.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Resentment at her involuntary reaction to him lent an extra sharp tone to her voice.
More next week!

Do you ever know how to tease us. Great six! :)
Damn him for being hot, right?
Can't wait to see what he'll answer! Great six
What a great description!
Oh, lord, he sounds SO gorgeous! I cannot WAIT to finally get a chance to read this! (I finally got my Valentine's Day novella 'processing' on Amazon, have to fix some problems with my CreateSpace editions and THEN, I can finally give myself a holiday) GREAT six! :)
Whoa. I like what I "see."
I agree with Stephanie! Yum! Great description of him and her reaction!
Thank you all, so pleased you all like your first sight of Jack! I am totally in love with this guy LOL!
Definitely a great walk-on moment for Jack.
Ohh, nice. Love her dialogue after watching her reaction to him.
I'm turning double somersaults at his description.
Actually...you had me at the name Jack Tremayne - very dignified and lyrical. I always struggle with character names.
Nice six! I love Jack's description in her POV.
Great job! Super six!
ooh double somersaults are good :-)
Thank you all, I like double-somersaults too - and yes, he does have a great walk-on moment, doesn't he?
Skye, it's funny you should mention his name. To start with, I couldn't think what to call him, so decided just to call him Jack until I thought more about his name. But then somehow he 'became' Jack, and I couldn't change it!
Wonderful description. Loved the double somersault. :)
What, did he think she'd just melt all over him? Great six, Paula. :)
Thanks, Cate and LOL, Siobhan!
Ah, she meets him again at last! Like the deep double somersault. :)
Oooh, sounds like a handsome fellow!
Great snippet!
