Six Sentence Sunday

Another excerpt from 'His Leading Lady.' Jess is posing as her twin sister, Lora. At the end of an evening with Kyle Drummond, the director of Lora's new show, he's just kissed her...

When he released her, her breathing was ragged and she looked up at him, dazed and disorientated.

For a couple of seconds, Kyle looked just as strunned as she felt. His dark eyes stared down into hers before he took a deep breath and gave her a wry grin.

His lips brushed her mouth again in a brief parting kiss and even that burned through her. Still totally numb, she watched as he went into the lift and pressed the ground floor button She raised her hand slightly and, with a small smile, Kyle tilted his head in farewell.

'His Leading Lady' is available this month at 99 cents, as part of Whiskey Creek Press's 9th birthday celebrations, with 9 books for 99 cents each. You can buy it from the WCP website at http://bit.ly/rkTX0h

Wait, he just walked away?! TEASE. *insert Arnold saying, "I'll be back."*

Thank you, all - and yes, he walks away, but of course he WILL be back! Meantime, Jess has some thinking to do - come back next week!

Wonder if he's sampled Lora and found Jess much more to his taste. Wonderful plot possibilities.

Paula Martin said...

You could also wonder if he actually knows which twin he was kissing, Gem - LOL!

Joanne Stewart said...

Very intriguing! I've got a million questions. Like when he's going to figure out she's not her sister. And what he's going to say. And what her sister's going to say. And.... Good thing this is on my TBR pile. ;) Great six!

Paula Martin said...

All your questions will be answered when you read the book, Joanne :-) Thanks for buying it!
