Six Sentence Sunday

Another six sentences from my new novel, 'Changing the Future' which was released last month.

Blurb: Lisa Marshall is stunned when celebrated volcanologist Paul Hamilton comes back into her life at the college where she now teaches. Despite their acrimonious break-up several years earlier, they soon realise the magnetic attraction between them is stronger than ever. However, the past is still part of the present, not least when Paul discovers Lisa has a young son. They can’t change that past, but will it take a volcanic eruption to help them change the future?

This six comes straight after Lisa has caught sight of Paul for the first time on the college campus and made an excuse to avoid meeting him.


She bit her lower lip as memories constricted her throat, and then swallowed hard, took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. She could handle this, she really could.

After all, he was the one who’d accused her of having an affair and then left her. She had nothing to be ashamed of, except… A cold finger of fear ran down her spine. Except she’d never told him about his son.

'Changing the Future' is available at $3.99 on Amazon

Many thanks to everyone who visits my blog each Sunday and leaves such great comments for me :-)
