Another
six from my contemporary romance, ‘Changing the Future’.
Paul
was stunned to see Lisa at Hillside College. It was the last place he’d
expected to meet her again. They’d had a brief and curt conversation when they’d
first met earlier in the day. At the end of the afternoon, he goes to see her.
This is from his POV and he speaks first.
“We
need to talk.”
“Do
we?”
He
couldn’t tell whether the expression in her dark eyes was uncertain or icy cold.
“Yes, I didn’t know you were at Hillside, otherwise…”
Now
there was no mistaking her hostile glare. “Otherwise you wouldn’t have come a
million miles near here?”
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.
'Changing the Future' is available at $3.99 on Amazon
The
latest review said:
“I really liked both these characters. Assumptions, pride, and
hurt feelings ruined their wonderful relationship five years ago. But that
underlying love they felt for each other then hasn't disappeared. It's just
been buried deep under hurt feelings. But they're both adults and professionals
and work really hard to maintain a decent relationship at school...but that
quickly morphs into something more for them. That chemistry is still there.”
Many
thanks to everyone who visits my blog each Sunday and leaves such great
comments for me :-)
PS I am
attending the UK Romantic Novelists' Association annual conference this weekend.
If I am not too exhausted after what promises to be a packed schedule of talks
and workshops, I will try to visit the other Six Sentence blogs later on
Sunday!

Nice tension! Good six.
Oh geez. He has his work cut out for him. Great tension.
I like how he's not certain of his welcome but it becomes clear real quick! Nice six, Paula.
So much tension there. Could be good or bad. Nice six! :)
I gather both their feelings are somewhat muddled at this point--but not indifferent.
Great tense moment.
He's really in a damned if he does/damned if he doesn't situation with her. So intense. Great six, Paula! Hope you're having fun at the conference.
Nice comeback, Lisa. But if he's angry enough he could wing the answer she thinks she wants to hear. Great six, Paula. :)
wow what tension! great 6!
So much tension between them, so much evidently not settled (as we do know from your earlier hints and the blurb). Well done six!
Ouch! Sounds like he's got some explaining to do! Great conflict in this. Can't wait to see his response.
Sounds intriguing! She's definitely got some issues to work out with him!

Loved this book! Five stars :-)
It's interesting, how different the six sentences are now that I "know" the characters so well now. :-)
Thank you all. So pleased you are 'feeling' the tension between them!
A special thank you to Teresa for buying and reading the book, and giving it such a wonderful review on Amazon :-)
