For these final two weeks of Six Sentence Sunday, I’ll give
you teasers from ‘Dream of Paris’ which will be released next month.
Anna is a teacher at a high school, and is trying to quell
her attraction to the new Deputy Headteacher, Matt Carlton. This excerpt takes
place at the school prom when, to Anna’s delight, she finds herself dancing
with Matt – even though they are swaying to the music about a foot away from
each other. But then fate steps in -
When a group of girls started to back into them, Matt caught
her hand and moved her sideways out of their way. At the same time, he slipped
his arm round her and drew her closer. Automatically she brought her hand up to
his shoulder, and he swung them both into a pivot, which carried them away from
the other dancers.
His leg pressed between hers as they turned, and the melting
sensation in her stomach became a flood of arousal. Hot pulses of pleasure
throbbed through her, and her mind shut down, allowing a million pinpricks of
desire to run riot.
He smiled down at her and his dark eyes softened as his arm
tightened around her.
Here’s the (provisional) blurb for 'Dream of Paris':
Anna
Richards has a dream of going to live and study in Paris, but when Matthew
Carlton comes into her life, her dream changes direction. Attraction sparks
between them, but Matt’s behaviour is strangely inconsistent. Anna is shocked
when she discovers the reason and is sure there is no future for them. Can
Paris work its magic and make her dream come true?
A huge thank you to everyone who voted for me in the
Preditors and Editors 2012 Poll. When voting ended last Monday, 'Her Only Option' was in 1st
place in the Romance Novel Category! The ‘official’ announcement of the results
hasn’t yet been made but hopefully, once everything has been checked and
verified, I’ll retain that top place.

Oh, I think it's time to leave the dance and find a private room. ;) Great six!
Love your six! These two are sizzling! :)
Not sure they can do that during a school prom, Jessica!
Thanks, Lorraine :-)
"A million pinpricks of desire", I love that!
Hmm, probably not the right place and time for these particular feelings LOL. I hope they can find somewhere private...really a great six and the story's premise is intriguing.
Congratulations on the first place finish! That's wonderful!
And a big thank you to that group of girls. I'm not sure why but I had a sense that this was a long time coming for Anna, and might not have happened without the crowding of the students.
Thanks, Dana :-)
Veronica, you're right, too many students around!
Thanks, Kate, and yes, it was a long time coming, and the evening doesn't end as she hope, either!
Yes, Romance between the teachers could really give the students the wrong idea.
Oh the temptation. Love it, Paula. That was really fun to read. Congratulations on ending the voting in 1st place, that is exciting.
Very young love and sweet and sexy. Beautiful six!
Lots of chemistry in this snippet! Good luck with your upcoming release.
This snippet is as smooth as the music and his dance steps. Beautifully executed.

Ohh, sexy description, Paula. Sounds like quite a dance. ;)
Sue - yes, they'll have to be very discreet. As a former teacher, I know it does happen, though!
S.J. Thanks - on both counts!
Thanks, Gem, but maybe not so young!
Thanks, Jess - yes, the chemistry is there, but Matt is fighting it!
Thanks, Casey :-)
Dancing can be so sexy, Joanne!
Lovely snippet :-)
Oh, love that he seems as aroused as she is! I feel a HEA coming... :)
He doesn't seem to be unaffected either. Great six, Paula. :)
Congratulations, Paula!
Love the premise of teachers falling in love. Yes, they're people, too. :-)
Thanks, Sandra
Dianne - they'll have to sort a few things out before they get their HEA!
You're right, Siobhan, but he's fighting it!
Thanks, Karysa - and I know several couples who first met when they were teaching at the same school.
Nice snippet, Paula. Dang! You can paint a picture with words. :-) Good six :-)
Thanks, Teresa :-)
Oh, boy. This is so tender and awesomely delicious!
