Six Sentence Sunday - After the Kiss


It's Sunday here in the UK so, for Six Sentence Sunday, here is another excerpt from my newly released 'His Leading Lady' which continues the aftermath of Jess and Kyle's sizzling first kiss (when Jess is pretending to be her twin sister). For anyone new to Six Sunday, please look back to my previous Sunday posts.

She looked at herself again in the mirror and tried to calm her thudding heart. 

She was wearing Lora’s clothes, Lora’s make-up, Lora’s hairstyle. 

Of course, he’d thought that he was kissing Lora, not her, and she’d responded as Lora, hadn’t she?

So that was some damn good play-acting, Jess! 

Except that it didn’t explain her own response.  Not just the way she’d responded to his kiss, but all those other feelings that she didn’t even want to think about.

 'His Leading Lady' (#4 in Whiskey Creek Press bestseller list) now available as e-book and paperback from www.whiskeycreekpress.com or from Amazon http://amzn.to/opp1ky

  24. Thanks you all for your comments.

    The conflict is only just beginning. Taking on someone else's identity, even though only temporarily, can lead to all kinds of problems!
