Six Sentence Sunday


Another excerpt from ‘Her Only Option’. After Neve and Ross return from the tunnel to the burial chamber, he kisses her and tells her he wants to make love to her. When she turns towards the passage out of the burial chamber, he pulls her back.
 
“We both felt it. Why are you denying it?”
 
“I didn’t feel anything,” she lied.
 
Quickly she moved towards the passage, knowing she had to get away. Away from his hands, his mouth, his hard male body, and the transparent desire in his eyes. Away, too, from the sensations his kiss had aroused in her and from the churning tension in her stomach.
 
 
‘Her Only Option’ is still leading the Romance Novel poll in the Preditors and Editors 2012 poll. If you haven’t yet voted, I’d be very grateful for your vote at http://critters.org/predpoll/novelr.shtml
 
It’s about half way down the page, and you add your name and email at the bottom (and don’t forget the spam control!) You’ll get just one email with a link to click to validate your vote.

Voting ends tomorrow, and I’d be devastated if someone did a last minute sprint and pipped me at the post!

Many thanks!
 
 
'Her Only Option’ is available from Whiskey Creek Press and from Amazon, as e-book or paperback.

  10. Why would ANYONE want to move away from "his hands, his mouth, his hard male body, and the transparent desire in his eyes"? Sigh. Looking forward to reading the rest!

  11. I'm very nervous about the burial chamber too. As for his hard male body...I'm guessing she'll put it to good use. :)
