Six Sentence Sunday #17

This week I thought I'd pretend I'm remotely good at self-promo, and share six sentences from my December 27 Samhain romance release, Headstrong (aka the New Zealand love-triangle book). The basic deal: Libby Prentiss has an unrequited crush on Reece Nolan; Reece's brother Colin has an unrequited crush on Libby. Colin is bartending at the Nolan family's pub, and Libby is sitting across from him.

From where he leaned against the back counter, Colin flung a coaster at Libby that bounced benignly off her forehead. She raised her chin to fix him with a stare, and her wide lips twisted into a haughty smirk. Colin was willing to bet this was exactly how her face would look as she coaxed the zipper down the front of his jeans.

“Don’t make me hurt you, Nolan.”

He flashed her an unapologetic grin.
God, if only.


Thanks for swinging by, everyone! Now head here to check out all the other Six Sentence Sunday excerpts this week.

  6. Aw, poor Colin's got it bad. I like him - his sense of humor and his unique coaster-chucking flirtation strategy.

  7. Gotta love an unrequited-crush chain.

    My favorite bit was how it was the haughty smirk that gave him R-rated thoughts. ;)
