Six Sentence Sunday — Read the Six, Take the Poll #SixSunday
Welcome to “Six Sentence Sunday”. Thank you for visiting and especially for any comments you’d care to leave.
This teaser comes from my novella coming May from Evernight Publishing called “All’s Fair in Love and War.” Shelby and her supervisor, Colin, have a rather volatile working relationship. Here’s yet one more exchange between them, Colin speaking first:
“Princess, somebody needs to teach you a lesson in humility.”
“And you think you’re the man to do it?” She moved closer to him, too close. “I’d like to see you try.” She raised her chin, defiant, daring him to do what she seemed pretty confident he didn’t have the nerve or bad judgment to do.
His jaw clenched as he raged inside at her silent challenge, his gaze locked with hers in a death match of wills.
Oooh, what do you think happens next? Let’s have a little fun and take a poll.
If you enjoyed this tantalizing little nibble, check out the host site, Six Sentence Sunday, for links to more snippets from some very talented writers.
I had to pick the duel thing, just ’cause I thought it was funny. 🙂 Hopefully that’s it, though I suspect kissing might be involved. Nice 6, Lila!
I think Colin will take her challenge. Great six!
Ooh, she’s going to be handful, lol! Love it! Great six!
Wow, she’s a scrappy one! I like her already. 🙂 I’m thinking she mouths off to him some more.
Great six…you write some snappy dialogue and I loved the poll…how FUN!
Hey, she’s good! I’m thinking he’ll weasel out — then beat himself up for not taking her challenge.
Like almost everyone, I’m hoping for the duel! 😉 And this line is perfect: “…his gaze locked with hers in a death match of wills.”
Probably didn’t guest right but I liked the snottiness of the line.
And on another note…. WANT!
I love the poll daddy, Ms. Shaw! You can cut the tension between these two with a knife. I can’t wait to read the story. HOT cover!
Great tenstion-filled dialogue. I went for the duel too, though I suspect kissing might eventuallu ensue!
Yummy tension!
