Welcome!
Today I’m sharing six sentences from my contemporary western titled Retreat available at all major ebook distribution sites, and also in paperback. More info here. These six come right after their first kiss (which was just way too many sentences to post here. Sorry lol)
His eyes danced over her face for a long moment before lifting his chin with resolve.
“My wife,” he paused over the word, “Laura, is the stable manager.”
She pulled out of his arms and backed a step away; the blood that colored her cheeks now sank to her toes. “Oh, oh God Jake … Jacob. I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” She covered her now-swollen lips with a tremulous hand.
“Yeah.” He adjusted his hat.
Retreat is the book that I always forget that I wrote. When I tell people about my books, I seem to always overlook this one, and when I opened it up today to find six sentences, I kept finding things that I’d forgotten all about. I should read this again! I swear I wrote it!
Anyway, enjoy all the other snippets from the rest of the S3 Participants, and we’ll see you next week!
Hmm, not surprised she was so shocked. Good Six!
Bad boy. Not like he was an innocent bystander! Intrigued by this set up.
do I detect the green eyed monster’s roar?
LOL Are you sure you wrote it?? 😛
He sounds like an interesting character. I’m V intrigued now
Touching his hat was the perfect touch.
LMAO, It’s funny… I feel like that about old works I’ve written — I guess time separates us emotionally from the piece and we’re able to see it as a reader rather than a writer 🙂
Fab six!
I loved this book!
His wife???!! Now that is interesting!!!!!!!
Hmmm. Now I’m filled with questions. Well done.
Oops. Sounds like things are going to get interesting
Intriguing six, and so awkward for her, well done!
Uh, oh! I’m guessing he and his “wife” are estranged? I hope for her sake. Her mortification comes through clearly! Well done!
Well doesn’t that just wreck a day!

Hat adjustment at the end had me sighing. Something about a man in a hat.
…oops!
Great tension there.
I agree with Vivien. Love a man in a hat. Great six.
