Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks for coming back to see me this week! I decided to post a snippet from a WIP this time. The working title is A Second Chance at Forever. Here's the blurb:

Working two jobs to help her mother pay off overgrown medical bills and recently divorced, Angela Lewis’ life has no room for love. Her heart cannot handle being broken again. But when her childhood crush finds her at the nightclub where she works as sexy stripper Candy Cane and expresses an interest, she can’t resist. She only wants one night to live in the fantasy Candy provides.

Alex McKinley is still trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life, and one night with Candy is exactly what he needs to propel him into finally moving on. He gets more than he bargained for, however, when he discovers she’s his best friend’s kid sister. He hasn’t seen her in fifteen years, but suddenly little Angie’s all grown up and driving him crazy with desire.

When Angela discovers she’s pregnant, Alex knows he’ll stand by her, but the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself falling for the woman she’s become. She heals his wounded heart and makes him want to live again. The question is, can Alex convince Angela to take a chance on him?

This snippet is taken from the first chapter, the initial meet. Alex is in a strip club in Vegas, as part of a bachelor party for a friend, where he's run across the heroine. He's trying to convince her to go out with him. He has no idea at this point who she really is. Funny part about this particular snippet is I didn't plan for either of them to say any of this. These two completely took over my book.

“I promise I don’t bite.” He grinned and winked at her.

That earned him another throaty laugh.

Then she bent over him, hands braced on his thighs, her luscious mouth inches from his own. The heat of her palms singed his skin even through his jeans, her warm breaths puffing against his lips as she stared him dead in the eye. “What if I do?”

Six Sentence Sunday

This week's six comes from my WIP, The Playboy's Baby, which is currently sitting with Harlequin (and has been for 9 months now).

Here's the blurb:

They share a past—one neither of them can forget.

When an accident leaves her guardian to her six month old niece, Emma Stanton must return to her small hometown of Hastings, Montana to find the one man she’s spent the last eight years trying to forget. Not only must she share the news of her sister’s tragic death, but she must also risk the only family she has left as she tells him he’s the baby’s father. Can she stick to her resolve and resist the playboy’s charms—again?

All wealthy nightclub owner Dillon James wants is to be the father his daughter needs. He’s been used for his name and money one too many times in his life and has no desire to risk his heart to love again. Yet falling for Emma as they struggle to share the duties of raising a baby has Dillon thinking that perhaps it’s time he took a chance on love.

But will Emma agree?

And now for the snippet:

Trying her hardest not to envision Dillon completely naked in his room, she made her way back to the kitchen to clean up the lunch dishes.

The sight that greeted her as she emerged from the hallway stopped her cold. Dillon stood in front of the coffee pot, spooning grounds into the brew basket. Wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his lean hips.

“Morning, Em,” he said, his tone so casual she almost wanted to laugh.

“Um…hi,” was all that would leave her desert dry throat.
