Six Sentence Sunday – Rough Diamond pt 6 #sixsunday

Well, Six Sentence Sunday is here again. Yay! Big thanks to the peeps behind this wonderful initiative, and an extra special thanks for all the people who take the time to comment on my six sentences. You guys rock!

So, this week, I have some Big Awesome Fantastic News – ROUGH DIAMOND has been contracted to Decadent Publishing! Huzzah! ROUGH DIAMOND tells the tale of a lady saloon owner and the seemingly empty-headed Englishman who wants to purchase her saloon – sparks fly, people swoon, etc and so forth. More deets as they arrive!

So, in honour of this, the following six is from ROUGH DIAMOND. Enjoy Alice and Rupert!

Rupert glanced down at Alice, absently noting she was three and a quarter inches shorter than him. Not too short.

Shocked at the thought, he pulled himself up. Not too short for what? Abruptly, he could smell violet water and musk, and knew it to be the scent of her hair. A kind of heat flashed through him, and he had an overwhelming desire to feel her bare skin against his.

Thanks for stopping by, peeps! And please keep coming back for updates on ROUGH DIAMOND!

    First, CONGRATS! And second, I love how he knows exactly the difference in height. Not that he’s studying her or anything, right? LOL.

    1. Cassandra Dean

      Yeah, I wonder why he’s noticing everything about her so intensely? ;p
