Welcome to Hump Day Hook, a weekly list of authors showcasing their work around the Internets. This is my very first time Hump Day Hooking so please be gentle with me 🙂 A big thanks to the wonderful peeps at Hump Day Hook for making this possible.
Right, on with the hook itself! This is a smidge from FOOL’S GOLD, book the second in The Diamond Series:
Expansively, Ethan exhaled. “A woman after my own heart. Careful, Miz Pearl, you keep anticipating my needs like this, and I just might have to court you proper.”
She snorted. “After all the fighting and fussing we subjected the town to? None would believe it.”
“Probably not. But I’d be moved to be convincing.”
“Of course you would.”
He arranged a pious look upon his features. “It would be the right thing to do. I like the town. I like its folk.” Hooking his fingers in her robe’s sash, he tugged her close. “I like you.”
“Do you?”
“Damn right.” And again he kissed her.
Very sexy. Loved it.
Thanks, Paloma! I glad you enjoyed 🙂
