Well, even though I'm ass-deep in alligators trying to juggle getting two books up in audio format, attempting a big sale this weekend, AND somehow getting time to work on my WIP, I simply could not miss saying 'BYE! to you all and thanking Sara Brookes for being the originator and coordinator for this wonderful Six Sentence Sunday ride we've all been on.
I've found some great reads and made some fast friends along the way. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to stop by and sit a spell, leave a comment, make me laugh, share my blog addy on one of the social networks. Much love.
Today, I decided to give you six from the first book in my Highlands Trilogy, Highland Vengeance. It's on sale through Wednesday, January 30, for only $0.99, so grab a copy if you like steamy historicals.
Micro-mini Blurb:
Set in the turn of the thirteenth century Scottish Highlands, this is
the story of Daniel MacLaurin, a handsome, rugged warrior-laird haunted
by his past, and Maryn Donald, the beautiful, high-spirited lass
destined to help him find his heart's ease.
A Family Saga / Adventure Romance

Six Sentences:
Suddenly realizing that all conversation around her had come to a halt, Maryn lifted her gaze from her trencher and saw that Laird MacLaurin watched her with a strange light in his eyes. She felt the instant flush of heat on her neck and face. She’d clearly sickened the man with her eager feeding! “‘Tis just that I’ve had naught to eat since last eve....”
The young laird grinned at her and grabbed an extra large piece of mutton off of her trencher, then stuffed it in his mouth and chewed happily.

This unexpected show of camaraderie allowed her to relax and even smile at his antics.
