Welcome to week 151st
week of My
Sexy Saturday. This
week’s theme is My Sexy Crush. It’s been
years since I’ve had a crush but I can still remember the pull on the heart
strings and the flutter in the stomach. So, when trying to find the perfect
snippet, I went to my current story because the hero and heroine had mutual
crushes on each other when they were young. It was the closest I could get.
Life has been kicking my butt
this month with the new house. So much to do, so little time. One positive
thing is that I did get wonderful internet here, so I have no more excuses. I
will be back on track with the Monday’s Scoop and My So-Called Writing Life
Columns this week. And boy do I have a lot to share! Including the fact that I’m
still not at my desk but a smaller tablet that doubles for meals. Ugh!
Please visit all the awesome
authors of My Sexy Saturday. This is a fun place to test the waters for books
and authors as each will share a sexy snippet with you. Every book is special
and even though a theme is given each week, authors are not required to follow
it exactly as every author has their own definition of sexy.
This week, I’m going back to
my latest release, Sealed With A Kiss, found in Letterbox Love Stories. This story was
so fun to write and is part of my new series Time Travel Bureau. This novella
with be the kick off story and will be sold as a single title early next year. Here’s
the set up for this wonderful novella:
In 2084, time travelling detective, Tandi Reynolds,
tipped off by a letter, needs to stop an assassin before he kills a newly
elected leader. When she finds him in 1874, Vienna, it’s clear a cold blooded
killer is only one of her problems. Time is fleeting, so falling in love with
her contact, the charismatic Count
Leopold Radetzky von Radetz, is a bad idea, but keeping her feelings in check
is not easy when she relies on him for her every need.
Here’s my seven paragraphs from this great story:
She slowly sat up and drew her legs under her. “I supposed it
would be too much to ask if you have an aspirin hiding somewhere…would it?”
“They should have packed you one in that silly little suitcase
they sent with you.”
His accent was smooth, too smooth. She leaned in closer. “Do I
know you?”
“I don’t know…should you?” He gave his head a toss and a shake,
as if posing or possibly flinging water off himself.
She squinted at his profile, taken back to a time when she was
young and her father traveled with the armed services of the US. Since they had
family in Austria, he took a position for a few years in Germany. There she met
all sorts of people and a kid named Leo who spoke English as well as she did.
They were inseparable that first summer slowly growing apart as her time to
leave got close.
She had been only twelve at the time and tried to keep up with
him through letters as well as cards during the holidays. But somewhere in high
school, they totally drifted apart and the exchanges stopped.
“You,” she whispered, reaching out to grab him by his lapels and
drag him closer. Yup. Same eyes, same boyish grin with a touch of
devil-may-care. “So that’s why I got the letter.”
