Six Sentence Sunday - Knight of Hearts #3
Back again, Sixers and fans, with another snippet from Knight of Hearts. This comes early in the story when Mac is talking with Rachel about getting back into the dating pool after the end of his twelve year marriage. Contrary as ever, Rachel has just accused him of only looking for "a good time."
Knight of Hearts is Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever ebooks are sold
