Six Sentence Sunday - A Knight in Cowboy Boots #8


 Back for another Six Sentence Sunday.


Who would guess that this would lead to a romance? Some guys are just impossible to drive off.




She jerked the gun free and, with both hands throttling the grip, pointed it as she turned.

  “Whoa!” Instinctively, Zach backed up another step, his hands rising in the air, not in surrender, but as though denying he was any kind of threat.

 He looked at her cautiously. If he had any sense, he’d look a lot more scared, Maddie thought. Couldn’t he see the way her hands were shaking?




You can find a longer excerpt here. A Knight in Cowboy Boots is available at Amazon and other ebook vendors.


Other six sentence excerpts of mine can be found here.

    If he sticks around after this, I bet he'll stay through anything. ;)

    I loved the emotion in her shaking hands and his reaction to the weapon; the subtle understanding of surprise and caution. Well done!

    My WIP will be out at the end of the year. I saw you were from Bothell, WA. That's where I grew up! Small world! :)

    Nice. I'd be far more afraid of someone holding a gun who obviously didn't know how to use it!
