Good Morning! This is my first week participating in Six Sentence Sunday and today my six sentences are from my historical romance short story “Heart of Deception,” which is under contract and will be available shortly from Books to Go Now.
In the story, Celinda Graham—young, naïve, passionate—is head-over-heels in love with Andrew Finley, and insists on marrying him. Unfortunately, Andrew’s family has been feuding with Celinda’s for generations. When her father refuses to allow the marriage, however, Andrew has a plan:
“Celinda, I have an idea of how we can get your father’s approval for our marriage, and quickly, but it’s rather daring. I don’t know if you would agree to it.” His eyes glinted with a roguish flare. “I don’t know if you should agree to it.”
As if an icicle had been drawn down her spine, gooseflesh rose on Celinda’s arms. She could barely whisper, “What is it, Andrew?”
Hope you enjoyed this teaser from “Heart of Deception.” If you’d like to read more great snippets or join in the fun, check out the Six Sentence Sunday site:

Join me next Sunday for a look at one of my WIPs–Only Scandal Will Do.
Jenna Jaxon Romance--because passion is timeless. 
I’m a total sucker for all things historical. Loved the icicle simile bit. Now, I want to know what he has to suggest!

Me too! I love reading in all the periods. But to find out his suggestion you’ll have to wait a while–I’ll post more of “Heart” when it comes out, but I’m not sure when that will be. I’ll keep SSS posted, though. 🙂

Thanks so much, Lindsay! I just sent the contract in to Books To Go Now! so I’m not sure how quickly they will move on it. But another author for their company says they are very prompt. Keep checking back. I’ll put up the release date as soon as I know myself. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Love your pic, BTW! He/she looks very sweet. 🙂

Great six, Jenna! I always loved those lines. It definitely paints Andrew as somewhat wicked–in a good way, of course!
