SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY–WEEK TWO

I can’t believe it’s Sunday again already!  This week has flown by, but I’m really excited to be posting my six this week from Only Scandal Will Do, my WIP currently completed and out with agents.

The scene is London, the time March 1761.  These are the opening six where we meet the heroine:

   “Put her back in the carriage, now.”

   Her assailant’s gravelly voice next to her ear sent a shiver of fear through Lady Katarina Fitzwilliam.  Violent hands seized her and tossed her back into the carriage.

   Now she was gagged, her hands pinioned behind her back, and her ankles bound together.  Trussed like a Christmas goose, she could only lie in a cramped bundle on the hard plank floor of the dim carriage, her diaphanous Grecian costume in ruins, and scheme how to get out of this predicament.  The horses jerked forward and the uneven cobblestones of the London streets jounced her already aching body.

There are my six for this week.  Hope you enjoyed meeting Lady Katarina.  If so, check out more authors as they post their six sentences or join us next week at

Come back next Sunday for a peek at my Victorian WIP–As Long As You’re Mine.
