Six Sentence Sunday–Heart of Deception

Hello and welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday.  I really missed this last week and am so glad this venue is open again.   I am posting from a writer’s retreat deep in the Virginia countryside.  It has been a very productive weekend so far, so next week you’ll probably see the fruits of this labor.

This week I have six sentences from my historical romance, Heart of Deception that released last weekend.   Andrew and Celinda are about to put into motion a plan so that they can marry.  What Celinda doesn’t know is that Andrew is not really what he seems.  I hope you enjoy the following snippet!

 

His eyes roamed the room, resting at last on the pink and white ruffles adorning the coverlet on Celinda’s bed.  Her virginal bed.  He loosened his cravat and removed his coat.  After tonight, however. . .   He grinned into the empty room, pleased at how well the ruse had gone so far, and wondered if tonight would go as planned.  If only his conscience had not begun to nag him, to cause him to doubt the reasoning behind the whole ploy.  

Hope you enjoyed my six.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you thought.  Heart of Deception, is now available for purchase from Books To Go Now!, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

For more great snippets please go to Six Sentence Sunday.  Or join in the fun next week with six of your own.  

FYI Sixers–I will be moving to the Washington, DC area for the summer and I leave today.  So I will be visiting your sites later in the week once I buy a new computer!  Happy Six!
