Six Sentence Sunday–Speed Date

Hello and welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday.  Thank you so much for visiting every week.  Last week, as I mentioned, I went to a writer’s retreat and accomplished quite a lot in four days.

One of the fruits of that labor of love was my current WIP, a contemporary romance called Speed Date.  On a dare, 32-year -old Roberta has agreed to do an evening of speed dating.  Date No. 8 is Gabriel, who turns out not to be the typical speed dater.  As promised, here are six from this brand new work.

“You want to get out of here when the gong sounds again and go grab some dinner, maybe?”

Talk about a speed date.  But I was hooked. “You don’t think they’ll mind if we leave?”

“We paid them.”  He smiled and his gaze took me in, head to toe as he said,  “I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth.”

Hope you enjoyed my new six.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you thought of Speed Date.

And remember my newly released  Heart of Deception, is now available for purchase from Books To Go Now!, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble and Hog Wild from New Dawning International Bookfair.

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

    Jenna,
    Once again you tempt our palate with your six and leave us wanting more. So, do we get more next week or are you going to leave us hanging like I sometimes do?

      Thanks, Lindsay! 🙂 I always want to leave you wanting more. I’m not sure yet if you’ll get more Speed Date, or something from the medieval I’m working on. Or maybe six from the Victorian I just finished. The possibilities seem endless. Shall I flip a coin?
