Welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday. My thanks again to those who visit me every week and those who are visiting for the first time. I do appreciate comments so please, let me know what you think of my six.
This week I thought you might like to see some of Rafael’s interview with Samantha’s father–the morning after. Enjoy!
Rafael Beauregard forced himself to relax before the irate father, affecting an attitude of contrition that he did not particularly feel. After all, he hadn’t invited the chit to his bed, although he should have thrown her out of it once he figured out what she wanted. But he hadn’t known it wasn’t. . . . .
“Lord Clarendon, this has been a case of mistaken identity, or mistaken bedrooms on your daughter’s part I believe. I arrived late last night, well after dinner, was shown to my room, and went to bed. What took place thereafter,” he paused and could not repress a smile, “was the stuff dreams are made of.”
Hope you enjoyed these six from As Long As You’re Mine. For more great snippets please go to Six Sentence Sunday. Or join in the fun next week with six of your own.
If you’d like to see more of my work, check out my previous post, “Christmas in July” and enjoy a free read.
And remember 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.

I love these characters! Rafe’s last line is priceless, but I doubt if it’s the sort of thing a father wants to hear about his daughter.

They didn’t use the term “rake” by the late Victorian period, when the novel is set, but it kind of sums up his rather cavalier attitude. He is quite cocky–pun intended! LOL Thanks, Jennifer.

Rafe appears to be honest to the point of foolishness. Or is he? Might he have an ulterior motive? The worm turns. Great snippet, Jenna!

Or is he just cocky enough to bait an angry Papa Bear? We’ll see what next week brings. Thanks for stopping by, Trish!

Ah, yeah right. Wrong Rafe but the chit has been compromised so unless he, Rafe, this one, doesn’t want to meet the father before they break their fast, choice of weapons being to the agreived, doesn’t want to end up in the parson’s mousetrap he’d better do some fancy fast talking. And god help Rafe if there are any brothers around.
I’m loving this story more and more

And waking up in the same bed together, both a natural, or close to it as possible, isn’t introduction enough then what is.
