Six Sentence Sunday–1/1/12 Only Scandal Will Do

Happy New Year to all!  Hope everyone had a great time New Year’s Eve and arrived home safe and sound to start a new year of fantastic snippets.

My first six this year are from my Georgian novel, Only Scandal Will Do, due out in Spring/Summer from Lyrical Press.  Just recently got the cover art–which makes me VERY happy.

In this scene from Scandal, Duncan has just purchased a woman in a brothel auction and has come to claim his prize.

“Who are you, sir?”

“Your master, slave.”

Harsh words cloaked in a voice of deep velvet. A shiver of dread raced down Katarina’s body, as much from the words as from his tone. She gathered her courage and replied, “I am nobody’s slave. There has been a dreadful mistake.”

Looks like she’s not backing down–yet. 🙂
