Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday. Thanks for stopping by. Today’s six are from my debut Fires of Justice releasing October 17 from Ellora’s Cave and follows from the snippet I last shared last week. For those of you who have visited before, I’ve given the blog a new look. Like haircuts, its good to make a dramatic change every now and then. Anyhoo, onward with Six Sentence Sunday.
“You’re one sexy dude but not much fun. How’d you get so cold for a fire elemental?”
“This isn’t a game, witch. Let’s go upstairs and get it over with.”
This joker needed to lighten up. She was not having sex with the ice giant here, no matter what vows she made and how tasty he looked.
I’d love to know what you think. And take a hop around the web and visit the other fabulous writers on Six Sentence Sunday.
Book Blurb
Always read the fine print when swearing an eternal oath to gods and guardians…
Beholden by the sacred vows of her coven, fire witch Calista Reid agrees to temporarily mate with shifter Cullen McMahan to fulfill a mission assigned by the guardians. When tall, dark and damaged arrives on her doorstep, generating enough heat to scorch a fire witch, Calista finds herself drawn to his battle-hardened body and broken soul. His pain speaks to her own deep-rooted isolation and the intensity of his hunger slakes her passion like no other.
Cullen, scarred by a past that left him an indentured soldier to the guardians, resents yet another hump-on-command assignment…until he encounters the compassionate, fearless, incendiary redhead who detonates his body and reawakens the emotions sacrifice and loss had suppressed. But Cullen harbors a terrible secret—one that reaches back into Calista’s troubled childhood and threatens the foundation of their growing bond.

They sound like quite the pair. Good luck with your release. I’m going to have to look into getting this book. There’s something about a steamy romance that makes the winter months seem more tolerable.
Thanks Jess. I feel you, steamy romances are a must for the winter. I’ve already started stocking up.
Love your heroine’s attitude! I bet she melts him.
Eventually. Takes awhile but that’s what makes it fun. Thanks.
Great conflict in these six! Congrats on your debut…
Thanks Cera. I hope A Hunter’s Blade is doing well with its release.
The oxymoron – hot ice – definitely springs to mind. This is shaping up to be scorching. Brill 6!
Thanks Krystal. The hot ice imagery is perfect. Love it.
Sounds like she’s just the one to warm up the ice giant.
Interesting six!
Ultimately, they warm each other up. Thanks for dropping by.
“Ice Giant” << Funny! She'll melt his heart.
Thanks Carrie. Glad you stopped by.
Really enjoyed your six…great heroine!
Thanks Christine. Glad you came by for a visit.
What fun banter between these two. Love the “let’s get it over with” line!
Thanks Sandra. I like the line myself. It really shows where his head is at.
“Get it over with”??? Now that’s a sexy comeon a girl wants to hear! Not.
She’s got a lot of work to do. That’s the fun.
Going upstairs to “get it over with” may be his plan, but somehow I don’t think it’s going to be that simple.
Great six!
Thanks Ryan. Good thing plans change. Simple is rarely fun.
Great six – hope she’ll be able to melt him!
We shall see. She has a few tricks up her sleeve, and being a witch doesn’t hurt.
“…get it over with.” He DID. NOT.
Ain’t he cute? It’s so much fun to break them.
This sounds like fun! Wonderful job on the six. I will look for it on the 17th. Congrats on your debut! Welcome to EC.
Thanks so much. I’m really glad o be on EC.
How much longer do I have to wait for this one? Ten days?!? *sigh* I love these two characters. She’s sassy. He’s…an ice giant.
Loved today’s snippet.
Thanks Silver. I’m counting seconds on my fingers although there is so much to do to prepare for the launch. I’m doing everything but writing but that will come.
