Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday. Thanks for stopping by. Today’s six are from my debut Fires of Justice releasing in-OMG-3 days on October 17 from Ellora’s Cave . The excerpt below follows the snippets I’ve been sharing over the last few weeks. Finally, Calista gets a rise out of Cullen, who starts the conversation below.
“I’m under orders, as are you.”
“Hey, grumpy, do I strike you as a woman who takes orders?” She scanned him up and down, her eyes lingering on some of his juicier parts. “Although with the right incentive, I might consider it, say, handcuffs? Do marked ones use toys or is it straight-up, standard fare?”
His bottom lip twitched, a hint of a curl teased the edges despite his best efforts to suppress it.
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.
I’d also invite you to join me on the blog tour starting October 18. Details coming in my next post. Swag, great conversations, lots of fun. Hope to see you.
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.

I really like her sense of humor. Very sly. Good luck with your release!
LOL… I loved her playfulness. Great six, Sabrina, and huge congrats on your release!!! Good luck!
Thanks Jess and Cera. Her sense of humor was a hoot to write. It lets my creativity fly, although I do find it hard to do, so I am glad you liked it.
I get the feeling she was being a little sarcastic when she mentioned the handcuffs. Her use of “grumpy” made me grin. I could just see this guy’s lip quiver! Congrats on your release!!
Indeed she was. She’s a bit of a snark but only when pushed. Thanks Carrie. I’m pretty excited.
I like her. They’re a pair who will throw sparks, aren’t they?
Yes, literally and figuratively. It’s fun to play with fire. Thanks Eleri, I like her too.

Oh, she knows how to push his buttons, good and bad.
All his buttons. That’s what makes it fun. Thanks for dropping by Jessica.
Thanks Karysa. I’m starting to feel a bit nervous if truth be told.
Love the “juicier parts” line! Three days til release? Woo-hoo! Congrats, Sabina!
