NOOK
Set up: Blondie shows up to join the party and ups the tension. Hyatt greets blondie and we find out her name is Kait. Hyatt asks her to join them for lunch and a game of darts. Of course Hyatt's damn sexy smile melts Kait's frosty entrance... well, somewhat anyway.
***Note: Snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. 
***************************************************************************************
Her hand feathered over the darts arranged—for the moment—harmless on the table. “I’ll go next, if ye’re fixin’ to play another round.”
Michaela wondered how wise it would be to let the woman have a weapon, but Alan didn’t notice the danger. “Go ahead. Give it yer best shot,” he told her.
Her slim hips sashayed back and forth before making her move. “Who’s yer new friend, Alan?” Kait asked as her dart attacked the board with a thud.
“Michaela’s from the States,” he offered and then turned toward her and added, “Michaela, let me introduce Kait MacDonald.”

Hmm... Does Kait have a thing for Alan?

Weekend Writing Warriors for Eight Sentence Sunday
I finally found some time to curl up with this book. I’m a couple of chapters into it, and loving the direction you’ve taken this story. You did a great job, Karen!
Jess,
Thanks so much. I so glad you’re enjoying the story! Thanks for telling me.
Well we have to mix things up, don’t we; if Michaela didn’t have some competition it wouldn’t be *quite* as exciting, for us anyway! Love your descriptions here. You really string us along!
Marcia,
Yes, we do need to fix things up. lol Or it wouldn’t be fun.
Ooh, all the undertones and subtexts make this really fun. I could visualize the scene perfectly – excellent excerpt!
Veronica,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet!
Well if Kait doesn’t have a thing for him, she is at least protective of him. I’m curious, where on the board did the dart land? Is Kait’s aim any good?
I’m loving the tension Michaela is feeling. Men never seem to pick up on that sort of thing between women. I wonder if Alan is as clueless as most guys would be.
Nicely done, Karen!
Kate,
It’s a little of both. 🙂
I was worried about the darts and relieved when she didn’t hurt Alan. You caught me with this great eight. Thanks.
Thanks so much. I believe Alan could handle his own. lol
Oh, competition.
Elaine,
It’s a must. lol
“From the States” might be a little mollification, but will it last?
Sue,
So true, but then…
Kait is a terrific character—the kind I love to grit my teeth over. 😀
Sarah,
Kait is a great gal. lol
Sounds like Kait is claiming her territory..
PT,
Yep, she is. lol
Nicely done, Karen. Kait’s not pleased with another vixen in the fox’s den. Great snippet. 🙂
Siobhan,
Thank you. Kait isn’t pleased. Michaela may not be either. lol
Michaela’s got some competition! I wonder if she’s already attached enough to Alan to want to fight for him.
Carrie-Anne,
Alan is worth the fight. 🙂
Ooh tension! Loved the way you set up the scene!
Gemma,
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the snippet!
“Michaela wondered how wise it would be to let the woman have a weapon” This sentence is priceless. It made me giggle.
