It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 4th tidbit from my Historical Romance, The Devil's Wolf.
Short Blurb: When Archie Maxwell is accused falsely of killing a Johnstone, his brother, Waylon, known as the Devil's Wolf, sets out to save him. His bargaining tool is the Johnstone's daughter, Catrione. He plans to ransom her for his brother's release, but once he lays eyes on her, his plans take another turn.
In this scene: Waylon has no intentions of falling for his wife's charms, but he finds he's intrigued by her and wants to know her better. Hmm...Do you think he truly stands a chance? Now for the six....
(Catrione)She looked at him, with those turbulent green eyes. He hadn't noticed before how they were framed with dark, thick lashes that were so long they curled back.
"I was supposed to marry for love." Her voice caught and she took a deep breath, obviously wishing she hadn't revealed her secret. She tried to pull away once more, but he wouldn't let her go.
"Love is for fools. Mi'lady, ye are too cunning for such a fantasy."
I hope you enjoyed the six.

Oh Waylan, you silly, silly man. LOL Nice, Karen.
Hi Mac,
He can deny all he wants, but you know he’s going to cave. lol
Love the language and the underlying sexual tension. Great six!
Thanks so much Mae. 🙂
Something tells me it’s going to be Waylon who gets schooled about love, not Catrione. Good six!
Hi Linda,
Yeah, he could use a little schooling. lol Thanks for popping in. 🙂
Poor guy doesn’t stand a chance, does he? Don’t ya love it? Great six, Karen. I could visualize it in my mind’s eye.
