It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the fourth tidbit from my upcoming release (August 2012) with The Wild Rose Press: Magic of the Loch.
Location: Drumnadrochit Scotland, which lies at the head of Urquhart Bay on Loch Ness and is the focal point for interest in the Loch Ness Monster.
This is Alan's POV now. In this scene, you find out why Alan snapped at Michaela when he saved her from falling into the loch.
Six Sentence Sunday #4
All coherent thoughts had left him the moment his hands touched the woman’s arms. Her scent struck him like an electric current, jolting him.
Then his gaze shifted, focusing on her auburn hair streaked with gold strands, to her eyes the color of moss in the early morning, and finally centering on her wide and lush lips.
Awareness filled his every pore and it took all his self-control to rein it in. His snappy retort had been harsh, but better he hurt her feelings than exploit her mouth for all its worth. If he’d lost control, she’d have willingly jumped into the loch to distance herself from him.

Sensual description. Great six!
Thanks, Linda.
So glad you could come by this morning. I’ll be popping in at your place soon. 🙂
What a gorgeous cover, and I wish I’d written those six sentences. Congrats on your new release.
Linda,
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the snippet, too. 🙂
Vivid scene. Love his guess that she’d jump in the loch, lol. Gorgeous cover too!
What a marvelous idea. I Love 6 sentences because, it’s tantalizing enough to get attention. Lovely site here, BTW.
Great description of his awareness of her and his conflict. Exploit her mouth soon though!
Karen, I can’t wait to get this in August! I love Alan’s intensity, his need, and his fear. They all come into play in this snippet. Well done!
Great description, also a good explanation for his curtness.
Hmm, but what if she didn’t? Nice six!
Hi Cate,
Hmm…Do you think he guessed correctly?

Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed the snippet. If you pick up the book in August, you’ll have to let me know how you liked Michaela and Alan’s tale.
Paula,
Yep, Alan needed to explain. There’s always two sides of the story. 🙂
Sandra,
What if she didn’t…
Stay tune, you may get a chance to find out. 🙂
Very nice insight to his thought of her and himself, Karen. But he should definitely take a chance! Nice six!
Calisa,
Thanks so much for stopping by. Yep-he should take a chance. 🙂
Love the tension in this! I just love watching a man fight for control over his desire for a woman. Great six!
