Six Sentence Sunday - Surrender to the Sheriff Teaser

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday!

Today I've got a little teaser from Chapter 2 of my current WIP, Surrender to the Sheriff.

The setup to this scene:

After his bullet grazes her arm, Sam Harden, sheriff of Prosperity Creek in 1851, has just reminded Lilly how he plans to clean up the town and make it a safe place...

A slow smile appeared on Lilly's face, the smile that showed the crescent dimple in her left cheek. The smile that won his heart the moment he'd first seen it. Dreams of waking up to that smile kept him going when he might otherwise have given up on this town. That crescent dimple was the reason he was still wearing the star on his chest and not off mining with his brothers.

She touched his arm and nodded. "I know you'll do it, Sheriff."

He wanted to remind her to call him Sam; he needed to hear his name on her lips. When it came to Lilly, he needed a lot of things, but he couldn't focus on any of those selfish things now.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed the teaser, I know I have quite the soft-spot for Sheriff Sam already.

Six Sentence Sunday - Lilly meets the Sheriff

Since my last "Six Sentence Sunday" the previously untitled western time travel romance I'm working on has officially been named!

A few weeks ago we met the heroine, Lilly. Below is a glimpse of her meeting the hero of "Surrender to the Sheriff."

Enjoy and happy Sunday my friends!

Sam's fingers threaded through the hair at the base of her neck, hot goose bumps peppered her skin everywhere he touched. His lips left her mouth to glide along her jaw on the way to her ear.

"I can't do this without you," he whispered.

 By the time he released her with a heavy sigh, her legs wobbled beneath her.

Lillian reached up and traced the edge of his stubbled chin, searched his eyes and squelched the tiny stab of jealousy rushing through her chest for the real Lilly this man so obviously loved and planned to marry. Tall, dark and ruggedly handsome, Sheriff Sam Harden was everything Grandma Rose had portrayed him to be.

Until next time, happy reading.

 

Six Sentence Sunday - Untitled Western Time Travel

This week I've decided to join in the fun of the Six Sentence Sunday blog posts and give a taste of what I've got currently on the upcoming horizon.

This is from Chapter One of my untitled western time travel (which is rare for me - I ALWAYS start with a title!)
Maybe by next week when I post another six sentences I'll have a title to go with it.

Until then, I hope you enjoy meeting my heroine, Lillian Bennett.

* * *

Lillian didn't share Rose's obsession for the run down ghost town. But, she loved Grandma Rose and was determined to honor her last wishes, even if it meant following the crazy rules of a ninety year old woman's will.

"Spend one night in Prosperity. Believe."

The usually stoic lawyer hadn't been able to hide his amusement when he announced her inheritance. "Your grandmother left you Prosperity, Lillian."

She could still remember the sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Oh, how she wished for once prosperity meant money and not a bunch of run down buildings in the middle of nowhere.

Happy Sunday my friends!
