Six Sentence Sunday - Walking The Edge: Snippet #2

Hey beautiful people!

Once again it's Sunday! Quite stoked this week coz Sara from Six Sentence Sunday has graciously accepted to list me as a regular SSS contributor on the site's page. :) What can I say though - I'm totally addicted to this little game of posting a quip and sending it out into the world like this.

So, last week I started to post snippets from my upcoming release, Walking The Edge. It releases next Monday, June 27 *gasp* (cannot believe it's getting so close!). It's a romantic suspense/thriller, and you can find the book description here.

Last Sunday I posted the first six from the story. Remember? Amelia, the heroine, thought there was a man stalking her in Selfridges on Oxford Street in London.  Take a peek if you want... And here comes the next six (editted for the purpose of this post!).

Enjoy!


"....Maybe she tuned in to the hairs rising on her nape, or to the little voice whispering in her mind, telling her there were eyes boring into her back and checking into her every move.
Was she going insane? The question snapped into her brain like a tight-pulled elastic band being released, stinging her when it hit home.
Come on, she told herself, you’re in a busy department store and there’s an idiot tagging your every step.
Her gaze darted to Nathaniel, the hulk of a man who was her assigned chauffeur and man for all tasks, it seemed. Or, he could just be the watchdog her husband had set on her trail...."


Find more amazing SSS quips here! I'm totally hooked on some of these snippets. :)

From Mauritius with love,

Zee

    "...and man for all tasks..."

    I totally took that wrong. *grin*

    But just because she's paranoid, doesn't mean someone's not out to get her!

    If she's got bad feelings like that, maybe it's best she has the bodyguard. All the best with your release!

    Thanks Jessica. But the real question is - the bodyguard is here to protect her, or to be the watchdog...?

  42. JoAnne Kenrick21 June 2011 at 02:19

    Duh.duh.duhhhhhhh oh no, who is the watchdog? Her chauffeur, or is her chauffeur just the guy to save her? I'm totally intrigued and looking forward to reading the full story xxx Love the cover, and congrats on the upcoming release!!!
