As promised, February’s first three Six Sentence Sunday entries are all from my short contemporary romance, “Hoodoo Cupid”, available wherever fine ebooks are sold.
Today’s scene takes place in the ER after Maggie Scanlan’s hoodoo has done it’s work on her professional rival and new boss, Dan Constantine:
When [Dan’s] eyes focused on a person—the way they focused on her now—it was like being targeted by a pair of lasers. The fan of creases deepening at the corners of his eyes and his slowly widening smile only made it worse.
“My ride.” His voice had a husky quality—a subtle roughness like vintage mohair upholstery, which inspired almost as much thigh wriggling and skirt palming among the agency power groupies as his eyes. “Talk about answered prayers. Please tell me it’s going to be a long one.”

Oh wow, loved the mohair analogy and then the double entendre at the end, well done!
Thanks, Angela. I’ve always liked this story and what I was able to do with it, but somehow it fell through the cracks.
Oh. My. God. Talk about double entendres! I LOVE THIS!! I can’t wait to get a chance to read the whole thing, beginning to end. Almost there, though. Just have to rework some formatting on my CreateSpace books, then I can finally give myself permission to take a holiday for a day or two. Great six!
Thanks, KE. Hope you’ll enjoy the story just as much. 🙂
love it!!!
Thanks, Vonnie. 🙂
Lol, great snippet!
