When two strangers
have nothing left but their dreams, they must forge a relationship in
Nantahala, North Carolina, a small town known as, Land of the Noonday Sun,
A few episodes ago, Cassandra had met the hunky whitewater guide. We missed their little interlude, then she insulted him and he stormed off. Now she's left standing there, wondering what she should do next.
Excerpt:
She
almost decided it was enough of this nonsense; she didn’t need the money. She’d
eventually land a decent job. She could move back to Florida, stay with Karen
for a few months; she didn’t need this headache.
Without
warning, the memory of him taking her hand yesterday assaulted her. She
remembered the warmth that had rushed through her. She had never felt even
remotely attracted to any man the way she’d felt toward him. She really should
leave this state immediately, but for some reason she couldn’t. She couldn’t
find the courage to struggle for anything right now. The last few years had
been so stressful. This could be an opportunity for her to stop and take a hard
look at her life and, of course, there would be a handsome payday at the end.
So that was it then. This would just be a six-month job opportunity, like
interning.
“Are
you coming?” his voice rang out, startling her. “Follow me if you want to.”
Follow him…if she wanted to.
They were the identical words he’d used yesterday—right before she found
herself dumped in the frigid waters of the Nantahala.

Sounds like she's grappling with pretty serious issues. Intriguing six!
ReplyDeleteAlways, Veronica. I like to torture my characters... :)
DeleteGreat six! I'm reading She Belongs to Me and I'm loving it! :)
ReplyDeleteCool! Thank you, DeAnna.
DeleteLove her dilemma....and I love the cover of your book :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I thought she did a fabulous job. I told her exactly what I wanted down to the tee...and she was able to make it happen. It was as if she literally pulled the scene from my head. Amazing what artists can create from minor details.
DeleteGreat six!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gayle.
DeleteNice six! Very drastic reaction!
ReplyDeleteYeah, anything out of context does kind of seem drastic...but I purposely look for what I think will sound the most powerful in six little sentences. If you read back a few weeks ago where I described him....I got lots of drastic reactions. LOL! He brings out the best in women. Out of five books, I have to confess, he is my fav male MC, but it could because I'm currently editing, and I tend to dream about my characters. ;)
DeleteNice description of internal struggle!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. I like the internal dialog better than the spoken dialog; it seems as if you can say so much more on Six Sentence Sunday. :)
DeleteIntriguing, Carmen. She seems to be pretty intense, and I hope things work out for both of them.
ReplyDeleteShe is intense....she needs to lighten up. So serious all the time. LOL! Maybe having to live in "Land of the Noonday Sun" will do it. ;)
DeleteSounds like she's coming to some personal realizations, with big decisions ahead. Nice six! :)
ReplyDeletePoor thing...nothing in her life has been a choice, but yes, she's gonna have to decide, and he's not making life easy. She doesn't like her body's automatic reaction to him at all. LOL!
DeleteVery nicely written.
ReplyDeleteGreat six! Sounds like she is falling the wrong guy...
ReplyDeleteGreat romantic lines!
ReplyDeleteGreat six!
