Six Sentence Sunday: 8/19/12... Such a tease! Running From Shadows

Hooray for Six Sentence Sunday!

Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to participate with such a fantastic group of writers! 

Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by three lovely agents and an editor!! Squee!!

In this snippet, Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton "Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student with a dark secret) are gettin' all hot and heavy in the backseat of his Jeep...


It's wrong... Forbidden... And now...

The excitement was short-lived. A loud tap on the window behind me froze me in place. Very disheveled, sitting astride a shirtless guy. Turning around, I flattened my hand to the fogged-up window and made a circle to see out. I had a flash of Titanic, only Kate and Leo got to finish what they’d started.

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

More Pax and Greta to come in September!! Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated! Get a sneak peek for more awesome authors at SSS. 

Next week we'll be visiting Breena from Witch Way to Turn in a very steamy scene with one of the two hot supernatural boys vying for her affection!

Happy reading!
