Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday A Decade of Longing

I missed signing up for #SexySnippets but made it just in time for Weekend Writer Warriors #8Sunday. After I signed up I stared at the computer for a few minutes wondering what to show you guys since i had promised last week that I'd change stories. Finally, I remembered that one of my publishers, Evernight, is donating 25% of all proceeds to Breast Cancer Awareness (you can see the poster on the top left), so, I've gone back and picked a few lines from my first novel published with them: A Decade of Longing 

#8Sunday Sentences for...


However, even as she went about her duties, her eyes constantly scanned the room as if searching
for something––or someone.He knew what she was seeking. She stopped to chat to someone, turning her back on him. It was time. He stepped away from the column and made his way towards her. As if sensing his presence, she turned around, her eyes locking with his, her acquaintance
forgotten. Neither of them moved. He noticed as her smile faded, her lips parted slightly, and her chest rose as she drew a deep breath.

A Decade of Longing

Picture Angelica and Alexander fell in love at a young age. Unfortunately, their love is doomed since the beginning. Forcibly separated, Angelica is obligated to marry another man at her father’s convenience while Alexander is prohibited from ever seeking her out again.

Ten years later, however, Alexander is no longer the callow boy he used to be. Now an influential gentleman, he is bent on recovering the only woman he has ever loved. No matter the cost. But has their love withstood the ravages of time?

      I didn't post this week. Meant to leave that comment on the last one. I didn't want Warriors going to my blog to reciprocate. I never made it around last week, so just visiting this week. :-)

      Thanks for visiting Teresa :-) I almost didn't make it this week either, but remembered just in time! (literary, there was only about 1 hour left before the linkylist closed, lol)

    Must just be my browser, but the Caliente blog hop graphic jutted out into the post, covering up a lot of the snippet so I couldn't read it. ::sniff::

    J Rose and I had the same problem with the graphic covering up the excerpt BUT I loved the book's premise and what I could read of the excerpt was intriguing!
