I'm writing this at 2 am because even though I signed up for Weekend Writing Warriors and Sexy Snippets earlier today I put off prearing the post until now, when I suddenly realized that I was going to bed without setting it. *smile*
Anyhow, it's a new month and to change things a bit from the previous week's Spanish Diversion snippets, today's sentences are the first lines from The Lost Mercenary, book 3 of my series "The Mercenary Tales".
#SexySnippets and #8Sunday Sentences
Kicking and flailing his arms, he frantically searched for the surface. His head shout out of the water
and he struggled to breathe, coughing and gasping for oxygen. A wave crashed against him, submerging him underwater once more. The pressure of the ocean combined with his clothes weighed him down. Desperately, he clawed at the water. His joints began to ache and protest, the wound at his side throbbed mercilessly, making him nauseous. The realization that time was running out hit him. Panicking, his movements became choppy and uncoordinated.
All he ever wanted was a
family and some land for farming. Instead, his dreams were ripped at
the seams by a ruthless king. Choosing to become a mercenary, Gregorii
has roamed the land clinging to a past he thought long gone—until
Emmeline stumbled onto his path. Now, his dreams resurface and hope
reemerges. The only problem is Emmeline’s defiance.
Emmeline has a secret. An important secret. A dangerous secret. Few know her mission. Fewer know her past. When Gregorii turns up in her life, past, present and future unite and her whole world threatens to crumble.
How long will she be able to hide the truth from him? How long will her heart resist the inevitable?
