It's week #34! Welcome to My Sexy Saturday where authors post 7 words, sentences or paragraphs from a published book or WIP.
This week we’re talking about those broken heroes and heroines who think they have nothing left to give to another person. They’ve stopped looking for their soul mates or don’t believe they even have one. As an author, we love to prove them wrong, and as a reader, we love to see them find their happily-ever-after!
My installment in the Honky Tonk Hearts Series with The Wild Rose Press has such a hero. Former Navy SEAL, Finn Brennan is a bitter man whose busted leg cost him his military career and fiancé. I had a lot of fun shaking up his world by dropping a former female Marine on his dude ranch. He hates Marines. It was a Marine that caused his injury. Yeah, sparks fly. lol They are both headstrong, hurting, and very attracted to each other. Fun stuff.
Here's 7 sexy paragraphs of from:
Cowboy-Sey
"So, you're just doing this out of the goodness of your heart."
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Bullshit.”
Amusement
slowly vanished in her narrowing eyes. “Excuse me?”
“There’s more
to it.” He walked to where she stood by the bench, their gazes locked. “I’ll
ask you again, Ms. Walker. Why are you here?”
Irritation
skittered through her brown eyes. She blew out a breath and folded her arms
across her chest. He tried not to notice the increased cleavage, but the
pleasant valley silently beckoned.
Damn woman was
loaded with weapons, and for an instant, he longed to see the whole arsenal. He
shook his head and tuned back in to her voice.
“We’ve been
through all this, cowboy. You’re trying to kill a dead horse.”
He cocked his
head. “We’re not talking about a horse. We’re talking about you, and why you’re
here. There’s something you’re not telling me, and I want to know what it is.”
“Fine.” Her
arms dropped to swing at her sides. “Your brother was there for me during some
tough times. I’m returning the favor.”
That told him
exactly nothing. He wanted details. So help him, if this woman was dishonorably
discharged. His heart dropped. “What tough times?”
“None of your
business.” She turned to walk away.
He grabbed her
arm and twisted her back around. “Wrong. It is my business. You’re under
my roof, on my land, in proximity to my mother. I want to know what happened,
and I want to know now.”

The Marines and Navy always had a rivalry. This one is going to steam up fast. Can't wait to read more.

Oh, I can see these two getting into some royal battles!
My, oh, my what a lovely, wicked cover. Makes a girl wanna visit a dude ranch.
Thanks, ND! I agree. Finn meant business. lol
Very nice snippet. Thanks for sharing, Donna! I can't wait to see just what the hard times were for your heroine.
I agree, Evelise! That rivalry has been around forever, and made the H and h very interesting. :-)
~Lyndi, yes, they did butt heads a few times. lol
~Thanks, PJ! Sure makes me want to visit one!
~Thanks, Lynn! Both characters had some issues in the past, and with each other, which made them a joy to write. :-)
I love all of Donna's books!!! They are all great reads!!! I can't wait for the next one to come out!!!
Aw, thanks, Gwen! I'm finishing up COWBOY-PAYBACK, the sequel to Cowboy-Sexy, right now. Then it's back to Kevin's book, book 4 in the Harland County Series, then right into the first book of the spinoff series, my Citizen Soldier Series starring Brandi Wyne's National Guard brothers. :-)
