Hi there, Sixers!
I didn’t get a chance to leave comments last week, so now I feel unbearably guilty. Imagine me, steeping in guilt all week. Sigh. Is that enough penance for you?
But life goes on, so here’s another six. I’ve been revising the second of a pair of books that will be coming out with Loveswept early next year. This one is called MAN FOR THE MOMENT. We’re in heroine Katie’s head, pondering the mysteries of the hero, Sean.
The closer they got to Buffalo, the more he’d retreated into himself, batting away the minor attempts at flirtation she’d made during what remained of the drive. Having arrived in the frigid north, he’d become colder than ever. Granite Man again. A great big hunk of frozen stone.
She didn’t buy it anymore. If she poured on enough heat, he would crack.
Thanks for visiting! As always, the other participants in Six Sentence Sunday can be found here.
Ruth, I have nothing to add but OH MY GOODNESS!
Another exciting one to add to my list! To Ruthie!
Damn granite men! Six sentences and I’m sold. Might as well hand you my money now…
Awesome — I love her method for getting him to crack.
Yes, pour on the heat, there are far too many ‘stone’ men! Beautifully written six.
Great six! This is making me even grouchier that I haven’t had a chance to dive into the ARC of About Last Night yet.
Love your six! Wonderful metaphor and I wonder what is making him so cold. I want to know more.
Love this six!
Great six, hope she can warm him up!
Sounds like she’ll need to switch to the major leagues of flirtation. Great six!
Loved that last line! Perfect
Oh, yeah! Cold stone cracks under heat every time. Go Katie!
Can’t wait to see that heat.
Very good writing, Ruthie. Hope her method works.
Got to love a woman not settling for a cold shoulder. Granite man<– love it
Of course now I’m totally intrigued and want to know what has made him close all up emotionally – great six!
Great six, Ruthie! Can’t wait to see what she’s got in mind for Granite Man
Go Katie!! Nice set up.
I love your usage and descriptions of cold. There’s much going on! This story sounds like it’s going to get i-c-y! Brrrr
Never give up, never surrender! I hope she can crack his stony facade. Great six, Ruthie.
