Weekend Writing Warriors

Last week was fun, and I got to read some great entries and meet some very nice writers. So, I'm doing it again. Below are eight more lines from The Seduction of Esther. In case you were wondering, it's one of the reasons the hero is such a great guy!


“Watch where you’re going, lady,” the produce guy shouted as he ran and surveyed the damage.

Samara’s face heated even more. She resisted the urge to press her palm to her cheek to make sure she wasn’t about to burst into flame, and backed away. Her heel caught on a potato
and her leg slid forward. A tanned hand grabbed her arm and held her up. Too mortified to do anything, she gripped the grocery cart and closed her eyes. His next words made them fly open.

“Sorry, it was my fault.” He bent down and picked up the runaway potatoes.  

The Seduction of Esther is available now through AmazonBarnes & NobleAllRomance and Bookstrand. Let me know what you think!

  3. (I also joined last week & came back for more ;>

    Interesting how you turned produce into instruments of seduction - I'll never look at a baked potato the same way again.

  8. Funny, I had the same thought as Violet! Romance in the produce isle. :) Some of the great romances come from awkward moments. Enjoyed your snippet.

    1. Thanks Cindy. I think I actually read once that the grocery store is one of the top places to meet guys.
