Six Sentence Sunday - Second Chance Succubus - Twin Trouble

Happy Six Sentence Sunday again. Thank you so much for visiting and taking the time to read this week's snippet as Six Sentence Sunday winds down. Only one more Sunday. :( I really appreciate your time and the comments you leave for me. While my sixes aren't always right after each other, they are in chronological order. You can find last week's six here.

Today, I'm offering a snippet from a new work in progress, a cross-over paranormal romantic suspense with BDSM elements, entitled Second Chance Succubus. Here we meet the second of the two heroes, Nik Wolffe, older twin to Chayse from last week's snippet. Nik and Chayse are both in law enforcement, but Nik is a Private Investigator, while Chayse is a cop.

Nik parked his Chevy pickup outside of Eve’s Paradise, one of the premier gentleman’s clubs in Vegas and grimaced. The place was crawling with cops, which didn’t bode well for his investigation. Personally, more than professionally. Not only was Eve’s Paradise a legitimate cover for the Underground, a clandestine BDSM club, but if the cops had arrived, most likely so had his twin brother.
Fuck.
They hadn’t spoken since Chayse severed their ties over a woman and walked out on his brother. Nik’s rage had ebbed, but it simmered below the surface, and he didn’t want it erupting during an investigation.

Oooh, it sounds like Chayse has some explaining to do. ;) There are several great authors on the Six Sentence Sunday list and a few of my favorites are Karla DoyleSarah BallanceSilver JamesJ. M. Blackman, Gem Sivad, and Goran Zidar. Thank you for stopping by and happy reading! :)

  3. Nik's got so many things to deal with at once. How will he get through it? I like the gentleman's club for the setting - things can get wacky pretty fast in a place like that. Great six!

  8. A couple things I really love here: the first is the single lined "fuck." That really puts a lot of force and tension behind it. I know he means it and I know I've said it like that too many times. The second is that he knows his anger could still boil over, enough to ruin an investigation and he has to be mindful of it. I always love that kind of tumultuous character. Great six.
