Welcome to the Snippet Sunday on the Weird, the Wild, and the Wicked. Thank you so much for visiting. If you choose to comment today, I really appreciate it. The snippets are from my current release, Bronco's Rough Ride, a military romantic suspense set in Las Vegas. It's a prequel to The Navy's Ghost, set 10 years earlier. No paranormal critters in this one, though there's plenty of kick-ass adventure and hot sex. You can read last week's snippet HERE.
Lindsey managed to get John dressed, but 200 lbs of dead weight man is still difficult to move and she has to be creative. Think outside the box. We're in Lindsey's POV.
She didn’t think
she could do a fireman’s carry with him. He’s
too big and heavy for that. And he didn’t have the strength or control for
staggering beside her yet. She could drag him, but she’d never get him to his
feet at the door.
Lindsey glanced
down at his lovely golden eyes and swore he raised a curious eyebrow at her.
How else could she move him? Too bad I
don’t have a luggage cart. Luggage…lugging…
“Okay, this is
going to be weird.” Lindsey turned her back to John and knelt on the floor.
“I’m going to wear you to the door.”
“Mmmpf?” His
question puffed into the hair at her nape.
“Yeah, like a cloak.” She draped his arms over her shoulders. “You
ready?”
Looks like she's getting a new addition to her wardrobe. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and in the Snippet Sunday Facebook group. A few of my favorites are Charley Descoteaux, SJ Maylee, Gem Sivad, Goran Zidar, Veronica Scott, and Karla Doyle.
If you're interested in more from Bronco's Rough Ride, here's the blurb:
What happens in Vegas, stays in the
heart...
Chief
Petty Officer John "Bronco" Andrews only meant to stay one
night in Vegas for a little R&R before resuming his duties as a
US Navy SEAL in Coronado. But someone slips him a mickey in the bar
and he finds himself in Madame LeBeau's sex trade. As the product.
Doped up on ketamine to keep him docile, Bronco has no choice but to
let it ride.
Detective
Lindsey Jarvis has been undercover in LeBeau's sex
slave racket for two years and she almost has enough evidence to take
it down. Between abduction,
prostitution, and murder,
she has LeBeau by the short hairs. All she needs is a "product".
John is the perfect witness if she can get him out before the drugs
shut down his heart. Then she'll be free to start a normal life.
Lindsey
doesn't count on her overwhelming attraction for Bronco or her need
to see him through detox. But she's a cop in Vegas and he's a Navy
SEAL, two lifestyles with too much unpredictability to maintain a
relationship. Neither have time for more than one wild rough ride,
and what happens in Vegas, stays. Forever.
It's now available at Smashwords, Amazon, B&N, and All Romance eBooks. Thanks so much for stopping by and happy reading. :)
And what a cloak he makes...yea, Bronco. Loved this book! :D
ReplyDeleteBeing worn like a coat.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....sounds interesting!
Nice 8!
I enjoyed the way she's always so quick thinking. This was a terrific book - great snippet today.
ReplyDeleteYou ready? Lol! I wonder how this will go. Entertaining snippet!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be interesting to see if she can get him to the door without collapsing under his weight. And if she does, then what? I am so intrigued by this... Can't wait to find out what happens next.
ReplyDeleteConsidering where he is, this is a great idea, if she can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff... the visuals are great and her attitude of determination shines through.
ReplyDeleteWell I never quite thought about the problem that would be. Great touch of realism there. I wonder if he is playing possum?
