Here’s the next six sentences from The Olympian, a short lust-to-love story about second chances. I’m thrilled to say I just signed a contract on this story.
The Olympian was chosen for inclusion in Evernight Publishing’s Vanilla-Free Christmas anthology! #yay
In this scene, Rachel, an Olympic skier hopeful, stops at Starbucks for a chai latte on her way to Crimson Mountain for a weekend of training. She meets Hans [may rename him Erik-lol] who offers, well insists, on giving her a ride to the mountain because he thinks her tin can of a car is unsafe. Let’s just say they don’t exactly hit it off…or do they?
His deep voice washed over her like silk. She spun around and watched as he removed the lid from his cup and touched his lips to the edge for a long sip. An involuntarily picture of his tongue teasing her hardened nipples sent a warm sensation straight to her core. How could a random stranger infuriate and excite her at the same time. She needed to put some distance between them before she inexplicably agreed to his demand. Fast.











Awesome news, congratulations!
Ah, people that infuriate and excite us at the same time. You could be talking about my husband, lol!
If you’re looking for votes, I vote Erik. Only because I once knew a Hans and he doesn’t inspire sexy images in my mind.
Great snippet!
Thanks, Karla! I’ve heard the Hans thing a couple of times so it’ll probably get changed. There’s a story behind the name Hans and I kept it for sentimental reasons but the more I think about it, the more I think I’ll make the switch.
She needs to, but will she? LOL Congrats on the new contract!
She does, but Hans/Erik is a determined one! It’s not the last she sees of him.
Wow! Now there’s some chemistry!! Well done!
Mmmmm, frothy!
Congrats on the contract. This promises to be a steamy one!
Ha… yeah, there’s a chemistry between them… one that threatens to explode! Lol You are terrific at setting up the anticipation of a sizzling storyline, Sandra! Congrats again on the contract!
I think she should agree. Just sayin’.
That’s great news about the contract! I like the conflicting emotions in this snippet, it makes for an enjoyable read, though I have to agree with Dee. She should say yes!
Yeah, more Sandra books, that makes me happy. No distance, don’t you dare let her put any distance between them, lol. Her thoughts are way too yummy for any distance.
Powerful and sensual, loved it!
Hey Sandra, congrats on your contract!
Loved your six…great internals
HOT, I REALLY enjoyed this excerpt! Congratulations on the contract!
Congrats on the contract! And I think she should loosen up; Hans/Erik might improve her, ahem, performance.
Love that he “infuriates and excites” her. What a wicked, wicked combination! Congrats on the contract!!
Yey, you’re in the Antho too
Fab six!
Love the vivid, yet sexy descriptions! Nice six, Sandra!
Congratulations, Sandra!
Nice six as well. Excitement and fury combined should make for fireworks.
Well they say love and hate are close companions… Great 6!
Congrats on the story acceptance, Sandra! This sounds like a winner so far.
