Another Hump Day Hook! Once again I’m bringing some Jane and Cole to the party.
This really is lucky week 13…because I found out yesterday that Changing Tracks will be released on the 8th – that’s this Friday! So you’ll be able to find it on Friday at Secret Cravings Publishing!
All month long I’ll be having a giveaway here on the blog that will include copies of the book and some surprise swag! So to keep updated on the giveaway and where to find it when it starts, make sure to head on over to my Facebook page & like it to get my updates.
Once again I beg your indulgence. In 95% of cases I try to keep it to one paragraph, but as its release week and I love this little scene and how she fends off his attempt to sway her affections, it’s a little longer. Next week will be well within guidelines again, promise. This isn’t much longer than a paragraph:
As her fingers sought the prize she had in mind, he lifted her onto the desk. Her hand abandoned its task when he yanked her hips firm against his. Desire rose to fight off her anger, winning the battle. She would cave soon.
The pain of the past few weeks rushed up at the thought. With a sob, she pushed him away. “No.”
“Come on, Jane.” His lips found the sweet spot just under her ear.
Focusing on the rising anger at the gall he had to assume she would be so weak, that a few suggestive touches would sway her, she shoved him back with all her strength. At his chuckling, she reached into the drawer and grabbed what she’d been after. “I believe I said no.”
Cole’s laughter faded when she leveled the gun at him, his eyebrow quirking up. “You ain’t gonna shoot me.”

And thanks! Jane & Cole just make me happy – love to post moments with them.
He better be sure about that!! Lol great hook!!
LOL. You’re right Kathleen…Jane’s awful good with a gun…he’d better be positive she’s not going to shoot him 😉
I don’t think she’ll shoot him 😉 A nice hook and congrats on the release day!
LOL. Glad you don’t think so, Ciaran. I can’t say if she does or not…but I do love that she’s strong enough to stand up to him and make the threat. Jane is one hell of a woman.
Great hook! Wonderful writing. Looking forward to reading more. Congrats on the release.
Great hook and flow to the passage…nice!
Ooh nice! Shoot him!
Great hook! I’d shoot him for saying “ain’t” – LOL!
Congratulations on your release!
Great hook. I so want to know more. Congrats on your release too 🙂
Oh my gosh, she has a gun! A great hook! Wow!
Mercy, she means business today! Intriguing story and characters. Congrats on your early release and best of luck!
Oh, I so did not see that ending coming! Good luck with the book. The cover is amazing – it should grab people’s attention so they’ll read your blurb and then, of course, buy your book! 🙂
She might not actually shoot him but pistol whipping is an option 🙂 Nice hook
Oh yes, I like this. You go Jane. Don’t let him push you over!
I don’t think she’s going to shoot him either – nice snip 🙂
Whoa! Didn’t see that coming. I’m totally hooked.
Congratulations on the upcoming release! Great hook too.
Big congrats for your coming release. I’m excited for you. In the above scene she handles him and controls herself showing a lot about each character. Great writing!
That is some closing line. Best wishes with your release.
I think Jan & Cole are very intriguing couple, would love to see what happens with them.
Thanks, LaTanya! They are definitely fun to write – they like to surprise me on a regular basis. I hope they surprise you too!
