Game On! – Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday – April 23
If you’re new to Weekend Writing Warriors #wewriwa, it’s a blog hop where authors share 8-10 sentences of their work.
This week I’m sharing from my novella Game On! which releases in June. Just in time to get you ready to football season. Heath Lancaster’s happy to be on the practice squad of a professional football team, but instead of a lucky break taking him to the next level, a league-wide strike leaves him
unemployed. Until he finds a new semi-pro league in Virginia Beach, where a bikini-clad hottie snags one of his passes on the beach and offers him a tour of the area . . .
Heat, ninety-percent humidity, pain and exhaustion, none of it mattered, football fueled Heath Lancaster’s blood. Sweat streamed down his face as he drove the sled another five yards. After six grueling weeks, he’d made the cut to play on Virginia Beach’s new semipro team. Over the grunts and groans of the offensive line, a whistle blew, stopping them mid-step.
Heath yanked off his helmet then grabbed one of the water lines from the portable station. Cooling H2O washed over his head and face before he gunned a stream down his parched throat.
“Wanna hit the beach after lunch,” Dugan McKenzie asked before drinking from another hose. Dugan ran through a string of women the first couple of weeks of camp until he nearly washed out. Performance now improved, and on the roster, he was on the hunt again. This time, Heath planned to join him, imagining cool waves and a sea of curves wearing bikinis.
“Sure. Meet you back at the house.”
