Can I trust you? #MFRWBookHooks
Welcome to the Marketing for Romance Writers blog hop, Book Hooks. Writers share a short snippet of their works to entice you. Here’s another snippet from my new release, Rescuing Prince Charming.
Dusty Johnson and a guard have found a time bomb hidden in the guts of a prototype starship. A narrow tunnel is the only access to the room where the guard holds the bomb. Dusty, who is still in the tunnel, speaks first.
“Give it to me.”
He shined the flashlight her way and looked up for the first time. “It is too dangerous.”
“Like I’m so far away it won’t kill me? Since you can’t disarm it, I’ll have to carry it to someone who can. Hurry.”
“Can I trust you?”
“Fine.” Her voice grew sharp from anxiety. “Just hold onto it until it explodes.”
He took a deep breath and held out the shoebox. “This goes against my sense of chivalry.”
“Screw chivalry.” She reached for the box—but he pulled it away from her grasp.
“I’ll have you know I’m a gentleman.”
“And the School for Chivalrous Gentlemen taught you that Take off my pants is a polite greeting?”
“Is Please take this bomb, with my compliments an improvement?” He gave a tight-lipped sigh. “I don’t like handing this to a woman.”
