Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books. Thanks for stopping by! Today, I'm sharing six sentences from my debut romantic suspense novel, BENEATH THE SURFACE. Dive into the ocean with Brooke, who is an amputee. She hasn't been scuba diving since she lost most of her leg two years ago. She's about to find out how much she's missed it.
Three minutes later, Brooke found herself surrounded by bubbles as she bled off some of the air in her buoyancy compensator and descended. She shut her eyes and the water caressed her skin. Its coolness wrapped around her and settled her nerves. She missed being in the water more than she’d realized. The fact that she couldn’t flutter kick— she’d end up going sideways—wasn’t a problem. She quickly discovered that pressing her thighs together and doing a butterfly kick worked just as well as fluttering and wasn’t nearly as awkward as she’d expected.
