#Thursday13 - Lines from my WIP

This is a fly-by blog post because I just received revisions and want to jump on them.

So you're getting thirteen sentences from said manuscript that needs revising. It's a quick peek at Demitri and Natalie, Book Four in what my editor just called my Makricosta Dynasty stories. Yes! A Dynasty!!

Oh, and it has a title: Seduced Into The Greek's World

Here ya go:
