6 Sentences of Her Reluctant Protector

This is my 1st time participating in Six Sentence Sunday, where authors (published & unpublished alike) share 6 sentences of their writing. To learn more about it or to see who else is participating, visit here: www.sixsunday.com

My entry is 6 sentences from my current work, HER RELUCTANT PROTECTOR. I'm in the process of revising the manuscript so I can resubmit it to an editor who would like to read it again. This story has a special place in my heart. It was the first full-length manuscript I truly believed had the potential to sell. Hopefully I'll kick butt on revisions and wow the editor into offering a contract! 

So, what do you think?


Her gaze fell away from him. “Surely we can share a bed.”
Matt’s blood heated.  Without touching?  Without pulling her into his arms to smooth away the worry etched across her brow?  “Sure.”
