A Heap Of Trouble

My sweet short story "A Heap Of Trouble" is up at The Long & Short Reviews today.




Here's a morsel:

Raina Everett paced. She didn’t care that the desk sergeant glared as if he wanted to lock her up. Her taxes paid his salary and she had rights damn it!

She checked her watch and sighed. Then she marched up to the man. “Is Lieutenant Ross Lowe available yet?”

Scowling, the man insinuated his finger between his neck and collar. “He’ll be out soon.”

Soon?!? Her older brother had been missing two weeks and this moron told her “soon”? This department said the town Dave lived in wasn’t in their jurisdiction, that she had to go to Tampa to file the missing person’s report in person.

By the time Ross sauntered out her blood boiled. She rose and fisted her hands on her hips. Then she took a deep breath and tried to blind herself to the man’s raw sexuality more evident today than ever, damn him.

To read the full story go to the Long & Short Reviews here. It's free, so enjoy. :)

I haven't read a good romance in a LONG time.

I love: "Then she took a deep breath and tried to blind herself to the man’s raw sexuality more evident today than ever, damn him."

I hope you enjoy it. I need to get busy and write more free stories. Not only are they good promotion (at least I hope so), they're good practice to write tightly.
