Weekend Writing Warriors #29!

Helloooo, friends! Hope you're all doing well! I'm watching Nanny McPhee as I type this. Is there anything Emma Thompson can't do? I adore the woman. It doesn't hurt that the delightful Colin Firth stars in the movie too. And Angela freaking Lansbury. Basically, it rocks my toe socks. Now that we've settled that, I'll be sharing another excerpt from my newly acquired story called Crossing the Line. :D

Here's the blurb:

Madison Kelly is an erotic romance author from Canada on her way to her first ever writing conference. Across the border. A trunk full of dirty books and dildos proves enough to amp up her nerves and make her lips flap faster than the maple leaf flag.
But she's not going anywhere until George Petropoulos gives the go-ahead.
The Greek god of a border guard has something other than national security in mind when he detains this particular citizen. He can’t help but be charmed by the juxtaposition between her stammering blushes and the racy books she writes.
A hot and heavy interrogation brings out her inner sex goddess, one that she’s been hiding in the pages of her books, and leaves them both wanting more. But will they be brave enough to cross the line again? 

And here's the excerpt: 

“Are you bringing anything into the country with you?”
Her heart hammered. She’d rehearsed her answer to this particular question at least a dozen times, but without the gorgeous man staring down at her, daring her to give him a reason to detain her. Then again, honesty wasn’t always the best way to go. Especially in her case.
She looked him square in the eyes and said, “Just my suitcase…and stuff.”
“Pop the trunk.”
Shit

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors and have a spectacular Sunday! :)

  5. I guess "stuff" wasn't precise enough for him.
