My mind has been dwelling on a novel I have partially written and have added a few more thousand to during NaNoWriMo, called One Night in the District. This is the third name it’s had so far and I’m still not sure about it.
In this scene, Reese McCarthy is horrified that she’d snuggled up to Alec, the biggest man-whore alive and fellow US Marshal in the preternatural Division Five, after he helped her through the worst night of her life.
“You were so warm, and … something’s happening to me.” How could I have forgotten what a total letch he was? “You need to keep your distance. I don’t want to make you think there’s anything between us, because there isn’t, and I don’t want to kill you even though I’ve fantasized about it a few times over the years.”
Alec flashed a crooked grin, nodded and sat in the chair farthest from me, lacing his fingers together on his lap. “Just for the record, I didn’t do that as a come-on.”
Is Alec the bold womanizer he pretends to be? Or is there a good man under his facade? You’ll just have to wait until this one comes out to know for sure. 🙂

Great six xx
I can just see the sparks coming down the road.
I look forward to learning more about Alec, what he’s really like. Great six! 🙂
How long will we have to wait to find out?! Hehe! This six drew me in and left me wanting more 🙂
It’s about half done. 🙂 I have to finish Road to Salvation first, then this one, so a while. 🙂 I could use another beta reader if you’re interested. 😉
Great six, Jocelyn! “Total letch” ~ I love that! 🙂
Gargh! I should have steered clear of this. I don’t want to know she succumbed, dammit.
🙂 Oh, she didn’t succumb to anything, it was just a hug. 🙂
Haaaaaaaaahahahahaha. OMG. “I didn’t do that as a come on.” Sure he didn’t. 😉
Sure… LOL. Love this six!
Good atmosphere and a smug man. He needs a smack upside the head. . .or something. Nice six!
Love the set up! Hurry up and finish the book. Great six.
Intriguing conversation
Love that last line. He seems like a tease.
Nice six!
Love the contrast between their attitudes here. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting conflict between them! Would like to see more.
lol, can’t he be a bit of both? Great snippet!
Hmm, great six!
