Sunday Snippet – CROSSING THE LINE – Derrick and Hanna Take the Plunge
Sunday snippet time, part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme.
I promised something sweeter this week. 😉 So, for today’s bite-sized excerpt, we’re with Derrick and Hanna from CROSSING THE LINE, as Derrick gives his wife a birthday weekend she’ll never forget. The fun begins at a small, exclusive resort’s very private pool.
In a heartbeat, Derrick scooped her into his arms, took a couple of running steps, drew up his knees and cannonballed them both into the deep end.
Water rushed into her ears, creating that distinctive sound that comes from plummeting beneath the surface, no holds barred. The way Derrick did everything. The way he made her do things—taking a risk, always enjoying the ride. Like this weekend, like this moment.
She opened her eyes underwater. Derrick was right there, little bubbles rising from his wide-mouthed grin. God, she loved him.

Crossing the Line Blurb
Lifelong best friends Derrick and Jeremy met Hanna at a bar ten years ago. Both wanted her—one married her. Now the other man has been invited to join in for one hot weekend.
Everything would’ve been fine if they’d had their fun that weekend, then gone back to normal. But they didn’t. And when past demons resurface, things will never be the same—for any of them.

That would drive me crazy–I was dunked into a pool one too many times as a child. But she sounds like she enjoyed it! A nice, playful moment. 🙂
