Sunday Snippet – Crossing the Line – I Do, or…
Sunday Snippet time! As always, pop over to the Weekend Writing Warriors site for the complete list of participants.
Today’s eight sentences are from the first page of CROSSING THE LINE, which releases November 18th. Less than two weeks left to wait!
Last week, Derrick was battling with his tie as he got ready for his wedding day, and his best buddy posed a cryptic question. Today, we’re following Derrick as he goes in search of the bride-to-be.
Thanks to the ultra-plush carpeting that ran through the house, nobody heard him climbing the stairs. Or walking down the hall toward the last door on the left, Hanna’s old bedroom. He’d have been happy to make things legal at some chapel in Niagara Falls, where she’d made him the happiest man alive by accepting his proposal. But deny Hanna the pretty, garden wedding she’d dreamed about and deserved? No way. So here they were. And here he was, three steps from his bride-to-be’s half-open door.
“It’s not too late to call it off.”
That’s the mock-up of the print edition cover. So exciting!
You know what else would be exciting? If you added CROSSING THE LINE to your Goodreads shelves! 😉
Thanks for visiting! I hope you’ll stop by next week for another snippet. 🙂

What a way to end the snippet! Very intriguing, I feel sad for him…but a terrific 8.

Oh man, does he hear that coming from the room? Wow, that will introduce conflict. Great snippet, Karla. When are you sending me my ARC? 😉 Nicely done.
Millie Burns
Oh my, what the heck is gonna happen next?

That is one of the last things you want to hear right before your wedding! Now the big question is, who said that?

I know what happens next! I loved this book.

Oh my. What is she going to say? What a place to cut it off!!

Wow! That’s a heck of a thing to overhear. I bet it’s a bit of relief if he was having doubts too though

A cliff hanger and a super eight. Thanks.

First, W?HO said that? And next, oh no, I hope he’s not considering that option, what a heart breaker.
