We are only 6 days away from the Kindle Unlimited Launch!!! (amazon.com/author/jrtootill)
So how about a little teaser from #codenamewolfe? This is the minute he sees her. And it only gets hotter from there!
"He took one last scan of the room and then he saw her. She was perched on a stool at the far side of the bar. Her face, lit partially by the flickering TV screen, was alternately draped in the shadow of a blinking light from a sign in the window over her head. The intermittent light shift was like a slow-motion strobe and transfixed him because he couldn’t tell if it was the off and on eerie cast of green that took his breath away or the effect her face had on him when he could see her clearly in the blue light from the television. A young hipster was trying his hand at seduction, and she set dark eyes on him in the direct way some women had of pinning your head to the wall with a single glance. He couldn’t hear what she said to him, but the young guy snapped his slender shoulders back as if she had slapped him. As he regained his composure and stepped around her, her eyes slid from the hipster to Tuc, lingered there for a momentary eye lock, took in the entire length of his body and then did that slide thing back up to his eyes. And without changing expression turned back to her drink.
Whiskey. He thought. Bet you’re a whiskey girl.
Tuc realized he was holding his breath, let it out with a cough before downing half of the bourbon left in his glass. His first thought was cop. He moved from her face traced down the long, wavy and nearly black hair, except for the auburn highlights caught by the flashing sign. His second thought was run as he followed her hair down her back to the fitted waist of a black leather jacket. Then further down to the touch of femininity in the floral dress that draped around strong, muscular calves that curved out just above the black leather ankle boots. When he trailed back up to her face, her eyes rolled onto Tuc’s like an undulating wave, and he stared back helpless as if caught in its undertow.
This led to his third thought, which was: Oh Shit.
And just when he thought he had a chance to listen to thought number two she smiled at him and without realizing it, he was on his feet, across the room and standing next to her with his heart rate rising when he caught the faint scent of mint floating from her hair.
Oh, shit it is then."
