Today's Six Sentence Sunday excerpt comes from my Regency novella, Healing Hearts, releasing on February 28 from Carina Press:
Anger burned within her breast, bright as her love for the viscount once had.
And yet…her gaze swept him again, lingering on the trousers that molded his muscular thighs, the loose shirt that emphasized the breadth of his shoulders. ’Twas but the vicious wind that stole her breath, she told herself.
Why was he here? Why had he come now? What was he doing marching about the windswept cliffs so close to the manor when he had not had the decency to call upon her family?
My blog post, "Juicy Bits of Agony," is up today at http://romancingthepast.blogspot.com/ and I hope you'll pop by there and visit.

Anger and desire...great internal conflict, unless she can continue to blame that vicious wind!
Yeppers, Emma's conflicted!
I like this. Powerful!
Wow, that six packed a punch! Loved '’Twas but the vicious wind that stole her breath'!

Twas but the vicious wind that stole her breath, she told herself. - Lovely line.. caught my breath.
Shh, don't tell anyone but I have a secret love for Regency Romance. I'm going to have to check this one out.
Yes, please. (Follow that guilty pleasure!)
Completely took my breath away. Taryn, this was great. I can't wait to read the whole thing.
She seems a little conflicted. Can't wait for the release Taryn!
Sounds like trouble brewing to me!
Oh, yeah. They're both in trouble. Sexy, steamy trouble. But...not quite yet!
Great, can't wait to read the whole book!
Oh I have an idea why he was there ;)
love this six..oh i'm so enjoying my first SSS what a great idea this is!
That scene says so much about her inner conflict. Great job.
And what's he doing wandering around the cliffs without his coat? *gasp* So uncivilized.
If she doesn't stay angry with him she's gonna cave in!
He actually has an excellent reason for being on the cliffs without his coat!
Potent six! Love the tension.
Ha! The wind stole her breath? Love it when heroine is in a tiny bit of denial!
Six terrific sentences, Taryn. Will check out the other blog.
Yeah, she might be in the teensy tiniest bit of denial! Thanks, Cate, Kathleen & Patricia!
Lovely!!! Congrats on the release! :)
Great snippet.
Very nice. Congrats on the upcoming release.
Wind, huh? Wishful thinking on her part, I'm sure.
And once again you've made me wish the end of Feb was already here
