“You
think I’m going to allow you to fob me off with some kind of glorified
nursemaid, you’d better think again.”
“Nursemaid!”
The
explosion when it came ripped the air as cleanly as the knife he’d thrown at
the wall. “Nursemaid,” he repeated in a voice colder than an arctic wind, and
watched in fascination as she stood up straight, flexed her shoulders, crossed
the room and snatched a couple of foils of the wall and threw one at him.
Sunlight
glinted on the blade in her hand and the deep red hair, almost auburn, he
thought, and wondered why it reminded him of a halo. If she was an angel she’d come straight from
the fires of Hell.

Well, hello angel. Guess she's not going to be pushed around. I love a strong heroine. Great six!
This is a fantastic exchange! I love a feisty heroine. And this one is a spitfire! Well done!
Oh my! She sounds like an awesome woman!
:-) Thanks Gem, yeah, she's had no intention of making life easy for me or her hero!
Thanks Jenna, I think she's going to cause me some problems along the way!
Bless, Lisa, awesome maybe, but I'm beginning to believe it's not only her hero she's intends to take on!!
Great six, Sherry! I love that he gives her angel qualities even when she's throwing things at him! :)
:-) Thanks Jane, I appreciate your feedback.
*chuckles* Love the way he sees her! Can't wait to read more about these two. Sounds like a hot romance!
This is so good. What a woman! And I wish I'd thought of that last line.
Dianne, I believe they are both going to keep me on their toes.
Oh wow, Elaine, thank you for your kind words. :-)
What a great six! She sounds more like a hellcat than an angel LOL!
:-) Paula, at the moment it's a toss-up who's going to have more trouble from her, me, or the hero :-) Thanks for coming by.
I love everything about this. The pacing, the descriptions, and the final thought ... awesome!
