My snippet this week is from Something Beginning With ‘V’ which comes out on Friday, as part of the Valentine Delights anthology from Love Lane Books. So you can read the whole thing! There are some really great stories and authors included, and it’s free. I’ll add links to it here, when I get them.
And of course, you can see lots of other snippets on the Facebook page.

As Elliot told the story – and then tried to brush away the serious atmosphere by making light of his anxieties, as he always did – Daniel had wanted more than anything to be able to take his hand. Nothing more. Simply wanted to give him a touch, some comfort, some reciprocation of the intimacy of Elliot sharing something so personal. Except he didn’t. He knew intellectually that it was a ploy on Elliot’s part to keep his boss’s mind of his stupid ankle, no matter how his heart ached for it to be something more. So he sat on his hands and gritted his teeth instead.

That’s sounds like a complicated relationship. Now I’m curious. 🙂

Definitely complex. I was slightly confused, no doubt because the snippet it taken out of context but I can definitely tell it’s going to be an interesting story with engaging characters.

Intriguing. I’m wondering if Daniel is right in the way he’s trying to second guess Elliot.
Jana Denardo February 8, 2016
Interesting.

Hopefully Daniel isn’t right about Elliott.

Aww. 🙁 I hope it ends up being something more!
