Sunday Snippet-Body of Work
It’s June! How did this happen? 😉
Thanks for stopping by to check out my Sunday snippet. This excerpt is from my May release, BODY OF WORK, and comes to you via the Weekend Warrior Writers.
She handed the bartender the cash and lifted the glass. The aromas of sugar and alcohol filled her nose. She believed him that it’d taste good, but she bet the innocent-looking concoction still held the power to numb her face. “It’s really pretty, what is it?”

“Ooh, sounds dangerous — should I be scared?”
Another laugh as he placed her change on the bar. “Only if you have multiple sightings.”
Yup, that’s a real drink. Here’s how you make it:
In a glass, layer equal quantities of melon liqueur, Bailey’s Irish Cream, and Jägermeister, in that order. Then, bottoms up!

Loved the way you worked in his Scottish heritage with the story. Really rounded out his character. Very enjoyable book — and wow, did they have sex a lot. Hot, steamy sex.

“innocent-looking concoction” sounds really innocent indeed.
