Thanks for stopping by 8 Sentence Sunday. Here is a snippet from my WIP, The Cardiff Family Novels Book 3. Meet Quinn.

It was too far to tell whether it was a man or woman, but he suspected the blonde hadn’t run far enough.

There was no one else on the Nile banks this time of night. The blonde had plenty of time to disappear, and now he had no time to sweet-talk her. If she was thinking of blackmail, he’d get it over with quickly. With one hand resting lightly on the gun, he made the trek down the strip, brilliant lights on the left, a darkened Nile on the right.

He stopped before the fallen woman, who was curled into a fetal position, naked and not blonde. The blackest hair he’d ever seen covered most of her, but the shivering limbs he glimpsed seemed luminous. There was no moon tonight, and yet her skin glowed, like the alabaster figurines the locals sold at the bazaars on Sharia al-Lokanda.

A little background Book 3 and this snippet: Quinn is Angel’s uncle. Angel helped kick off the Cardiff Novel series in Book 1, Falcon’s Angel. Most people don’t know Quinn is a Cardiff and that is just the way he wants it. Unfortunately for Quinn, the truth is about to be revealed. 

Want to start the Cardiff series? Falcon’s Angel, A Cardiff Novel Book 1 is available at Liquid Silver Books.

  26. Wow, this snippet is beautiful and so well detailed. The atmosphere is absorbing and the reader immediately is drawn into whatever is going on, and we desperately want to know what the hell is going on–from the escaped blonde to this glowing beauty found by the nile, naked and shivering. Wonderful work.
