The Bridge Between

-->
Thanks so much for visiting every week! I really enjoy reading everyone else's snippets. Hope you enjoy reading mine. I'm grateful for your comments!

This snippet's from The Bridge Between, due for release soon -- I think -- from Whiskey Creek Press.

This scene takes place after Jessie shares a very good weekend with Billy. He's struggling with alcoholism, so Jessie's struggling with it as well. Time with Billy can be wonderful, or awful. Jessie doesn't know how if she can strike a balance between the two:


His eyes searched hers. “Jessie…”
An odd tension came over her, the sensation that he might be about to say something they both would later regret. She pressed her lips to his, silencing him. Whatever he’d been about to say came out in a moan. His arms tightened around her like a python, nearly too tight, so she had to fight to breathe. If that’s what it took to keep Billy on the surface, up from the depths, she surrendered herself to it, gave herself over, held him just as tightly so he would know she needed him to keep her afloat every bit as much.

Yes, I finally have a cover! Yay. You can see it below. I think this will be my last six from  this novel.
