#SixSentenceSunday with Unrequited Mate
Since TL and I are knee deep in writing Bearing It All, our third book in our TSU series. I thought today I'd share six sentences from Unrequited Mate, the book which started it all. It was my first contracted book, although not first published. Hayden and Nico will always have a special place in my heart because of that.
Hayden Raferty, left behind her entire family and all her friends to get away from her mate, Nico Lopez. In a single night, he crushed her hopes and dreams of finding true love. Now, years later, Hayden has decided to move on and start over.
Nico Lopez knows he screwed up, but letting his mate walk away isn’t in his plans. It's time to make his move. With a little help from 555-ROAR, Nico obtains a spot in the Greek Shifter Games and is determined to show his mate there isn’t another male worthy of her. If has to put his body on the line to prove it, so be it.
“Little wolf,” he crooned. So lost in thought, she hadn’t seen him scale the wall and position himself in front of her.
“I’m not your little wolf anymore, Nico.” She looked everywhere but at him. “You’re also not very original.”
“Oh, you still are. I am going to prove it.” He took her hand in his and kissed her knuckles, ignoring her comment. “Make sure you’re watching me out there.” He gave her a cocky grin then jumped back down and got into line.
“He’s dreamy,” Emma sighed.
“Sure, in a mangy mutt sort of way,” Hayden agreed.
“He’s not mangy at all,” Terri sighed.
Hayden’s lip curled. “Sure.”
“Don’t poke the wolf,” Zoe piped up. “That guy is her mate. Hands off. Eyes off.”
“Sorry,” Emma murmured. “I didn’t know.”
Hayden’s shoulders sagged. She hated being a raging bitch. “Don’t worry about it. He’s not really mine. Everyone keeps saying he is, but it’s not true.” The horn blew again, giving her an out on the conversation. “I guess we should pay attention now.”
