Another lovely Sunday has rolled around. Where has the week gone? I’m continuing with snippets from my current WIP, Forsaking the Prize. This is another example of how utterly problematic Tobias Randall is for Blythe’s peace of mind.

The door swung fully open. “You can’t leave until your name is cleared. Neither can I, for that matter,” Tobias Randall added cheerfully.
Blythe glanced at him and looked away quickly, fighting to keep a blush from her cheeks. Tobias Randall had come to add his tuppence worth to the discussion but was only dressed in a sheet. How typical of his type of man.

Forsaking the Prize
She was a faithful widow until…
Abducted at fourteen and sent away to sea, rough and ready sailor Tobias Randall endured exile and cruelty only to have his plans for revenge crumble. He may have made a terrible first impression upon his return to Romsey Abbey, but he has a plan to reclaim his place—he’ll marry quickly and marry a woman of wealth. Yet the perils of life at sea are nothing compared to the danger of attempting polite conversation with a proper lady.
… he reawakened her heart
Blythe, Lady Venables, may be revered as a faithful, proper widow, but a cruel misunderstanding has placed her sanity in doubt. Determined to clear her name, she forms an uneasy truce with the wildest Randall of all, Tobias—a man shamelessly willing to seduce her—to uncover the mystery plaguing Romsey Abbey. With doubts and fears against them, Tobias and Blythe each venture into uncharted territory – love and scandal.
Forsaking the Prize is a steamy regency romance novel.

Typical yes, but not stupid! Lol Fun six, Heather!
Thanks for dropping by Ryan!
I like it! The last line made me chuckle… Well done!
Yay. Mission accomplished. Thanks
Dressed in a sheet? Intriguing! Great job. 🙂
LOL — this is great fun. I love Tobias and his cheerfulness. And his clothing choice. 🙂
How intriguing – dressed only in a sheet?
Well, what kind of sheet? plain ? floral? king size? – yeah would have to be king sized 😀
Love the way this snippet ended, left me dying for MORE! Well done 🙂
I agree, loved this snippet– you’ve done a great job catching his character here!
Haha! Love his clothing choice, by his knowing smile certainly chosen just to see the lovely blush upon her cheeks. Fab six!
He didnt honestly have much of a choice. His brother had appropriated his clothes but underestimated just how far Tobias would go to join in on the conversation.
Oooh, I like him already! What a great six!
Great six. You can really feel her discomfort. He’s definitely someone I’d like to get to know.
Nice six, makes me want to know more about their relationship and what is going on.
Intriguing six! Sounds like she has gotten herself into quite a predicament. 🙂
Thanks everyone for the feedback on my current wip. To avoid potential spoilers, I’m shifting to another story next week. :o)
Ooh, intriguing! Back for more next week! 😀
