This is taken from the novella "Holiday Inn" by Shelby Reed, one of three stories in an anthology published in 2008. Have only read this one so far. I hope you won't mind a few extra tantalizing lines. *WEG*
In this scene, Jesse and Anna are stranded together during a freak snow storm.
Her eyelids flew open and she stared down into his face, a shudder moving through her. "Did you?"
"In the end, no." He nuzzled her other knee. "Maybe some part of me was hoping you'd let me do this instead."

Here is my teaser from Lipstick in Afghanistan by Roberta Gately (Page 1):
ReplyDelete"Do you hear it?" The voice was almost a whisper.
Elsa held her breath, and then she heard it too, a faint rustling of footsteps over twigs and leaves. Out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed several shadowy figures darting through the trees, and when she turned, she saw a glint of sunlight reflecting off the barrel of an assault rifle.
There was no denying it—the Taliban had found them.
Oh, Jesus! she thought. We'll never escape.
Elsa knew the Taliban's ruthless hatred; the death and destruction they wrought was undeniable.
Seized by a sickening wave of fear, she wanted to cry or throw up, but there was no time. She tried to catch Parween's eye, but her friend was looking back, intent on finding the source of the sound.
"Run!" someone shouted, and suddenly, the chase was on.
