Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, where writers post 8-10 sentences of a published work or work in progress. Today I'm posting an excerpt from The Hitman Who Loved Me, the final book to McCoy's Boys. This scene starts off with Terry (hero from book 2) questioning Sam on when he would date a woman who didn’t need to be institutionalized. “There was nothing wrong with Annie.” Terry roared with laughter. “She painted her toenails five times a day, all different colors.” Sam shrugged. “She had cute feet, so what?” “Didn’t she try to paint yours one day?” He ignored that question.

She had a smile that could undo the stitches on his gitch. The McCoy empire is under siege, and Sam Hayes has been tapped to take care of the culprit.

Maybe the hard-bodied hitman just can’t wrap his mind around the fact that the first woman to set his soul on fire is a common criminal. The only thing Sam can do is keep her close.

He's definitely hooked. If a man allows a woman to paint his toenails, then he is hers.

Well, you know he was hooked if he'd let her do what she wants in the hopes that she'll do what he wants...

Thank you for stopping by to comment, everyone! Just to clarify, gitch is gotch (men's underwear), for those that didn't understand the term. Until next time!
