Snippet Sunday

From The Laird Needs a Wife (Chapter 1)


As jail cells went, she’d seen worse. Compared to Thailand, a holding cell in Paris could be considered luxurious. It had stainless steel benches bolted to the walls. It smelled like disinfectant rather than urine. And they even had the courtesy to provide a toilet. Diana Nichols shook her head as she silently laughed. She’d screwed up again. If she hadn’t been self-employed, she’d be fired.

  8. Oh, I like this heroine. She knows her way around a jail cell--and is even able to give it Michelin ratings. LOL!
