Teaser Tuesdays - March 8th

Labels:


If you'd like to play along on Teaser Tuesdays, just click the button above.


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This week I'm reading...



Jessica took a little step closer, placing herself inches from him. "You get this, Mr. Carven. I'm not in the habit of accepting a job, driving hundreds of miles to get there, and being fired upon arrival for no apparent reason."

"I've already told you. I will pay you for your time."

The idea that he thought she could be paid off made Jessica even madder. "I don't want to be paid for my time. I want the job."

"I'm sorry, that isn't possible," he said sternly.

"Is the position already filled?"

"No."

"Then it is possible," she said.
