Since so many of you have told me you’re grooving on it, here’s more of The Desert Fox and The Iberico Clavel for you! Remember, this is the third book in the Iron Angel series – if you like this, go pick up book one and get more than six sentences at a time!

“Senorita Vega, I say it now, though I have never said it before, and shall not live to say it again. You should have been a boy!”
His proclamation made, the old man fell into another fit of coughing. This time there was blood in the phlegm that flew from his lips. His eyes did not close, not once as he hacked his life away.

Intense six and great description! Enjoy your Sunday
I love the opening you used for this six. Not only did it make me chuckle, it also made me wonder about the relationship the two share, thier back story, and whether or not the the line was meant to be a jest, insult, or genuine desire. Nice job!
