Hump Day Hook - Post 6

Today's Hump Day Hook comes from my romantic suspense, THE OPEN WATER SWIMMER.  Jeff Dickson is a hunky professional athlete-competing world wide in the 10 K open water swimming marathon. But racing in the ocean can be dangerous in ways the reader might not expect...

A sudden numbness shot through his body. His stroke cadence slackened. He fought to turn it back up, but his arms refused to cooperate. His legs, too. Damn.  What is going on? His body sank instead of moving forward. He tried to shout for help, but only his eyes and nose cleared the surface while his voice gurgled through a layer of water.




He's destined to die. Can she change his fate?

    Nice hook! My DH swims and has done open water. Yeah, not as easy as one thinks and can be dangerous. Thanks for sharing. :)
