Seventeen-year-old Emmy O’Connell is
the epitome of a hot mess.
Her
boyfriend’s been shipped out of town to some boarding school four states away.
Her step-douche is constantly drunk and badgering her. And then there’s her
good-ole-mom… The lady is nothing more than a miserable shell of a woman. She’s
turned off all of her feelings and her ability to be a good mother as well,
leaving poor Emmy and her four year old brother Jamie to suffer. Life couldn’t
get much worse, right?
Enter the elusive, cocky, and
oh-so-broody Jack Hartman…
The
jerk cousin of her boyfriend becomes Emmy’s worst nightmare…times ten. He’s
cruel. He’s insensitive. But he also has this strange little ability over her –
he makes her weak in the knees with thea single touch. No matter how miserable
or amazing Jack makes her feel, Emmy can’t seem to deny him, especially when he
takes on the role of her protector –her pseudo-knight in a black leather coat.
A
knight who also happens to ride in on his black Harley, instead of a white
horse…
And to make a bad situation worse…
Werewolves
and teens shouldn’t mix! But what can Emmy do when she finds herself thrown
head first into the center of it all. Can she handle the supernatural mess her
life rapidly becomes or will she fight against the inevitable fate her heart
desires?
Excerpt:
“That
smart mouth doesn’t sit well with me,” he licked his lips. His eyes never
wavered from mine.
I nibbled on my lower lip, just as a small
smile graced the edges of my mouth. Oh yeah, my bravado was about ready to kick
some ass. I think I kind of liked being a smart ass.
“What
are you going to do about it Jack?” I inhaled a breath, taking in his warm,
delicious scent. My throat went even drier than before. I practically stared
holes into his face as I studied every tiny mark, every single scar on his
perfectly flawed skin. He was gorgeous, with a little scar here, a little white
patch there. His hotness could have left me breathless for days if I kept up my
perusal any longer.
And
then I blinked, Christ. I knew exactly what had to be done. I had to kiss him.
I had to get this itch scratched and then I had to move on. His eyes darkened,
his breath was warm and heavy over my face, and he licked his lips. I blinked.
Holy-balls… He wanted to kiss me too.
That
ever-present electricity running between us wouldn’t stop. If anything, it only
increased our pull. I moved in; his lips touching my lips was all I wanted. I
needed to feel again, feel it all with a boy who hated me, but apparently
wanted to kiss me as badly.
Dryness on dryness soon changed to warmth on
warmth, and when I pressed my mouth fully to his, his hands left my neck, and
went to my waist. His fingernails dug into my sides and the son of a bitch
pushed me away from him.
So
there I was, my head tilted to the side, ready, willing, and able to do
whatever the hell this moment led us too, and all he could do was chuckle. Yes.
Chuckle. He was the biggest rat bastard.
Ever.
