It’s up on the Samhain coming soon page (and you can read an excerpt there too!) so I’m posting it here too for your viewing pleasure:
He blew his chance once. Now he intends to blow her mind…
Rick blew it, and he’s never forgotten it. It’s bad enough his best friend Jesse showed his true colors and stole Blair, the girl Rick wanted. Rick never understood what Blair saw in the loser, and still kicks himself for letting her slip through his fingers. But what’s done is done.
Blair is horrified when she realizes that Jesse’s lies cost her the happiness she might have found with Rick. It’s been over with Jesse, but he won’t leave her alone. Help comes from a totally unexpected source—Rick.
When Rick sees them together, he’s confused but tells himself to get over it. Until Jesse lays a hand on her in anger. Now all bets are off. A second chance is all he’s ever wanted and he intends to use it…up against a wall, in his bed, over and over again.
Until she surrenders to the idea that she was meant to be his girl. Forever.
This is a short but hot little story. I had a lot of fun writing it. As you can assume, I was inspired by the old Rick Springfield song. One day I heard it on the radio and thought, “That would make a great story…” and I took it from there.
Jesse’s Girl will be available August 11! Did I mention that my Naughty & Spice girls Shelli Stevens and Lillian Feisty also have a release that day? Watch for a special promotion coming from the three of us! Yay!
