Synopsis:
Kind
hearted and naive, Paige Jacobs wants what every girl craves…to be
loved. She uses this need to make excuses when her current
boyfriend goes from being a tad jealous and slightly overprotective
to stalker-ish. She isn’t that girl and Craig isn’t one of those
guys. Things are fine. Perfectly fine. Until the moment a
dark-haired, tattooed hottie with a snarky mouth walks into her life and
tells her she deserves better.
Confident and boldly spoken, Cameron Green has always been the guy bad girls can’t get enough of and all the good girls want to tame. He’s lived a lavish lifestyle filled with drugs, women, and alcohol up until his destructive path finally caught up with him. Now Cameron isn’t sure what to do with himself or how to dampen the longing for something more festering inside of him since coming out of his drug-induced haze. But when he meets a doe-eyed girl who gets past his walls like no other, everything about him clicks into place.
Together the two learn there are emotions that hold within them all the power to control you…

Excerpt
Excerpt One:
Once outside, I pulled a cigarette from my pack and lit it. Inhaling the rich taste of nicotine
and menthol into my lungs, I felt myself calm. Closing my eyes, I thought of the night I gained
the scar on my right wrist. It had been a year ago.
“I’m such a fuck up.” My voice had cracked when the words came out.
“So change…”
Eva’s words echoed through my mind. I had changed. I’d taken her advice and checked into
rehab. No one knew besides her and Scott; I’d kept it a secret. I’d even kept my failed attempt
at suicide a secret. I’d been sober now for a year, and had been slowly working my way back to
becoming someone my parents would have been proud of. Hearing Scott say those words to me
today had meant more than he would ever know.
Taking a drag off my cigarette, I smiled.
After pulling out my cell, I dialed the one person I needed to be with tonight. She answered
on the third ring.
“You know you shouldn’t call me at five o’clock unless you’re going to take me out to eat,”
Eva muttered as a greeting when she answered.
I chuckled. “That’s exactly why I was calling. So, what’s your answer?”
“I get to pick the place and you can pay the bill.” I could hear the playful smirk in her voice as
she spoke. We both knew she’d be paying for her portion of the meal. Eva never let me buy her
anything, but it was fun to joke about it anyway. When I’d paid her rent for the year, she hadn’t
even known until she attempted to make a payment a little late one month.
“Sounds fine by me.” I put my cigarette out and dug in my pocket for my keys. “I’ll be there
in fifteen.”
“I’ll be waiting,” Eva said in a singsong voice before she hung up.
I grinned like a fool as I slid into my car. She was going to be so fucking surprised at dinner
tonight when I pulled out the bracelet I’d bought her. Hell, I might walk away from dinner with a
black eye after she beat the shit out of me for buying her something. Tonight was a celebration of
when she’d saved my life though. Eva didn’t know it, but I was about to pamper her ass for the
night whether she wanted it or not. She deserved it.
**Excerpt Two**
I folded the skinny jeans in my hands and chuckled. “How do you fit in these? Don’t your
legs feel like they’re lacking circulation when you wear them?”
Eva shot me a go-to-hell look. “Are you calling me fat?”
Placing the jeans on top of the other pairs I’d managed to fold, I laughed. “You know that’s
not what I meant.”
She grinned. “Yeah, I know, but you walked right into that one. And, no, they don’t cut off
my circulation. They’re stretchy.”
“Stretchy, right, and that makes them seem to fit better? Some women need to realize that just
because an article of clothing is made of stretchy material it doesn’t necessarily make them look
good in it.” I picked the jeans back up and held them out to her. “Here, go try these on and let me
make sure you don’t fall into that category.”
She smacked me across the chest. “Shut up. You know if anyone should be giving someone
hell, it should be me giving you hell. I mean, you’re folding laundry on a Thursday night with
me. Since when did you become so domesticated?” She grinned.
I pursed my lips together; she was right. It was Thursday night and I had nothing better to do
besides stay at her place and help fold her freaking laundry. What the hell was the world coming
to?
“Yeah, well, I could be asking you the same thing, sweetheart.”
“Don’t call me sweetheart. You know how much I hate your little pet names,” she grumbled.
“And you know why I’m home. The loser I chose this time was just that, a loser. What’s your
excuse?” She arched an eyebrow at me.
“I’m a recovering addict; becoming a homebody is logically my next step. If I don’t cut
myself off from fun, I might relapse.” I was kidding, slightly. The last week or so had been
tough, and thoughts of using to escape the mental anguish I’d found myself in had been
tempting.
“Not funny.” Eva frowned.
“I wasn’t trying to be.”
