Gwen Stevens had a
privileged life until her father spoke three little words that turned her world
upside down. “You’re cut off.”
Broke
and desperate, Gwen is forced to accept a waitressing job, but this glimmer of
hope has a price. As if being a cocktail waitress isn’t bad enough, she has to
do it in a dive bar called The Den, and her bad luck doesn’t stop there. She
also needs to deal with the new owner, a blue-eyed, self-righteous ass
determined to make her life miserable.
Liam Sinclair
walked away from the entitlement and obligation his family planned for him,
vowing to make his own way in the world…
Adjusting
to life as a new business owner, Liam has experienced more than his fair share
of setbacks. When his only waitress breaks her leg, his sister takes it upon
herself to hire a replacement—a spoiled, self-indulgent hothead with too much
makeup and more than enough attitude. Gwen represents the world he’s trying to
escape, a world of excess and greed that he was never cut out for.
Appearances can be
deceiving, and first impressions aren’t always right…
Despite
their apparent differences, the tension between them turns to a fiery passion
that neither of them can resist. Together they find balance and learn to
appreciate the simpler things in life. But Gwen soon discovers that old habits
die hard, and one mistake is all it takes to ruin everything.
Forgiveness must be
earned, but even a villain deserves a chance at redemption…
“Anything you want to tell me, little
brother?” she asked as she folded her arms across her chest and watched me
closely to gauge my reaction.
I frowned. “Um, No.”
“Really? Nothing new at all in your
life?” She was baiting me into something I was sure was not going to be good.
“I bought a new toaster the other day.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“You should see it, it’s pretty sweet.
Its toasts Darth Vader’s face into the bread.”
Madison growled in frustration and
tossed a breadstick at me.
“Whoa chill cougar,” I laughed.
“Don’t start that.” She pointed her
finger at me. “I get enough of that crap from Margot.”
“Okay,” I said as my laughter died
down.
“So you really have nothing to share?”
“Like what?”
“Like what’s going on with you and
Gwen.” She smiled, her eyebrows disappeared beneath her bangs.
“Oh that.” I ducked my head to hide my
smile.
“Yes that.”
“Who told you?”
“Sean.”
“What? Who told him?”
“I don’t know, someone at the bar I
guess,” she said with a dismissive wave.
“The bar?” Madison shrugged. Then it
hit me. “Sam,” I sighed. “Great now everybody knows.”
“Were you hiding it?”
“No. Not really. We just didn’t want
things to be weird at work.”
“Well, here’s a tip, if you don’t want
the people you work with to know. Don’t have sex in your office.”
I cringed. Hearing my older sister
discuss my sex life was disturbing on a lot of levels.
“So?” she asked.
“So what?”
Madison let out a frustrated groan and
rolled her eyes. “So what’s going on between you and Gwen?”
I wasn’t sure how to answer her. Hell I
wasn’t even one hundred percent sure I even knew how. I sat back in my chair
and played with the edge of my napkin. I was stalling and the look on my
sister’s face said she knew it too.
“I’m not exactly sure,” I said.
She raised an eyebrow and tilted her
head. “Aren’t you living together?” she asked.
“Kind of,” I said.
“Kind of?” she scoffed. “Her clothes
are there, she sleeps in your bed, eats your food, uses your shower.” I nodded
and she sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest. “Sounds like
living together to me.”
“It’s not like we’d been dating for a
while and I asked her to move in. She needed a place to crash. Everything else
came later.”
“Everything else?”
I shrugged. “You know what I mean we
were spending a lot of time together and it just happened.”
“What happened?”
“Sex Madison. We had sex.” I leaned
back in my seat and relived some of our more creative positions in my head as a
grin crept across my face. “Lots and lots of sex.”
Sam
has a slightly unhealthy love for Frank Sinatra, classic movies, and Jazz and
Blues music, but her first love will always be reading. From Romance, to
Thrillers, to Historical Fiction and everything in between, she loves to become
a part of the story. As a writer she tells the stories that she would want to
read.
