Book Description:

Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected…

Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help.

What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…



Excerpt:

“Boys this is Della. Tripp’s friend,” she smiled at me then pointed to an attractive guy that reminded me so much of Tripp I wasn’t surprised when she said, “That’s Jace.” She then pointed to a guy with long blond curls and a mischievous grin. “That’s Thad.” He winked and I decided I liked him. He had that ‘just for fun’ look about him. “And this is Grant who surprised us by showing up. We thought he was up north again.”  Grant was by far the best looking out of the trio. His dark hair was tucked behind his ears and he had a twinkle in his eye. The sexy smirk he was sending my way was extremely tempting.
    
 “Hello Della, why don’t you come share my seat. I’ll even let you sip from my beer,” Grant drawled.
    
 I thought about saying no but then caught myself and flashed him a smile in return before walking over toward him. “You gonna scoot over or am I supposed to sit in your lap?” I asked hoping the teasing in my voice didn’t sound stupid.
     
Grant’s smirk grew into a full blow grin. “Hell yeah, I want you to sit in my lap,” he replied.
     
I was trying to decide if Braden would think this was a bold fun move or if I was coming off as a slut. I could never tell. She was always my gauge for what I should and shouldn’t do. Which was one reason she sent me off to figure life out all by myself.
     
I might as well go with it now. I’d already acted like a hussy. I stepped over his legs he had propped up on the iron rail that went around the outside of the fire pit and then took a sit in the stranger’s lap.
     
“He won’t be here long, baby. You might wanna come over here to this lap. I never leave this place,” Thad said from across the fire.
     
Grants arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me back against his chest.  “You never know, Thad. I might have found a reason to stick around awhile.”
    
 I was pretty sure I was in over my head.
     
“Grant, play nice. She’s a friend of Tripp’s,” Bethy scolded. I wondered if she was thinking I was some kind of cheap whore now.
     
“Don’t go getting all tense in my lap now, sweetheart. Lean back and get comfortable,” Grant whispered in my ear. His smooth southern accent made me feel warm. I liked this guy. I managed to relax and do as he said.
    
 “Here, you can have my beer. I’ll get another one next time one of these chumps gets up for another round.”
    
 I didn’t really care for beer. But I also didn’t want to be rude so I took it. “Thanks.”
     
“You’re most welcome.”
     
I was surprised that his hands didn’t go to my legs but one stayed around my waist and the other was resting on the arm of the chair. I liked that. He wasn’t assuming I was easy because I’d just crawled into his lap.
    
 “Tell us about Tripp. We haven’t seen him in forfuckinever,” Thad said.

  3. I'm confused lol. I haven't read Rush and Blaire's story though which could be one of the reasons I am soooo utterly confused right now. Grant's not Woods right? So why would Della sit in his lap? And who is Tripp? Gahhh.. I need to read this series asap. Thanks for sharing, Valerie!
