After discovering her fiancé and lifelong best friend’s betrayal, Deidra escapes to a secluded Colorado cabin for Christmas, hoping to heal. Instead, she finds Jinx, the arrogant bad boy she’s always clashed with, along with his troubled young son. As forced proximity turns hostility into unexpected attraction, Deidra risks falling for the last man she ever expected. But when vacation ends, can their fragile romance survive real life?
Deidra’s P.O.V. ******************************* There have been a lot of moments in my life that have rendered me speechless. When I was 10, and walked out of the bathroom at school with my skirt tucked into my underwear, and was called out about it in front of the entire class. When I was 13, and got…
Until I’d finally had enough one day. After Waylen sat in a booth for two hours, sick as sh.it and running a high fever, I lost my sh.it. That was about two years ago now. I took my apron off, told Big Ricky I’d be back, and drove me and Waylon to the gates of…
“You really think this wouldn’t matter to me?” I asked incredulously. “Theo and I are supposed to get married next month!” I shouted. “You were supposed to be my maid of honor! Christmas is next week! We had plans to… And you’ve been fu.cking him! You betrayed me in the worst way possible, and you…
“For what it’s worth,” Honey spoke up. “Pretty sure he’d let ya go once you tell him. If you ask me, it was deserved.” I smiled at her. “Hey, how’s Waylen doing, by the way?” I asked. “Jinx’s kid?” She asked with a confused expression. “Yeah, the little cutie patootie with a dipsh.it for a…
By the time I was released, it was nearly the next day. Captain Russo wasn’t too happy that I made him wait so long. It didn’t help that the president of the Salvation Knights showed up in the middle of it all to get Honey either. The man was pi.ssed. I’d seen War around town,…
Jinx’s P.O.V. ******************************* “You gonna tell me why the hell you decided to walk from school to town?” I asked Waylen once we were back at the clubhouse. We were still in my truck and I just parked in the lot. Waylen’s only seven, and too young to ride my bike. And I doubted he’d…
“There’s my WayWay!” Mom called out the moment she saw Waylen. He ran to her, throwing himself in her arms. “I see you found him,” she said to me with her arms still wrapped around Waylen. “Can I help with the cookies Granny?” Waylen asked her. “We got a whole bunch set up for you…
“I just don’t know what to do,” I said again. “Waylen is just… bored here. There are no other kids to hang with. I’m not exactly nurturing like a mom would be.” “Deidra Hartman’s nurturing?” Void blurted with a raised brow, looking genuine. “Can we stop fu.cking bringing that woman into the conversation?” I snapped.…
Sighing, I decided it wouldn’t hurt to ask. The most Dave could say was that he’s all out of favors now. I technically have until the 1st to get everything out, but since I’m leaving on Sunday, I really only have this weekend. I found Dave in his office, lounging back in his chair and…
Sighing, Psych took one corner of the mattress and Villain took the other. “I’m not touching that thing if Sophie Macroy fu.cked on it,” Void stated. “Yuck!” “Haven’t you both slept with her?” I asked him. “Hell, she’s told me about nearly the whole fu.cking club.” “Has she now?” he muttered. “Who all she name…
