~ Synopsis ~
Used… Broken… Confused…
It only took one drunken mistake four
years ago for Maddie Harrington to learn that when you fully give yourself over
to a man, you should never expect anything in return. Since that night, her
views on love have become distorted, believing men would only want her for the
pleasure her body could bring them. She in turn finds herself hooking up with
random guys but never keeps them around long enough to see if there could
possibly be something more.
That is…until Hunter Bryant enters
the picture.
When the handsome pre-med student
shows up in the right place at the right time, captivating her with his stormy
gaze, she immediately pushes him away, thinking he’s no different than any
other guy. The deeper Hunter delves into her life, trying to break through her
iron-clad walls, the more she begins to question whether she is truly capable
of opening her heart up to another man.
Maddie soon finds herself forced to
make a difficult decision, one that will forever change both of their lives.
Will she shut Hunter out of her life for good, or will she finally open up her
heart and allow herself the life she never dreamed she deserved?

~ Excerpt ~
I yawned as I stretched my arms
up over my head, and the blanket slipped away from my still naked body. My
dress from the night before was lying scattered on the floor next to my bra and
panties, and I smiled at the thought of how quickly Jeremy had peeled them off
of me the moment we returned from the club. I grabbed a clean oversized SSU shirt
from the laundry basket and slipped it on before heading to the kitchen to make
some coffee.
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes as
my feet slapped across the cold kitchen floor, I smacked right into the fridge
door. Jesus, what the…
And that’s when I saw it. All
six-foot-four of Robbie’s boyfriend, Lance, was standing there naked as a
jaybird…and at full attention. It was one of those moments where I knew I
should look away; divert my attention to anything but the rigid appendage
pointing directly at me like an English Setter. He slowly brought the carton of
orange juice up to his mouth, but not before I saw a smirk tug at the corner of
his lips. And then I saw it move…
“Eww, eww, eww!” I squeezed my
eyes shut and continued yelling until Robbie came running out his room. I
opened my eyes just enough to see that he was rocking his birthday suit just as
proudly as Lance. Oh, for Pete’s sake…
“Not you, too!” I turned around
so I wasn’t tempted to look.
“What’s wrong, baby girl? What’s
with all the shouting?” Robbie walked over to Lance, snaking the carton of
juice out of his hands to take a swig for himself.
“Will y’all put some damn clothes
on!? Since when do we walk around the apartment with everything hanging out and
flapping in the breeze?”
Robbie chuckled, somehow managing
not to sputter juice everywhere. “Hmm, I don’t remember reading anything about
required attire in your little roommate agreement.”
I spun around and rolled my eyes
at him before turning my attention back up to the ceiling. “Seriously? I didn’t
think it was necessary to include that, since we’re civilized human beings and
all. Or at least I thought we were.”
“Sorry about that, Maddie. I
didn’t think you’d catch me out here. I’ll make sure to at least put boxers on
next time.” Lance winked and pulled me into an awkward side hug that almost
resulted in it touching my leg.
“Hey, you know this is my
apartment, too. I should be able to walk around with my Johnson sprung free if
I want to. You’re more than welcome to join me. It’s no secret that I’m not
offended by the female anatomy.”
“That’s because you’re gay,
dipshit! My lady bits don’t get you all hot and bothered. Me, on the other
hand…it’s just…ughh! It’s just weird, okay!”
“Baby girl, are you trying to
tell me that my sexy ass gives you lady boners?” I could hear Lance chuckling
at Robbie’s comment, and I turned to glare at him. At least he had his boxers
on now.
“Both of you, please, just keep
some clothes on when you’re outside of the bedroom. Seriously, what if I had
company over?” I crossed my arms over my chest, feeling extremely awkward the
longer our conversation went on. It was becoming more difficult to keep eye
contact with Robbie, considering the current state he was in.
“Is Jeremy still here?” Robbie
wasn’t exactly his biggest fan, and I could hear it in his tone.
“No. He left hours ago. Don’t try
to change the subject. Just promise me you’ll keep your…member…covered from now
on. Okay?”
Robbie smiled and grabbed a
dishtowel, covering himself as he crossed the kitchen in my direction. My body
stiffened in response to his close proximity, but he leaned in just close
enough to press a kiss against my forehead. “I promise, baby girl. It won’t
happen again.”
He took off toward his bedroom
with Lance in tow. They were sickeningly sweet together, but I really was happy
that they had each other. When Robbie first moved in, I was a little
apprehensive about living with a guy. Just one look at him and I knew it would
be impossible to avoid falling into bed with him. He was six-foot-two-inches of
delicious eye candy: jet black hair, ice-blue eyes and a killer smile. When he
told me he was gay, I was both relieved and disappointed. Why was it the hot ones were always gay? I swore it was like the
universe was plotting against me every time I came across a decent,
good-looking guy.
