With Nick by her side, thizz flowing through her veins, and Matt keeping all her secrets – Dani settles into her new life; forgetting about the tragedy that drove her there, and the plan she had to escape.

Matt fell in love with Dani the first time he saw her.   He also knew whatever drove her from San Francisco to Eureka in her last semester of high school wasn’t something she wanted to share.  When she finally started to open up, Matt hesitated just long enough for his best friend Nick to swoop in. Forced to sit and watch their relationship grow, Matt also learns of Dani’s obsession with Thizz.  He secretly feeds her addiction in a desperate attempt to win her heart.

Pressured into joining Nick’s crew, Matt finds himself in the middle of Eureka’s own hyphy movement and the hit list of a local biker gang. When a school project uncovers a disturbing link between Dani’s parents and Nick’s uncle, Matt is torn between his loyalty to Nick and his feelings for Dani as he tries to convince Dani that her life is in real danger; while persuading Nick to turn on his uncle to save the girl they love.

 EXCERPT:

“I’m wrapping up a meeting.” She gestured toward her group. “The Gothic Revival Fair committee.”

He stifled a laugh. “Seriously?”

“Very serious. It’s an annual thing.” She rested a hand on the bar and smoothed another over her hip.

Britt sauntered back into view, dimples gone. She plunked down a little wire basket containing cutlery, napkins, ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper. “Another round, Kate?”

“Thanks, Britt.” Kate spared her a glance then pointed to a poster tacked to the wall. “The fair’s the last weekend of October. This year it’s an Edgar Allen Poe theme. The whole town goes all out with street vendors, readings of the tarot and palm variety, as well as literary ones.”

“‘Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary...’”

“Impressive. You know your Poe.” Kate squirmed closer as a guy squeezed in to give Britt his order.

“The first couple of lines, anyway. I can’t say as anyone’s found that impressive before.” Seth worked at not inhaling her scent, but it wafted out to surround him. Everything hot and sultry, like bazaars, spices, and colorful scarves. Desert heat in September on the Canadian Prairies. Sweat dampened the back of his neck, the palms of his hands. The unexpected reaction had him grabbing for his beer.

“Well.” She gave the bar a pat and straightened up. “See you Thursday.”

She headed back to her table. Hips swaying, curves covered but impossible to hide, and calves accentuated by the killer heels. Her father, his boss, would smite him down for noticing. He hadn’t needed to hear Bill Logan’s “I’m trusting you, boy,” on his way out the door to know it.

So, it was a good thing she wasn’t his type.

“You’ve met our local celebrity.” Britt set his meal down in front of him.

Food, exactly what he needed. He grabbed for the ketchup bottle and lifted the bun off his burger. “Celebrity?”

AUTHOR BIO:

I grew up on a farm in the middle of Canada's breadbasket. Under the canopy of crisp blue prairie skies I read books. Lots and lots of books. One day the inevitable happened and I knew without question the time was right. What to write was never the issue - romance and the gut wrenching journey towards forever.
