blurb
Love can either destroy you, or bring you back to
life.
Dom, Casa & Harlow
1992
Casa
only cares for two things in this life: his club—the Devil’s Highwaymen—and
sex. That is until he meets Harlow. She’s feisty, passionate, and doesn’t fall
for his usual charms. She’s perfect for him…but she belongs to someone else.
Harlow
is broken; she has been for a long time. With nowhere to go, and worse, no one
to go to, she’s become a clubslut for the West Side Bangers. That is until a
chance meeting with her old friend and former lover, Dom, brings their worlds
colliding together once more.
Dom
is on a one-way train to hell; the guilt of losing his soulmate is killing
him—but he can’t tell anyone about it. That is until he finds a brief respite
from his suffering in the form of Harlow, the woman whose heart he once broke.
With
all three set on their own self-destructive paths, they’ve only got one chance
to make things right—but only if they can learn to forgive, and then to love
again.
The
funny thing about love is, it’s both painless and painful, and not even death can end the suffering.
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT!
“Fine.”
I slung my backpack over both shoulders and climbed on behind him, wrapping my
arms around his waist tightly so I didn’t fall off. He smelled good, like smoke
and oil and something musky. I hadn’t noticed before because I’d been too
upset, but I couldn’t miss it now, and my nipples grew hard. I just hoped he
couldn’t feel them through the back of his cut. I rested my cheek against his
back, breathing him in. Finally feeling safe.
“Gonna
have to hold on tighter than that, girl,” Casa breathed out. He reach down and
took my hands before pulling my arms tighter around him. “That’s better.”
Was
it? I wondered. Because I could hardly breath being this close to him. And not
because of how tightly he was forcing me to hold on, but because being this
close to Casa was like walking into a room where all the air had been sucked
out of. Because Casa, and his beautiful dirty mouth, had stolen the air from
it.
Casa
was a dangerous man. Not just to the people he chose to cut down for the love
and loyalty of his club, but to my heart. It should be frightening; to be this
close to someone so dangerous, yet I was not afraid of him. He made me feel
alive in the most beautiful way, making my skin prickle with excitement every
time he spoke. Or worse, when he touched me.
Because
with Casa, there was never an innocent touch.
“Gonna
have to say the magic words, H,” Casa said with a chuckle.
“Magic
words?” I asked, pulling my face away from his back to peer round and up into
his face. “What magic words?”
He
tutted. “They wouldn’t be magic if everyone knew them, H”
“Well
then how will I…” An idea came to me and I laughed. “Final call for Mars?” I
asked hesitantly.
“There
you go,” he said with another chuckle. I felt his stomach muscles move under my
grip as he laughed which sent a delicious shiver straight to my core, my
nipples hardening even more.
“You
know that’s a ridiculous password, right?” I smirked.
“Magic
words,” he corrected.
“Whatever.”
He
smirked back. “Told you, girl, you’re from Mars or some shit because there
ain’t nothing normal about you, or this situation.”
And
the way he looked at me, made it clear that this was all new to him too. For a
split second, his façade fell away and his gaze spoke more truths than I’d ever
been told in my lifetime. I blinked and it was gone.
“Gonna
ride now, H.” He winked. “You good?”
I
nodded because with Casa, I was more than good. I pressed my face against his
back and squeezed him close as he pulled out of the parking lot and the world
passed us by in a blur.
