*unedited and subject to change* I squared my shoulders as I ran my tongue over my dry lips. I hated having to shout over a crowd like an animal begging for a small treat, or in this case, a blurb from some pompous jerk. “Mr. Gibson, can you tell me what it as about the character that drew you to this part?” He ran his hand through his messy, just fucked hair and his emerald eyes scanned the crowd. “No more questions, thanks.” The man next to Drake called out. Drake smiled out at the crowd and turned to leave. Maybe I was upset I had to attend this event, maybe it was my boyfriend forgetting our anniversary, but the anger boiled up inside of me and I couldn’t help my sudden case of word vomit. “I’m guessing it is because you are both assholes.” The group of reporters around me gasped. They actually gasped and Drake Gibson stopped walking. I squeezed my eyes closed, praying to the gods that he would start walking again and I could go home without total humiliation. No such luck. As I opened my eyes I was face to face with one of the most handsome men to ever walk the face of the earth and god did he smell like sex on a stick. I took a deep breath in through my nose as he stared at me like he wanted to eat me alive and not in a sexy romance novel kind of way. More like Hannibal after Lent. He leaned in closer, his nose skimming along my check until his warm breath tickling my ear as he began to whisper. “Do you like your job?” He asked quietly. I nodded because I had somehow forgotten how to use my words like a big girl in his presence. “If you’d like to keep it, you may want to learn when to keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut.” Amazon: http://amzn.to/1dFpRZh Goodreads: http://bit.ly/1OalqCz  Gabby plays a very dangerous game...

I will have a release date very soon for The Good Girls. Pre-order links will be up in a few days. *Unedited and subject to change* Prologue - Cara I woke up on a Tuesday. My eyes fluttered open and I glanced around the stark white room. I was surrounded by paper swans that hung from the ceiling and I held my breath, afraid that I didn’t survive my attack. Was this Heaven? Had they somehow let me slip through? The beeping of machines filled my ears but a blurred vision of Ellie was what I struggled to focus on. “I’m here,” she spoke and the beeping of my heart monitor increased as her fingers wrapped around mine. I tried to speak but my throat was raw and sore. A nurse was quickly by my side to give me a sip of water. “Your throat was injured in the attack. Just take it easy,” the nurse said as she placed her hand on my shoulder. I kept my eyes locked on El as if she was an illusion that would vanish if I looked away. Please don’t disappear. The nurse made a few notes on a clipboard and asked me a few questions before finally giving me a moment alone with Ellie. She leaned down, placing her forehead against mine and I finally let my eyes close. “We don’t have much time,” she whispered as she pulled back to look me in the eye. “You have to tell them that this was a hate crime, Cara.” I shook my head as I croaked out the word no. “You can’t let him get away with this, Cara. I won’t let you let him get away with this.” I shook my head again as she held up my cup of water so I could take another drink. “No one can know, El. Please. My mother…” “Isn’t a mother at all if she doesn’t care about your safety or happiness.” “What happiness?” I asked and she gave me a sad smile as her hand covered mine. My knuckles hurt but I squeezed her back, needing to be closer to her. “El, there aren’t any laws in Georgia to prevent hate crimes.” I watched her lip quiver as that reality hit her. Our own government didn’t accept us as equals.   My life was meticulously planned and I refused to deviate from that path. While my peers were partying, I prepared for the future. Then a tragic event destroyed everything and I learned that while I was looking ahead, I forgot to live in the moment. Starting over seemed impossible until I met Cara McCarthy, who lived every day like it was her last. She opened my eyes to a world of chaos and disorder. I loved every minute of it. She was also dating Tristan Adams, one of the most gorgeous men I’d ever seen. The three of us became inseparable. Our parents were oblivious and soon lines became blurred, feelings began to grow, and someone’s heart was going to get broken. I hoped it wasn’t mine. *Release date to be announced   |
