- Sneak Peek -“Want another drink?” "That would be great." She drained the Solo cup. "Two days of country clubbing, I’m ready to drink for realsies. Hashtag First World Problems.” “Now you sound like a rich girl.” He poured more rum into her cup and added a hefty amount of soda before handing it back. "Something about too many playdates as a child and nannies who don't hug you enough and … oh, the trials of having a birthday when your friends are in San Moritz?" Her nose scrunched. "God, even I’m grossed out. Just dump me in the nearest mud puddle for that.” “Nah. I don’t see that ending well. I happen to know what you look like in a wet t-shirt.” Demons on his shoulder must’ve been talking—or the rum—but Ashlyn laughed. “Of all the things for your brain to record after a nearly-fatal wreck, it’s that?” “Yeah, well. I’m hardwired for that.” “For remembering drowned rats? You should talk to a biologist. Get rewired.” “You need to get some self-confidence, sweetheart,” he told her as he reached for her arm. “Don’t go positive-reinforcement on me now, J. I’m not as egotistical as I seem.” He leaned even closer, lowering his voice for her. “You seem a lot of things. That’s not on the list.” She tensed under his hand, and her jaw set at a familiar angle: defensive. "Oh?” Who taught you to be afraid? Someday soon he’d have to ask. He’d wondered about it often, from the times when Grim inexplicably sent her running, or Megan yelling at Frog broke Ash into tears she swore were PMS. He settled for a compliment. “You seem like you know who you are.” “A-and who is that?” “Wish I knew. But…” He stayed close, inhaling the scents of rum and her candy perfume. “Maybe someday you’ll let me?” Their gazes remained locked, except those few seconds his dropped to her lips as she licked them. His blood ran hot, pushing everything else out of his head. "I'm an open book, Joker.” It was a whisper. And a lie. - Prize One -- Prize Two -- Prize Three -To ENTER you must comment below: - MUST READ ROMANCES -

I want to know why Ash is afraid too. She sounds like she's in need of a hero and he def does not sound like the hero type. What a great pair!

Ashlyn sounds like she drowning her sorrows with a sexy man who can take her pain away. I'd like to read Broken Wings!

I love how it ends with her telling Joker that she's an open book when she's actually telling a lie.

I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN THE DANGER. WHY IS SHE DANGEROUS? WHAT'S FOLLOWING OR STALKING HER. THE SNEAK PEEK DIDN'T REVEAL MUCH BUT WAS INTERESTING.

The characters are not what they appear to be at first. I enjoy discovering the real people and why they feel the need to hide.
