Release day for Torque by Shauna Allen!
It's here! Torque,
Shauna Allen's newest novel in her Jack ‘Em Up series is now available for
purchase!
Genre: Contemporary Romance
I see so much more than his crime, his
past, his demons.
I see the promise . . . the man who fills
all the empty spaces inside me.
I’m not the perfect, untouchable girl he thinks
I am. I’m just dirty enough to take what I want.
Him.
~
I could never deserve her.
She is the light . . . the sun, the moon, a
billion stars.
She gives me hope.
But hope is a dangerous thing for a
criminal like me.
I am hopeless.
Infinitely flawed.
Tainted.
We are more than opposites.
Did she honestly have
no idea how close I was to saying ‘fuck it’ and throwing her down on her dining
room table to taste her for the first time?
“Jesse . . .”
I waited, not sure I
trusted myself to speak. I may be well read and reasonably intelligent, but
right now I was practically drunk and stupid on her scent.
“What’s going on here,
Jesse?” Her voice was rough and whisper soft.
Tread carefully, man.
“Nothing. You’re hiring me to fix your bike—”
“That’s not what I
meant and you know it.”
I sighed and ran a
hand through my hair. “I know.”
“And?”
I met her fierce gaze.
“And I’m a felon, Rachel.” I would not voice the rest. Never. That was enough.
“So? You served your
sentence.”
Ha. “I’m on parole for
the next year. I’m not a normal guy who can just . . .”
“Just what? Spit it
out, Joyner!”
That fine tether of
control snapped deep inside me. Without another thought, I prowled toward her,
intent on showing her just how she needed to stay away from me.
Her eyes widened, and
with each step I took in her direction, she backed up one until I had her
against the wall, our chests mere inches from each other. I brushed a wayward
curl from her face, where it stuck to her lip.
Her eyes stayed pinned
to mine. Wide, observant, but not scared. “Say it,” she pleaded.
“I can’t want you like
this, Rachel. You need to stay away from me. I’m no good for you.”
Her breath heaved in
and out, making her chest brush mine, as we stared each other down.
Seconds ticked by. She
licked her lips. I thought I’d implode.
“Why don’t you let me
decide what’s good for me?”
Then she tugged my
head down and her mouth was on mine. Her tongue brushed my lips and I couldn’t
help my moan as I gave myself over to her completely. It was my first taste of
paradise. Dark and sweet and dangerously perfect.
