Guy Hater
J. Sterling
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Day: October 9th
From New York Times Bestseller, J. Sterling, comes a sexy new STANDALONE romance novel.
Frank Fisher is quiet, pensive, and sexy as hell. He's also stuck in a loveless relationship, bound by a promise he made years ago. It's one he intends to keep, no matter the cost.
The night Claudia walks into his bar, both his life and his perspective are forever changed. She's feisty, strong, independent and everything he never knew he needed. She's also everything he never knew he wanted, and now he's torn.
Will Frank follow his heart, or will guilt and obligation continue to rule his life? Choices aren't always easy, especially when you're a man, and Frank's indecision may cost him more than he's willing to lose.
“Hey, brother, who are these beautiful ladies?” I called out as I
made my way over to Ryan.
He shot me a surprised look before it morphed into a grin. I had
never asked Ryan who he was talking to before, had never attempted to be
charming at the bar. I wasn’t sure what qualities I might have gotten from our
parents, but charm certainly wasn’t among them. No, all the charming genes were
divvied up between Nick and Ryan.
“This is Britney and her roommate, Claudia . . .
like cloud-ee-ah. Not like clawed-ee-ah.”
I watched as she smiled again, pissed off that it wasn’t me who
was making her do it. “It’s nice to meet you both. Thanks for coming in. Is it
your first time?”
I tried to make eye contact with Britney to include her in the
conversation, but I couldn’t stop looking at Claudia. It wasn’t so much the
rich coffee-bean color of her eyes as the way she was looking at me with them.
Maybe she was thinking I was a psychopath, while I was hoping she liked what
she saw.
“I’ve been here before, but it is Claudia’s first visit,” Britney
said, but Claudia and I were still looking at each other without a word, not
acknowledging that anyone else was in the room.
I blinked and gave Claudia a brief smile before looking away,
confused about what was happening to my body and running through my head. I
wasn’t available and had no right to act like I was, but this woman had me
twisted up with just a look. That kind of thing didn’t happen to me. I wasn’t
Ryan, the hopeless romantic looking to find his Cinderella.
“I hope you ladies have a nice time. Next round’s on me,” I said
before walking away.
I had to get away, had to get some distance from this girl. My
heart needed to stop pounding like a wild gorilla inside my chest.
Ryan chased me down as I hurried back toward the office. “What the
hell was that?”
“I have no fucking idea,” I said before slamming the door in his
face, willing him to keep his ass outside.
I got fired from my last job. It's true. I know you're sitting there thinking, "Jenn, how could anyone in their right mind fire someone like you?" And I'd love to give you a good reason, but the truth is that sometimes being all sorts of awesome isn't fun for other people. They don't always tend to like it. lol So I picked my pride off the floor, bought a laptop and started writing my first book. And you know what I realized? Writing stories that meant something to me was a million times better than working my ass off for someone who didn't really care about anything other than the bottom line. My soul has never felt more satisfied. My heart has never been more full. I've never worked so hard in my life, but I love every second of it. I truly do. It is SO worth it. All of it. Every moment. The journey it took to get to this point- I wouldn't change a thing.
