Before Us (The Next Generation Book 3) Read online

  “Yeah, baby?”

  “Do you think we can do this?” I needed him to voice his thoughts. I needed to know that I wasn’t crazy for thinking there was something between us. That we could make this work.

  “If I have you, if I have both of you, Piper. Yes, I think we can do this. Will it be easy? No. No relationship is. But I know how I feel about you.”

  I dropped my knees, sitting Indian-style, and sat forward. “Tell me.”

  “Not yet. I can’t.”

  “Not until I’m wrapped around you.” I slumped back against the couch.

  “Yeah, Piper. I need to look into your eyes when I say it. When you say it.”

  My chest tightened, a lump forming in my throat. “What time should I be there tomorrow?”

  He gave me a time and our discussion quickly ended after that when he was told his time was up.

  When the call was disconnected, I walked down the hall of my small house. I had just moved into it not too long ago. Boxes still needed to be unpacked but I wasn’t worried about them at that point.

  Once I reached a room at the end of the hall, I took a deep breath and entered. My thoughts traveled back to that night at the bar. Because of that night, a new life was created. Even though Jaron and I had things to work through, we had this. Together, we could conquer whatever was thrown in our path.

  My heart beat hard for a man currently sitting behind bars. A man who saved me from a monster. A man I loved.

  “I love you, Jaron,” I whispered, finally voicing the words out loud. After all this time, I gave in to the feelings I had for him. Now I just needed tomorrow to come so we could take this to the next level. Even if it was just one step at a time, it was a step that I wanted to take.

  With him.

  Blurb:

  He refuses to fall in love.

  He was born alone and he will die alone. Or, at least he thought so until now.

  Vice-One is all he knows. His squad. His brothers. The men he spends every day protecting. He is empty and only one person can fill this void. This darkness.

  Meanwhile, Genevieve Gold makes it clear he should stay away when she is everything he craves.

  She is lost.

  Her heart has been ripped out; stomped on...crushed into tiny pieces, leaving only a gaping hole behind.

  King's Harlots is all she has. Her club. Her sisters. Her life. But something is missing until he shows up.

  Angel Rodriguez is everything she hates but everything she needs.

  Putting differences aside, they will work together to bring down a malevolent force threatening to rip them apart...

  Blurb:

  Confusion. Lust. Fear. Passion.

  It started the moment she passed out in my arms.

  Seduction. Vile. Depraved. Desire.

  She couldn’t remember her past but looked to me like I was her future.

  My walls were built. My heart was cold. My emotions vacant.

  After being alone for five years with only my motorcycle club at my side, she was who I had been searching for. The one I had needed all along to light up the darkness surrounding my life. Just when I thought I had her, just when I thought I could finally allow myself that happiness I didn’t think I deserved.

  She was ripped from my hands…

  First off, thank you to my team:

  Angie, Jennifer, Christina and Joanne.

  I couldn’t do this without you. Because of you, I’ve become a better writer. I can’t thank you enough for your patience and helping me perfect my stories.

  My readers: Because of you, this story was created. I’m SO excited to bring you The Next Generation. Even though this is a novella, I think you’ll love it nonetheless. Jaron and Piper have been through so much and their story is too big to fit into one book. Or so Jaron tells me anyway.

  But it’s going to be fun, intense and such a crazy ride, I can’t wait to give the kids their HEA’s that they all deserve.

  Authors and bloggers: Your support is everything.

  Thank you for taking a chance on me!
