Excerpt

I held out the knife. โ€œI will hurt you, Wolf.โ€

Amusement flickered in his blue eyes, his attention drifting from my face to the blade in my hand. โ€œI donโ€™t believe that.โ€ He kept moving forward, not stopping until the tip of the blade pressed against his stomach, pitting the fabric of his shirt. โ€œNot for one fucking second, Jade.โ€

My hand shook. I couldnโ€™t believe I was holding a knife to his gut. That he, of all people, was doing this to me, pushing me to this. But he was right. I didnโ€™t think I could physically bring myself to stab him. Not even if he was going to hurt me. 

โ€œI wish I could say the same,โ€ I whispered. 

My grip on the knife tightened as my gaze met his, searching for a hint of recognition, a trace of the boy I once loved. But all I found in his hardened expression was hate. I understood it. It stung, but I understood because Iโ€™d tried hard to hate him, too. 

Smirking, he wrapped his calloused fingers around mine. I didnโ€™t fight when he forced my hand away from him and carefully plucked the weapon from my grip. It was almost as if he was making sure I didnโ€™t hurt myself. 

He stabbed the blade into the drywall, and defeat washed over me. โ€œNever expected you to turn into a knife-wielding, drug thief and dealer,โ€ he said, so close, his breath stirred the strands of my hair. 

โ€œAnd I never expected you to enjoy scaring women.โ€ I struggled to keep my voice steady. โ€œYet here we are.โ€ 

He leaned in even more, bracing one hand on the cabinet beside my head and caging me in. โ€œCome on, Jadeโ€ฆโ€ His nose swept along my jaw. 

The sensation of his warm breath on my skin sent an involuntary shiver through me. 

โ€œYouโ€™re not scared,โ€ he whispered. โ€œYour cheeks are the same fuck-me pink as when you come.โ€

Blurb

Wolf Brookes was the bad boy who broke my heart, moved on faster than I could blink, and didnโ€™t even bother to look back. Which is why I hate him.

A year and a half after the heartbreak, Iโ€™ve made some questionable choicesโ€”like breaking into his house and stealing from him. In my defense, I needed the money. He didnโ€™t need to catch meโ€ฆ or blackmail me into playing little sister to the makeshift frat of reprobates he helps run.

Now Iโ€™m stuck in a party house from hell with my tattooed, arrogant ex.

My plan? Use being in his house to my advantage, get what I need to beat him at his own game, and get out.

His plan? Apparently to torment me by acting as though he doesnโ€™t own a shirt. 

But the more time we spend together, the more I see glimpses of the boy I lovedโ€”and the man heโ€™s become. Heโ€™s still the same reckless, infuriating disaster I fell for, and Iโ€™m still the idiot who canโ€™t seem to quit him.

Falling for him again would be the worst idea of my life.

But losing him twice? 

That might break me for good.

USA Today bestselling authors Stevie J Cole and LP Lovell bring you a steamy, second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance full of banter, bad boys and bad decisions, and the kind of love that never diesโ€”even when it should.
