Excerpt #2
“Where
have you been?” My sister rushed forward, catching me up in a tight hug. “I’ve
been trying to call you all day. We checked everywhere and couldn’t find you.”
“Sorry. I
just needed some alone time.” I squeezed her back, unable to stop from smiling.
The thought of Anne turning her back on me had scared me more than I liked to
admit.
“Well, I
get you might want that.” She stepped back. “But you could have told someone.”
“You
can’t just disappear like that.” And Ben kept right on frowning. “Shit, Liz,
you’re pregnant.”
“Don’t
upset her,” snapped Anne.
Ben
ignored her. “I don’t know what the hell’s going on in your head. But you need
to let me know where you are.”
My
eyebrows went up and my mouth opened, ready to rip him a new one.
“She
doesn’t answer to you. She’ll let you know if and when she decides to let you
know,” said Mal, laying down the law to his bandmate before turning my way.
“You will text your sister next time you decide to go wandering for a day,
understood?”
My mouth,
it still hung open.
“Christ,
man.” Over and over, Ben’s hands rolled into tight fists before releasing
again. “Can you cut the shit and get off my back for a fucking minute?”
“Don’t
swear at him.” My usually sensible and staid sister poked a finger dead center
in Ben’s broad chest. “You’re the one that caused this mess, thank you very
much. She might still be a little young and naive, but you’re definitely old
enough to know better.”
“That’s right.” Standing
about as tall as a skyscraper, despite only coming up to Ben’s nose, Mal stared
him down. Or up. Whatever. “This is a family matter. You can leave, thanks.”
Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test,
everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all
because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy
bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who
can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at
the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything
more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.
Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly.
She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry
is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go
there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness
for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas,
doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way
possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?
Meet Ben and Lizzy on March 31st!
