SIX:
I grew up in
the foster system and bounced around from place to place... I know what you’re
thinking.
Bad things
happened to me and fucked me up?
Don’t feel
bad for me. I didn’t know a privileged life therefore I didn’t miss one.
I was what I
was and I made it work. I actually had a few good homes in my lifetime, met some good people
but that’s not what my stories about.
It’s not a
Romeo and Juliet saga either, even if our stories do revolve around similar
bases.
I knew a real
love, a rare love... a love between two people that were never supposed to fall in
love.
Rival gang
members are never allowed to fall in love and it cost us everything.
The things I
learned growing up the way I did is this:
Love is
deadly and often not real.
People come
and go and only the rare few stick around when shit gets tough.
I learned the
hard way what lurks behind false smiles and that deceitful truths get whispered in sexual
moans.
I was taught
that dark souls are not born but they are created and you can avoid them, hide from them or
learn and become them.
Revenge
sculpt and molded me into the darkest of souls and with my wrath comes agony and torment
more severe then hell itself.
I took out six
of the men who hurt my woman and I will be coming for the rest.
Get in my
way and I’ll come for you too.
“SIX?”
I awake with a jolt, my hand
reaching effortlessly for the blade kept under my pillow. With the other hand I grab the intruder
around the neck and bring them down on to the bed. In a quick flurry of movements I’m
straddling the invader with the blade to their throat. The room comes into focus and I become
fully aware that I'm not stuck in the dream world any longer but reality, when I recognize the
wild, scared eyes of Misty Cooper, my new bar manager staring up at me. Her soft, small frame
pinned beneath my own.
Just above the sound of her
heavy, restricted breathing is that persistent beeping that was in my dream.
“I didn’t know you were
here.” She whispers barely audible.
I remove the knife from her
throat and stand abruptly from the bed.
Sitting up her eyes widen
and then dart to her lap. I hate the paleness of her cheeks and the glisten in her eyes, knowing I
caused her fear.
“I’m sorry,” I quickly push
past my lips. “I was working late last night, on a clients tattoo so I crashed here.”
“You don’t need to explain.”
She tells me shaking her head. She won’t look at me and it makes me fucking angry with
myself.
“Misty, look at
me?”
...“Ermm, you’re naked.”
Her cheeks flush a beautiful
crimson as her eyes dart up to my junk and then quickly back down to her lap, her teeth popping
out to worry her bottom lip.
She’s twentyfive years old
surely this isn’t the first naked man she’s been around?
“It’s just a dick Misty, I’m
sure you’ve seen one before.” I grab the pair of jeans from the chair I slung them over the night
before and slip them up my legs.
“Not that big” I hear her
mumble under her breath. Folding my arms over my chest. I quirk a brow at her. “What was
that?”
Her
eyes pop wide and she quickly shakes her head “Nothing, nothing”
A Letter From The Author
Dear my wonderful readers,
As some of you might know (if you follow me on social media) I’m currently ‘very’ pregnant.
My daughter is due in less than three weeks and although we are extremely pleased to have our
precious gift join us, it has been very tiring and will continue to be so. I’m telling you this to ask
that you have patience when it comes to Six’s release. I’m hoping to stay on a steady writing
course but we all know baby’s can be unpredictable. As can recovery after surgery, and that’s
how our daughter must enter this world.
I have given Six, a July release date to relieve any pressure on my part. I may finish and
release sooner but would rather give a later date to begin with than an earlier one and have to
push it back. Six is shaping up to be a wonderful, fascinating and extremely yummy character
and I know any wait will be worth it.
Thank you for your understanding and support, you all mean the world to me and I can’t wait to
bring you Six’s story.
I hope you like the cover as much as I do, Amy Queau is very talented, and done an amazing
job capturing everything I envisioned for this cover.
I would just like to mention a huge thank you to you amazing bloggers. Thank you so much
for all your selfless work in sharing this cover and any of my work. As soon as I have dates for
arcs an email will be sent out to inform you.
All the best,
Ker.
