Broken Lens Book Blurb
Although this book is the second in the series, it’s been written to be
read as a New Adult Stand Alone novel. You do not have to read book one, which
is a young adult novel, to enjoy.
No one said love is ever easy. And for Jess, he would ride his
Harley to heaven and back for an eternity with her arms wrapped around him.
That makes leaving her that late summer day to head to separate colleges the
hardest thing he has to do. Still, he thinks that they could beat the odds and
prove everyone wrong, until one drunken night and one sober confession.
Through the jagged edges of a broken lens, he’s faced with the
reality of his choices. And fixing the pieces of Jess’s broken heart may be
impossible. Without her, he’s left with only a mother who hates him and marks
him as a dead man walking. And that’s not the only truth that has the potential
to destroy his life.
The upcoming trial will reveal the defendant’s motivations for
the crimes committed against the people he cares about. But that guy’s not the
only one who’s guilty of something. With a cloud of mistrust hovering around
him, can he keep Jess safe from his past? Can she or anyone forgive him for his
secrets? Will he win back the one girl he’s ever loved or will he lose her
forever?

Excerpt
After the second beer and a dose of pain meds, I finally
passed out. I dreamed of better times. A carefree Jess when I’d realized I’d
fallen completely for her. Then she’d looked at me like I was worth something
more than the image of my face or the size of my bank account.
The warmth of the sunlight, like Jess’s fingertips on my skin,
jolted me awake. My hand went to the back of my neck where the sofa created
kinks I couldn’t get out. I stood still unsteady and found Jess asleep on my
bed. Thoughts of kissing my way up her from her leg to her beautiful mouth
invaded my mind. I made a hasty retreat to my bathroom...
I shucked my clothes, causing them to slap against the tile
floor. I turned on the shower and stepped in, even though, the water was as
cold as ice. Hopefully, it would alleviate my heated desire for the girl on my
bed who had me hard as my thick skull.
Soapy, head to toe, I fisted my need in my hand as I rested
my head on the tiles. Water cascaded down my back and did nothing to cool my
heated skin. I almost didn’t hear the door to the shower stall open. As the
water began to warm at my back, a soft hand landed on my hip. I jumped and
turned around.
Jess stood with willing Puritan eyes. If only she knew of the
monster that was so close to the surface, she would most likely run like hell.
“Jessica, you need to leave now.” I called her by her given name, which I rarely did, to get her attention.
Undeterred, her hand reached up and touched my shoulder. “I don’t want to
leave.”
“You have no idea what you’re asking for. Please leave, or I
swear I’m going to have you like I’ve wanted since the first day I saw you.”
I gave her my back and rinsed the soap out of my hair. Her
finger grazed around from my hip down the definition of muscle that led to my
pulsing need.
Roughly, I said once more. “Jessica, please go.”
