Gwen Stevens had a
privileged life until her father spoke three little words that turned her world
upside down. “You’re cut off.”
Broke
and desperate, Gwen is forced to accept a waitressing job, but this glimmer of
hope has a price. As if being a cocktail waitress isn’t bad enough, she has to
do it in a dive bar called The Den, and her bad luck doesn’t stop there. She
also needs to deal with the new owner, a blue-eyed, self-righteous ass
determined to make her life miserable.
Liam Sinclair walked
away from the entitlement and obligation his family planned for him, vowing to
make his own way in the world…
Adjusting
to life as a new business owner, Liam has experienced more than his fair share
of setbacks. When his only waitress breaks her leg, his sister takes it upon
herself to hire a replacement—a spoiled, self-indulgent hothead with too much
makeup and more than enough attitude. Gwen represents the world he’s trying to
escape, a world of excess and greed that he was never cut out for.
Appearances can be
deceiving, and first impressions aren’t always right…
Despite
their apparent differences, the tension between them turns to a fiery passion
that neither of them can resist. Together they find balance and learn to
appreciate the simpler things in life. But Gwen soon discovers that old habits
die hard, and one mistake is all it takes to ruin everything.
Forgiveness must be
earned, but even a villain deserves a chance at redemption…

Excerpt:
“Anything
you want to tell me, little brother?” she asked as she folded her arms across
her chest and watched me closely to gauge my reaction.
I
frowned. “Um, No.”
“Really?
Nothing new at all in your life?” She was baiting me into something I was sure
was not going to be good.
“I
bought a new toaster the other day.”
“That’s
not what I meant.”
“You
should see it, it’s pretty sweet. Its toasts Darth Vader’s face into the
bread.”
Madison
growled in frustration and tossed a breadstick at me.
“Whoa
chill cougar,” I laughed.
“Don’t
start that.” She pointed her finger at me. “I get enough of that crap from
Margot.”
“Okay,”
I said as my laughter died down.
“So
you really have nothing to share?”
“Like
what?”
“Like
what’s going on with you and Gwen.” She smiled, her eyebrows disappeared
beneath her bangs.
“Oh
that.” I ducked my head to hide my smile.
“Yes
that.”
“Who
told you?”
“Sean.”
“What?
Who told him?”
“I
don’t know, someone at the bar I guess,” she said with a dismissive wave.
“The
bar?” Madison shrugged. Then it hit me. “Sam,” I sighed. “Great now everybody
knows.”
“Were
you hiding it?”
“No.
Not really. We just didn’t want things to be weird at work.”
“Well,
here’s a tip, if you don’t want the people you work with to know. Don’t have
sex in your office.”
I
cringed. Hearing my older sister discuss my sex life was disturbing on a lot of
levels.
“So?”
she asked.
“So
what?”
Madison
let out a frustrated groan and rolled her eyes. “So what’s going on between you
and Gwen?”
I
wasn’t sure how to answer her. Hell I wasn’t even one hundred percent sure I
even knew how. I sat back in my chair and played with the edge of my napkin. I
was stalling and the look on my sister’s face said she knew it too.
“I’m
not exactly sure,” I said.
She
raised an eyebrow and tilted her head. “Aren’t you living together?” she asked.
“Kind
of,” I said.
“Kind
of?” she scoffed. “Her clothes are there, she sleeps in your bed, eats your
food, uses your shower.” I nodded and she sat back in her chair, folded her
arms across her chest. “Sounds like living together to me.”
“It’s
not like we’d been dating for a while and I asked her to move in. She needed a
place to crash. Everything else came later.”
“Everything
else?”
I
shrugged. “You know what I mean we were spending a lot of time together and it
just happened.”
“What
happened?”
“Sex
Madison. We had sex.” I leaned back in my seat and relived some of our more
creative positions in my head as a grin crept across my face. “Lots and lots of
sex.”
