Just a little sneak peek...

Here's a little snippet from Semi-Broken, now available for pre-order on Amazon! 

Seven didn’t back down as he advanced on her, though. He stopped when they were toe-to-toe and she had to crane her head back to meet his eyes.

He had a million questions for her, but he was still too pissed off to formulate many words at the moment, so he settled for, “Why?”

Her eyes narrowed on him. “What difference does it make? As long as you have your space.” 

Lucas fought back another growl. Would that word haunt him for the rest of his fucking life? “I never wanted space. I said we needed space. And besides, the kind of space that has you fighting vampires every night in a fucking cage? Yeah, neither of us needs that space.” 

 “None of these creatures are a danger to me,” she said, sounding entirely too reasonable for his liking.
“And I needed…”

“You needed?” he prompted.

“To hit something,” she finished. “Finding out you’re in love with Harper made me…angry.”

Jesus, how had he fucked everything up this badly? “I’m not in love with Harper. I thought at one time
I was…but I’m not.”

Her eyes searched his with that laser-like intensity he’d come to expect from her before she murmured, “Truth.”

He nodded and leaned toward her, putting his hands on either side of her head against the wall behind her. “I won’t lie to you, Seven.”

Her chin came up, her warm breath feathering across his cheek, her mouth only a heartbeat away from his. She lifted shaking hands and laid her palms flat against his chest. He nearly groaned out loud at the feel of those cool, delicate hands on his overheated skin.

She swallowed hard. “If you don’t want her, then why don’t you want me?”

Surely he hadn’t heard her right. “You think I don’t want you?”

Her gaze lowered to her hands on his chest. “I’m nothing like Harper. She’s…open and funny and beautiful. I’ll never be like her. I’m—”

“If you say broken I’m gonna be pissed,” he said, fighting to keep from yelling at her. “You’re not broken. You’re perfect. So fucking perfect that it hurts not to touch you. Do you get that?”

Her eyes lifted to his and widened, and he was caught. He couldn’t have looked away if his life depended on it.

They stayed like that for way, way too long, frozen as if they were seeing each other--really seeing each other—for the first time. He took a deep breath and the warm, slightly sweaty and entirely too sexy scent of her skin made him lightheaded. Her hands slipped down to his stomach as his chest moved. He couldn’t hold back a hoarse groan.

Get out, he told himself. Remember what Vi said. She needs space. Get out while you still can.

She let her gaze drop to his mouth and she licked her lips.

“Fuck it,” he muttered.

Then he kissed her.
