Goodreads: http://bit.ly/1m8EV00
With a
broken heart and nothing to lose, Jayne King leaves Las Vegas,
running from the
only man she ever loved. He used her. Lied to her. Got her
father killed. Cost
her everything.
All she wants is to start over somewhere new and escape her past. She finally
finds a place to plant roots, and someone she can trust. But she should’ve
known that when Flynn said he’d never give up on her, he meant it. Just when
she thinks she’s safe after almost a year on the run, the past catches up with
her and she finds out that everything she believed in was false. Once again,
she’s caught up in a game—but this time, she intends to win. After all, the
queen always beats a spade.
Flynn Maguire always got what he wanted, until he fell in love with Jayne King.
He has no intentions of letting her get away, but with a woman like Jayne, he
knows he’s got to play his cards just right. He had no choice but to watch her
walk out of his life, but he planned on getting her back at any cost, including
taking down his own father. He soon finds out there is nothing more dangerous
than a woman scorned.
Excerpt #1: Queen
of Hearts
As I stood outside of his suite, my nerves started to take
over. As brave as I wanted to be, I knew seeing him face to face was going to
be rough. It had to be done, and I had to be strong, so I squared my shoulders,
rolled my neck, and beat on the door with my knuckles before I chickened out.
The door flew open, and I realized he wasn’t alone. My
heart thundered under my rib cage and I almost passed out.
“Can I help you?”
I blinked away the confusion and focused on the bimbo in
front of me. Again, I wasn’t surprised there was a woman in his room. Typical.
But the look on her face and the tone of her voice brought me back to the
present and the reason I was there. I wasn’t a jealous ex-girlfriend, I was the
dark angel of his demise. That bitch was nothing to me.
“No, you can’t.”
I pushed past her and walked into the room like I owned
it. I wasn’t going to let anyone in that room stop me.
I spotted him right away, sitting across the room in the
midst of a poker game. A trashy brunette sat perched on his knee, while another
stood behind him, rubbing his shoulders. He made me sick. He looked up and it
was as if he’d been hit with the brunt of a gun against his temple. Pure and
utter shock.
He was a caricature of the man I’d fallen in love with.
Still beautiful, but something black had seeped through. You could sense it
immediately. The eyes that smoldered dark with lust were shadowed and sullen on
his face like tiny ghosts watching the world turn while they battled the pain
behind them.
A visceral pain shot through me. If only things had been
different. Had he been the man I thought he was, everything could’ve been
beautiful. But, those things happened. Those lies were weaved and the betrayal
was real. He hurt me, cracking every bone inside of me and left wounds that
would never heal. I’d always be broken. Always a little crooked. I’d never trust
in anything completely again.
He stood, swatting away the brunette, and gripped the arms
of the chair to steady his unsure legs. I could feel the eyes of every person
in the room, but I couldn’t look away from him. It was surreal, after all that
time how much he affected me. Still.
“Janie,” he choked out.
His lips let my name escape, but I could see that he
couldn’t believe I was standing there, that I’d barged into his room like a
phantom, a deep, dark secret from his past.
