A Billionaires and Bikers Novella
By: Cynthia Sax
Releasing January 20th, 2015
Avon Romance
Bee
Carter has been offered everything she has ever dreamed of—a caring, lasting
relationship with a handsome, often charming billionaire; the permanent home
she's never had but has always craved; and wealth to buy the designer fashions
she loves, support her hard-working mother, and ensure her acceptance by
Chicago's elite.
To
obtain what she's desired for so long, she has to do only two things: Walk away
from her best friend, a woman who is destined to betray her … and end her
passionate nightly encounters with a certain tattooed biker, a former Marine
who can never give her what she needs.
Her
answer should be clear, but the heart has a way of complicating even the most
straightforward decisions.
Mrs.
Schroeder from seven nineteen south exits, and I release my breath. The elderly
woman is wearing a pale pink designer jogging suit, a white sun visor, and
matching sneakers, and carries Sam, her tiny dog, in her arms, a pale pink
leash around his neck.
“Good
morning, Mrs. Schroeder.” I smile.
The
gray-haired lady glances at me, her top lip curls, and she turns away with a
sniff, pointing her nose in the air. Oh hell. My face heats. She snubbed me.
Her
reaction shouldn’t hurt me. I’ve watched women reject my mom all of my life. I
should be immune from the pain.
I’m
not. I shiver, the warm summer day cooling, all of the joy zapped from being
outside. This was a mistake. I should return to the condo where I’m safe,
protected, accepted.
An
engine rumbles. I don’t turn around, don’t face Hawke, not wishing for him to
see my unhappiness. Instead, my gaze follows Mrs. Schroeder as she strolls
away.
Moments
pass and the noise fades. Hawke doesn’t say anything, allowing me to regain my
composure.
I
lift my chin. Who the hell cares what one bitter old woman thinks? I know who I
am, what I’ve done, and I’m not ashamed, not of my actions nor of my mom. My
fingers curl into tight fists.
“Do
you want me to have her killed, love?” Hawke drawls, not a hint of humor in his
voice.
I
turn. My rough, tough former marine sits on his massive bike, the chrome
polished and the tires spotless. The helmet he had designed for me is perched
on the seat behind him.
Hawke
is wearing his usual frayed blue jeans, hideous black T-shirt, body-clinging
leather jacket, big army boots. Sunglasses cover his eyes and stubble darkens
his square chin, his head bare, his brown hair cut ruthlessly short.
He’s
big and bad and mine, all of his attention on me. My nipples tighten. His chin
lowers and his lips curl into that lopsided smile I’ve grown to love.
Love. Shit. My shoulders square. I
shouldn’t use that word around him.
“I’d
rather not harm women,” Hawke adds. “I’ll make an exception to protect you.”
He’s
joking . . . I hope. “Mrs. Schroeder is pushing ninety. I think I can take
her.” I force my smile.
Hawke
chuckles, the sound low and deep and arousing, moistening my pussy. I want him
with all of the reckless passion in my foolish heart, my body humming with
awareness.
“Come
here, Belinda.” He reaches out his right hand. “I need to touch you.”
