BAIL OUT
A Brotherhood Bonds Romance
I was fortunate enough to have Jade Chandler, erotic and suspense romance author extraordinaire, share an excerpt with me from her new release Bail Out.
These bonds don't break...
I stared out the front window trying to get my shit together. The simmering anger built into a raging fire. I wasn’t doing this.
“That’s none of your business.”“True enough.” He placed cash on the table and moved to leave.
“Stay.” I placed my hand on his wrist and electricity sparked between us. My pride had already been decimated. Why did I care what this stranger thought of me?
“I can get married.”
I spoke through gritted teeth, but I made sure he understood that option wasn’t happening. It’d be the same as letting my father win.
The bastard threw his head back and laughed, I contemplated choking the life out of him even as his sexy laugh sent quivers through my belly.
“Princess, there are hundreds of men in Dallas who’d line up for the honor. Pick one, get the business and divorce his ass.” His dancing eyes landed on me. “What’s the big deal?”
“The big deal?” I sputtered. I threw my hands up. “I don’t want to be married. My daddy didn’t get married to inherit the business nor my grandpa or his grandpa.”
“You’ll kill yourself trying to catch Stone, but not get married?” He leaned forward. “What the fuck does it matter how you get the company as long as it’s yours?”
“You ever had everyone look down on you, think you aren’t good enough?”
His face went black. “Yup.”
Something ate at him. I filed the information away before I admitted the next ugly truth. “They
look at me like that now. Why the hell would I add to it? Or give that windbag who calls himself my
father the satisfaction of making me?” I shoved down the hurt and let the pissed off reign free inside me.
It burned away all the other emotion.
Cocking his head to the side, he stared at me. No doubt reading the sad shreds of my soul. I felt like I’d been chopped up, wrung out and spit out a mangled mess at his feet.
“True enough.” He held out a hand. “You got yourself a partner.”
