The Renegades #2

Releasing February 20th, 2017
Entangled Embrace
The only heart he wants is the one
he already broke...
He's
Landon Rhodes.
The
Renegade they call Nova.
Sinfully
gorgeous, broody, tatted-up, professional snowboarder.
Four-time
X Games medalist—
Full-time
heartbreaker.
They say a girl broke him once—
That's why he's so reckless, so
driven, so careless with his conquests.
But I'm
that girl.
They can
call me his curse all they want.
He and I
both know the truth—
He's the
one who destroyed me,
And I'm
not the sucker who will let that happen again.
***NOVA can be read as a
standalone***
EXCERPT
“How many
have there been, Landon? How many memories are in your bed nowadays?” She
forged on ahead, her eyes glossing over with a layer of what I was hesitant to
call tears. “Can you remember them all?”
Heat rushed
through my veins, a nauseating mixture of anger, shame, and the bitter taste of
regret. My brain screamed at me to retreat and lick my wounds, to try again
with her when she wasn’t on offense.
My heart
reminded me that I was going to have to fight for this woman with every weapon
in my arsenal if I wanted her.
And damn, I
wanted her. Craved her. Needed her.
She was the
only one I’d ever felt connected to—the only one my heart woke up and shook off
the ice for. The only woman who challenged me and took me down in the process.
I stepped
forward and clamped both of my hands on the table, boxing her between my arms.
She craned her head to keep my gaze, unwilling to back down. It was the quality
that both frustrated the hell out of me and turned me on faster than
anything—her constant refusal to yield for just a fucking second.
“Can I remember them all? Probably not.”
She snorted.
“You want to
know why?” I didn’t wait for her to answer. “Because blonde, redhead,
brunette—I saw their features for a millisecond. The moment I had one of them
in my bed, they all had eyes the color of dark chocolate and hair so black it
was almost blue...” I glanced at her hair. “Or purple. I never needed to
remember them, because they were always you.”
“Don’t say
things like that,” she begged. As if I could physically see her walls start to
crumble, she softened. “You don’t get to say things like that to me. Not
anymore.
