That Summer by Jillian Dodd is now live!
Devaney Diamond's summer is shaping up to be the best one ever. Her longtime crush is finally interested.
Just when their relationship is getting started, she finds out she's leaving on a three-week vacation. She's not thrilled about being gone for that long, but she is looking forward to spending time doing nothing but getting a killer tan and hanging out with her lifelong best friend, Chase.
Chase is cute and sweet.
Smart and responsible.
And he's always there when she needs him. If it wasn't for their age difference, things might be different between them.
But when Chase returns home from football camp with new muscles and a new attitude, Devaney realizes something ...
Chase Mackenzie is hot.
Will this be the summer Devaney and Chase fall in love, or will it be the summer when everything falls apart?

Prologue
Although
one of the men seated owns the home this beautiful room is in, he is not
sitting in a place of power behind his mammoth hand-carved mahogany desk, but
rather both men are seated in matching wingback chairs covered in the softest
of plaid cashmeres and are situated near the room’s French doors, which
overlook the estate’s vast grounds.
“We
have some loose ends to tie up regarding Montrovia,” the owner of the home says
after taking a sip of amber-colored liquid from a heavy crystal tumbler.
“We
shouldn’t have trusted the girl,” the other man says.
“Easy
to say in retrospect, especially considering she came very close to succeeding.
If she would have become Queen, it would have made things much easier for us.
We will prevail, regardless.”
“What
is our next course of action, then?”
“We
continue with our plan,” the owner states. “Although, I’m afraid there will
have to be a few slight variations.”
“Does
one of those variations have to do with why the Eagle wasn’t present at our
meeting today?” the man asks, the understanding of an unusual event earlier in
the day showing in his furrowed brow.
“He
isn’t doing what he promised. Now that he controls the world’s most powerful
military, he seems to have forgotten who put him into power.”
“That
was a very expensive endeavor.”
The
owner of the home nods in agreement. “One of which we are not reaping the
reward from. So, I’m afraid we have no choice. We must liquidate our bad
investment.”
The
man sets his drink down, trying to keep his hand from shaking, knowing it could
just as easily be him if he dared to cross the man in front of him. “But he’s
our friend.”
“Something
he has also forgotten. Do it. And I only want the best, for obvious reasons.”
“Sadly,
the best is dead.”
“Are
you referring to The Priest?”
“Yes.
He was killed after the Eagle’s father hired him for a hit then double crossed
him.”
“I
don’t believe he’s dead. Find him.”
“I’m
sure we can find someone equally as talented—”
“I
want The Priest and no one else,” the owner interrupts.
How
in the world am I supposed to hire a dead man? he thinks, but he doesn’t dare
say.
“It’s
going to be dangerous for us to even try to find him, but I will see what I can
come up with. What if he is still alive, but says no?”
“You
will make him an offer he cannot refuse. And see if he will give us a group
discount regarding the outstanding Montrovian situation.”
***
The
assassin known as The Priest enters an empty bar in France. The
hole-in-the-wall drinking establishment is supposed to be open this afternoon,
but the owner just hung the closed sign on the door.
“What
is this nonsense about an offer?” the assassin asks, freaking out a little.
“Everyone thinks I’m dead. We’ve worked hard to establish ourselves here. How
did they contact you?”
“Through
a secure network. I left a few trusted assets in place in case we ever needed
the money.”
“We
could be traced though that.”
“No,
we can’t. I’m good at what I do. Are you interested in hearing the offer, or
not?”
“It
doesn’t matter how much it is. I’m not interested.”
“So
are you saying that fifteen million dollars wouldn’t sway you?”
“Fifteen
million? Who the hell is the target?”
“It’s
a series of three hits, but they have only revealed the first one.” He whispers
the man’s name.
“You’ve
got to be kidding. No way.”
“This
money could set us both up for life.”
“We’re
already set up for life. Sort of. Besides, I retired. With good reason.”
“They
will go as high as twenty.”
“You
know how well-guarded a man of his stature is.”
“Are
you saying no because you don’t want to do it, or because you don’t think you
can do it?”
“Whether
or not I can do it is not the question. I always complete my tasks. However, in
this case, getting away with it would be another story. I’d have a whole
country after me. And they’d find you first, since you are the one brokering
the deal.”
“You
don’t trust my skills?”
“All
I know is that I’m lucky to be alive. It’s been over six years since I was
double-crossed, and you know as well as I do, that when Lara was killed it
should have been me driving. I had gotten careless with my cover.”
“That
was four years ago.”
“Two
years after I was presumed dead. Men like that never forget. For all we know,
this could be their way of setting me up.” He pushes himself away from the bar.
“No. We can’t risk it.”
“If
we could get them to twenty-five million, we could buy our own island and live
in paradise forever.”
“We
already live in paradise, my friend.”
“I’m
tired of running this bar.”
“This
bar is your cover. Hiding didn’t work before. Hiding in plain sight is. And we
will continue to make it work.”
“Whatever,”
the bartender says, his disappointment showing in both his expression and
gestures. But he does as told—logs into a secure network and declines the
offer.
He’s
surprised when there is an immediate response.
“They
just offered thirty million.”
He
shakes his head no.
The
bartender relays his decision, then his eyes go wide with shock.
“You
need to see this for yourself,” he says, handing him the laptop.
The
assassin reads the instant message.
Thirty
million is my final offer, but I suspect it’s not about the money. I have other
information that may interest you. The first target is not only a powerful
world leader, but he is the legacy of the man who double-crossed you six years
ago.
He’s
rereading it again just to be sure, when another message pops up.
Does
that change your mind?
The
assassin drains the beer in front of him. “Tell the man that it most certainly
does.”
Revenge won’t change
anything—or will it?

Trailer
Excerpt
We clink our glasses together then down the
shots. The groomsman passes me a lime wedge, but I shake my head, causing him
to pull me aside.
“My name’s Jared,” he says with a cocky smirk.
“I thought this was supposed to be a no-names
night?” I reply, giving him shit, even though I have no interest in him.
“It is. But for you, I’ll make an exception.
You need to know what name to say when I make you scream later.”
Cade comes up from behind Jared, clamping his
big hand down on Jared’s skinny shoulder.
Jared glances back at Cade. They share some
kind of a look that causes Jared to immediately ditch me. He saunters over to
Tory and throws his arm around her, which earns him a hint of a smile from
Cade.
“So does this mean you’re not married?” Tory
asks Jared.
“Nope, I’m single as a Pringle,” he replies.
I expect Cade to say something to me, but
instead he turns away.
I’m not sure what just happened, but I think
it was some guy-code thing.
And it pisses me off.
Tory sees the rage on my face, takes my hand,
and drags me off to the bathroom.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did you see that!?” I rant, as we step inside
the ladies’ room, finding a long line. “Cade cock blocked me! Not that I wanted
that guy’s cock, because you already called dibs on it, but Cade didn’t know
that!”
“Since you don’t have a cock,” she replies. “I
think it’s called blocking the box.”
“Oh, no,” the girl in front of us says. “It’s
called twat blocking.”
“I thought it was boxed,” another woman says.
“Baseball players call cock blocking stealing signs.”
A voice from inside one of the stalls yells
out, “It’s called clam jamming.”
Pretty soon everyone in the bathroom is giving
us their opinions.
“Twat swatting or twat
stopping.”
“Beaver dammed.”
“Va-jected!”
I shake my head at Tory. “Whatever. It really
shouldn’t matter what part you have. I got cock blocked because I will be
having no cock tonight.”
“There’s still time,” Tory says. “You can have
the groomsman. You need to get laid worse than I do, honey. It’s been far too
long.”
“But why would he cock block me and then walk
away?!”
As soon as the words tumble out of my mouth,
Cade’s mother steps out of one of the stalls.
I put my head down, hoping she won’t notice me
and, thankfully, she squeezes past us without saying a word.
“Holy buckets,” Tory says when the door closes
behind her. “Wasn’t that his mother?”
“Uh, yeah. You can kill me now.”
Want to meet the other brother?

Keatyn Chronicles Series.
Broken Love is a really sweet second chance
meets best friends little sister romance.
I think I was expecting something a lot more angsty when I read the
blurb so as I got into this I was so happy to see that it had a lot less drama
and a lot more sweetness than I anticipated, as well as a heap of smoking hot
sex scenes, and I loved it.
Cade was such a sweetheart. He wore his heart
on his sleeve and was so openly head over heels in love with Palmer I loved
him. That said I really would have liked him to man up a few times and stand up
for himself more, not that he bent over for anyone but there were a few moments
there where I would have forgiven him for screaming “What the fuck?” in a few
faces and maybe have things go his way a little (or a whole heap more) rather
than being a stand up guy and trying to make everyone around him happy.
And obviously one of those people was Palmer.
She was a bit of a dumbfuck I am sorry to say. While I can understand her
hiding her relationship initially from her brother when they first started but
damn did she drag that out to the end and cause untold misery by being a
stubborn idiot. Now I didn’t hate her per say so much as I just felt like her
choices were stupid and she over reacted and held onto petty crap way too long.
Palmer was wickedly funny in her inner
dialogue and her best friend / assistant cougar was awesome and their
relationship and conversations had me laughing out loud a few times. I really
hope Tory gets her own book cause I am sure she will be hysterical and
entertaining to the very end. I loved her.
The families and secondary characters in this
book were flawless and I really am enjoying this series. I am not sure if I
want to see another Crawford brother get his book next or maybe Palmer’s
brother, Pike, or her assistant Tory bet whichever way it goes I will be there
with my one click happy little finger making sure it lands on my kindle.
