Blurb

A brand new standalone from Friendship, Texas featuring everyone's favorite awkward baker and the one that got away.

I looked up and standing there was my ex-boyfriend, Jordan Webber. Maybe ex-boyfriend wasn't the right word. Maybe the boy who I dated for almost two years. Then he graduated early, leaving for art school in New York. He wanted me to come with him, but what future did I have in New York? My parents weren’t paying for me to go to school unless it was a state school with a real degree and all I ever wanted was to do photography. So the portrait studio worked for the time being until I realized I really needed to get out of the house and took the part-time job at the bakery. Between my parents’ divorce, work, and trying to get over my break up, I was basically a hot mess the first two years after high school. Joey came in at the right time as a distraction then the job at the bakery. But I still never forgot about the one that got away.

I hadn't seen Jordan in over four years and there he was, standing there with a hand on one of the boxes and his blue eyes wide open like he'd just seen a ghost.

"Abbey Dillinger?" he asked, it wasn't so much of a question as it was a breathless statement.

I hated him for leaving me. He could have gone to art school in Dallas. He could have stayed if he really did love me. I should have hated him. But seeing him, standing in front of me, I couldn’t hate him. The past four years had been very good to him.

**This book is a standalone in a series of standalones taking place in the fictional town of Friendship, Texas. You don't need to read any of the previous books to understand this one***

❤❤Part of Me by Magan Vernon Release Day!❤❤❤❤

Welcome back to Friendship, Texas. A town where your best friend may be dating an Olympic swimmer and his best friend may or may not also be an Olympic swimmer you sort of, kind of did the nasty with against Nonna's goat pen.

“Is that…?” I asked, staring at Dr. Burly Santa.
He smiled and nodded. “That would be your baby’s heartbeat.”
The emotion I’d been storing away came flooding back as tears burst from my eyes. A baby. A person. This was real. I was carrying a tiny human inside me.
The doctor tried to console me as he gave me samples of prenatal vitamins and paper after paper was piled in a folder with my name and September on the front.
September. My baby’s due date.
Holy shit, I was going to be a mother.
And Johnny was going to be a father.
I had to do so many things to prepare and people I had to tell. But at that moment, I just stared down at my stomach. My stomach holding my baby.
This wasn’t just about me and my future anymore. This was about us. And whether I liked it or not, this baby was a part of me, which meant Johnny was a part of me. It was time we stopped running from each other.

**This book is a standalone in a series and you do not need to read the first books to understand this one!**

❤❤EXCERPT❤❤

"What are you going to do now, Sofie?" he whispered with his lips barely an inch from mine.

I figured that was basically an open invitation, so I leaned forward and crushed my lips to his.

He put his knee between my legs, spreading them apart and pressing all of him against me.

"Oh my god, that's so fucking hot," I mumbled against his lips, which sounded more like, "Oh meh ger, sah fern hert."

"So you're a talker, eh?" he said against my ear before nipping it.

"Wait, don't leave bite marks. I need those for work. My ears, that is," I said.

Johnny leaned back, the moonlight casting a soft glow on his face. "Are you way too drunk right now to do anything?"

"Are you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow before rocking my hips forward and feeling his hardness press against my core. "Guess not."

"You could get me hard whether I've been drinking all night or not," he said, pushing against me and moving his hips in a circular motion, the friction itself bringing me to the brink.

"Is this because I got my braces off and learned to straighten my hair? Because you probably wouldn’t be doing this if I were still the geek from two years ago. Though, I am still that geek, just with better hair and eyebrows," I said.

"If you sit on my face will that get you to stop rambling?" he asked.

I pouted. "No need to be rude."

"Sorry," he whispered, leaning forward. He let go of one wrist but kept the hand with my phone in it above my head.

"You can’t just say sorry and expect me to drop my panties for you. That only works in romance novels and porn," I grumbled, trying to keep my face neutral, but the guy had a smile I would definitely sit on.

"What? I gave you dinner. Well, the Contis fed you, but I did do those weird tasting shots with you. And what’s more romantic than humping against a goat house?" he asked, broadening his grin.

"Technically, it's a pen," I said.

He smirked. "Okay, smart mouth. If this isn't a come-on, then what was that whole bit about being hot and fluttering your eyelashes?"

"I was hot! I'm wearing a sweater, and we were drinking. And as far as eyelashes go, sometimes mine stick together when I use this cheap mascara. Lia told me to spring for something not in the clearance bin, but that extra five dollars could be used for things like snacks."

Now for an exclusive excerpt of These Paper Walls (the last book! Out next week!)

 

"She loves you, you fucking idiot. She told you that she loved you and you fought with her and came running here instead of saying it back?"

"I know. I know. I'm a dumbass." I ran my hand over my face.

Jackson and I stood in his kitchen. He was in the middle of cooking dinner, but turned off the burner and handed me a beer as soon as I walked in.

I should have just turned back around and gone to Libby's or done something, but instead I found myself driving down the gravel path to Jackson's place.

"Well, what the hell are you going to do about it? Ain't you supposed to fly to Chicago with her tomorrow?"

I took a long pull of my beer. "Yeah. That's probably not going to happen."

Jackson raised his eyebrows. "So you're going to break the girl's heart again? That sounds like a major dick move, even for you."

I shook my head. "You know I ain't never going to be good enough for her. She can't fall in love with me, you know as well as I do that nothing good is going to come of her staying with me."

"Then why do you stay with her? Why, if you seem to think that this is a bad idea, do you stay with her?"

I raked my fingers through my hair. "I don't know! Maybe I'm stupid? A glutton for punishment."

Jackson pointed his beer at me. "Or maybe you love her too and that scares the shit out of you."

I blew out a deep breath. "I don't even know what the hell love is."

He shook his head. "I think love is different for each person, but I think the one thing it has in common is putting the other person's feelings before yours. If you're so worried about Libby loving you, isn't that the same thing?"

I shook my head. "Don't get all philosophical on me right now, Jacks."

He put his hands up. "I'm just saying. I've seen the way you are with her. You know you love her, I just wish you weren't so stupid and you'd put down your beer and drive back over there to apologize."

"We both know I'm not going to do that."

He set his beer down on the counter and crossed his arms over his chest. "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to completely break this girl's heart? Go home and maybe call up one of your past hussies to see if they'll help you get over her, but you know they won't? Why don't you just man up, buddy, for once in your life."

"Fuck you, Jackson," I spat.

"No need to resort to language. I'm just telling you the truth."

"Thanks for the beer," I muttered, setting the half-empty bottle down on the counter before turning and walking out of his house.

He didn't follow. He didn't say anything else. He just let me think on his words.

I lay in bed, unable to sleep, just staring at the ceiling. The same ceiling that not long ago I'm sure Libby had been staring at when I was inside of her.

Now I was alone. Really alone.

And I missed her. I fucking missed her. I missed the way her hair fell over face. The way she bit her lip when she was nervous. Everything.

I shut my eyes, trying to block out her smile, but I couldn't. There was no way to block her out.

I was fucking in love with Libby Gentry, which was dangerous.

I'd seen the hotel her friend was getting married at. I looked up the suburb her parents lived in. They were millionaires and I was just a redneck from southern Louisiana. I'd never be enough.

I shook my head. The best thing was just to end this now before either of us got hurt anymore than we already were.

Expected to release early 2016!

GOODREADS

COVER ARTIST: CT Cover Creations

COVER MODEL: Derrick Keith Shane Meacham

PHOTOGRAPHER: Eric David Battershell

Madden Knox is tempting, talented and undeniably addictive to the last drop. He’s the Wild rush that I crave. The one night stand that all girls spend their nights fantasizing about. Dirty, hard, in charge and completely confident in all that he does. Especially with those fingers… He’s the last thing that I expect to find wandering around my brother’s beach house, naked, only wearing a guitar, but he’s the first thing that has ever had me craving for just one ‘anything goes’ night. Focus, Teegan. Just write your book. That was my plan. Leave my boring small town behind, bring my computer, clothes and whatever other crap I might need and find a little inspiration at my brother’s night club on the beach. A little inspiration is more than what I get slapped with. Talk about wanting to make love to a voice. I never knew exactly what that meant until I heard him playing at my brother’s club, but now just the thought of anything that has to do with that man’s tongue, leaves my whole body vibrating with a hunger that I’m not sure I can fight. Just one taste. One night. No strings. I’m a liar if I’d said I thought that would be possible. If I thought his guitar playing abilities were hot, seeing him in charge, demanding orders at Vortex, my brother’s club that Madden manages, has me completely coming undone and about ready to fall at his feet and obey. He’s a master at getting whatever he wants with little or no effort at all and I can’t help but to hope he wants me. Naughty, demanding, skilled and with a body that screams trouble with every rock hard muscle. He’s wrong in every way and… I’m completely fucking strung. Victoria Ashley grew up in Rockford, IL and has had a passion for reading for as long as she can remember. After finding a reading app where it allowed readers to upload their own stories, she gave it a shot and writing became her passion. She lives for a good romance book with tattooed bad boys that are just highly misunderstood and is not afraid to be caught crying during a good read. When she’s not reading or writing about bad boys, you can find her watching her favorites shows such as Sons Of Anarchy, Dexter and True Blood. She is the author of Wake Up Call, This Regret, Slade, Hemy, Cale, and Get Off on the Pain. Victoria is currently working on more releases for 2015.
