BLURB:
I’ve
always been, Miranda Phillips, the town pariah. Growing up with neglectful
parents, having sought attention from all the guys that were willing to give it
to me, I wasn't the most well-behaved kid in Lone Star. Killing an entire pond
of Mrs. Potter’s fish when I was sixteen is one of many juvenile delinquent
acts I’ve done in my past.
But
now I am Lone Star’s reporter, only reporter and I’ve come a long way from
being that lost, troubled girl, even if most of the town still judged me for
it. I don’t allow anyone to get in the way of what I want. Including Ryan John.
So when I corner him in the dark hallway and get him to succumb to the sizzling
attraction between us, I know I’m playing with fire.
***
Even
though I’ve successfully avoided her for two months, I haven't forgotten how
she tastes or what she feels like in my arms. And when I get sent a mysterious
letter from some company wanting to buy my thousand shares of water rights that
have been in my family for over a hundred years, I’m convinced that there is no
one…err, better equipped, to help me than Lone Star's only reporter, Miranda
Phillips.
I
know how desperately she wants me and this letter gives me all the reason I
need to spend one night with the girl from the wrong side of town. One night in
exchange for her tight investigative skills. And believe me, she's tight, in
more ways than one. One night. Because Miranda is trouble and being on the city
council, as well as guardian to my younger brother and sister, means I can't
afford trouble.
Even
if it comes packaged just the way I like.

EXCERPT
THREE:
Yes,
I was more attracted to Miranda than any other female I had ever come across,
but that didn’t make her girlfriend material. How do I explain all of that to a
thirteen-year-old girl? Besides, even though I had a strict no-dating rule for
their young ages, I didn’t want to hurt Brianna’s feelings by allowing her to
think the boy she was so infatuated with didn’t share her feelings. She was my
sister and as cute as she was now, she was going to grow up and become a real
heart-breaker. I was fucked.
What
in the hell do I do? I lifted my head and asked her to sit down.
“Listen
to me, okay? As you can see, Miranda is very beautiful. I’m a guy, I take
notice in that because it’s natural so that’s why I look at her that way. Adam
probably thinks you’re beautiful too because you are, okay?”
“Okay.
But I need to know if he likes me!”
“You’re
thirteen, Brianna! It doesn’t matter. Look, I’m sorry. Yes, okay. If he was
looking at you the way I was looking at Miranda, then yes, he likes you.”
Somehow
I’m going to regret this later.
“Soooo,
you like Miranda, then? Is she going to be your girlfriend?”
Not
much later. Was I seriously having this conversation with my thirteen-year-old
sister?

AUTHOR BIO:
Ashley
Bostock was born and raised in Colorado where she currently resides with her
husband, two children, her dog and two cats. She loves reading, writing, and
music and is always trying to find more time in the day to incorporate all
three.
Seeking
an outlet and pursuing her life-long passion for writing, she began composing
her first novel in late 2013. She has traveled all over the world, but still
has an extensive list of places she would love to visit. Anywhere near a
sky-blue ocean will always be at the top of that list.
She
carries a Bachelor’s Degree in History with a concentration in Elementary
Education from Metropolitan State College of Denver. While she loves children,
she now fears teaching, which probably has something to do with being a
stay-at-home mom.
