Boarded by Love by Toni
Aleo
Coming September 8th, 2014!
Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies
and lover of all ladies. Hockey’s in my blood, and not to sound full of myself,
but I’m good at it…really good. The draft is within my reach—it’s mine to
take—but that’s not the only reason people know my name. They know me because
of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to
stay away from repeat performances. In other words, I don’t do relationships
beyond my family and friends. I’m happy with life. However, I should warn you
that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain
redhead on campus.
She’s beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking.
She’s my game changer.
He’s trouble from the moment I see him. I don’t know what
I’m thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I’m his. It’s a scary
feeling.
I’ve never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle—and even
that took months. I didn’t have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung
out, and she didn’t give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her
were more important to her. It was horrible, but I’m stronger today. Because of
my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of
myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don’t want to ever be hungry or go
without again, so I work hard for every penny.
Oh, by the way, I’m Claire Anderson. I’m a hard-studying
sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and
a burlesque dancer at a club, but that’s my secret.
You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no
clue. It’s not easy falling in love… or living happily ever after. At first it
may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight?
Especially when you’re boarded by love.

MUSIC MONDAY
Trouble indeed, but it didn’t matter. He’s pushing
and pulling me straight to him, and I am sure he isn’t going to let me go. Not
that I want to. There is something about him that has me completely and utterly
drawn to him, no pulling needed. While I want to sleep with him, I also want to
know him. Really, I have no clue what I want. I just want Jude. All of him and
I’m glad he turned down my offer to go to bed. While I want it, I don’t think I
would have gone through it, but then with the way he’s looking at me, his
hooded green eyes flaring with lust, I’m thinking that previous statement was a
total lie.
I damn well want him more than my next breath.
