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.
