From the first chapter... Nicky realizes more than
ever that her life is heading in the wrong direction... She's lost both of her
parents, has a worthless boyfriend, and she still has to go to work.
But now, is she making another mistake?
Excerpt:
Nicky
sat on the cold concrete, waiting for a return call that never came. This was
it; they were over. Never would she allow a man to take hold of her life and
use it when he wanted. From now on, she’d take what she wanted. As soon as she
saved enough money, she’d escape him and the rotten life she’d somehow ended up
living.
The door
opened and Nicky looked up instinctively, but lowered her head remembering her
tears. Her eyes were surely bloodshot and swollen. It was the gentleman from
her table, the nice one. He cast a glance in her direction, but then walked off
toward the parking lot.
A few
seconds later, he appeared in front of her again. Only this time he was sitting
on a motorcycle. “I apologize about my coworker.” He shook his head as though
it were his fault Brad-guy was a moron. “Brad’s an idiot even when he doesn’t
have a few beers in him.”
Nicky
looked the man over; he looked like a nice guy. “I don’t suppose you could give
me a ride, could you?” she asked, shocked she would even think of such a
prospect.
Motorcycle-guy
looked bewildered, too. “Uh, sure. You can wear my helmet, I suppose.”
