From the New York Times Bestselling Author of The
Resistance comes this new STANDALONE contemporary
romance.
Because
first love deserves a second chance
One
month.
One
movie.
One shot
at a second chance.
I fell
madly in love at first sight with Jane Lewis.
The girl
with bright green eyes, a pretty smile, and great ass owned my heart. I thought
she was happy with the status quo, but ten years later, I foolishly let her go.
Despite dating other women, no one compares to my first love. We are meant to
be together, and I'm going to try my damnedest to convince her of that.
Luke
Anders tricked me. The deal was sealed before I knew he was behind it.
We agreed
to be just friends. Simple. Easy. But it's not just the weather that's hot in
Texas. I was a fool to think I could resist him. He knows how to work his
charms and those kissable lips, that great jaw, and biceps. We are here to
work, but he has become downright distracting.
I'm
strong. I can handle one month of his flirtatious sexual torture. But if I
happen to fall in bed with that sexy bastard for a night, or three, does that
make me weak? Asking for a friend, of course.
I guess
I'm about to find out when love gets messy, it's not just the talk that's
dirty.
**BONUS BOOK EDITION of Dirty Talk
includes the full novel of Sweet Talk. "Sweet Talk is a fun, sexy, emotionally-rich second
chance romance with a charm-your-panties-off hero." ~ New York Times
Bestselling Author, Violet Duke
Excerpt
~Jane Lewis~
The panic subsides and
then reality hits me.
Luke Anders is right next door to me. For a month.
I’ve only been here for
a minute or so and I’m sweltering. The air hasn’t cooled me off so I pull my
shirt away from my sticky skin. A knock on the window makes me jump; my hand
instantly covers my heart.
Luke steps away from
the car with his hands up in surrender. He mouths, “Sorry.”
Shaking my head, I take
another quick breath to calm myself, and push the button that slides the window
down.
“Sorry about that. I
didn’t realize I was sneaking up on you.”
“It’s okay,” I reassure
him, my heart racing—from his close proximity or from being startled I’m not
quite sure.
When I open the door,
he opens it wider and I get out. I can’t help but take him in, my breath
escaping me just like the first time I ever saw him. He’s stunningly handsome,
maybe even more so. Definitely more so.
One month without seeing him and now he’s trying to kill me. His rugged good
looks, the T-shirt stretching across his broad, hard body, and a week’s worth
of beard growth makes me want to rub my fingers and other things on it to see
if it’s rough or soft.
In a word?
Damn. Hot.
Fine, two words, but
he’s worth breaking the rules for.
And just like that, all
my better senses fly out the window. “Have you been working out?” I regret
saying it the second I do. I regret it doubly when that cocky smirk that made
me fall in love with him appears, transforming his entire attitude.
He pops a bicep for me,
and replies, “I’ve gotten in a little gym time recently.”
“Well, it shows.” Shut up, Jane. I wave my hand in the
air, unable to control myself. “I’ve got a VIP ticket to the gun show. Any idea
where I might redeem it?” What the hell
am I doing? He drives me nuts and I fall for it every time.
Luke laughs. Pretending
to take the imaginary ticket, he stashes it in his back pocket. One arm goes
out and then the other. “Bam. Bam! Check these babies out.”
Now I’m a giggling
mess. Running my hand over one then the other, I smile. “It was worth every
dime I spent on that ticket.” I squeeze his muscle.
He laughs and drops his
arm. “And how many dimes did you spend?”
“Ten shiny dimes for
each.” I walk around to the back of the car and open my trunk.
Luke chuckles even
harder. “Glad you got your money’s worth then.” He comes around and grabs the
large suitcase out, setting it on the sidewalk and pulling up the handle.
I reach in the backseat
and pull out the last box, but he moves in and grabs it for me. “Take the
suitcase. I’ll carry this for you.”
Rolling the suitcase
behind me, we walk along the sidewalk back to the hotel as if we’re friends, as
if we haven’t hurt each other’s hearts. I ask, “What were you doing out here?”
“Getting coffee. I
heard Jo’s is great. It’s next to the hotel.”
“I could use one. The
drive was exhausting.”
He walks one step to
the side and behind me. “Why did you drive?”
“I wanted to have a
car.” I hate lying, especially to him, but I’m not ready for him to know I
don’t have a place to call home anymore or a place to store my car in LA for a
month. I’ll have to face the fact of my reality once this film wraps, so I
choose to hide my eyes and stick with the white lie.
A silence pervades the journey as we walk
through the courtyard. I stop in front of my door. Looking to his, I wonder if
he realizes the relation of the two. Turning back to him, his smile is much
nicer, more the sweet boy I once knew. I still struggle with what to say, so I
awkwardly shift, and signal to the door behind me. “This is me.” I unlock the
door, and step inside.
“Right next door.” He
follows me inside. After setting the box down on the table, he looks around the
room. “Just like mine. It’s nice we’ll be neighbors.”
“Quite the
coincidence.”
“Maybe. Maybe not.”
“Maybe not?”
“Could be fate, Janie.”
“You never believed in
fate.” I sit on the bed just as some of the old feelings come swirling back in
the quiet of the room.
“I believe in destiny
these days.”
Meet S.L. Scott
New York
Times and USA Bestselling Author, S. L. Scott, was always interested in the
arts. She grew up painting, writing poetry and short stories, and willing her
days away lost in a good book and the movies.
With a
degree in Journalism, she continued her love of the written word by reading
American authors like Salinger and Fitzgerald. She was intrigued by their
flawed characters living in picture perfect worlds, but could still debate that
the world those characters lived in were actually the flawed ones. This dynamic
of leaving the reader invested in the words, inspired Scott to start writing
with emotion while interjecting an underlying passion into her own stories.
Living in
the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados,
beaches, and cooking with her kids. She's obsessed with epic romances and loves
a good plot twist. She dreams of seeing one of her own books made into a movie
one day as well as returning to Europe. Her favorite color is blue, but she
likens it more toward the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the
welcoming symbol of the pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she
likes to think she's a pro.
