The V Card. Virgin. Most of us want to punch that sucker ASAP, and hide the fact until then, but not Cassie Hale. Three years ago she frickin’ covered hers in glitter and laminated the thing, proudly telling me that she’s waiting for the perfect guy.

So when I see her half naked, tangled together, rolling around on the floor with another stripper, I’m kind of shocked. Okay, that’s an understatement. I’m enthralled. I have to know what cracked her picture perfect world and landed her here, and I hope it’s something horrible-an event that broke her the way she broke me. Because, that’s who Cassie Hale is–the woman who stole my heart and crushed it in her hand.

Excerpt:

CASSIE

As I climb the steps up the side of the stage and head to the silvery tinsel

curtain, I call back to Beth. “Who is this party for again? And why is he the shit? I

must have missed the memo.”

She laughs as she’ s examining one of the lights within the glass table. It looks

like fire, but it can’ t be since it’ s pink. She looks up at me. “Dr. Peter Granz, and

he’ s the shit because he’ s a Ferro. Hence the swank party.” Beth looks up when I

don’ t answer.

I rush at Beth, nearly knocking her over. My jaw is hanging open as worry

darts across my face faster than I can contain it. “Ferro?”

“Yeah, why?”

I’ m in melt down mode. “I can’ t be here.” I glance around the room and

look at the door longingly. Before I make up my mind to run, I hear male voices

approaching. Fuck! My heart pounds faster in my chest. If he’ s here, if Jonathan

sees me—the thought cuts off before it finishes.

I’ m ready to bounce out the window when Beth grabs my wrist and hauls me

to the front of the room. She shoves me behind the curtain and hisses in my ear,

“If you freak out now, Gretchen will steal your job. Snap out of it. Whoever this

guy is, he isn’ t worth it.”

The tinsel curtain in front of me flutters, but it conceals both of us for the

moment. The male voices grow louder until the door is yanked open. The curtain

rustles and I’ m in full freak-out mode. He can’ t be here. He can’ t see me like this.

At the same time, Beth’ s right. I can’ t skip out. Bruce will run me over with the

van and there’ s no way in hell they’ ll ever give me another cent.

I stand there, frozen, unable to think. Every muscle in my body is strained,

ready to run, but I don’ t move. My bare feet remain glued to the floor as I smash

my lips together.

Then, I hear it—that voice. It floats through the air like a familiar old song. Oh

God, someone shoot me. I can’ t do this.

  1. I’m open minded when it comes to books. I love reading and I need some interesting stories to get me by during those hours in between my college classes 😀
