Slow Grind
Men of Mornington #1
By Eva Spencer
Genre: Romance
Release Date: July 28, 2016
Synopsis
Only the good die
young. It’s a phrase I wish never existed.
Best mates
shouldn’t get cancer, especially terminal at twenty-seven. And experimental
treatments shouldn’t cost a hundred grand. But sometimes life just fucking
sucked.
Then I got an idea
to raise the cash. If a woman could strip her way through uni, we could strip
our way to a cure, right? We were attractive Aussie guys, and with the help of
Max’s kid sister, we could nail the choreography.
I hadn't seen
Aubrey since she was twelve. She’d gone from a pig-tailed, freckled tomboy into
the sexiest chick I think I'd ever met. I made a promise to Max to steer clear,
but when she was choreographing our routines …
The Men of
Mornington were going to heat things up, and things just got a whole lot
hotter..
Excerpt
“We’re all in
this together.” I turn my head in the direction of the strong, sexy voice,
locking on a pair of ice blue eyes I’d recognize anywhere. My heart pounds as I
take the rest of him in, my eyes travelling over his long, muscular frame. He
leans casually against the wall, his hands shoved in the pockets of his faded
jeans. He smiles at me, and I suddenly feel like I’m twelve years old again,
yearning for a boy who can never love me back.
“Hey Andrew,” I
stutter, scurrying off the bed. “It’s been a while.”
“I’d say so. It’s
Drew now.” He lets out a low whistle and shakes his head. “Little Aubrey is all
grown up,” he drawls and the pure sex oozing off his voice is almost enough to
take out my knees. The only thing saving me is my sick brother lying down on the
bed next to me.
“I’m getting
there,” I mumble, my mouth dry. I can feel the heat in my cheeks as I continue
to stare into his eyes. I try to look away, but it’s as if they have me
captured in their depths. “Thanks for being here. It means a lot. There
aren’t many childhood memories that don’t have you in them. It’s nice to see
you’re still around pestering my brother.”
“Like I said, we’re
in this together. The guys and I think we’ve found something, but it’s gonna
take a little more research to see if we can pull it off. It’ll be a miracle,
but it’s worth a shot.”
“If there’s
anything I can do to help, let me know. I’m all about Team Max.”
“You guys do know
that Max is right here, right?”
“Oh shut up, ya big
pussy. We know exactly where you are. Just sit back and let us handle this,
okay?” Drew orders.
“Yeah,” I chime in.
“Let us take care of you for a change, you big pussy.” I stutter on the word
pussy, the feeling that I did something wrong hitting me like a bag of bricks.
The last time I was here, I was just a child. Now, I’m standing in my brother’s
room, calling him a pussy, no less. Times sure have changed.
Max rolls his eyes
in true Max fashion and flicks on the TV, ignoring both Drew and myself. Drew
moves closer toward the bed and stops at the end, playfully slapping Max’s
foot.
“How’s Emma?” I ask
him. I feel awkward even asking, considering how I just dropped all contact
with her. I hadn’t even meant to do it, but it was just so hard starting
everything over again in a new country…I can’t even admit the truth to myself.
I cut her out because the reminder of Drew was too much to cope with.
“She’s good. She’s
rapt your back, Aubs. She missed you. We all did.”
The heat in my
cheeks starts up again. He missed me. Like a friend. The only way you
can miss your best mates little sister.
