THEO
There's an eerie
calm before the storm,
And my best
friend is in the direct path of the hit.
I have to
protect him, no matter the cost.
He's like a
brother to me.
I'll do whatever
it takes to make sure he's safe.
Even if that
means being pulled into the vortex that is Jules Hemingway,
A sexy, fiery
tempest that has the potential to destroy everything in her wake.
All I want is to
dive in, take my chances.
But first, I
must complete the mission—save my friend.
Though it may
mean losing what really matters,
The only woman
worth drowning for.
JULES
Something's
amiss—strange and ominous,
And I can't
quite put my finger on it.
When Theo
Katawhateverhisnameis comes thundering in,
It's like
lightning to my heart, my body, my soul.
It's a shock—a
jolt, as I realize my life is a scam,
A scheme with no
winners.
I'm in over my
head, treading in a sea of lies,
Leery of whom to
trust,
Only looking to
protect myself, my heart.
Together, we're
wreckage, debris,
but are we
collateral damage in this perfect storm?
"Passionate.
Angsty. Mind-blowing. A masterful tale of intrigue, lust, and jaw-dropping
sex...Yep. It's one of my hottest reads this year." -Ilsa

Swiping my face
with my shirt, it’s hard to ignore the searing gazes of the girls in the gym
that roam to the exposed skin of my ripped abs. A small sideways smirk quirks
at the corners of my lips as I duck my head down, heat rushing to my cheeks. I
work damn hard for this body, and I love when someone appreciates it. I nod at
Rockin’ Red, who’s licking her pouty lips like I’m a fine piece of meat she’s
hoping to slowly devour. She probably has a better chance with Charlie,
unfortunately for her. Of course, there’s a lot more of him to consume. The
thought causes me to chortle.
Making my way to
the locker room, I swing the door open. “I’m meeting Jules tomorrow night. You
can have your guy do it—” They glance in the mirror at me.
I nod. “‘Sup?”
“What’s
happenin’?” Their jaws tick. It may have been posed as a question, but it was
definitely a statement.
“I heard you
overtalkin’ out there. You know I was engaged once. Never again. I say, get as
much ass as you can while you can, man.”
Charlie’s eyes
narrow at me as he sizes me up, but he’s more than six inches shorter than me.
“It’s not nice to eavesdrop.”
“Didn’t mean to.
Normally, I have my iPod with me, but I forgot it. And, if it was a secret,
maybe you shouldn’t be talking so loudly I could hear you two machines over.
But anyway, I’m not here to socialize.” I glance down at my pecs and abs as I
pull my shirt over my head. “In case you can’t tell.”
“Right.” He
laughs. “And as for my fiancée. If you saw her, you’d understand why I wanted
the best of both fucking worlds, man. Have a nice night.” Charlie pats Tattoo
Guy on the back. “Let’s get outta here, Angelo.” Ah. Charlie looks back over
his shoulder.
“Sorry, I didn’t catch your name. I’m Charlie Hawke.”
I didn’t miss
that he didn’t extend his hand to me, so I push mine out toward him. “Theo.
Theo Kataigída.”
“Greek, huh?”
I nod, smiling.
“You got it."
He never takes
my hand. They both just give me a look that screams ‘go fuck yourself’ before
walking out. Yeah. The feeling is fucking mutual fuckers.
J.B. McGee is a
mother, wife, and the Amazon Top 100 author of the best-selling This Series.
Amazon Crossing acquired the German rights to her debut novel, Broken.
Heartfall, her coming of age novel about a bullied ballerina, is a #1 best
seller in the Teen and Young Adult Performing Arts genre. Skipping Stones, a
military romance about a young woman strongly influenced by her faith and her
family all the while searching for her true love, is a #1 best seller in
Women's Christian Fiction.
When J.B.'s not
writing, she enjoys reading as well as watching and live-chatting her favorite
television shows with her friends. Her favorite shows are Quantico, Blindspot,
Grey’s Anatomy, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Below Deck, The Vampire Diaries, The
Originals, and Scandal (mainly because of her love of Scott Foley).
Born and raised
in Aiken, South Carolina, she attended Converse College and eventually earned
her Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from The University of
South Carolina-Aiken in 2006.
In college, she
was told by her children’s literature professor she would be the one student
from her class to be an author. McGee shook her head and laughed. But in 2012,
over six years after that statement was made and after a love of reading had
been reignited, she gave writing a shot. J.B. gladly ate crow when she emailed
her first book to the above mentioned children’s literature professor thanking
her and acknowledging the accuracy of her prophecy.
In 2011, it was
discovered that not only do both of her children, but also she and her husband,
have mitochondrial disease. Affecting 1 in 2500 people, it has no cure or
treatments. Being a writer allows J.B. to care for her family’s unique needs
while also providing a platform for raising awareness for this disease.
She is a
hopeless romantic who loves to escape into fairy tales—some she reads and some
she creates.
J.B. McGee and
her family now reside in Buford, Georgia.
