For Holden
Masters, there are some things money can’t buy, but that isn’t the case at the
annual Magnolia Grove Cancer Charity Benefit. The only woman he's ever wanted
is up for bids in a ‘secret date’ auction. This isn't the first time he’s
yearned for Cammie Spencer. Despite family drama and a web of deceit having
nearly sealed their fates, Holden refuses to give up without a fight.
After an
unexpected turn of events, Cammie Spencer starts to wonder if there is more to
life than being high society arm candy and whether her fiancé, Oliver, is the
man for her. There's no denying Holden’s always made her hot, but over the
years, he's become the most tempting form of forbidden love.
Holden's only
obstacle now is proving he’s more than the cocky bad boy she's pegged him for.
Can he finally show her that their past doesn't have to define their
future?
Will he be able to not only win her date, but her heart, before she marries the wrong man?
Will he be able to not only win her date, but her heart, before she marries the wrong man?
“I loved the
banter and giggled at the dirty, naughty talk. Holden has quite the potty mouth
and I freaking love it. #HotForHolden” - Jen Oreto
“In her usual
style, JB McGee completely drew me into the lives of Camellia and Holden, leaving
me seriously wanting much much more, not wanting to say goodbye.” -Tami,
The Book Enthusiast
“JB McGee does
not disappoint in the story of second chances and destined love.” -
Author Rachael Duncan
My strides are
long and brisk. As soon as the cabana is within sight, I see the door isn’t
completely shut. My instinct, once again, is spot-on. Grinning, I tap on the
door before entering. “Cam, it’s me.”
“I obviously
wanted time alone. So, fuck off.”
Damn. “You’ve
got quite the potty mouth these days.” I chuckle. “It’s fucking hot as hell,
but I told myself I’d be quiet, so I’m gonna shut up now and just come in. You
don’t have to talk. You don’t have to act like I’m here, but you need to eat
somethin’.”
She doesn’t say
anything, so I push the door open, closing and locking it behind me. “Here,” I
say, offering her the plate.
Her chin lifts
and we’re staring into each other’s eyes, a standoff of sorts. She offers a small
smile, which her furrowed brows contradict. Over the years, I’ve memorized her
facial expressions, but I’m not sure if she’s glad to see me. Or not. “Thank
you, but I lost my appetite a long time ago.”
“You need to
eat. Just a few bites. Don’t make me beg more than I already have tonight.”
She’s on the
sofa, her elbows resting on her knees, glaring at me. “I thought you said you
were going to be quiet.”
Pulling a chair
over, I place it in front of her, then sit down. “I said I would be quiet while
you ate. If you’re not going to eat, I’m gonna annoy the hell out of you till
you do.” I slice a piece of the filet, jab it with the fork, and offer it to
her. “Want me to shut my mouth, then open yours.”
Cammie’s lips
barely part, close, and then open again. She leans forward, accepting the
delicate morsel. Atta girl.
While she chews
that, I honor my promise to keep quiet. I cut the rest of the meat into pieces.
I inch closer, offering her another bite. She moves closer too. Soon, we’re
mere inches from each other. Her warmth, her flowery, sweet scent makes me
reposition myself in the chair to keep my raging hard-on at bay. When I notice
she has something in the crevice of her lips, instead of offering a
handkerchief—like a gentleman would do—I gently brush my finger over the spot.
I never said I was a gentleman. Or did I? I don’t care. I just want to touch
her, to suck those lips until they’re swollen. I want to taste every bit of her
mouth with mine.
Fuck.
I refuse to kiss
her again after what happened earlier. I thought she wanted it then, but now,
the only way that’s going to happen is if she initiates it or asks for it. But
even with that said, there’s no way in hell I’m backing away, giving her any
space. I’m staying put right where I am hoping she’ll be the one to beg me to
finish what we started earlier.
I follow her
eyes as they wander to the framed photo of our families near the entry. She’s
standing with her brother, mom, and dad. Violet, my baby sister, and I are in
front of Mom and Dad. Those were the good ole days. So good it hurts like a
bitch. Her face tightens and her eyes squint. Seeing that picture, that look on
her face, works better than a cold shower.
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.
