Excerpt
Chapter 1
Georgia Burke slipped a hand down her hip,
smoothing her favorite skirt in place as the summer breeze whipped across the
lake. The last thing she needed was to flash the Drunken Duck patrons on the
patio a look at her girly bits. Granted, they were covered in her sexiest pair
of cream lace panties, and she was here to pick up a hot man to do the dirty
with, but her newfound brazen spirit only went so far.
If she was lucky it would actually survive until
she ordered a drink at the bar.
Georgia's confidence crumbled as she made her
way to the front entrance of the pub and a group of guys on the patio started
laughing. Two pointed at her and the third whipped his head around to see her.
They all had classically good looks, short hair and lean muscles behind fitted
t-shirts. Young. They snickered at her expense again, but she squared her
shoulders and moved into the interior of the pub.
Fuck them and their frat boy mentality.
Women came in all shapes and sizes, and if they
expected every female to fit their version of sexy, they were going to be
sorely mistaken when they got out in the real world.
Georgia put a little extra swing into her walk
as she gathered her confidence again. She had great tits and a curvy build with
no shame in showing off. It might've taken years to find that confidence, only
to have it knocked back by her last boyfriend, but she wasn't letting any man
dictate how she felt about herself ever again.
Fuck that and fuck them.
And with that final thought, she took her size
sixteen ass straight to the mahogany bar and ordered a very nice local craft
beer on tap. The little pixie behind the bar served it up without fuss and
started Georgia a tab.
While she was sipping at her beer and scoping
out the crowd, a body bumped into her right arm. The beer splashed down the
front of her fitted, white shirt, highlighting the lace bra underneath for
anyone to see. After setting her half empty beer down, Georgia turned to face
the guy who had yet to apologize or acknowledge he was most definitely in her
personal space. It might be a Friday night on the lake, but it was still
relatively early and the place wasn't busting at the seams yet.
It was one of the college boys from the patio.
He had a self-satisfied smirk on his face, staring down Georgia's top but never
really looking at her face.
"Nice rack for a fat chick."
Before she could speak up, the petite bartender
scooped up her glass and handed over a stack of bar napkins. "Apologize to
the lady."
"It was an accident."
The bartender, all five feet nothing of her,
leveled the kid across from her with a glare that could melt the skin off his
face and said, "Acting like a dick in my bar will get your ass kicked out.
Now apologize."
"Babe, this isn't even your bar. And I'm a
paying customer. No one's kicking me out."
Georgia raised a lone eyebrow at the kid's
audacity, but the bartender across from her just threw her head back and
laughed. And laughed some more.
When she dropped her head back down there wasn't
any lingering humor on her face. She was all business and looked a little bit
deadly.
"That mountain standing behind you,"
she lifted a finger to point at a very severe, and very large, man that
appeared behind the frat boy, "is my husband."
"Molly?"
Georgia did a double take when the massive man
slapped a hand down on the kid's shoulder. He was tall, well over six feet,
built like a brick house, and completely bald. Dead sexy as well. But that was
all secondary to how quickly the frat boy paled when he turned to face Molly's
husband.
"Cal, be a doll and show this dick and his
friends off the property."
The kid sputtered as Cal led him away with a
firm grip without another word.
Georgia turned around and faced Molly behind the
bar. "Thanks, but you didn't have to kick anyone out because of me."
Molly frowned. "Honey, those fucking clowns
needed to go. They're predators and it was just a matter of time before Cal
throat punched them. It was my pleasure."
Even though she smiled, Georgia didn't know what
to say in response to that, so she just started to mop up her wet shirt.
"You vacationing here? Haven't seen you
around before."
"My brother lives here and I'm house
sitting while he's road tripping with my nephew. I just got in this afternoon."
"You're Dane Burke's kid sister? Georgia,
right?"
Georgia's head snapped up. "You know
Dane?"
Molly shrugged. "Small town. He's neighbors
with a good friend of mine. Nice guy. Great kid."
"Yeah, they're both pretty great."
"Welcome to Fox Lake." She paused,
placing a fresh beer down. "Your neighbor in the bungalow is Emma Rae, and
her man is Gabe. You let any of us know if you need something while you're
here."
Georgia nodded, then sat back and took in the
petite woman. Small town hospitality at its finest. She might actually like it
here. "I appreciate that. I'm a little out of my element right now."
Molly leaned forward and rested her arms on the
bar before speaking. "Stop back in through the week sometime. It's
typically quieter, and I'll buy you a drink. We're going to be friends,
chick."
Georgia let a slow smile spread across her face.
"I'd like that, Molly."
"Good. I'll be back to check on you in a
bit. Crowds going to be picking up soon." She slapped a hand down on the
bar before walking away.
Georgia scanned the area again. It looked like
everyone was paired off or in groups. So much for her grand plan to score a hot
guy for some dirty sex. It was probably a dumb idea anyway. Just because you
found your jerk boyfriend sticking it in your friend, in your bed, and in your
apartment, doesn't mean snapping up a random dude at a bar was a good idea.
But it definitely sounded like fun.
