Excerpt
Lake closed her eyes at the sound of
screeching metal hitting the pavement from the car’s muffler scraping the road.
Her father’s car was an old Cadillac she was sure dated back to the eighties;
it honestly needed work. Total junker.
Her father somehow managed to keep it
working by doing his own repairs on it, using different parts from various cars
and even making some himself. Lake liked to call it the Frankenlac.
She thought he would have bought a new car
sometime between 1981 and 2014, but nope. He had better ways to spend his
money. Yeah, like betting on a
horse or for chips to throw in the middle of a poker table.
Even though Lake’s father was a
level-twelve gambler on the Richter scale, she wouldn’t trade him for the world
because Lake knew the other side of the coin all too well.
She shook her head, unwilling to think
about the coming weekend. Most teenagers would be happy it was Friday, but not
her. No, her weekends were nothing except torturous. Literally.
Her father finally reached the destination
and put the car in park. “All right, kiddo. Have a good day. I’ll see you
Monday.”
Lake looked away from all the stares
outside of the car to meet her father’s smile. “You, too, Dad. See you Monday.”
She had managed to force a smile of her own by the end of the sentence.
Lake opened the door and stepped out of
the car, grabbing her bag.
“Love ya, kiddo.”
That time, Lake didn’t have to force a
smile. “Love you, Dad.”
As she closed the door, another scraping
sound occurred. After watching her father start to drive away, she was finally
able to turn around and face the teenagers’ looks. It honestly wasn’t as bad as
it seemed; they always had much better things to talk about. Not to mention a short attention span.
See, Lake wasn’t popular nor was she
unpopular; she was just … well, Lake.
Boom!
After a moment of complete silence, loud
laughter filled the air along with some serious black smoke from her father’s
car blowing a gasket. Lake put her head down and pulled up the hood from her
hoodie, trying to conceal her face.
Great.
It can’t get any worse, can it? She started walking through
the parking lot, weaving between the people and cars.
Beginning to hear loud music come closer,
Lake turned her head to see a big, white Jeep heading her way. She had to jump
back to dodge the corner of the vehicle as the brakes squealed into ‘park’.
Lake stood in shock from the close call as
her heart began to pound. She knew exactly who was driving before the girl
exited the Jeep along with three of her friends.
Ashley.
It
was hard for her to even say her name in her head.
“Oh, my gosh. I didn’t even see you,”
Ashley said sarcastically through her snickering.
Lake decided to take the golden
opportunity of being able to talk back. She didn’t get many chances.
“Oh, my gosh. Really? Maybe you need to
get glasses. Quick, how many fingers am I holding up?” Lake stuck up her middle
finger then heard muffled laughs.
Ashley scowled and spoke as loudly as she
could. “Sorry, I don’t speak trailer trash.”
That right there was how a lot of the
world saw Lake—just a piece of trash. Trailer
trash, to be exact.
VIDA'S REVIEW
I knew when we met Vincent, the playboy of a group of young
mafia soldiers that his story was going to be GREAT and Sarah did not
disappoint. I was hooked from the very first page with no signs of stopping!
Vincent is a man that gets what he wants, when he wants it and from his first
glimpse of Lake in her barely there dress he wanted her. Lake couldn't wait to
finish school so she could leave and not look back on a life where everything
wasn't as it seems. One kiss from Vincent rocked her world and with her father
owing debts she ended up staying in the one place she wanted to forget. VINCENT
will take you on a journey full of intrigue, and sensual wonders. These two
characters together, it’s demanding, it’s angry, there is a constant push-pull
between the two and the chemistry that they share is so primal, so intense, you
can’t look away from the pages. They have the kind of love that ignites you,
destroys you, and leaves you breathless all in the span of seconds. I love the
fact that we got such complex characters still left to explore in what is
shaping up to be a EXPLOSIVE series and I for one can't wait for the next
installment in this CHAOTIC world.
Hey! My name is Sarah Brianne and after living for twenty-two years the characters in my head told me enough was enough and I have finally put pen to paper (or is it finger to keyboard?) to tell their stories. Since I was a little girl I have watched every chick flick I could get my hands on, then when I became older I discovered a whole new world of romance novels. To me there is nothing better then a tale of true love and those are the stories that have inspired me to write. Like everything else in my life I have put my own spin on two lovers destined to be together.
Next to my books my prized possession are my two beautiful fur babies, Kalypso and Khaleesi. I know what you’re thinking, do you pack them in your purse? Yep, right next to my kindle.
