From the First Kiss #1 (Lauren Carlton series): Novelette

I’m nothing like other women. I don’t let myself get down about my body. I don’t wait around to be courted. And I have twice the number of heart breaks to carry.

Being open in love is a little bit like carrying a loaded gun. There is always the risk of it going off no matter how safe you are.

But then Brian came into the picture. He’s Lucas Wolfe’s gorgeous and muscular bodyguard. I noticed him from the moment he dropped off Jayme. His eyes locked onto me as though he were the gun and I was the target. And lord knows that I am ready for a change of pace.

This is the first installment in the Lauren Carlton series.
