SYNOPSIS:
The V Card. Virgin. Most of us want to punch that sucker asap, and hide the fact until then, but not Cassie Hale. Three years ago she frickin' covered hers in glitter and laminated the thing, proudly telling me that she's waiting for the perfect guy.
So when I see her half naked, tangled together, rolling around on the floor with another stripper, I'm kind of shocked. Okay, that's an understatement. I'm enthralled. I have to know what cracked her picture perfect world and landed her here, and I hope it's something horrible – an event that broke her the way she broke me. Because that's who Cassie Hale is – the woman who stole my heart and crushed it in her hand.
And H.M. Ward is also giving away a fabulous gift on this fabulous release day!

EXCERPT:
CASSIE
As I climb the steps up the
side of the stage and head to the silvery tinsel curtain, I call back to Beth.
“Who is this party for again? And why is he the shit? I must have missed the
memo.”
She laughs as she’s
examining one of the lights within the glass table. It looks like fire, but it
can’t be since it’s pink. She looks up at me. “Dr. Peter Granz, and he’s the
shit because he’s a Ferro. Hence the swank party.” Beth looks up when I don’t
answer.
I rush at Beth, nearly
knocking her over. My jaw is hanging open as worry darts across my face faster
than I can contain it. “Ferro?”
“Yeah, why?”
I’m in melt down mode. “I
can’t be here.” I glance around the room and look at the door longingly. Before
I make up my mind to run, I hear male voices approaching. Fuck! My heart pounds
faster in my chest. If he’s here, if Jonathan sees me—the thought cuts off
before it finishes.
I’m ready to bounce out the
window when Beth grabs my wrist and hauls me to the front of the room. She
shoves me behind the curtain and hisses in my ear, “If you freak out now,
Gretchen will steal your job. Snap out of it. Whoever this guy is, he isn’t
worth it.”
The tinsel curtain in front
of me flutters, but it conceals both of us for the moment. The male voices grow
louder until the door is yanked open. The curtain rustles and I’m in full
freak-out mode. He can’t be here. He can’t see me like this. At the same time,
Beth’s right. I can’t skip out. Bruce will run me over with the van and there’s
no way in hell they’ll ever give me another cent.
I stand there, frozen,
unable to think. Every muscle in my body is strained, ready to run, but I don’t
move. My bare feet remain glued to the floor as I smash my lips together.
Then, I hear
it—that voice. It floats through the air like a familiar old song. Oh God,
someone shoot me. I can’t do this.
