Title: TRAGIC (Rook and Ronin)
Author: JA Huss
Release Date: May 15, 2013
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
~ Synopsis ~
Rook Walsh is TRAGIC
Because life so far – just sucks. Some girls get parents. Rook got the foster care system. Some girls get Prince Charming. Rook got an abusive frog. Some girls get lucky…
Rook got a second chance.
And she took it. Because when fate throws you a bone – you grab it with both hands and run.
Antoine Chaput knows the minute he spies Rook in his photography studio that she’s got The Look. The dark and desperate look he must have to land the exclusive TRAGIC media contract.
Rook is paired up with top model, Ronin, and he’s everything her abusive ex-boyfriend wasn’t. Patient, gentle, happy, attentive, and sexy! He knows exactly what to do to make Rook blush for Antoine’s camera.
Rook’s luck changes in an instant and suddenly she’s the darling of the modeling world. It’s a dream job to go with a dream guy and all she has to do is look pretty and follow directions. But there’s always a price to pay – and Rook is about to get the bill.
~ Excerpt ~
“Relax, Gidge. I’ve got you.”
I do, I relax and he pushes my pelvis against his groin. I look up quickly and he’s almost laughing at me. The shutter is still clicking away as Antoine moves around us. He speaks to Ronin, but it’s all in French, so I have no idea what he’s saying and Ronin doesn’t reply or translate for me. His attention is one hundred percent on my face, watching everything I do, searching my eyes for questions, his hands still hovering just at the edge of sexy as they caress my hips, then move down a few inches and return.
It’s not so bad really.
Shit, who the hell am I kidding? Ronin Flynn’s hands on my ass feel spectacular. I grin up at him and he smiles.
“Good, now let’s move on to the next shot, OK?”
“What’s—”
I stop mid-sentence because his mouth is nuzzling into my neck, his breath hot as it sweeps up into my ear, making me shudder and let out a little moan. “You OK?”
“Mmmmhmmmm,” is all I can manage, because a chill rockets down my spine and my head involuntarily tips back and gives him permission to suck on my neck.
Holy shit.
He pulls back for a moment, just long enough to say, “Touch me, Rook,” and then his mouth is back on my neck. He takes my left hand, which has a firm grasp on one of his belt loops, a safe move if ever there was one, and flattens my palm against his waist. I move the other hand in a feeble attempt to be an active participant instead of a dead fish who only reacts.
“More of that and we can put this scene to rest.”
I take a deep breath and slip my hand under his t-shirt and then we both let a little gasp together as the chills travel up his body now. Antoine is talking in French again and Ronin leans down and takes my mouth.
It’s a soft kiss at first, but as soon as I open up for his tongue his hands go behind my neck and it turns into something way beyond soft. He crushes my mouth with his, drawing in a breath that says he’s absolutely turned on. This excites me and I kiss him back with just as much force, our tongues probing and twisting, our breath coming in gasps and long draws, like there is not enough air in the world to fuel this kiss. His hands are all over my body now, one still grasping the back of my neck to keep me close to him, the other, the one not on the side where Antoine is clicking away at the camera, slips under my skirt and travels up my thigh.
