About BETTER WHEN HE’S
BAD:
New York
Times and USA Today bestselling
author Jay Crownover returns with a heart-stopping new series… Welcome to the
Point.
There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad .
. . meet Shane Baxter.
Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong
side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and
a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in
prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t
care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new
player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing
directly in his way.
Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough
choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others,
and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting
back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her
is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced.
Bax terrifies her, awakening feelings she never thought
she’d have for a guy like him. But it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize . . .
some boys are just better when they’re bad.
EXCERPT:
I let out the breath I was holding and took another step
closer to her. The water was splashing on the sleeve of my shirt as I reached
up to grab both of her cheeks in my palms. “Are you scared of me?”
It was the start of the questions I had asked her what felt
like a lifetime ago. Her answer didn’t change, but this time when she answered,
she was holding back a smile that made my heart hurt.
“Terrified, but I kind of like it now.”
“Do you trust me?” My voice broke. I had never really
trusted anyone but Race and now there was her and my brother and just all kinds
of new things making my life so much more complicated and undeniably fuller.
“With my life. I trust all the parts of you, Bax. You need
to know that.”
“You going to go to bed with me?” That made her outright
laugh and she reached up to curl her hands around my wrists.
“As often as I can and anyplace in between when the mood
strikes.” The rest of the blood racing around my system went solidly south.
I dropped my forehead so it was resting on hers and the
water from the showerhead was cascading down around us. I was making a mess,
but I didn’t care because I had her, and she was my home. “Do you love me?”
The words sounded so foreign, but so right, when I was
saying them to her. She brushed her full lips across mine and the last three
months without her faded away.
“Do you want me to lie to you or tell you the truth?”
I smiled against her mouth and kissed her back twice as hard
as she had kissed me. “Lie to me.”
She reached up and put her arms around my neck and took a
step back, dragging me all the way into the shower stall with her. The water
was lukewarm at best, and it made me shiver. So did the fact that she started
to impatiently pull the tail of my shirt up over my head. A task made
increasingly difficult considering I was now soaked head to toe and the material
was clinging to me.
“Of course not. You’re the last person in the world I could
love.”
