EXCERPT I reach my locker and just start unlocking it when Kyle stops beside me. He’s dressed comfortably in faded jeans and a black t-shirt with a yellow Batman logo on it. I smile broadly. “Hey.” It’s hard to describe just how good I feel, seeing him there. Yet I don’t miss the stunned expressions on Amber and Stacy’s faces, or how they spin towards each other to whisper something. In Amber’s world, Kyle is a loser, so I’m sure their words aren’t pleasant. I turn my back to them. “Hey,” he replies. He keeps his eyes purposefully away from the other girls. So he knows, I think.

The muscles are thick and hard-looking near his shoulders. They curve down, dip into a little valley, and then climb once… Read more »
TOUR SIGN UP: Losing Francesca by JA Huss
Sign up for the reveal through Xpresso Tours here. SNEAK PEEK EXCERPT “You OK?” Brody asks. I nod as I remember to inhale. “Yeah, but I’m not sure what to do with you now that you’re here.” He grins so wide I have to laugh. His hand comes up to my mouth and covers my lips as he bends down to whisper in my ear. “Shhh, quiet now, you’re gonna get me busted.” And then he takes my hand and leads me over to the bed, because that’s the only place in the room to sit, besides the desk chair, and he doesn’t look interested in sitting in that old wooden thing and neither am I. I figure if you invite a boy into your room in the middle of the night, you should at the very least let him sit next to you. He pulls me to the… Read more »
