I can make it by myself. The only rules I follow are my own. Love? I learned that lesson the hard and painful way it wasn’t right for me. Sure, sometimes it gets lonely and I wish I had a man to hold. Who’d love me. Want me. Treat me with respect. Yeah, I dance in a club but that doesn’t mean I’m easy. Or a fool. So you, sitting in the back, watching me? I know what you want. You want me. In your bed. Under you. But I say no. It doesn’t matter how many presents you give me. I’m not falling for you. I know who you are. But you don’t know me. You don’t know Austin. This is a 14,000 word CLIFFHANGER story. It is a start to a new series, entitled Man Up. The next book in the series is Rhoades—Undeniable

Until I see him in the spotlight and everything changes. Night after night, I watch him dance. Thinking about him. What he’d feel like. What he’d taste like. And now that I know, I want him even more. And maybe…just maybe, he might want me too. But not yet. Not before he knows he’s more than a pretty face. Not before he knows what he means to me. I need him by my side. The two of us. Together. Austin Why can’t I forget him? His hands touching me. His mouth on mine. Kissing me. Rendering me mindless. Breathless. Every night I lay awake burning for him. Dreaming. Thinking. Needing him. No—I don’t. I don’t need anyone. I lie. I want him. I want more. I am more. He’s seen that, and now here I stand with my dream on the horizon. All I need to do is take that first step. Trust him. Trust myself. Rhoades begins immediately where Austin, Book one, left off
