You first met Carla Babes in Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland’s smash hit COCKY BASTARD, now it’s time for her story… The night was the same as any other. Pour a drink, lend an ear, wipe down the bar, repeat. Then he drunkenly stumbles through the door, a wicked glint in his eye and a smirk that screams trouble. Jameson Mills has the world at his feet as he takes Hollywood by storm, one accolade after another. But tonight, in the tiny Temecula bar I work, all he wants isa bottle of whiskey and a pretty distraction. Instead, he finds me, Carla Michaels. A woman who hates everything he stands for. He thinks he can win me over. Charm me with his sexy good looks and cocky attitude. He is wrong. I want no part of him or the materialistic publicity machine that runs his life. I can’t. My secret won’t allow it.
