Teach Me Like That (LMLT Book 2) (32 page)
Life was hard for Aviana as she struggled daily to just stay afloat. Just when she thought life couldn’t get more difficult, she’s snatched away from her home as retribution for someone else’s mistakes.
Underworlds, debts, and an obsession for justice could change everything for them both. BT may rescue the girl he tracked into the dark recesses of Las Vegas, but will she ever be the same? Or will BT become so deeply involved in SIN, that he becomes the one needing to be rescued?
Khloe When Khloe Devaro’s best friend and fiancé is lost to the war in Iraq, she’s beyond distraught. Her intentions of joining him in the afterlife are thwarted by a Cerberus Motorcycle club member. Too young to do anything on her own, the only alternative she has now is to take Kid up on his offer to stay at the MC Clubhouse. As if that’s not a disaster waiting to happen, but anything is better than returning to the foster home she’s been forced to live in the last three years.
"Kid" Dustin “Kid” Andrews spent four years as a Marine; training, fighting, and learning how to survive the most horrendous of conditions. He never imagined that holding a BBQ fundraiser for a local fallen soldier would end up as the catalyst that turns his world upside down. Resisting his attraction for a girl he’s not even certain is of legal age was easy, until he’s forced to intervene when her intentions become clear. All his training is wasted as far as he’s concerned, since none of that will help him when it comes to Khloe.
Will the self-proclaimed man-whore sleep with a woman in every country he visits as planned, or will the beautiful, yet feisty girl living down the hall throw a wrench in his plan?
Morrison “Shadow” Griggs, VP of the Cerberus MC, is a force to be reckoned with. Women fall at his feet, willing to do almost anything for a night with him.
Misty Bowen is the exception. She’s young and impressionable, but with her religious upbringing, she’s able to resist Shadow’s advances… for a while at least.
Never one to look back on past conquests, Shadow is surprised that he’s intrigued by Misty, which only grows more when she seems to be done with him without a word.
Being ghosted by a twenty-one-year-old is not the norm where he’s concerned, and the rejection doesn’t sit right with him.
Life goes on, however, until Misty shows up on the doorstep of the Cerberus MC clubhouse with a surprise that rocks his entire world off of its axis.
With only the clothes on her back and the consequences of her lies and deceit, Misty needs help now more than she ever has. Alone in the world and desperate for help, she turns to the one man she thought she’d never see again.
Shadow would never turn his back on a woman in need, but his inability to forgive has always been his main character flaw. Unintended circumstances have cast Misty into his life, but will he have the ability to keep his distance when her situation necessitates a closeness he’s never dreamed of having with a woman?

Louisiana-born – Tennessee-raised, sweet talking country boy Matthew Hosea is now the new panty-melting heartthrob model of the Author World. He steals many hearts with his sexy voice and muscular body. Matthew spends his days staying extremely busy between being Active Duty Navy, a Nutrition Sales Representative, and a part-time Bouncer at the local bar. Not to mention the two-a-day gym visits. He has no time for women to take permanent residence in his life. The last thing he needs on top of such a crazy ass schedule is drama.
Leia Walker has had nothing but a troubled chaotic life. Sometimes it’s hard for her to stick to reality when fantasy is much more pleasurable. Besides, it’s easier to control. Temptation is hard for Leia to fight; it’s constantly dangling right in front of her. She spends her time hanging out in the shadows waiting for the perfect man; her eyes are set on Matthew Hosea, the new, inked model taking the world by storm. The connection she feels is undeniable. Matthew’s the perfect man for her; he just doesn’t know it yet.
It’s a dangerous and wild game that’s being played. What will Leia do to get what she wants? Just how far is she willing to go?
Just so you know, this book wasn’t supposed to exist. Love Me Like That, in my mind was a standalone, but the insistence of fans (and outrageous demands from my PA Brittney Crabtree) forced me into action. I hope you enjoyed Book 2 in the LMLT series, apparently… according to my writing schedule there will be two more…
As always I have to thank my BETA team… Brittney, Laura, Brenda, Diane, Shannon, Tammy, Sadie, and Jessica for going through this book, not only looking for errors but keeping me in line when I stray off course!!
Super shout out to Brittney and Laura for all of their help behind the scenes! I wouldn’t get anywhere without these fabulous ladies!!
My lovely husband JA Essen (Mr. Marie James) did an awesome job on the cover and kept me sane with tons of moral support, all while acting as a sounding board for my plot. Thank you, babe!
Give Me Books, once again has blown me away with their promo services!! Thank you ladies!! You ROCK!!
Jim Cauthen did the photo shoot for this cover and the amazing teasers and I couldn’t be happier with the interactions I’ve had with him! Come home safe, soldier.
Readers!! You are AMAZING! Thank you so much for the support. I cannot even believe how blessed I have been!!
Last, but never least, Justin James Cadwell!! You, Mr. Handsome Cover model are the epitome of class and professionalism. Hell, if Brittney had her way you’d be on every cover, and if I could find a way to make it work… I promise you’d be it!! Thank you so much for another fabulous shoot (the videos of you getting wet weren’t too shabby either!)
