CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Excerpt
When I open my front door, I’m not surprised to see her in jeans. She thinks the extra clothing will deter me.
“Welcome to my not-so-humble abode.”
“This house is way too big for one person,” she says as she turns her back to me so I can take her coat.
I slip the coat off and hang it up in the coat closet as she glances around the foyer at the marble floors, the sweeping curved staircase, and the enormous industrial era chandelier.
“You want something to drink,” I ask as I take a few steps toward the kitchen, hoping she’ll follow me instead of standing there with her mouth agape.
“The only thing that’s missing in here is a ten-foot-tall self-portrait.”
“That’s in the study.”
She turns to me and purses her lips. “Exactly how rich are you?”
“I’m not rich. I’m wealthy.”
She sighs as she follows me into the kitchen. I open the refrigerator and pull out a bottle of water. When I turn around to hand it to her, she’s too busy admiring the glossy white cabinets to notice. I press the cold bottle against the back of her neck and she gasps as she steps aside.
“You bastard!” she cries. I chuckle as I hold the bottle out to her and she waits a moment before she takes it. “You’re a child. How the hell are you able to live here by yourself without setting the house on fire?”
“Baby, this house has been set on fire multiple times.”
“Ugh. You are such a player,” she groans, holding her hands out as I approach her. “Don’t touch me.”
“That won’t last long.”
“Are we talking about your erection?”
I chuckle as her hands press against my chest. “Your humor only turns me on even more.”
She pushes me hard and quickly scoots sideways to get away from me. “We need to talk,” she says as she scurries around the kitchen island and takes a seat at the breakfast bar with her bottle of water. “I’m scared shitless.”
“I can help you with that.”
“With what?” she whispers breathlessly as I stand behind the barstool and brush her ponytail aside.
“All of it. If you want to talk, we’ll talk.” I kiss the back of her neck and the plastic water bottle in her handle crackles as she tightens her grip.

*************
We already get a taste of Senia & Tristan throughout the Shattered Heart series but to be up close and personal with then is so much better. Senia seems to be a mess when her and Tristan hook up and she certainly is going to be one of his quickies that he tosses aside. Yeah she had a quickie with him but she was the one to leave him first. Tristan has a horrible past that comes out throughout the book and it's a truly is horrible beyond belief. I am not sure if Tristan really loves Senia or if he is doing it for his Grandma but his true feels become clear even to him after a turn of events. Tragedy strikes and I'm afraid where it will leave these two once the dust settles . A few hot steamy sex scenes. We get a lot of info on the rest of the couples in the band. Fabulous Ending.
You don't have to have read this series to enjoy Abandon
