HE CAN'T STAY AWAY FROMShe's his best friend's little sister. The definition of hands off. Cash has
tried to ignore her for years. Those innocent eyes and her smile that screams
kiss-me-if-you-dare... Instead, he's looked at every pretty little thing who's
crossed his path, all to ignore the girl he seems destined to want. But when
his hard partying ways get old and everyone at school is interested in Nicola,
it's time to stake a claim. To make Nicola his girl, no matter the risks, and
hold the hand of the one he really loves.
Sweet
Girl is the novel length prequel to USA Today best-selling Garrison's Creed. Before Cash and Nicola can fall in love forever, they have to suffer through
their first love.
“You ready to go home?” Alone… Because he sure wasn’t. “Truck’s
around the corner, down the block.”
She didn’t say anything. It wasn’t a no.
Cash took her hand in his. He’d done it a million times for so long. Years of
touching and hugging on her, teasing and throwing her around, arm around her
shoulder, arm around her waist, a hand hold or an elbow grab. That had all
happened, but this was different.
He rubbed his thumb over the ridges of her
knuckles. He could tell she was holding her breath, and that was fine because
he wasn’t breathing either. He took one deep breath in and laced his fingers
with hers. Locked together.
Nicola’s fingers were delicate. With a
gentle tug, he started toward his truck, and she fell into step. The slightest
squeeze of her hand stole his heart. Cash focused on his truck. Figuring out
where to go and what to do was secondary because, if he stopped now, something
stupid would fall out of his mouth, like
come home with me.
“Cash.” She stopped, and he didn’t let go.
“Wait.”
“Just…”
Just what? Give me a chance? Go home with me? Let me kiss you? Touch you, taste
you? Just let us happen… Whatever that might be.
A shy smile teased her lips. “Why’d you ask
me to leave with you?”
His furrowed his brow. “What?”
“I’m not good at these things. I don’t know
what’s in front of me and what’s not. But I do know that you’re standing here.
And…”
“And?”
Her eyes sank shut, and she sighed, swayed.
A breeze swirled around them. “I like that.”
And God, I like you. He reeled her closer. Her softness pressed against him.
“Nicola, we—”
“Cash! Cash!” a couple of girls across the
street yelled. “We’re headed to TKX! You promised us shots!”
Bubble burst. Gone was the fuzzy look in
Nicola’s eyes. The moment dissolved into the night, completely ruined. Damn.
She was bright and aware. Her smile looked
painted. He wanted to throw his damn hat on the ground. “Nicola—”
Stepping back, she looked everywhere but at
him. “I think you’d better take me home.”
They were still connected at the hand, but
not interlaced anymore—locked together like the friends they were. She swung
her hand in his then let it drop.
Round one, lost to a gaggle of drunk chicks. He threw his arm around her
shoulder like it was any old night, and he hadn’t just held her hand, caressing
her knuckles with his thumb.Cristin Harber is a USA Today bestselling romantic suspense and military romance author.
