Synopsis
Behind every beautiful thing, there is some kind of
pain...
Always overlooked. Always just there. That's what Dillon was to me.
Until one night.
In one night she flipped my world on its axis and there's no going back. But she has secrets, and secrets fester like an open wound. They color the past and forecast the future, but I'm determined to open her up; free her from her memories so she can live in the light and have the life she deserves.
It's just too bad that she wants nothing to do with me. But I'm nothing if not persistent and I'm not a man that gives up without a fight. I've had a taste and there's no walking away.
I just have to convince her that I'm not what she fears, I'm what she wants.
Slade, like Wild and Ridge, is a standalone.
Reading Wild and Ridge first will provide some back story, but is not required to read Slade.

Excerpt
“I guess I should have talked to you about…the other weekend.
I get the sense that you wanted to do those things to me. Fair
assumption?”
Fair.” I nodded, afraid of the next words to come out of her
mouth.
“Well,
I’m not sure I’m into that. It looks pretty fucking terrifying.”
“It’s all about trust. I’ll never take you farther than you
want to go.”
She huffed and averted her hardened gaze. “I have issues with
that.”
“No shit.” I mumbled. Her eyes cut to mine. “I read you like
a book, Dillon. You think I didn’t realize that you have trust issues when you
can't even look me in the eye when I’m inside you?” I ran a lock of her
champagne hair between my callused fingers.
She scrunched her nose and looked out to white-capped waves
crashing against grey stone.
“I want to earn your trust.” I took a step
closer.
“Who says I want you to? I never asked you to. We were just
messing around, Slade. If you hadn’t noticed, I mess around with a lot of
people.”
Red flames licked my vision. My fists clenched at my sides
and every muscle in my body went rigid. “You still fucking around with other
people?”
“If I was?”
“Fuck, Dillon. I haven’t been with anyone since we
started–”
“Started what? Started fucking? I’m just
the town slut. Down for a fun time, nothing more. Surprised one of your buddies
didn't warn you not to get involved with me.”
“Oh, they did.” I grumbled, thinking back on Wild's warning
not to get wrapped up in Dillon. Too little, too late. That ship had
sailed.
She arched full eyebrows at me, gnawed her lips between her
teeth until they turned winter white while anger flared in her indignant eyes.
“Don’t fucking come back to my house, Slade. Don’t fucking do it. From the
beginning you've acted like you have some sort of macho bullshit claim on me,
why is that?” She nailed me with her pointer finger.
“Because you’re mine.”
