Complicated: A Tainted Love Novella (16 page)

“Get her a doctor or something,” she commands, half-heartedly before stepping past me and stopping.

The last thing I hear before darkness takes me away is her screeching, “She’s getting blood on my marble floors!”

And I fucking smile.

Stay tuned for the conclusion to Marshall and Rachel’s story in

took a village; a village of people who, if not for them, this book would not have been what it was.

Thank you to my husband for telling me all I needed to know about Seido karate – all the terms, the black belt degrees and especially, for showing me your moves. Next time, use that black belt on me, Chris. Hehehehe!

Thank you to my beta readers – Raj and Jeanette – who tilted this book on its axis and made me dig even deeper to kill this story! Without both of your input, this story would have been mediocre at best. Thank you for helping me to tell Marshall and Rachel’s story adequately.

To my editor, Charlie, I almost lost you there, didn’t I? Thank God for your keen eye (and that your eyes got fixed to be even keener)! Thank you for providing those finishing touches and making those corrections that I missed. What would I have done without your British ass? Love you, old man! I can just hear you saying: “Oy, you!” with that old man thing. Hahahaha!

To the ladies of the Sainthood,
Geezy’s Sinfull Saints
: thank you for always supporting me! Thank you for seeing something in me that is worth pimping, encouraging and sticking it out with. I’m glad I can bounce ideas off of you guys and that you never steer me wrong. I owe y’all a puppy or some shit. LOL!

To the ladies over at ByoB (Bring your own Book Club): I love y’all so damn much! You guys provided me with such laughter and such beautiful distraction! When I was going crazy, you guys helped to ground me and I just want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. Can’t believe y’all love my crazy ass; but the feeling is mutual since I love your crazy asses too! More than friends…we’re family.

To everyone over at HOT BBR: you have made a second home for me! Thank you for allowing me to let my special brand of craziness loose every once in a while. I am forever grateful to you guys for the love and support I have received. Look out for my next
Daily Question!

To Angela: thank you for being my friend. When I needed to unload, there you were. When I needed a smile, there you were. When I needed to run something by you, there you were. I just hope I can be there for you as much as you were there for me. To Eva, honey, you were never far from my mind. You and Angela are truly my soul sistas!

To Melissa: thank you for putting up with all the Amazon/KDP craziness and for always being in my corner. Fren ‘til di en’, mi gyal!

To my crazy Latina, Angelique, for always keeping me on the lookout for books and for always making me laugh my ass off. STAAHHHPP!! Lol!!!

To Lizzie, Ramona, Melissa Ann, Lucia S. Avila and Lynessa James: God placed you chicks in my life for a reason and I thank God that I have each of you to lean on when I need you. I’m glad I can be a listening ear for you guysas well…you kept me human

Huge thanks to Claire from
This Girl Loves Books
for setting up the blog tour! I think Lady Luck was on my side and she led me to you by way of Kristi Lynn and Helen Cameron. Thank God K-Lynn and Hells Bells loves me. Lol!!! Thank you also to all the blogs who participated in the blog tour and to those who left a review. We authors would be nothing without your word!

To Kari Nappi…every day my love and respect for you grows. It’s not every day you meet someone with which you just automatically click. Not every day you meet someone who tries their best to assist you in whatever way they can without asking for so much as a dime. I thank God every single day that I met you when I did. Fate brought us together and, as a result, we are forever bonded. Thank you for all you did with this cover…such a story you told with it! Thank you for all you did to put together my cover reveal party and review tour. Thank you for all you’re gonna do with the release day party. Thank you in advance for everything else you will do for me. Thank you for keeping it real, and for keeping me honest. Thank you for being there for me. You are special and precious to me, Kare-bear, which is why we will always be lovers
.


Finally, thank you to…YOU! If not for you, readers and fans, this story would not have come to fruition. Thank you for enjoying what I write and for always demanding more. I do this for you as much as myself and I hope to never disappoint you. I hope you loved this story as it is told and that these characters will ever remain with you…and that you will have found a new book hubby in Marshall. Hehehehe!

If I have forgotten anyone, please forgive me. I’m writing this and I’m falling asleep, so please don’t hold it against me. To everyone I have chatted with while writing
Complicated
, to those I befriended, to those who became fans, to those who just find me weird…Y’all are all fuckin’ awesome!

Luke & Lydia’s Story (from
South Row: A Comedic Romance
)

Luke

My mom left my Dad and me when I was 15, saying that we were “holding her back”; around the same time my girlfriend of two years, Penny, moved away because her Mom got a promotion in San Francisco. She didn’t even tell me that shit. She knew I loved her more than life itself and she didn’t even tell me. Women are selfish bitches, and ever since I learned that lesson, I haven’t let any of them close enough to leave me again.

Moving to San Francisco with my best friend Collin was not just for job-related purposes. I wanted to see Penny again. All those years and I still missed her, still loved her. But what I found when I got here was women, women and more women. And God, do I love the women! God’s greatest creation since condoms and paternity tests. Am I right, guys?

Little did I know that I would also find THE woman. She’s crazy and, hell, is she beautiful! She’s my crazy fucking Amazon and if anyone tries to take her from me, it won’t be pretty. I’ve been hit over the head with a baseball bat called love and there’s no turning back. The guys are gonna have a damn field day with this shit. Fuck me.
 

Lydia

My ex-fiancé is a rich, douchebag fag. No, really, he’s a fag. I caught him getting it real good by a buff dude in OUR bed. I couldn’t get the image burned out of my head fast enough as I high-tailed it out of there and into the arms of my best friends. The high life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be with all its secrets and lack of love. That’s what it was between James and I and I won’t do it anymore…not until I find someone worth of my heart and my…um, other intimate parts.

I’ve been celibate for the past two years and doing well in my quasi-virgin, man-hating existence, until…boom! I saw him and it was over. Love at first sight doesn’t happen to me, but shit if my heart isn’t caving to Luke Somerville. He’s the one. My destiny; and if I have to fight, maim and behead every bitch who thinks they have a right to him, then I will. Sluts, be warned.

What happens when a nun seeks refuge in a Motorcycle Club? What happens when she becomes the charge of the Sergeant-at-arms?

Love Speaks

Abortion should never be an easy decision for any woman to make and, as a result, she may face a myriad of emotional consequences. The topic of abortion in this novel was tied closely to the issue of teenage pregnancy which affects about 16 million females between the ages of 15 and 19, according the World Health Organization. Before abortion is considered, make sure you are aware of all other options out there.

Probably the most important thing you can do when facing an unplanned pregnancy is to communicate with trained professionals who can answer your questions and discuss your individual circumstances with you. A termination of pregnancy is not always the best course of action.

To prevent an unplanned pregnancy, it is best to use contraceptives. There are a myriad of choices at ones disposal as it regards family planning and contraception – which is not just for the prevention of pregnancy but also to guard against Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

Sex is a big responsibility that should not be engaged in lightly and, as a result, is not designed for teenagers who might be unable to handle the consequences of early sexual involvement. Abstinence is the best method of contraception and the most responsible decision any teen can make.

Responsibility is more important than a good time.
