The premise:
“Something is troubling Tabitha.”
Mia Gibson comes from a long line of romantic dupes, so when she receives a phone call about her teenage half-sister that begins this way, she knows the remedy:
1. Invite Tabitha to town.
2. Learn the identity of the smooth-talking male.
3. Grind his gonads into a dust finer than the sands of Hilton Head Island.
But Tabitha’s difficulties prove unexpectedly complex, and soon Mia is brushing up against a powerful local figure. A potentially dangerous figure she can’t hope to defeat without help.
Enter Jackson, if that’s even his real name, whom she meets under shady and…inconveniently intimate circumstances. When he offers his aid, can Mia truly trust a proven liar? Her heart whispers yes, but as peril draws near, if her heart errs—if the Gibson gullibility gene strikes again—this time the consequences could prove fatal.
The snippet:
“Do you want to kiss me?”
“More than anything,” he said.
“I’d like that, too,” she whispered. Her phone still hadn’t buzzed, so she had an excuse for what she intended.
She held her breath and let her eyelid drop as his head descended, only to have them fly open again when he bussed her on both cheeks and stepped back.
What? Were they European now?
But her indignation vanished at the sight of him. He stood with hands fisted at his sides, mute, lust-ridden, looking every bit as miserable as she felt. And she still had at least another four minutes on the clock.
