Time Served

Dean Barclay had  nothing to do with my decision to flee my old life, but he is 100  percent of the reason I vowed to never look back.

I’ve never  forgotten how it felt to follow Dean—dangerous, daring, determined—away  from the crowd and climb into his beat-up old Trans Am. I was sixteen  and gloriously alive for the first time. When I felt his hand cover my  leg and move upward, it was over. I was his. Forever.

Until I left. Him, my mom, and the trailer park. Without so much as a goodbye.

Now  Dean’s back, crashing uninvited into my carefully cultivated, neat  little lawyerly life. Eight years behind bars have turned him rougher  and bigger—and more sexually demanding than any man I’ve ever met. I  can’t deny him anything…and that just might end up costing me  everything.
