Only for Us (10 page)

This is all higher class than Pops, but still, it’s an in-my-face reminder of how I grew up. I run my hands over my face and into my hair. I want this job badly, and I’m only at a strip club on a random Wednesday night because it means I could bring in a stable income. That’s reason enough that I kissed Emma goodbye this morning and told her I’d be back tomorrow.

All day long, we briefed on who Titan thought the runners were and how they were connected. The intel was good, but it had holes that only real life interactions could fill. Delta team is hungry for action, and I have a sense that this job is personal for one of them, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Still, I yank at my collar and say thanks when the waitress arrives with the VIP bottle service, placing top-shelf bourbon and vodka within reach. An announcer’s salesman voice bleeds through the music. There’s the promise of dream-come-true bullshit, like any of these girls would walk off stage and into a guy’s lap. The music shifts, blending with it a drumroll beat. The announcer starts in again.
Blah, blah, blah.
It’s the main feature. The busiest night of the week for the best Emerald’s has to offer. I take a sip of the bourbon, wondering how slowly this night will pass.

The announcer’s baritone echoes as my eyes fall on stage to the prettiest, sweetest girl I’ve ever known. “Welcome to the stage, Ginger Raine!”

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thank you, readers! The Only series is a new adventure for me. The overwhelming support I’ve received has been amazing. I felt this story deep in my soul and couldn’t let go of the characters. They’ve pushed me to write differently, to explore new ways of storytelling, and for that I’m forever grateful.

Thank you and huge tackle hugs to Team Titan. Each day you make me laugh and smile. I love your support and willingness to try something new. You will never know how much your messages, posts, tweets, shares, and reviews means to me.

Each day I get to work with amazing authors whose opinions I cannot live without. Thank you for your advice, your time, and your considerable strength: JB Salsbury, Racquel Reck, Claudia Connor, and Sharon Kay. I am forever a friend and in awe of each of you.

Another huge thank you to the team that makes my dreams come true. Thank you to Julia Sutherland for your heart and your time, to Red Adept for editing and proofing, to Okay Creations and Sarah Hansen for creating a cover that is brilliantly beautiful, and to Inkslinger PR—KP Simmon, Tara Gonzalez, and Amber Noffke—for the creative energy that you ignite.

Finally, thank you to my family who supports me without hesitation.
