Nox sits by my side, holding his sleeping daughter tight. Quietly, he asks, “So, now what?”
I look over at the sleeping child on his chest, and my heart aches. I take a long pull of my beer then set it down on the table separating us. I take in the radiant sunset one last time before I respond.
Now what?
“I’m going home.”
Hi there,
Thank you for reading the second book in the Raw Family series.
I hope you enjoyed Dirty as much as I enjoyed writing it.
This book means a lot to me and took much longer to complete than originally planned. The simple fact is, I wanted to deliver what you – the reader – deserved rather than a rushed version of what could have been great.
So much of my blood, sweat and tears are right here, in this book.
I hope you loved Alejandra and Julius’ story and are looking forward to reading more about them in Raw: Rebirth, the end of the Raw Family series.
You’ll be happy to hear that Raw: Rebirth will conclude the story which began in Raw. Meaning… yes. This book will be about Twitch, Lexi and AJ.
Read on for a small teaser from Raw: Rebirth and a quick look at the cover.
Thanks for reading. If you would take the time to leave a review for Dirty, it would be much appreciated!
Love Belle x
AJ was a smart boy. He was only five years old but knew the value of a secret.
He didn't like keeping secrets from his mom and when he asked her if it was okay to lie, she told him that it was never okay to be dishonest.
It didn't make sense.
AJ had heard his mother lie before.
Why was she able to lie when he wasn't?
His mother explained that sometimes people told lies to stop another person from being hurt, that these were called 'little white lies'.
AJ thought about this.
His secret would hurt his mom, he'd been told, so it wasn't really a lie, he thought. Keeping his secret was more a 'little white lie'.As his mother tucked him in to bed, he smiled up at her. "I love you," he told her, and he meant it.
His mother's smile softened. "I love you more, honey," she responded quietly as she ran gentle fingers through his messy hair.
She blew him a kiss as she left his room, turning off the light and closing the door behind her.
AJ lay in his bed, awake and waiting.
He wasn't sure how long he waited but when he heard the window rattle then lift in excruciating slowness, he smiled excitedly.
His little white lie was here.
