Selling Out (The Lost Girls 2) <— just released!
Remember that book I read last year that I really liked, called Giving It Up? It had a dark and somber tone to it, ’cause the heroine had a specific (and possibly dangerous) need and ventured out at night in search for it? And then one night she met an angry-looking guy… and well. Let’s just say that I couldn’t put it down once I read his reaction to her. I read it with a heavy heart, (’cause of her) but at one point my heart totally broke, for him (check out my review here). I will never forget Allie and Colin.
And guess what?! The author just released a second book in that series (another “lost girl’s” life), and I’m excited to read this one, too! The author told me…
“It’s the story of Shelly, who was Allie’s friend and a high-class prostitute, and Detective Luke Cameron. A modern-day star-crossed lovers story :)”
Check out the synopsis, book trailer and excerpt below:
Shelly Laurent escapes her life as a high-class escort, but against her better judgment she takes the scared young Ella with her. In retaliation, her pimp and his dirty cops frame them both for murder. On the run, Shelly turns to the one man who could be her salvation: Detective Luke Cameron. She doesn’t know if she can trust him or if he’s just a mirage, but she needs his help to free them all.
With a heart forged in fire and irreverence born of necessity, Shelly fights Ella’s demons–and faces her own. She throws light on the shadows of Chicago’s underworld, challenging everything she knew and the man she’s come to love. Together, a prostitute and a cop fight for truth stronger than secrets, hope deeper than deception, and a bond more enduring than betrayal.
