Christina
Lee’s newest addition to the
Between Breaths Series is LIVE!
Meet
Cory & Jude in this M/M standalone romance!
NOW
AVAILABLE!
From the author of All of You and Before You Break comes a new Between Breaths male/male romance
about the silent, inked up skateboarder and the tattoo artist who unravels him
piece by piece...
Tattoo artist Cory Easton has worked long
enough at Raw Ink to know, just by looking at a dude, what his body art
reveals, what makes him tick, what even makes him scared. Until he meets the
quiet and remote Jude York--so unreadable, so unreachable, and so unlike anyone
else, he can't help but arouse Cory's curiosity.
As captivating and complex as his ink,
Jude is a mystery--and Cory's falling fast and hard under his spell. Against
his better judgment to steer clear.
The rumors of Jude's past overshadow him--whispers
of prison and an unmentionable secret that's kept him in the protective shadows
of a local motorcycle club. As Cory probes deeper, he wonders how much he
really wants to know. Especially since Jude has awakened something inside him
that has been buried too long--and has him feeling completely alive for the
first time in forever...
Includes a preview of
Christina Lee's upcoming adult romance Two
of Hearts.
EXCERPT
Chopper, get your ass back here!”
While he was distracted, I silently moved
toward him, hoping to grab hold of that leash. But just as I approached, he
took off again, following that same squirrel who’d taken a leap to the next
large maple.
I was out of breath and now beyond
frustrated. I shoved my hand in my hoodie, my fingers closing on a sturdy dog
cookie.
When I looked up again, Chopper was
headed straight for the skate park. Shit.
“Chopper, goddamn it,” I called in some
last-ditch effort. “You don’t listen for shit.”
Unexpectedly, Jude York neared the cement
barrier at the entrance to the bowl. His board clenched in his fist, he seemed
to be assessing the situation as the large dog charged nearer.
He left his skateboard on the concrete
walkway and stepped into the lawn. He squatted down in the grass, made eye
contact with Chopper, and the dog changed course to sail directly toward him.
What the hell was that about?
Some type of deep whistle emitted from
Jude’s lips and instead of slamming into his chest, Chopper came to a sudden
halt beside him. Like Jude was a damn dog whisperer or something. His strong
fingers grabbed hold of his collar and he reached down to mutter something in
the dog’s ear. Chopper sat down in the grass. Actually fucking sat down—I had
never been able to get him to do that.
I became motionless as I watched them,
even though Ace was eager to inch closer. At least one animal heeded my
command. I wondered what it was about Jude that compelled Chopper to run toward
him. I mean, I got the appeal, so maybe it was just pure animal instinct.
The muscles in Jude’s forearm flexed as
he stroked Chopper’s head and the dog’s tongue hung out in a happy pant. The
little fucker.
As I walked closer to Chopper, Jude’s
eyes lifted to mine. And for the first time I saw an array of other emotions
alight in them. The most blatant being amusement, as if his irises contained a
flicker of light. His lips tilted at the corners in an almost imperceptible
smile and he looked so dazzling right then. As he held my gaze for the first
time ever, something tightened like a fist inside my chest.
Shit, he was stunning. In that exotic
kind of way. His hair was a mass of short blond dreadlocks, his skin inked
mainly in black, and his eyes were the most gorgeous light green I’d ever
seen—almost like cellophane. And now those same eyes locked on mine and held
steady.
