PIECING TOGETHER SYDNEY
(A Sydney West Novel #3)
This year’s annual voyage to Malibu will be unlike any other… Sydney West is no longer a party girl looking for summer boys to occupy her nights. She has found love with Jason King and agreed to marry him. With wedding plans in full swing for the July deadline, everything seems to be perfect.
Until someone from Jason’s past interrupts their summer getaway…
When Jason turns cold and distant, the party scene beckons Sydney to return to her old drink-all-night ways. Only this time the guys at the bar don’t hold her attention, but when Sydney’s drink is drugged by a so-called friend—she kisses one of them. When Jason finds out, he leaves the beach house to clear his head, but a couple hours quickly turn into days.
It’s hard to have a wedding without the groom…
This summer is nothing like what Sydney had planned, and for the first time she’s afraid of the future. Sydney finally figured out what she wants and she isn’t willing to let Jason go without a fight. But is it already too late? Sydney will risk everything to…
piece herself, and the life she wants, back together again.

I stared down at my ring, watching it shine in the sun. The
diamond captured the light perfectly, turning it into a rainbow of color. For
the rest of my life I’d wear a ring on my left hand. Forever Jason was going to
own my heart. He was a better keeper than I. My heart surrendered to a cage of
ice when it was in my possession. With Jason it was warm and cared for.

Someone cleared their throat a few feet in front of me. I
looked up and found Jason giving me one of his signature grins. That smile made

“Hey, Syd. Admiring your awesome rock, I see?” He chuckled,

A blush burnt my cheeks. “Maybe. My phone’s dead, so I’m

He shook his head. “I told you last night you should plug

I flipped my hair over my shoulder. “Because I would’ve

“Not if I unplugged it and put it in your bag before I left

A shy smile tugged my lips upward. “Yeah, I know.” I leaned
forward and kissed him. He tasted like mint and coffee. I wanted to drink him
in and let everything else go. His teeth grazed my bottom lip, sending a coil
of need through my core.

Excerpt 2:
Jason put his fingers to my lips, killing my words. “Just
don’t scream…”

His mouth was on my collarbone, moving lower. His other hand
was at my back, trying to undo my bra as his left continued to rub me down
south.

I had to bite my lip to keep quiet. He tore off my shirt and
unhooked my bra. His shirt peeled off, and we were chest to chest. I straddled
him, rubbing myself on his member, awaking it.

Jason’s eyes rolled back. I sealed my lips to his to keep us
both from moaning. His fingers found their way to my breasts, rolling my
nipples into hard pebbles, making the ache within me grow into a raging fire.

I unbuttoned his jean shorts and moved his zipper down. To
remove his shorts, I had to move off of him and pull them all the way down. A
smile came to my lips when I found he was wearing Scooby-Doo boxers.

“How cute. I knew these would look good on you.” I had

A wicked grin took his lips. “Baby, I wore them just for

I bent down and received a condom from his jeans’ pocket.
Our eyes locked as I bit it open and removed the condom. Jason leaned his head
back as I stroked his cock before sliding the rubber in place.

The pounding between my legs intensified, knowing it was about

His hand caressed my breasts, bringing the left one to his
mouth. He gingerly bit it, making me throw my head back with a moan. His hand

The photo album slipped off the couch onto the floor. I looked down at it for a heartbeat. How times have changed for the better. That album could retire. This summer, I was going to have a new album…a wedding album.

“Hey, did I wake you?” I crawled into bed and snuggled close

He enveloped in me his arms. “No, but I moved my arm and

I sat up, propping myself up on my elbow. “Amelia wants a

I shrugged, raking my teeth over my bottom lip. Jason’s breath hitched. The

need a break from the wedding too…” I rubbed my lips together and looked up at
Jason through my lashes.

“That’s one of the best ideas I’ve heard.” He flipped me

He cackled, grabbing both my wrists in one hand and holding
them above my head. “Be still, and I’ll let you go.” His tongue ran down my

my bra, freeing my breasts. “I love it when you only sleep in a bra and
panties.”
