đ€ Sneak Peek: Dirty Lyrics
Rico VĂ©liz, better known to the world as El Tigre, is all swagger and fire on stage. But when it comes to Maya? The man is wrecked. And thatâs exactly how I love to write my heroes â untouchable to everyone else, but completely undone by love for their heroine.
Today, Iâve got a never-before-seen exclusive snippet just for you. Get ready to meet Rico at his most possessive, desperate, and determinedâŠ
đ The Snippet
When the SUV finally pulls up to the front steps of the old Catholic church, I donât wait. I climb out, then help her down, my hand firm around hers.
She stiffens at my touch, but I donât let go.
A gray-haired priest waits under the awning, long cassock swaying in the late summer breeze. His lined face softens when he sees me.
âRico,â he greets warmly.
âPreacher,â I reply, nodding. âThis is Maya.â
She stiffens again, confusion clouding her eyes, but I squeeze her hand tighter. I want to reassure her, but my grip probably feels more like a chain than comfort.
Still, I canât loosen it.
Not when sheâs right here, not when Iâve got her back in my arms and sheâs carrying my baby.âHello, Maya,â Preacher says kindly. âWell then, letâs get inside and sign the documents. Shouldnât take more than a few minutes.â
Mayaâs head whips toward me. âWhat shouldnât take more than a few minutes?â
I look down at herâmy curvy, stubborn, runaway lyricist with fire in her eyes and my baby in her bellyâand I know thereâs no turning back.
âOur wedding,â I say simply.
All fire and fury to the outside world, but when it comes to Maya? Rico is relentless. Possessive. Desperate. Willing to do anything except let her go. And honestly? Thatâs just the kind of book boyfriend energy that makes me swoon.
đ Why I Love Writing These Moments
Because these are the scenes that remind us why we read romance: no matter how chaotic or dramatic the journey, my heroes will always deliver the most epic love stories and the happiest of Happily Ever Afters.
đș Your Turn!
Tell me in the comments â which of my heroes do you want to hear from next?
Rafe Maccon â desperate to find his fated mate by Christmas đđș
Keeton Gray â the wounded soldier who doesnât believe he deserves love đȘ
Castor Falk â the cinnamon roll Dragon with off-the-charts possessiveness đ
Adrik Volkov â the billionaire ex-Bratva whose obsession with a curvy woman drives him to extremes đ„
Or maybe one of your other favorites?
Iâd love to know which growly-but-sweet-for-her hero has stolen your heart.
