Bane - L. J. Shen

\nSnow White waited for the prince. You'll be the one saving yourself in this story.\n \nJesse\n \nNaked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud.\n \nLast I heard, Bane was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.\n \nWhich is why I'm more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all--looking humbled.\n \nThing is, I'm on a boycott. Literally--I cut boys from my life. Permanently.\n \nProblem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I'm falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.\n \nBane\n \nHot as hell, cold as ice.\n \nI wasn't aware of Jesse Carter's existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.\n \nShe's a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.\n \nShe is collateral, a means to an end, and a side-bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad.\n \nMore than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.\n \nLittle does she know, I have the teeth for it.\n
