Excerpt from Twisted Perfection by Abbi Glines
“This is what you want?” I finally asked.
He didn’t reply right away. Instead he stared at me intensely. My heart picked up its pace and I realized it always would around Woods. He somehow connected with it and I couldn’t stop that. I had tried.
“No, and yes. I want what I’ve grown up knowing would be mine. I want to take my rightful place in my family’s business. I’ve worked hard for this. But… I don’t want Angelina.”
His eyes said more than they should. I dropped my gaze and stared at my hands resting in my lap. I had a decision to make. I could continue to push Woods away or I could forgive him. I could be his friend. Nothing more. He’d given me a job when I needed one. I would leave soon. The day would come when I left anyway. Until then, maybe I could share memories and moments with Woods. We could find the happiness in life together. New experiences. His last taste of freedom and my first taste.
Lifting my eyes, I met his steady gaze. He was waiting on something from me. “Can we be friends? Even after everything else? We could just start over,” I suggested.
The muscles in Woods neck moved as he swallowed. I wondered if I’d read him wrong. If he had just been needing closure and nothing more. But his eyes said something different. “I’d like that.”
Smiling I reached out my hand toward him. “Hello, I’m Della Sloane.”
A crooked grin touched Woods’ perfect face and he slipped his hand into mine. “Woods Kerrington. It’s nice to meet you Della.”
His warm touch caused me to shiver and I pulled my hand away and stood up. “I’m going to get a drink. Save me a dance tonight.”
He nodded. “Without a doubt.”
humm… 🙂
Poor Woods! He keeps getting the friend card, huh? However, I’m not going to stress over this relationship because Abbi didn’t write a book about him finding a friend, right? I demand my HEA, and she never disappoints. However; she might put me through the wringer on the way there…
😉
I totally agree with you! Abbi never disappoints her readers! 🙂
Soo exiting!! 🙂 Is this available in the uk on the 22 April? x
as of right now… yes.
Can’t wait for the 22nd!
Do you have a list of your US release dates somewhere? 🙂
They have all been changed so much right now I am not writing anything else in stone until I know for sure. I should know about my next one after this release in a few weeks and I will start pumping it.
I can’t wait to read it. I’m so in love with Woods and think that I’ll love this book.
Your stories are so detailed. I feel like I’m in the story watching it all develop live. Can’t wait to read the upcoming books.
TOR.
TURE.
But you know we love it 😉 Can’t wait until the 22nd!!
EEP
Has this book got anything to do with blaire and rush?
Nope.
Hmmmm, this kind of sounds like he cheated on her, thats not a very Woods-like thing to do, so I suspect, that would be who his family WANT him with rather than Della…
😉
I hope Woods didn’t cheat on Della. He doesn’t seem like that type of guy. Especially, since Woods was always looking out for Blaire and gave Rush heck when he felt that Rush was not treating her well. It seems like Woods did something that needs forgiving. I really liked Woods in Never too Far. At first I didn’t like him in Fallen too Far because of how he came off at first. I just thought he was some spoiled rich jerk who wanted to get in Blaires pants (He did want to get in her pants though LOL) but he turned out to be a nice guy. I’, looking forward to the story.
I LOVED this scene! And every other scene in this damn book 🙂
when is the release date?! I cant wait!!!!
Loving it! I can’t wait to read this book! Then again I can’t wait to read any of Abbi’s books they are amazing! They put you right in the same spot with the character! The thing I love about books is you can totally get away from reality for a while and be with these characters in there story! It’s awesome!
Will there be a cliff hanger? Or will this be a complete novel?
I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!
