Excerpt from DANGEROUS, a YA Contemporary Romance

Excerpt from DANGEROUS - Stone and Dara's  story (Dara rhymes with Sarah):

Stone's POV:

“Is that how you decide who you’re going to date?  By how nice his car is?”  I knew I was baiting her again, but I just couldn’t help myself.

I watched her face, waiting for her to narrow her eyes at me or shoot me a bird or at least frown.  Instead, she shot me a dazzling smile.  “Have you seen the car I’m driving?  What makes you think I need to date a guy for his car?”

The image of her struggling to get out of that antique, ugly-*ss tank made me smile.

“You do have a point.”

“If you play your cards right, maybe I’ll take you for a ride,” she said in little more than a whisper, as if she were in unfamiliar territory.

I locked my eyes on hers.  I could see her uncertainty, perhaps a little bit of horror that I might even take her up on it.  I figured it was best to let her off the hook.

“I’ve never been very good at playing cards.”

She gave a small shrug of her shoulders.  “Suit yourself.”
