Sometimes all you need is Patience.
Life’s been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his
alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he
lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar
bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn’t quite as hard as he makes himself out
to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him
back together, but she’s a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing
he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy,
playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially
when she can see right through him.
Zeke isn’t the only one who’s broken, and for the first
time, in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a
shot of color when she meets Zeke. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met with his
tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty. She wants nothing more than to let go
and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken
pieces of Patience aren’t so easy to find.

Excerpt from the book:
She reached up, tucked her hair
behind her ear, and bit at her lip like she knew what I was thinking. She
closed her eyes and sighed when I ran my thumb across her bottom lip.
“I think I want to kiss you.”
There. I’d said it. It was out
there and there was no taking it back. I hadn’t kissed a girl since I was
fourteen. Mainly because it felt entirely too personal, but with Patience I
wanted to be personal. I wanted to taste her in ways I hadn’t tasted other
women, and kissing was the only way I could do that.
Her eyes widened, and her throat
bobbed up and down as she swallowed hard. Her breathing accelerated as I gave
her a minute to let my words sink it. If she wasn’t okay with being kissed good
and hard, I was giving her plenty of time to say so. I had a feeling that once
my mouth connected with hers it would take a lot for me to stop.
“I think I want you to kiss me,”
she whispered.
I looked down at her sweet mouth
and bit at my lip ring. I tilted her head up to meet mine and moved in. I let
my lips skim hers and they were every bit as soft as they looked. A tiny noise
escaped her mouth and I lost it.

AUTHOR BIO
Tabatha's been writing since she could pick up a pencil. Her
first publication was a little poem in her elementary school paper, from that
point on she was hooked. When she was a teenager, she traded in her girly
magazines for personalized writing notebooks.
At nineteen, she met her own personal prince charming and
writing took a back burner for a while. She's now married to that prince and
the mother of a beautiful seven-year-old princess/rock star. Once her daughter
was born, writing came back into her life, and she finished her very first
novel, Wicked Fate, in May of 2009.
She's now pursuing her English degree and she hopes to one
day teach while continuing to write.
