Exclusive Excerpt #4 from Bad Man on Campus!
đź’žHello my fabulous reader friends đź’ž
In Bad Man on Campus, Kace takes the blame for something Glory did and that starts a cascade of bad raining down on him until he has to make some impossible, soul-tearing decisions.
There is so much pain ripping these two apart, but don't worry, there will be a HEA!
Enjoy Excerpt #4 from Bad Man on Campus below!đź’ž
I've been spoiled and lucky to have my two grown sons living nearby me all this time, but now the wonderful spontaneous visits and dropping by any time for dinner or to watch a football game is coming to an end for my older son.
Pictured with me here a year ago, he is moving 2,000 miles away next month to start a new job in a place he loves. I'm excited for him and his new adventure, but so sad to see him go.
On the up side, I already have plans to visit. So it's not all bad.đź’ś

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT #4
BAD MAN ON CAMPUS
a Second Chance Hockey Romance
SNIPPET #4
“Smile for the student paparazzi,” Dooley says and waves toward a couple of young looking girls with phones aimed at me. They wave back and blow kisses and then turn and run as if I’m going to give chase. Jesus. Maybe I need to get out more so I don’t feel like a rare sighting as if I’m some kind of college hockey version of Bigfoot.
But interest is heightened way beyond the usual. Hockey season hasn’t even started yet and my ego isn’t big enough to think I’m this big a deal on campus for no good reason. What the fuck is going on?
What’s more annoying are the interested stares from too many guys in the room watching Glory and her irresistible vivacious beauty standing on a bench in the middle of the cafeteria, waving me over. I know all about horny college guys.
Reaching the table, I hoist Glory down from the picnic table style bench and kiss her. It’s the kind of kiss that makes it clear I’m staking my claim.
Dooley slaps my back and takes me in his version of a man hug. His sly smile makes him look like he’s hiding a secret. He probably is. He’s like the funnel of campus gossip, every whisper leads to his ears where it gets deposited and then redistributed or kept for safe-keeping at his will. Lucky for me he’s an honorable man and knows how to keep the real secrets locked tight in his mind-vault.
“You gotta see this,” he says before I have a chance to settle. Glory frowns at him and he avoids her eyes. Something’s going on and he hasn’t told her, waited to tell me first. He taps his phone and slides it over. Glory is on my other side and I block her from looking at it, at least for the moment.
His Instagram feed shows and there’s a video clip of Glory’s car being towed from the front yard at BMOC House. The camera pans over to the house and lands on me talking to the police. But it’s the caption that’s really disturbing...
