Wrong Place Perfect Time

JASMINE

Could today get any worse?

Could my whole life get any worse?

I know, I know. Everyone has their problems, but seriously?

My job and my apartment are all gone on the same day.

A help wanted sign looks promising, but once inside the place, I feel that something isn’t quite right.

It makes my existing problems seem pretty manageable when I think about it.

Stumbling onto something I want no part of, I’m relieved when I spot a suitable hero. But he’s not here to rescue me, not yet.

He looks like more trouble than what I’m trying to get away from in the first place.

I manage to get away, but apparently, fate has bigger and better things in store for me and my day.

* * *

Once I find myself kidnapped, not once but twice, I figure I really do need rescuing now more than ever.

The problem is, one of my kidnappers is Mister Perfect himself.

That super-hot, older guy I thought could never really go for a younger, thicker girl like me?

Maybe I’m out of the fat and into the fire here….

Or is it out of the fire and onto that huge fat baby maker of his?

I’m a captive audience, and once I know it’s him doing all the talking, I’m all ears.

And anything else of mine he wants to use.

ROCKY

I’m on an errand that could get me killed if I handle it the way I want to.

After what they did last night to our family, it's war they’ll get.

I’m Rocco, ‘Rocky’ Martinelli.

The Family’s number one guy, the big thug that looks so mean nobody dares cross him.

Time to pull my head in for once. Today’s errand could get me killed.

Or worse.

The thing is, I don’t think I’ve ever put my neck out far enough to pull my head back in.

I’ve always done what I’m told, always what the Family wants of me.

But when I see a girl I know isn’t from this life, and I know the rival family has designs on her, nothing else matters.

Did I mention this girl is fucking perfect, that I have to have her?

Claim her as my own.

And very. Fucking. Soon.

That my whole life from this moment on involves a family, for sure.

But it’s the family I’m carrying in my jeans that I wanna give her.

Mate with her, protect and cherish with her.

That’s my new family even though she’s not part of this life. I’ll be risking both of ours to stake my claim.

I just know in my gut, in my heart of hearts, that even though she’s in the wrong place, it couldn’t be better timing.

Rocco’s here.

And Rocco’s gonna make sure everything’s alright.

Forever.
