The following is from a book called Unspoken by Lisa Jackson
I'm sharing this because I enjoyed this story. It will get you mad, it will make you fight for certain characters and against others. More so I am attempting to get you to read more by enticing you with this little part of the story.

I do not own this in any way.






"I loved you, Nevada," Shelby whispered. "More than any sane woman would love a man, but I could never count on you, could I? I never really knew where I stood with you and then... and then I got pregnant and before I could turn around, all hell broke out in town and I was just really scared. Of everything."

There was more to it than that; he could read it in the shadows darkening her eyes.

"I even tried to talk to you once, but when I stopped by your house, you were with Vianca Estevan."

"Her father had just been killed.She was a friend."

"She was more than that and we both know it." Shelby shot him a look guaranteed to ice over the gates of hell. "You and Vianca were lovers."

"Once upon a time," he allowed.

"And I was a temporary distraction."

His temper snapped.Before he knew what he was doing, he pulled her into his arms. "That's right, Shelby , you were one helluva distraction. And what was I to you? A way to get back at your old man? Someone to take pity on? One of those bad boys who were off limits?"

"No."

"Liar. You were with me just to rebel and get back at the Judge."

"No! I mean--"

"Oh hell!"

Shelby gasped, and he did one of the most stupid things he'd ever done in his life. He kissed her. Hard. His lips crashed over hers, and he molded his body along the length of hers. Though he was just making a point, desire fired his blood. Deep inside it sparked, then sizzled through his veins....



Again, I DO NOT OWN THIS IN ANY WAY.
