🔥🔥COVER REVEAL & SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT🔥🔥 False Start by @caseyhagenauthor is coming January 26! #Pre-OrderHere: https://ift.tt/38sGbe9 Watch the SMOKIN’ HOT Trailer for Beautifully Brutal Series: https://youtu.be/QybSFKH5EEM My life has been nothing but a series of false starts. I spent my childhood at the mercy of destructive adults. Always out of place, in the way, an outcast. I wore the dysfunction of my childhood as easily as my favorite jean jacket. No amount of sweetness and smiles could mask the stench of despair. So I carried it. I carried the self-doubt, the pain, the longing to find a place of my own. Until roller derby. I discovered the family of my heart… my sisters. For the first time, I was more than the product of my defunct childhood. I found respect and belonging while on eight wheels. The derby saved me. Only now, the man at the heart of the single worst scandal in roller derby history has set his sights on me. I won’t be the key to Cain Bishop’s unlikely redemption. I refuse to be his false start. I may not wear the skates, but the roller derby lives in me. It pumps heavy in my blood. My great-grandmother was among the first women on the track. And every generation of women that came after her followed in her footsteps. They’re fighters. Every last one of them. All I ever wanted was to be involved in the sport that shaped my favorite people. Coaching revealed the good… and the bad. Getting too close, becoming too invested, it cost me everything. But now my sentence is up. With the resurgence of roller derby worldwide comes my only chance for redemption. The opportunity to shed light on the truth. And her. Maisy Flynn’s a fighter, just like the women I admire. She’s all heart. But even if I made a deal with the Devil himself, he’d sooner see me burning on my knees at his feet than let me have both.

It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. They can barely even pick up their own glasses.” “Oh.” He winced, then shook his head. “You make it sound like they’re all on their deathbeds, sweetheart.” I hated it when he used pet names. Sweetheart. Darlin’. Love. He tossed them out the way beads were tossed at Mardi Gras, and they may as well smack me in the eye like the beads did once. His stupid British accent was like sugar—delicious, addictive, and liable to leave people high. It’s me. I’m people. It gave me tingles in all the wrong places, and that really wasn’t great when you considered that we shared a bedroom wall and I was the proud owner of a prolific dirty mind. “They might as well be on their deathbeds,” I muttered, shaking off the thoughts of my roommate’s accent—thoughts I had zero business having. “They’re gonna send me to an early one.” Dylan laughed as he reached for his tea. “Saylor, that’s not gonna happen. You could have weathered the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.” “I think that was a compliment.” “It’s something along the lines of complimenting your strong will,” he said slowly. “Thank you. I am rather proud of it.” I grinned. “What are you doing this afternoon? Are you breaking for lunch?” He nodded slowly. “I’m with Seb all afternoon. He saw his doctor this morning for another scan on his shoulder, so we’ll hopefully be able to up his weights again today.” I shuddered. Ugh. Weights. “Are you considering taking me up on my offer of coming to the gym with me?” “Can I lift wine glasses instead of weights?” “That’ll be a no.” “Then that’ll also be a no,” I said flatly.
