Here's another tease from new release Jack and the Jean Stock. Last week, we left poor Jack on the seedier side of town with a drug dealer. Here's what happens next ...
Squinting in the shadows, Jack held up the zipper bag.
“What the fuck are you doing?” the dealer hissed. “Are you crazy? Stash that.”
“I’m making sure they’re all here, Mouse. You short changed me last time.” Probably not smart to accuse him of such a thing.
Before he could blink, something hard butted up against his ribcage. “You got alotta fuckin’ nerve, Castor. I could fuck you up bad and toss your body in the nearest dumpster, and no one would bat an eye.”
Blurb:
Strapped for cash and drowning in his ailing mother’s medical debt, the one bright spark in Jack Castor’s life is working his dream job for a specialty clothing manufacturer that caters to large men. Although his personal life is all but nonexistent, career-wise, he thrives under the tutelage of his friend and father-like mentor, Cronus Gigandet, a gigantic man with a heart to match. But when Cronus dies suddenly, the company’s future is thrown into uncertainty.
Titan Gigandet, Cronus’ wayward son, a giant of a man in his own right, is furious when he learns his father has included his upstart protégé, Jack, in his will, leaving him equal shares in the family-run factory. Reluctantly, Titan rescinds his own self-imposed exile and returns to a company in turmoil.
The gloves come off, and the major players fight for control. With the shareholder’s agreement about to run out, decisions concerning the business need to be made, and quick. But Jack and Titan clash at every turn. The pair is so at odds, the quarrels rapidly become physical, but fists soon give way to angry, forbidden kisses. Though the blazing new attraction does nothing to quell the antagonism or distrust between them.
While battling to save the company, Jack’s mother takes a turn for the worse. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Titan unearths a stunning find.
Could this new discovery be Jack’s ‘golden goose’ or just the beginning of the end to everything Jack holds dear?
I hope you enjoyed the tease from Jack. Hop on over to Weekend Writing Warriors central for the list of this week's www participants.
He does have nerve. Clearly he believes the best defense is a good offense.
