Dirty Past
(The Burke Brothers Book 2)
by Emma Hart
On the heels of Dirty Secret, here is a sizzling hot romance featuring another Burke brother and the girl he can’t resist, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series.
Walking out on my wedding wasn’t my best idea.
Neither was throwing my cell in the lake and taking a job as PA for Dirty B, America’s favorite rock band, complete with every teen girl’s dream man, the eldest of the Burke brothers.
Tate Burke is pure sex. Women actually throw their panties at him during shows. And Ella Dawson is the lucky little thing that gets to escort their fangirling butts out when he’s done with them.
Yay.
He’s a cocky son of a bitch, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. Every now and then Ella gets a rare glimpse of the Tate behind the “bad boy” act, and it attracts her in the most annoying way. The most annoying, heart-thumping, panty-wetting way.
When her abusive ex turns up at the hotel room Ella and Tate are sharing, raging mad, she knows she’ll need more than just a little protection. Tate sees red, and Ella can’t help but lean on him, despite his bad-boy ways.
And now? Now, he’s in a whole lot of trouble.
“Tate. I don’t…” she draws in a
deep breath, and her fingers brush against my forearm.
“You don’t, what, darlin’?” I sink
my fingers into her hair.
“Think you should… I should… we
should… um,” she pauses, “do this. It’s not right.”
I laugh low, because nothing has
ever felt as right as kissing her, and I touch my lips to hers. A sharp squeak
buzzes through our connection, and I tug lightly on her bottom lip with my
teeth. Fuck, she tastes sweet, like candy and Moscato wine, like summer
breaking through a fall day.
She grabs my bare sides and I lean
into her more, pushing her back onto the sofa. She goes with me, her grip on me
tightening. Our bodies fall flush together, and as I kiss her deeper, swiping
my tongue against her bottom lip, she eases her hands around to my back.
Her hands are soft and so fucking
warm, each touch is a burning trail across my skin, one I feel tingling
everywhere, because, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Too many girls, kisses, touches.
None like this.
No softness beneath me, no hot
fingertips against me, no deliciously sweet lips against mine.
No Ella.
“Wrong,” she breathes.
“You afraid?” I whisper.
She inhales sharply, but she shakes
her head. “No.”
“Then it ain’t wrong, darlin’.” My
mouth descends on hers once again, and I sweep my lips across hers. Her body is
responding, slightly arching into me, but it’s her mouth, her kiss, that
fucking consumes me.
Her tongue meeting and battling
mine sends me into another fucking dimension, some ten million light years
above ours. Consuming me, fucking with me, she drives me crazy yet again.
Domestic abuse is unfortunately, well know to women. The typical reaction is to keep silent. Ella had survived two years of broken bones, black eyes and bruises which took days to heal properly. Family pressure to marry the supposedly "perfect man" made her acquiesce to the match. Four days before the wedding, she had run away. Being the new assistant to the Dirty B band was her escape. She was just going to have to keep Tate at arms length and not let him intimidate her.
Emma Hart has written a story of first impressions gone wrong. You know, when you meet someone and right away you feel they are good or bad for you. Ella's ex (Matthew) is all charismatic and personable when you meet and deal with him, yet under that exterior varnish, there is a monster hiding. Tate on the other hand is brash, rude, domineering and a constant sexual harassment on two legs. It only takes getting to know him better to discover Tate is just a soft loving man keeping a tough exterior to protect himself. This is the cautionary tale to not jump into conclusions at first sight, while you stay true and respectful to yourself. It is a story of inner strength and survival.

Conner Burke never expected Sofie Callahan to come back.
Where she’s been for the last two and half years is a mystery, and so is the reason she left in the first place. Now, though, she’s back in their hometown of Shelton Bay, South Carolina, at the same time Conner’s band Dirty B is home on a tour break.
Sofie Callahan has spent the months since her father’s death avoiding anything to do with her home town. But with her brother in Afghanistan, she has no choice but to return and sort out her father’s house, even if it means facing the boy she fell in love with and revealing the reason she left.
Conner has questions, and when his broken heart and her guilty one collide, Sofie has to start answering them. Their present is rocky, their future unknown. Only one thing is certain:
Sofie’s daughter will change everything.
