Bad Boys Don't Play Hero -- CH 6

On August 17, 2009, I decided to host a short, young adult, free-read story on my website, uploading a chapter a month until the whole thing was posted. I did this in anticipation of my debut novel's big release date, February 26, 2010. I titled my short story Bad Boys Don't Play Hero, and just like I said I'd do, I uploaded a chapter a month.

Well, the end has finally arrived! Today you can finish the story...I even added an epilogue for you to enjoy. Click HERE to begin or end your Bad Boy adventure with Nick and Kiernan.

And so, a month from, uh...yesterday, I'll begin the countdown to the REAL story we've all been waiting for (well, okay, maybe it's just me that's been waiting forever for it!!), THE STILLBURROW CRUSH!!!!

But for now, please enjoy:

On the baby front, my little girl is officially due to be born one month from today. WOW. So, who wants to start the bet: Will I make it that long or will she come sooner? And will she really be a girl, or surprise us all with...gasp...boy parts?

Chapter Three

Nick was about to run, ditching Vinny—had even stumbled a few steps back—when the first adult grabbed him.

“Let me go!” He panicked and struggled, flailing his arms and legs to no avail. Jabbing an elbow in the man’s chin, he stomped on the guy’s instep but still couldn’t break free. (read more)
