BETTER WHEN HE’S BRAVE Synopsis:In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover’s third novel in her sexy, thrilling Welcome to the Point series, a woman’s search for repentance leads her to the one man from her past she can’t forget as they join forces to save their city—and the explosive love neither can live without.
Titus King sees the world in black and white. Right and wrong. Which is why as a teenager he left behind the only family he’d ever known to make a better life for himself. Now a police detective in one of the worst cities in the country, he can’t deny his life has turned into a million different shades of gray.
The new criminal element in The Point has brought vengeance and destruction right to Titus’s front door, and the difference between right and wrong is nothing compared to keeping those he loves alive. To add to his already strained moral compass, the beautiful and mysterious Reeve Black has made her way back to town, and she might be as dangerous to Titus as the guy trying to destroy the Point because he needs her—in more ways than one.
Reeve knows all about how ruthless this new threat to destroy The Point can be… and instead of running away, she wants to help. She has a lot to repent for and saving the city, plus the hot cop that she hasn’t been able to forget might just be the only way she can finally find some inner peace.
With an entire city poised on the brink of war, Titus and Reeve stand in the crossfire—and it will take two brave souls to fight for the ultimate love.
BETTER WHEN HE’S BRAVE Excerpt:
It hit me like a ton of bricks. So
heavy and hard it almost took me to my knees. Roark had been going after the
thing that mattered most to me from the very beginning. I cared about the
people that still had a shot to make it out of the Point. I fought for the
innocent and the young because I often felt like no one else was going to.
Every person that Roark had hurt, had twisted, had infected in his quest to
exact his revenge had been someone I’d sworn I would protect and keep safe.
It started with the kid whose neck he
snapped and ditched outside of the Pit. Just some dumb jock barely in his
twenties that liked to gamble, but he was just a kid and deserved a better end.
Then it was the club. Before it burned to the ground, Nassir had been
deliberately lured away and all the victims were just kids out looking for some
trouble and fun. They lost their lives doing what kids all across the country
did every single day. After that it was the girl on the dock and the armed
stripper at Spanky’s. Two girls too young to be caught up in that kind of life
and too young to be dead. Two girls I should’ve been able to keep safe. And
lastly there was my brother. Sure, Bax was far from innocent, far from having a
shot at a good and law-abiding life, but he was still my only family, my blood,
and even if I had let him down in the past, I took my duty to keep him safe and
keep him out of trouble to heart now. Killing Bax would have served the dual
purpose of exacting revenge on the man who Roark thought was responsible for
his father’s death and rubbing salt into the wound I would suffer for being
unable to protect him.
The realization of how insidious and
malicious as well as how fucking brilliant in his evil machinations Roark was
had me shaking so hard I almost missed Brysen’s words as she whispered “Someone
needs to stop him; he can’t be allowed to go after anyone anymore.”
I blew out a breath and tried to steady
myself. “I’m trying.”
She narrowed her very blue eyes. “Try
harder.”
No wonder Race was sprung on her. She
looked like a doll but had the bite of a barracuda. She was his perfect match
in that way—all golden and glossy on the outside but made of stronger, more
resilient stuff on the inside. If Roark did have Karsen, I sure hoped the
younger Carter was as tough as Brysen.
Just as the big, black utility vehicles
with SWAT team members and the bomb technicians rolled up to the scene, the
metal front doors at the front of the school clanked open and Booker came
striding through with his arm wrapped around an obviously shaken and upset Karsen.
The teen looked so tiny and fragile next to the giant man that it had murderous
rage toward Roark thumping heavy not just through my heart but the heart of the
beast that was wide awake in my chest and hungry for retribution.
Brysen let out a squeal and took off
running toward the duo. I should’ve stopped her considering the building still
wasn’t secure and I still had no idea where Roark was lurking, but I didn’t
have the heart to keep her away from her sister. The two blondes hugged and
then they were both crying as Booker was ripped away from the teen and slapped
into cuffs by the same cop he has shoved over only moments before.
Karsen started yelling when the cop
started to haul Booker away, but Brysen shushed her and guided her over to
where I was still standing. I watched curiously as the guys dressed in black
tactical gear unloaded a robot that looked like something from Star Wars and used a computer to guide
it toward the front of the school. I was dying to know if they were going to
find anything or if this had all been some elaborate ruse Roark had staged only
to show me he had me right where he wanted me.
“Are you okay?” The teenager was crying
big, fat, silent tears but she looked unharmed. She nodded and looked in the
direction where the cops had taken Booker.
“Why is he getting arrested? He was the
only one that came and looked for me.” Ouch. That accusation burned hot across
my skin.
“He pushed a cop. They tend to take
offense at that. Why were you still inside the building, Karsen? What happened?”
I didn’t want to press her too hard because she was obviously pretty shaken up
but I didn’t have any time to waste either.
