THE EX-Con by Lena Little

Unlike other convicts, I never deny my crime.

Did I really do it? Yes. Was it worth going to prison for? Yes. Do I have any regrets? Only that I didn’t do it sooner. If I could go back in time and do something different, what would it be? I would kill the son of a b*tch with my bare hands and sleep soundly on the same night.

Five years in prison, and now I’m back out into the world and ready to start again.

But first, I need to visit Mom’s grave.

A quick stop in my hometown, then off somewhere else, someplace where nobody knows who I am and what I’ve done.

Well, at least that was the plan before I laid eyes on Jenny. The sexy, stunning brunette who reminds me of my long-lost dreams of a beautiful life. She awakens something forgotten in me, something buried in the back of my mind.

But a piece of my past tries to mess with her and puts her in danger, and there’s not even a choice. I no longer care if it puts me back behind bars. I will do everything I can to keep her safe. Everything. Even if it means unleashing the beast I’ve learned to tame.

He touches a hair on her head, and all hell breaks loose.

Run, run, run, motherf*cker.
