When Emmy Russo returns to high school in Moncks Corner, South Carolina after summer break, she discovers some changes. First: Mom has a boyfriend. Second: the cute new student, Charlie Fields, is a Rockabilly greaser with a gang who obeys his every command. Third: attractive Keir Harper wants to be more than just her best friend. And fourth: a perplexed Emmy soon finds herself drawn to two extremely different boys. How do you choose between sweet and smoldering?
Then tragedy strikes on desolate Thunder Road. Strange things start happening, with Emmy in the middle of it all. Intent on finding the truth, she must fight for her heart, her life, maybe even her soul. Because someone wants to possess all of Emmy. And they will be together, no matter what the cost. For eternity.
Excerpt
We faced
each other for a beat or two. Then he placed his arm around my shoulder and
took my hand in his, positioning his body a respectable distance away. We
danced, slow and reserved at first, but as the singer’s wails intensified, so did
Charlie’s moves. His hips swayed from side to side, and he inched closer to me,
smidgen by smidgen, until his pelvis ground against my hipbones.
Our bodies
melded, moving together in perfect synchronicity. Side to side. Back and forth.
He moved his hand to my lower back and pulled me closer. I took in a quick,
sharp breath. He
“You know,
baby,” he murmured, “You and me have more than chemistry. We have fire. Not the
easy kind of fire you can make from a box of matches, but the kind of fire you
get when you rub two sticks together. I’m all yours if you want me.”
The world
around me blurred as if I were watching it through thick lenses. I imagined
Charlie’s lips against mine. I imagined him shirtless, propped above me, his
triceps bulging as he slowly lowered his chest—mine rising toward his,
beckoning him closer. He groaned a low animal-like sound. It drew me to him.
And I wanted
him bad.
I wanted our
bodies to burn in Hell together for all eternity.
What was
happening? Had I lost my mind? I wasn’t ready. Was I?
No.
Spasms of
panic surged from my loins to the deepest recesses in my brain. In a sharp
snap, the imaginary lenses cracked, and through the broken glass was a clear
image of a boy with kind eyes and a halo of yellow hair.
Keir was my
angel, and I was dancing with the devil. A devil who would betray his brother.
A devil who would convince me to betray him as well.
I shuddered
and pressed my free hand, fiercely against his shoulder. He clutched me
tighter.
“Charlie,
please. We can’t do this.”
“Why not?”
he demanded.
I took in a
long, ragged breath. “Because I don’t want to hurt Keir. He likes me.”
He forced a
laugh and loosened his grip. My hand slipped
from his, and he leaned toward me. His chin brushed against my cheek, and flesh
bumps shimmied down my spine.
“That was
the right answer, New Jersey,” he whispered in a throaty voice. “Welcome to the
gang.”
