Society Girls Rose

By Crystal Perkins

You only get one first impression, and sometimes you can’t live it down...
Rose Murphy slapped Ares Dixon the first time she met him. Now, she’s sleeping with him, but still can’t trust that he really wants more than sex. She’s too different from the women he’s photographed with almost every night.
Ares has only wanted one woman since he met Rose, but he’s done some things he shouldn’t have, in order to protect a reputation he doesn’t even want. He’s tired of the way things are with Rose, but he doesn’t know how to make her believe he’s a changed man.
When she figures out that Ares cars are being tampered with, Rose will do whatever she can to keep him safe, even putting herself, and her biggest secret, at risk. Her mind is a beautiful thing, but it has a darker side she’s hidden from almost everyone, until allowing it to take over may be the only thing saving her. She’ll have to fight for herself...and for the man who truly loves every part of her.
It’s a race to the finish, but will the mechanic and the driver allow love to win?

Prologue

Ares

Another boring party, and another boring princess beside me as I drive back to my hotel. This is what my life’s been reduced to, but I brought it on myself. I wanted the fame, the money, and the women. Or at least I thought I did, until I met the woman who made me remember it was about the cars, and the driving. The one woman who slips in and out of my grasp, no matter how hard I try to hold

onto

As if she’s been conjured from my thoughts alone, I see Rose Murphy running down the sidewalk in front of me. Men in police uniforms are chasing her, and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let them catch her. I don’t know what’s happening, but even if it’s not Society related, I’m going to help

her

out

.

Hold on, honey, I tell the woman in the

passenger

seat

.

What are you doing? she screams, as I floor it, while taking down the top of the convertible

in

.

Rose, I yell as we bear down

on

her

.

She chances a glance back, and her eyes widen, but she doesn’t slow down. I pull up next to her, and hear the men behind us shouting. She dives into the car as I turn the corner in front of her, and

we’re

off

.

Who are you? the woman with me asks her, but she doesn’t answer.

Buckle in, and tell me where we’re going.

Police cars rush into the street in front of me, so I bump into the curb hard enough to make it onto two wheels, sliding between them. When I get us flat again, the woman’s crying, and Rose is cursing me. I don’t care, because my only goal right now is to get my woman to safety. Rose may not accept that she’s my woman, but damn if she
