Money Hungry: A Second-Chance Romance: Money Hungry, #1

By Sloane West

True love never buys.

Or does it?

AMY

When Amy Parrish is forced to confront her ex-fiancé and their past—a past she's spent the last six years burying—she marches into battle with her heart in chains. She'd rather chew glass than see his gorgeous, traitorous face again, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Besides, she's grown now. Stronger now. She's moved on. She's over him.

At least, that's what she tells herself.

WAYNE

When an opportunity arises for Wayne Colby to help the stubborn and misguided love of his life out of a financial bind, he seizes it, determined once and for all to set her straight. And curved. And horizontal.

Any way he can set her.

Only she isn't convinced the money she so desperately needs is worth potentially breaking her already-broken heart again. Is she money hungry enough to take the chance?

Money Hungry is the first bite-sized romance novelette in Sloane West's Money Hungry series. You'll love this sexy, small-town tale that is a whole lotta fun in a tiny package. Get greedy. Start the series today!

"W hat do you mean you gave him the money ?" Amy asked, setting the bag of groceries on the chipped counter and eying her sister with rising dread.

Christina stared back at her with manic, mascara-smeared eyes, their pupils much too large. Despite being the younger sister, Chris looked like an emaciated, haggard version of Amy. Chris’s voice wobbled. "I needed it, Aims. I . . . had to. You don’t understand. I needed it. She let out a sob. I’m sorry. You know I am."

If Amy had a nickel for every time her sister had apologized over the years, she wouldn’t have to work two jobs to put food on the table. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes as her temples started throbbing. She struggled to keep the shrillness from her voice. Christina clammed up like she had lockjaw at the first sign of confrontation. "Chris, tell me again why you gave Wayne, of all people, our last fifty dollars. My last fifty dollars."

Christina leaned forward on the couch, elbows on her knees, fingers twisting her stringy brown hair. She rocked back and forth as she spoke. I’ll pay you back, I promise. She looked up at Amy. I will. I needed to feel good again. Just this once.

Just this once? God, Chris. Amy cursed, turning away and grabbing the edge of the counter. It was that or wring her sister’s neck. "How could you do this? Again? You know I need that money. We need that money."
