Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughlin will be releasing October 14th, but first we have some exclusive content to share. Each week, FINNClub team members will be sharing special details from the book, and series, in order to share their excitement for the new novel.
Finn Coram
There’s just something about Finn from the OUT OF LINE
series that makes female hearts go aflutter. Maybe it’s the fact that he was/is
a Marine. Maybe it’s the Harley he rides. Maybe it’s the surfing. Or the fact
that he can kick ass without even breaking a sweat.
I’m not sure what it is, but there’s just something that
makes him irresistible to readers and myself alike. When I wrote their third
book (which was planned to be the last) it was so bittersweet. Being in Finn’s
head was just so much FUN. He’s protective, but daring. Sweet, but dominant.
Hot, but sensitive.
When I thought we were done forever, I was sad, but okay
with it. After the readers had finished, I got countless emails begging me to
continue the story. I didn’t think it was possible, but then…it hit me. I could
write Finn as an adult! And so FRACTURED LINES came into existence.
One of the most fun parts about writing him in four books is
the progression of his dirty talk. I thought it would be fun to highlight one
line from each book, to show you what I mean! So here goes!
OUT OF LINE
“Have you kissed Cory again?”
“W-What?” I asked, caught off guard.
“Since you kissed me, have you kissed him?” he asked, his
jaw ticking.
I shook my head. “No. Of course not. Just the once.”
“Good.” He lifted my shirt a little bit more, his fingers
brushing my bare skin, never dropping my gaze. “You’re mine now. Don’t forget
it.”
OUT OF TIME
His gaze latched on my hand. “Take off everything but the
heels and the...” he said, his voice gruff. He gestured to my thigh-highs,
“...the tights or whatever they’re called.”
“Finn.”
“You have no idea how beautiful you look right now,” he
said, his voice so low I barely heard him. I wanted to press my thighs together
to ease the empty ache I was feeling without him inside of me, but I couldn’t.
Not with him in between them. “I bet you want me to taste you again. Don’t
you?”
OUT OF MIND
“Tell. Me.”
“Finn.” I grabbed
his hand and pressed it back where I wanted it. No, where I needed it. He
couldn’t stop now. Not when I was so close. “Please.”
“Tell me the truth, and then I will.”
“Y-Yes. I did it, okay?” I moaned when he rubbed me again,
but too lightly. Not enough. Not nearly enough. I knew I was being too loud,
but even knowing it didn’t make me stop. “Finn, please.”
“You touched yourself and imagined it was me?” He nibbled on
my neck and thrust a finger inside me again. Thank freaking God. “Was it my
lips or my fingers when you did it?”
FRACTURED LINES
“Excuse me? Are you talking back?”
“N-No.” I licked my parched lips. “I just—”
He caressed my butt, his fingers gliding over the side and
across my thigh. When he closed his hand over my core from behind, his fingers
dipping inside me just enough to drive me crazy, I collapsed against his chest.
“From now on, the only words allowed out of your mouth are more,
yes, please, and sir. Got it?”
I nodded frantically, silently willing his fingers to move over
me. To bring
me to the edge again. “Yes, sir.”
BOOK BLURB:
The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart…
Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I do can stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain…
Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal...
One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.
Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.
