Family (Men of Steel #5.5)

by Mj Fields

  Two small glasses of wine and a mini-breakdown later, I corked my bottle and made my way to my car. You can do this, Vi. You can also back out at any time.

  My cell had no issues navigating the address. My screen map timed my trip to thirty minutes, and in thirty minutes I could be in the midst of possibly the best or worst situation of my life. Then again, I couldn’t imagine anything worse than the one I was already in.

  I had enough heart left to give, I just didn’t give a damn enough to use it. This wasn’t about my heart; this was about a thirst I’d fought long enough. This would be good. This could be my something to look forward to.

  Come on Violet, divorce is not death and you’ve got a lot of living to do.

  The Sexual Awakenings serial should be read in order:

  Part 1: The Waltz

  Part 2: The Tango

  Part 3: The Last Dance

  Part 4: Curtains

  Acknowledgments

  First and foremost, thank you to the owner of this copy of Abe.

  Thank you to my agent, Marisa Corvisiero, the ambassador of Crazytown, and honorary board member of Steel Inc. She wears each hat with class, a smile in her voice, and professionalism that blows me away. You loved the naughty ‘voice’ in my writing and you saw the beneath the crude exterior in which all things Steel posses and looked deeper. You believed in me, and for that I am eternally grateful.

  To Bobbie, Jamie, Mary, Mary, Renee, KA, Lucy, Christa, Ashley, Laurie, Gloria, Brandi, Michelle, Ellie, Jen, and Stephanie a million thanks is not enough but you have them.

  To the F2 crew, BR ninjas, blogs and bloggers who constantly share my work with others via social media and word of mouth, I send you a million virtual hugs and praises. Without you to #sharethelove I would never be where I am today. I <3 U all!

  To my family whose support and encouragement does not go unnoticed, even if my nose is buried in the computer, or I am on the phone talking about my books, you are my priority always. Never, ever doubt that. Someday, eighteen hours a day will be more than worth it. I pinky promise.

  To Ally B., when you read these books in ten years (or twenty … please) look past the naughty, there’s a story of growth and love. Every woman deserves to be loved by a man who protects her and her heart. A man who knows she is a privilege. And she needs to feel the same. Choose otherwise and mommy will kick his ass.
