Three For The Win

Eli
I’ve loved Hollis forever, it seems.
I meant to tell her so many times but always chickened out.
Then Stede rode into town on his big shiny motorcycle and saved my life.
Hollis fell hard for him. I get that, what’s not to love about Stede?
I watched and waited, hoped whatever they felt for one another would pass.
It didn’t, and now Stede’s hot head has landed him in trouble…again.


Hollis
I should have known better than to fall for a bone-melting man like Stede Marrow.
A man who hides everything about his past.
I know Stede loves me and I know he loves Eli too, like a brother.
Stede’s gone now and Eli’s here to pick up the pieces of my broken life.


Stede
I should have kept on riding after I saved Eli at the creek.
But then I saw Hollis and forgot about that road up ahead.
I wanted to tell her why I’m running and who I am.
But I haven’t even told Eli. It’s safer that way.
I said I’d never go back to that hick town, swore I’d forget about Hollis.
I didn’t bank on her being so damn unforgettable.

Three for The Win by Keta Diablo
You know what they say about nice guys, that they always finish last? This time the nice guy got the prize, but not in the way he wanted. Hollis and Stede were an item, Eli was Stedes’ best buddy and had been friends with Hollis since childhood. When circumstances forced the mysterious Stede to enlist or go to prison, he left behind more than he knew and Eli stepped up to take care of Hollis, even though he knew her heart belonged to Stede. Two years later and Stede is back, trouble hot on his tail and he is bringing it straight to Hollis’s front door. Better grab some tissues for this one, Keta Diablo is pulling no punches with this one.
