BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY
SUIT (THE TWIN DUO)
JETTIE WOODRUFF
RELEASE DAY SEPTEMBER 21ST
When my sister, Isabelle
showed up, just ahead of a tropical storm, nostalgia and a need to reconnect took us
on a ride...directly into the eye of a different kind of disaster. I woke from a coma
unaware that I even had a twin and married to a man with two little girls. Although I
fell madly in love with children that I didn't remember, I did't feel like I belonged
with Paxton Pierce. I couldn't be who he wanted me to be no matter how hard I
tried. But things aren't always as they seem. I fought my own demons, trying not to
be the submissive he required me to be, yet I craved it like a drug. I wanted
him.
Once upon a time I was an
identical twin.
And then I
wasn't.
The next time I woke the window revealed darkness. I felt irritated, but
wasn’t sure why. Maybe because the neurologist never came like he said he would.
Maybe because I hurt. I hurt everywhere. Even my eyes. Maybe the agitation came
from seeing him. Why? Why was he there? Why couldn’t he just go away? I gave him
a dirty look and hit my
call button. Paxton nobly walked to my side. “I can help you. What do you need?”
I
shoved his hand away from mine. With all my might, I tried to move. Just rolling to
my side caused excruciating pain. Pain like I had never felt in my life. At least not
that I remembered.
My voice raised, yet it was faint. “I want out of this bed, I want to know
what’s wrong with me, and I want you to go away. That’s what I need!” Faded words
was all that I could muster. It even pained me to raise my voice. My muscles didn’t
work, and the ones that did, hurt too much to move.
“Seriously? Tears? Give me a fucking break,” Paxton said, arrogant tone
and all. I wanted to tell him off, tell him to go fuck himself. The words were on
the tip of my tongue, but they never formed in my mouth. The pain wouldn’t let
them. “What can we do for you,
Gabriella?” Another new nurse asked. She moved around me, checking vitals and the
drip in my I.V. while she spoke.
“I have to pee, and I need something for pain.”
“You have a catheter, but I can give you something for the pain. Tell me
where the pain level is, one to ten.”
“Ten, more than ten. Oh, God. Give me something. Please,” I begged. My
neck and shoulders hurt every time I moved my head, but I couldn’t help it. I was in
unbearable pain, and nothing else was on my mind. I just wanted it to stop.
“Where’s the pain, Gabriella?”
“I don’t know. All over. My head, my neck, my back, my leg. It hurts
everywhere. And it still feels like I have to pee.”
“Let me get you some Dilaudid. I’ll be right back.”
I squirmed as much as possible while I waited for relief, holding a flat
hand over my face. Trying to squeeze the pain from my temples didn’t work at all. It
still hurt. “Shhh, I’ve got you. Just relax.” Soft words were whispered into my ear
and Paxton’s warm body blanketed my chest. His hands moved around me and he
held me close to him. The scent of
“Stop fighting it, Gabriella. You’re only making it worse. You’re okay. I’ve
got you,” he said in a quiet tone while leaving soft kisses around my neck.
It’s stupid, but it did feel like it helped, like maybe some of the pain was
lifted. Tears slid down both of my eyes and he kissed them away,
shushing me with soft words. Confusing emotions flooded my body while I wept
in the arms of a man I didn’t know. I didn’t know what to say, what to feel, what
to do, nothing. I knew nothing.
My name is Jettie Woodruff. I am from Ohio. I don't know what
genre I write in.
People tell me I have my own genre. I write
whatever I feel, because that’s what makes me happy. I don’t want to be in that box
where I can only write one genre. I
tend to like my bad boy's, taboo; the touchy subjects that make you want to
throw your kindle. Usually at said hot alpha male. Sometimes the female lead as
well. My motto is life is short. Very short. If it doesn't make you happy
anymore then why do it? Move on. Some of my
favorite things, besides
writing are, friends, family, and the beach. Music, although my interest has
changed after forty, I like the new stuff. Happy Reading.
