Even a 'Bad Girl' deserves a Good Guy

A new contemporary romance novel

from USA Today bestselling author, MJ Fields

He was handsome and from a good southern family.

I was beautiful and didn't know my real family.

He was strong and self-confident.

I was broken and never knew confidence.

He was everything to a girl who had nothing.

I was everything to a man who needed nothing.

He told me I would be his queen.

Then, three years later, he stripped me of my crown.

After our son was born, I "fell down the stairs" and broke my arm.

At the hospital, I found out I was pregnant again.

Two months later, I "ran into a door" and hid my black eye behind designer sunglasses and a fake smile.

In my last trimester of my second pregnancy, we went to meet some of his old college friends in New York City. I took too long to get ready. He told them I had the stomach bug.

I was once an eighteen-year-old girl, married to her high school sweetheart turned tormentor.

That fateful night in New York City, a cycle was broken.

Now, I am empowered …

Today, my name is

Gia

…but only for a few weeks out of the year.
