A brief excerpt from Jinxed…
“And,” she added, “Robert’s home from grad school for the summer. So, he’ll be there.”

Beautiful Robert.
Damn Lettie. She had given me a real reason to eat at her house. I hated how she would always have that over me, dangling her brother over me like a sack full of catnip to a cat. Why did she have to be so perceptive? I could have gone on with my life and my little secret, and I wouldn’t be bribed into seeing an old fraud instead of going home and being able to read instead.
