Asa Synopsis:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Jay Crownover\u2019s New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues with the much anticipated story of southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn\u2019t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn\u2019t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it\u2019s easy to hit bottom when it\u2019s the place you know best.<\/p>\n Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner\u2019s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she\u2019s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can\u2019t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.<\/p>\n A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

It wasn\u2019t a rusted-out trailer in Kentucky, but it might as well have been. I turned off the ignition and sat back in the seat so I could turn to look at Ayden. She was watching me carefully and I could see how frustrated she was with the entire conversation in the way her shoulders were tensed up and the way her hands had curled into tight balls on her lap. It was the way she used to look whenever I got into trouble and she had to do something desperate and drastic to get me out of it. I reached out a hand and put it on top of her fists.<\/p>\n \u201cI died in that hospital, Ayd. There were no angels playing harps. There was no redemption and repentance. I died and it was very clear that I was going to get exactly the kind of fate I had been courting with all the messed-up shit I had been doing to other people. All I could see was every wrong I had ever committed and every bad decision I had ever made exploding all around me. For once I could see how all of that affected you. I was dying, and I knew what was waiting for me on the other side, yet I couldn\u2019t go knowing that was all you were going to have to remember me by. I had to come back and give you something else to hold on to, some kind of good memory to go with the endless miles of bad I laid at your feet. I wanted to have the chance to show you I could be the kind of brother you deserved all along, so no, I didn\u2019t save myself\u2014you saved me. Just like you\u2019ve always done for my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n I saw her bottom lip tremble until she snapped her teeth around it to keep it still. Her fists unclenched below my palm and she curled her shaking fingers around my hand and her already husky voice rasped with even more emotion when she told me what I think I had needed to hear from her all along.<\/p>\n \u201cI have always been proud that you\u2019re my brother, Asa. Yes, there have been times in the past I would have gladly fed you to the wolves, and it\u2019s no secret that I had to leave home because I didn\u2019t know what to do to help you anymore, but we both made it out alive and are better people for it. I know you\u2019re sorry for the way things went down when we were younger, but I need you to open your eyes and take some credit for the way you have turned it around to make things the way they are now. I\u2019ve long since come to terms with the Asa from my childhood. What I want to do is love the Asa that\u2019s here with me now. You need to let go of those boulders weighted with all the bad things from past that are dragging you down before you get crushed under them.\u201d<\/p>\n It was eerily similar to what Royal had been telling me the deeper and deeper I sank in with her. I don\u2019t think I was ready to let any part of those stones go just yet, but a sexy redhead was slowly and surely eroding bits and pieces of the rock the more and more time I spent with her. By the time she was done, maybe she would be able to carve out something that was worthwhile, something that didn\u2019t eviscerate me to look at.<\/p>\n I leaned over enough that I could kiss Ayden right on the center of her forehead between her midnight\u00a0<\/span>eyebrows and I felt her let out a shuddering sigh.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m never going to let you down again, Ayd. That is the one and only thing in the entire world that I can promise and know it\u2019s a promise I will keep.\u201d<\/p>\n We stared at each other for a long and silent moment. The seriousness of the words I had said to her and the fact that I could see that she understood that I really, truly meant them finally worked to absolve me of some of the guilt that seemed to suffocate me whenever I thought about the things she had done to keep me safe.<\/p>\n Meet Jay Crownover:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Jay\u00a0Crownover\u00a0is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men series.
