Player
Laura DeLuca
Joshua Handover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic,
and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with
his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in
love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days
have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only
is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends
who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t take their threats seriously, but
then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls
turns up dead. Josh doesn’t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It
definitely isn’t worth the price he’s paying to be a player.

Excerpt:
Someone else came over to offer Nadine their congratulations,
so Josh said goodbye and went to his locker to get his backpack. He figured he
would meet up with Andrea and Rosa in the parking lot. He fumbled with the
combination before finally getting the door to swing open. Something glittered
on the top shelf and caught his eye. He reached for it, and a small scrap of
paper fluttered to the floor.
At first he wasn’t
sure what he was holding. It was a pink plastic tiara with some big gaudy
plastic jewels. It was the type of thing he had seen in dollar stores for
little girls’ birthday parties. It was practically broken in half, and the
edges were sharp. Josh pricked his finger on the jagged point, and a few drops
of blood welled from the small wound. He put his finger in his mouth as he bent
to pick up the paper that had fallen. When he read it, the broken crown
suddenly made sense and he wondered how he could have been so naïve. He should
have realized from the instant he saw it what it meant.
“Josh decided to play
around
Now one of his girls
is under the ground.
Another has a big
bump on her head.
And by the end of the
dance, the queen will be dead.”
