The LAST Twisted Perfection teaser before its release
Excerpt from Twisted Perfection by Abbi Glines
“This is what you want?” I finally asked.
He didn’t reply right away. Instead he stared at me intensely. My heart picked up its pace and I realized it always would around Woods. He somehow connected with it and I couldn’t stop that. I had tried.
“No, and yes. I want what I’ve grown up knowing would be mine. I want to take my rightful place in my family’s business. I’ve worked hard for this. But… I don’t want Angelina.”
His eyes said more than they should. I dropped my gaze and stared at my hands resting in my lap. I had a decision to make. I could continue to push Woods away or I could forgive him. I could be his friend. Nothing more. He’d given me a job when I needed one. I would leave soon. The day would come when I left anyway. Until then, maybe I could share memories and moments with Woods. We could find the happiness in life together. New experiences. His last taste of freedom and my first taste.
Lifting my eyes, I met his steady gaze. He was waiting on something from me. “Can we be friends? Even after everything else? We could just start over,” I suggested.
The muscles in Woods neck moved as he swallowed. I wondered if I’d read him wrong. If he had just been needing closure and nothing more. But his eyes said something different. “I’d like that.”
Smiling I reached out my hand toward him. “Hello, I’m Della Sloane.”
A crooked grin touched Woods’ perfect face and he slipped his hand into mine. “Woods Kerrington. It’s nice to meet you Della.”
His warm touch caused me to shiver and I pulled my hand away and stood up. “I’m going to get a drink. Save me a dance tonight.”
He nodded. “Without a doubt.”

Twisted Perfection sneak peek, Book Signing, & the NYT
Let’s start off with the good news… I got word yesterday that Never Too Far has FINALLY made the New York Times Bestseller list. It’s been on the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists since its release but it hadn’t yet caught the New York Times interest. So Hooray! I can stop holding my breath every week now.
A week from today I will be signing books in my hometown – Fairhope, Alabama. If you live in South Alabama or anywhere in the surrounding areas, you can come see me at Page & Palette in downtown Fairhope March 28 (a week from today) at 6pm. I will have authors Steph Campbell and Leigh T.Moore with me. They will also be talking and signing.
Now… for the exclusive sneak peek from TWISTED PERFECTION coming April 22
“Can’t be happy that I’ve become my dad’s fucking puppet,” I replied and heard the slur in my words. Maybe I’d had too much to drink.
“There’s that,” he agreed and picked up my whiskey and finished it off before I could. “Probably need to cut yourself off.”
“Probably, but then I’d have to endure this sober.”
Jace let out a sigh. “I wasn’t going to bring this up but what happened last night with Della?”
I picked up my empty glass and shook it at the bartender. “Nothing,” I lied.
Jace smirked. “That’s not what Bethy said. Apparently your shirt was off and your pants were undone.”
Hell. Figures Bethy had to tell him the details. “I met Della four months ago. We had a night. A really, really fantastic night. Then she walked back into my life and I lost my damn mind. That’s what happened.”
Be sure to follow the blog tour! You can win one of many signed copies of Twisted Perfection.
