Chapter 1
“I love my wife”
“Yes, but-” Jodi started to say only to get cut off once again before she could explain why she desperately needed to be released from her lease
“I love my wife,” Trevor Bradford, her landlord and amurder as she was, stressed for what had to be the hundredth tio
Jodi released an exasperated sigh as she shifted in her seat and tried to think of another way to explain to the large, and basically decent, man that if he didn’t let her out of her lease ten months early that she was veryhis cousin with her bare hands Since she was pretty sure that a full confession would only coo with a et out of her lease
“I need to be released frohell,” she explained in a cal to ht of twenty-nine different ways to kill the large, and annoying, bastard
For aas he studied her frohteenth century country kitchen table that she’d inherited from her Great-Grandto be inti to work, he tried another tactic
“Which cousin?” he asked, feigning ignorance as he leaned back in his chair Jodi just barely bit back a wince when the chair creaked in protest at having to support such a large hed well over two hundred pounds and every last ounce of him was pure muscle She really wasn’t sure how much more abuse her poor chair could take before it finally cracked under pressure
It would probably depress her for a day or two to lose such a treasured item, especially since she couldn’t afford to replace it, even with a cheap knockoff fro out of the lease fro man on earth then she would just have to suck it up and deal with the loss, she decided
“You knohich one,” she bit out, knowing that he knew da her to the point of no return
“There are five of the happy about that fact, but not willing to make this easy on her “I’m afraid that you’ll have to be a little more specific”
Granted, all of his cousins that rented here seeant bastards, but only one of them was a complete asshole The rest of his cousins amused her and yes, they could annoy the hell out of her, but not to the point where she was conte murder That reaction was reserved solely for one man and one man alone
