About BETTER WHEN HE’S BAD:
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover returns with a heart-stopping new series… Welcome to the Point.
There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad . . . meet Shane Baxter.
Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way.
Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced.
Bax terrifies her, awakening feelings she never thought she’d have for a guy like him. But it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize . . . some boys are just better when they’re bad.

EXCERPT:
Brysen pulled out one
of the empty chairs at the table I was restocking and I was forced to look at
her.
“You disappeared in
the middle of the night with a guy I watched snap another guy’s arm in half
with his bare hands and you don’t think I’m going to worry? Who is this guy,
Dovie? More importantly, who is he to you? Because ever since he came on the
scene, you haven’t been acting like yourself.”
My hair was back in a ponytail for work, so I couldn’t play
with it like I did when I was nervous. “I told you, he’s going to find Race.”
“When? It’s almost
been a month and Race hasn’t made an appearance. I know you’re sleeping with
him. Are you sure he isn’t just leading you on so he can get a piece of ass
without having to work for it?”
It was a valid question, but Bax wasn’t the kind of guy who
had to work very hard in order to get laid. “It’s not like that, Brysen.”
“Then tell me what it’s like, Dove, because I’m worried
about you.”
I sighed and pulled
out a chair next to her. I propped my chin on my hand and looked her dead in
the eye. “I want him, Brysen.”
“Well, duh, he’s a
babe. All guys with that wrong- side- of- the- law swagger are, but you’re
smart enough to know he’s dangerous and that nothing with him is going to be
permanent.”
“I am, but it doesn’t
seem to matter. He just looks at me and everything inside me heats up, and if
he touches me, it all boils over. I feel like I’m addicted to him or something.
I know he’s bad for me, but I don’t care.”
“Dovie
. . .” Her tone was warning. “You need to stop whatever it is you’re
doing with him before you’re too far in. Wanting someone is different than needing
them, and there is no
way in hell you need anything that guy is carrying
around. Stay with me until Race shows— or better yet, get the hell out of town
until all of this blows over.”
I bit my bottom lip and just shook my head in the negative.
I didn’t want to leave the Point, and not only because my brother was still out
there somewhere.
“I can’t.” And she was wrong. When Bax got distracted and
forgot to be Bax, all the things Shane brought to the table I very well could
need from this point on. Bax made me crazy and sent my control out the window.
Shane made my heart hurt and made the foolish, girly part of me want to make
everything in his life better; make him forget five years of his life had been
wasted behind bars.
