“Yes, you would,” Paige said. “You’re too fabulous to sit in someone else’s wake.”
“You’ve got a rival to take down and lonely people all over L.A. knocking down your door,” Ace piped up. “Besides, I want my own lock on that tree, so you better get to work.”
“No pressure or anything,” Shayne said, laughing, and looking back down at the lock in her hands.
“So, Miss Matchmaker,” I said, “whaddya say? Care to get love-locked with me?”
“Hmm.” Shayne’s eyes were teasing as she tapped her lips. Then she looked over her shoulder and said, “Hey, Quinn. What’s my horoscope say?”
Quinn opened up the app on her phone and grinned. “It says, ‘A new venture in love or business will be extremely profitable and long-lasting.’ Sounds promising.”
I wrapped my arms around Shayne’s waist and pulled her close. “I think it means love
and
business.”
“Oh, you think so, huh?”
“I know so.”
“Want to do the honors together, then?” she asked, her eyes shining.
“Hell yes, I do.”
After opening the lock with the key from my pocket, we each grabbed hold of it and aimed for the same spot, front and center, directly in the middle of the heart.
And then, my friends, as was appropriate at a business so aptly named, we lived Happily the Fuck Ever After.

SPECIAL THANKS
First and foremost, to my favorite Aussie—from the brainstorming sessions to the breakdowning sessions (yes, it’s a word) to the gorgeous formatting to the fantastic book trailer to laughing even when reading my book for the millionth time. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. If I tried, it’d be the size of a novel. Thank you, Ella, for being my person.
It truly takes a village to release a book, and I’d like to thank my talented team:
My phenomenal cover & promo designer, Hang Le, who I just adore. Arran McNicol, my smartass superhero editor. Jay Aheer of Simply Defined Art for the gorgeous teaser photos. Judy’s Proofreading for her fabulous catches—even working on vacation! Mickey Reed Editing for polishing up my blurby blurb. Mary with Between the Sheets Promotions for taking charge of Hooker’s cover reveal, blog tour, and release blitz like a boss. Renee K for keeping my Aussie-isms on track. The fab ladies of FTN for the daily giggle snorts and venting sessions, both of which are always much needed. To my Tribe, my family and friends who keep me sane and give love and support no matter what—my mom and seester, Stacy W, Jen G, Donna, Bianca, Ann. I love you all so much, I’m so glad you’re my people! To the women and men (man? Oh, who am I kidding? It’s you, Bill. Lol) of The Naughty Umbrella—I get to squeeze hug so many of you this year, and I can’t wait!! Cassandra Caress & Karen Branton—I see you both sharing my books constantly, and it blows my mind. Thank you! To the bloggers who have picked up my books, reviewed them, and shared them with the world—a million thanks and spanks. And to you reading this right now…I hope you enjoyed Hooker and will stick around for the many more stories to come!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

About Brooke
You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.
She is the author of the international bestselling romantic comedy series, L.A. Liaisons (“Licked” and “Hooker), as well as Flash Point and The Desperate Man series. The latter, co-authored with Ella Frank, has scarred her conservative Southern family for life, bless their hearts.
If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find - just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.
