The last thing Miranda thought when she responded to a prison pen pal request was to find true love. Joel, well, he was only hoping to pass time and maybe if he was lucky, he'd find someone to have a little fun with after doing ten years of hard time in the state penitentiary for a crime he committed when he had just barely turned eighteen years old. He had been hardened by the things he'd seen and the experiences of imprisonment and no longer believed in lovey dovey fairy tales or happily ever after. So hardened in fact, that he knew women only led to one thing-trouble. Not even a good girl like Miranda would break him ever again. Not with her long dark hair, those hypnotizing amber-eyes, and definitely not those full lips that would look so good…nope, nope, nope. What neither one expected was to find the perfect balance of emotional and physical attraction. Can Miranda's persistence and commitment soften and heal Joel's untrusting heart or will Joel break Miranda in ways she has never experienced before? This is the first book of three in the Locked-Up Lovers series. Enjoy!

Inclinando la cabeza, chasqueó la lengua y sonrió. —Movimiento equivocado. Con eso, golpeó sus labios contra los míos, sacando todo el aire de mis pulmones. Me besó sin piedad. Su lengua se deslizó por la comisura de mi boca y mi mente se quedó en blanco cuando sentí la punta de mencionada acariciar la mía. Al alejarse me observó con una mirada traviesa en su rostro mientras decía—: Ahora voy a ser tuyo. Versión en español de "The Bad Nerd Boy".
