Ebook Indulgence : True North

She’s his total opposite.

But she could be his everything.

True North, an all-new opposites attract contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author JB Salsbury is now available!

The North name is a heavy burden. Two things I learned young—the best way to keep my head on is to keep my head down, and… never fall in love.

But I’m a sucker for a damsel in distress.

Lillian came into my life swinging. Mistaking me for my abusive twin brother, she greets me with a swift kick to the balls and a busted lip. Then she really shakes up my world.

She needs her job, but she needs a break just as much. And nothing silences my demons as efficiently as playing the hero.

To protect her from my jerk twin—her boss—I take her on a business trip and quickly learn that she’s different. Blunt. Honest. Intriguingly strange. I’m transfixed, so when she unknowingly sinks a multimillion-dollar deal, I don’t speak up. Something my family won’t forgive.

Now, I have a choice to make. I can go against my own blood and burn the North legacy to the ground, or play it safe, commit to my self-imposed rules and predestined future. Choosing her would ruin my life as I know it, but I’m starting to wonder if a life without her is worth living.

Hudson

We stroll down the street, taking turns with the fried bread and looking at each booth that offers some variation of Native American cuisine. Lillian finds a way to strike up a conversation with everyone. The woman likes to talk. And I’m getting an unexpected level of enjoyment watching her.

“Let’s head to the arts section.” She tugs on my jacket sleeve. “I want to get a souvenir—oh, look! A bouncy house!” She hooks her hand into the crook of my elbow.

I startle a little at the contact, even though, so lost in her excitement, she doesn’t seem to notice she’s even touching me.

“We have to jump in the bouncy house!”

“Why? We’re not six years old.”

She drags me closer to the jungle-themed contraption, complete with inflated palm trees, monkeys, and bananas decorating the entrance. “Because it’ll be fun.” She whirls around, her pale blue eyes dancing. “You do remember what fun is, don’t you?”

“My idea of fun isn’t making a fool out of myself in front of a bunch of kids.”

“Why not?” She toes off her shoes. “Kids don’t care if you look like an idiot.”

“You go ahead.”

“You’re missing out,” she calls as she ducks through the strips of green plastic made to look like hanging vines.

Within one minute, she’s laughing with the kids, jumping in a blur of black, with her golden hair flying in every direction. I don’t mean to stare, so I pull out my phone, sure that there’s an email I can attend to, but her laughter keeps my eyes from the screen. I’ve never heard a sound so authentic, free from the constraint of social expectation or acceptance. Have I ever met a person who gets this much joy from something so simple and childish? Lillian balks at a three-Michelin-star meal and finds a contagious kind of joy from a bouncy house.

She’s breathing hard as she has an in-depth discussion with the kids about what she dressed up as for Halloween and who would win in a fight between Sophia the First and someone named Doc McStuffins. A little girl asks her where Lillian’s mom is and if she wants to have a playdate tomorrow.

“See that guy there?” Lillian points me out to her new friends. “He’s afraid of bouncy houses.”

The group of littles reply in multiple forms of shock.

An evil smirk tilts her lips. “I think he might feel brave enough to try if you guys go talk to him.”

“Oh, come on…” I grumble.

Three kids who I wouldn’t guess to be older than five come barreling toward me.

“Don’t be scared!”

“My little sister isn’t even afraid!”

“You can hold my hand.” A small hand slips into mine and holds on. The little girl with bright brown eyes and black hair tilts her head back to look up at me, and something warm seeps into my chest. “Just hold on, okay?”

Only an asshole would say no to that face.

I kick off my shoes and let her drag me to the bouncy house. The kids are still shouting their encouragement while Lillian dissolves into a fit of laughter.

“Don’t be a wussy!” one of the boys calls out while jumping furiously.

I release the little girl’s hand and walk straight into Lillian’s space. Her laughter dies, and I watch her throat bob with a hard swallow.

“I’m going to pay you back for this,” I say low so the kids don’t hear, which makes my voice rumble.

A spark fires in her eyes. “You’ll have to catch me first.”

True North is the third title in the North Brothers series featuring Hudson North. This title is a contemporary romance with characters that are not only endearing but engaging.

I adored Lillian and Hudson’s story. Hudson is protective, sweet, kind, and caring, with a bit of a saviour complex, that makes him all the more endearing.

Lillian on the other hand is a unique and complex character. She’s quirky, disorganised, clumsy, and obsessive but also intelligent and feisty.

This pair have undeniable chemistry and I loved their fun and flirty banter and interactions. Their story is not only well written, but sweet and emotional.

I loved that Alexander and Jordan from Wild North and Gabriella and Kingston from Rebel North had cameo appearances throughout and I look forward to the next instalment in this series.
