Book Title: PLEASE DON’T GO, GIRL - Book 3 Love on the Radio series
Character Name: Kade Gibson
How would you describe your family or your childhood?
Idyllic. You didn’t think your boy knew that word much less how to spell it, did you? Yeah, don’t let the tattoos and my inner hoe fool you. I was blessed to grow up with two parents who adored each other—still do—and a brother and sister that I loved. Still love them, too, even though my brother… That’s complicated now but we were all close growing up in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. It was a good life.
What was your greatest talent?
Music. I love listening to it, writing it, playing it. And by ear. I’m good on several instruments but drums are my first love.
Significant other?
Stop playing with me.
Biggest challenge in relationships?
Me. I don’t want any part of one. I tried that, didn’t like the ending. Wouldn’t recommend.
Where do you live?
Right now? Get this. In this little town that looks like it belongs on one of those postcards you send to your parents when you don’t want them to know what you’re really up to or where you’re really at? Oh. That just me? But it’s that kind of small town in Washington state. It’s called Pike’s End.
Do you have any enemies?
Yeah. Apparently love hates the f**k outta me.
How do you feel about the place where you are now? Is there something you are particularly attached to, or particularly repelled by, in this place?
Funny enough, I’m not mad about the place I’m at now. Me and my other bandmates moved to Pike’s End for King, Bloody Sunday’s lead singer and our best friend. Nah, f**k that. Our brother. He needed a new, sober start for him and the son he didn’t know he had. There was no way in hell we were letting him leave us. And watching him happy with his baby and the love of his life? It’s all good. So something I’m attached to? My family.
Do you have children, pets, both, or neither?
Oh no. Nonononono. I do enough keeping myself alive. I can’t be responsible for anyone else.
What do you do for a living?
I’m a drummer for the world-famous rock band Bloody Sunday. No, I’m not bragging. Check Wikipedia if you think I’m lying. Everything there is true.
Greatest disappointment?
Making someone my Plan A when they had a Plan B all along.
Greatest source of joy?
Music.
What do you do to entertain yourself or have fun?
F**k. A lot.
What is your greatest personal failing, in your view?
Not seeing and insisting on King getting help with his addiction before he nearly died. A part of me will never fully forgive myself for that.
What is the most pressing problem you have at the moment?
My most pressing problem is my parents’ 38th wedding anniversary is coming up and my mom guilt tripped me into returning home for their party after being away for four years. There’s a reason I haven’t been back, and the thought of revisiting the scene of the crime has me going a little stir crazy. Okay, a lot. A lot stir crazy.
Is there something that you need or want that you don’t have? For yourself or for someone important to you?
I would love to give my parents back the family we once had. The closeness we enjoyed is gone. We’re fractured, and I know that kills them.
Why don’t you have it? What is in the way?
I can’t give that gift to them. Not even for their anniversary. Because that would mean forgiving my brother for sleeping with my fiancé and then marrying her. Yeah. Some things are beyond forgiveness. I don’t have that here for either one of them. But especially him.
Love on the Radio #3
I’m no one’s knight in shining armor. My weapons of choice are my drumsticks and my di—Yeah, you get what I’m saying.
Yet, here I am, riding to the rescue to save Lena Graves from an ugly confrontation with her a-hole ex. It’s not like I’ve given the little secretary, who happens to be the friend of my best friend’s girl, much thought. But I’m not going to stand by and let her be disrespected either. And when she thanks me by sinking to her knees in the club bathroom? Well, I don’t stop her.
I did mention I’m no one’s hero, right?
Now, my mother is demanding I return home for my parents’ anniversary party, and I might be the drummer of the world’s hottest rock band, but I can’t say no to her. But damn if I’m showing up alone—especially when my brother will be there with the woman I was supposed to marry once upon a time.
It’s Lena’s turn to do me a solid, and when she grudgingly agrees to come with me, problem is solved. Though we shared a nuclear hot encounter that is permanently branded on my mind, she’s the perfect woman to be my fake girlfriend. Lena knows this is pretend and won’t expect anything more at the end of this.
But being in such close proximity to her…sharing her space…breathing in her sweet scent…touching her thick, curvy body… This ruse requires me to act as if I’m gone over this woman. But this pretense is stirring something all too real inside me. And at the end, we’re going our separate ways. Or maybe it’ll be me begging her to please, don’t go…
Romance Erotica Sensual | Multicultural African-American [Oliver-Heber Books, On Sale: September 26, 2023, e-Book, / ]
USA Today Bestselling author Naima Simone’s love of romance was first stirred by Johanna Lindsey, Sandra Brown and Linda Howard many years ago. Well not that many. She is only eighteen…ish. Though her first attempt at a romance novel starring Ralph Tresvant from New Edition never saw the light of day, her love of romance, reading and writing has endured. Published since 2009, she spends her days—and nights— writing sizzling romances with a touch of humor and snark. She is wife to Superman, or his non-Kryptonian, less bullet proof equivalent, and mother to the most awesome kids ever. They all live in perfect, sometimes domestically-challenged bliss in the southern United States.
