Jake, Devils On Horseback, Book 2 (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Gabby’s rejection stung the worst, of course. The idea that she would treat him as if he was beneath her, as if he didn’t matter, brought on a bleak feeling that slid through him. So reminiscent of what he’d endured in the past, the darkness threatened to pull him down into the hell he’d escaped. He hammered the nails into the wood with a vengeance. Each blow reminded him of just how poor his beginnings were, just how little he meant to anyone in the world except for the Devils. Gabby had found a playmate, someone to teach her a few new tricks, and now she was done with him. Much as he’d like to deny it, it hurt quite a bit. The cloying humidity filled his lungs, making it hard to take a deep breath. After he was done for the day he’d jump into the cool river waters and wash off everything, perhaps even wash himself away if the current was strong enough. “Need some help?” Jake glanced down to see Gideon, hammer in hand, smiling up at him.
