Jennifer: The Early Years

by EL Chance

Jennifer Roth spent her childhood making herself the skinny, quiet girl who kept close to the lockers and hid stolen cigarettes behind the bowling alley dumpster. At eighteen she's done hiding. One sweaty summer, a road crew paving the street outside her parents' house wakes a hunger she never knew she had — and Jennifer, not the men, is the one who decides how far it goes.

College only fans the flames. Her new roommate Dani is bold, beautiful, and just as curious, and together they turn dorm rooms and frat parties into a playground of firsts — older men, shared lovers, and a forbidden spark between the two women themselves. Every line Jennifer is told not to cross becomes a dare, and every taboo becomes something she craves.

The Early Years is the scorching first book in the Becoming a Queen of Spades series and the origin story of the woman readers met in New Queen of Spades. Raw, unapologetic, and told from the inside of a woman discovering exactly who she is, it's for readers who love a heroine who always makes the first move. Intended for adults 18+ only. All characters are consenting adults.
