Tar City chews people up and spits them out.

Sometimes, it swallows.

But Jax?

He owns it. The bar. The streets. The magic he swore he’d never use again.

Until tonight.

Because tonight, Sisk isn’t playing fair.

She walks into his bar—later than promised—and he’s more than furious.

He’s hungry.

And when she dares him…he remembers why she’s the reason he stays.

The reason he breaks the rules.

This is a 2,700-word short story that’ll hit just right if you’re into: ROMANCE. MAGIC. BAD DECISIONS.

Listen to it closely.

And remember—Tar City doesn’t give without taking.

Huge thank you to Blair M Shadows for gifting me the audiobook of The Bartender’s Ballerina! Narrated by Jason Clarke this short story will have you wishing it were a full-length novel.

There is just something about a morally gray character with a deep, gravelly voice that sets the entire tone for a story. Honestly, I cannot imagine anyone but Jason Clark bringing Jax to life—his narration is pure perfection.

If you are in the mood for a spicy short story with a touch of paranormal romance, this one is for you!

Perfect narration for this spicy short story
