Hump Day!!!

Hello, how is everyone? It's that time again. I'm giving away a copy of Gravity Beach (Courage Series book 2) This is the summer give away blog hop and I'm supposed to tell you why I love summer time. The truth is...I don't like summer. LOL...I live in Georgia so it's freaking HOT. I hate being hot. There's only so much you can take off...well within the law anyway...so normally I'm miserable. Fall/winter is my time of the year. Anyway, here is a snip-it from Gravity Beach.

Excerpt:

“You have no right to say that to me, and then walk away. You don’t know me!”

“I want to though, but I’m not willing to be pulled in and pushed away.”

“You have no idea why I am the way I am.”

Jolie was soaked to the bone and shivering, but she held firm as she stared David down.

“Then tell me so I know what I’m getting into.”

“I loved a man with every little part of myself—”

“Let me guess, he broke your—”

“He died!” The words exploded out her. Shock filled David’s expression followed by what looked like guilt. “I pull and push because I have no idea what I’m doing. I like you David, but if I think about letting you in just a little, I see his face in my head.” She started sobbing.

“I—what do I say to that?” he said so quietly she almost didn’t hear him.

I will announce the winner this weekend so make sure you leave your email address!

Hump Day Hook

Hello all, sorry I missed last week. I've been trying to get a new book started and it always gives me a hard time in the beginning. Anyhoo, I've got a good start so I thought I'd play this week. I think I will give you all a little piece of it and see what you think. It's a young adult novel so there is nothing steamy in it. Sorry to disappoint! LOL here you go. This is from the first book in my future State of Decay series, The Deadlands. It's a zombie book cause we all know zombies rule! Well, unless they are trying to eat your face off...then all bets are off. This is NOT the cover because the book is still in the works, but I did make this to give you a visual!

Excerpt from The Deadlands, Book 1 of State of Decay series. (This is un-edited so sorry for any errors)

“I’ve been in here for two weeks!” Sarah landed a solid kick against the glass.

Sadly, the glass only vibrated, but didn’t shatter the way she would’ve liked. Apparently they learned a lesson from the last time they put her in this room. Her anger grew as did the power within her. She felt her insides heat up and when she glanced at her reflection, she saw her hazel eyes spark a strange orange color. Her hands fisted tightly. The lean muscles in her arms coiled as she fought against the foreign power inside her. Sarah started shaking as she tried to calm down. Her temper was the reason she was stuck in the stupid room. 

So as you can see, Sarah is a little badass. I hope you like this because it's a ball to write. Let me know what you think!

Wow...it's been weeks since I have been able to do a HDH post. I'm simi back to normal so I signed up this week. Anyhoo...I won't keep you waiting any longer. I give you a bit of Jolie and David from Gravity Beach! Because I've been absent here is a little smexy time.

Excerpt:

David ghosted his fingertips down the back of her arms, over her hips, and finally to the back of her thighs leaving chill bumps in his wake. He gripped her legs and lifted her easily off the floor. She felt small and breakable in his massive arms, but somehow in her heart, she knew he would treat her with care. She held onto him tightly as he took two steps to the bed, placed one knee on the bed, and gently lay her down on her back. Jolie liked the weight of David against her as he hovered over her, poised.

Just to give you a visual of what Jolie gets to play with, here is my muse for David.

Hump Day Hook

Hello everyone! It's been a while. Below you'll find a snipit from my latest release, Gravity Beach!

Excerpt:

Finally, she pulled into her driveway and killed the engine. She’d held her emotions in since seeing the soldier hug his daughter and she couldn’t do it anymore. The floodgates opened and she sobbed hard as she rested her forehead against the steering wheel. Her heart hammered against her rib cage as she let it all out. Visions of Ethan ran on repeating through her mind. Memories she had buried deep because they hurt too much to think about. Their early morning fishing trips on the lake. The trail rides he’d taken her on during the sweltering hot Georgia summers so they could swim in the pond. Memories of his hands on her, his lips pressed against her neck, and the way his body felt against hers.

What's up people?! I'm back from the sick and have a nice little bit from Silent Tears for you. Hope you like a little Brax and Cam.

Excerpt:

“I know you have secrets.” He softened his tone as he took a step closer to her and placed his hands on her jaw, cradling her face. “I can see the pain in your eyes, Cam. I’m not blind and I’m not stupid. I know you’re hiding something from me.”

“Please. Don’t push me into to talking about something you’re not ready to hear.”

Brax dropped his forehead to hers and took a deep breath. “Is it because you’re being forced to marry me?”

The words were on the tip of her tongue clawing at her lips to be set free. All she had to do was tell him what had happened to her, what the Mankato’s were using to manipulate her family. How, once again, she was being forced to do something against her will.

*Sighs*...I love these two!

Secret Cravings Contemporary Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to my world. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. For this hop, I am going to celebrate my upcoming release, Gravity Beach. It is the 2nd book in my Courage Series. Below is the blurb and a small excerpt. All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address and you could win a copy of, Courageous Dare, the 1st book in the series.

Blurb:

Jolie Baker had it all, amazing friends, a college degree, and a man she planned to spend the rest of her life with. When her love is killed in action, Jolie has to learn to live again. Three years after Ethan’s death, she moves to Gravity Beach to start a new life. At her new teaching job, one of her students is surprised when her father returns home from war. Jolie never imagined how important the returning solider and his daughter would become.

David Stokes wants nothing more than to raise his daughter, Madison, and give her the best life he can. Because Madison’s mother abandoned them, David is all she has. When he meets his little girl’s teacher on the beach, he is surprised by how much he wants to know her. David sees the pain in Jolie’s eyes, but will his love be enough to ease her tattered soul?

Excerpt:

Jolie wanted to say something profound to him. She wanted to tell him how much she loved him. How important he was to her very being. But, when she pressed her hand against his chest every single word left her brain. There was not a single trace of his normal warmth. His chest, normally firm, because he was a muscular man, now was hard to the touch and she could feel the coldness radiating through the thick layers of his uniform. Jolie jerked her hand away and stumbled back. She couldn’t catch her breath. Her heart beat so fast it was painful. She needed air, so she rushed back through the mourning people and crashed through the front doors of the funeral home. The fingers she’s pressed to his chest still felt cold and the chill seemed to be spreading throughout her entire body. Jolie wanted her love back. She wanted her life back. She wanted Ethan.
