<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>His second chance may cost him his sweetest addiction …</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The truth about <b>NEVEAH’S</b> cheating fiancée hit hard—but not as hard as her right hook to his jaw. After ridding herself of him she travels back home to Huntsville, Texas to her father and his boxing gym where she grew up. When she finds a beaten man in the woods beside her home, her entire life changes and things get—complicated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ex-con <b>RAGE</b> only wants two things—for the man that set him up to release his sister, and for him to burn in Hell where he belongs. After being released from prison, he heads straight to the man that put him there, only to be beaten and tossed in the woods for dead. When he’s found by the most beautiful girl he’s ever met, he knows he’ll have a chance to rescue his sister even though she doesn’t realize she needs saving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Neveah and her father, nurse Rage back to heath, offer him a job at their gym and quickly find out that he’s amazing in the ring. Without them knowing who he is, he knows he’s been given a second chance to live his life. The only condition is that he has to stay away from Neveah, which is a promise he soon realizes is hard to keep. The feisty southern beauty normally gets what she wants, and Rage wants to give her everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the truth lurking in the shadows, Rage must decide if he’s sweetest addiction is worth giving up his second chance.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Do I have to?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad glanced over the rim of his glass of orange juice. “Yes. I’m late to open the gym and the guy needs to eat. Just bring it out to him, Neveah.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dammit it all to hell. I bit the inside of my lip and pulled at my bright pink yoga pants. He’d seen me peeking in his window the night before and I did not want to relive that embarrassment. I had hoped we could avoid each other until he was gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Whatever,” I mumbled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad sighed, and ran his fingers through his hair. “You’ve got to get used to him because I offered him a job at the gym when he gets better.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You what!” I yelled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad frowned. “I thought you were all for helping this kid out? You’re the one that didn’t want to take him to the hospital because he asked you not to.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I had. That was before he’d caught me watching him like a creepy sixteen-year-old. “Okay, Dad. I’ll freaking do it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad gave me a bored look. “Are we going to do the whole teenage whiny bullshit again? I thought you’d outgrown that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I rolled my eyes, then eyed the bowl of soup for Declan. “Aren't you late?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He smiled. “I’ll see you later. Call your Aunt Shelly today.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I will.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad kissed my forehead, grabbed his things, and then hurried out the front door. The silence that fell over me was the loudest silence I’d ever heard. All I could think about was his food getting cold. God. I palmed my forehead and sighed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Better get it over with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy and I walked the short distance to the guest house but I stopped hesitatingly in front of the door . The soup was burning my hand but my feet were still stuck to the porch. I pressed my ear to the door but I couldn’t hear anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy whined while pawing the door. I hurried and knocked before she decided to start barking like the night before. No need to get caught again. How humiliating. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Come in.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The door felt heavy against my palm but I used everything I had and shoved it opened. Greedily, my eyes searched the room and I found him lying in his bed, the covers thrown on the floor, in nothing but a pair of my dad’s red Underarmour underwear which looked completely different on him than my dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shit. Shit. Shit. He’s looking at me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Oh,” he said, like he was shocked to see me. But he didn't grab for the covers, he stayed sprawled in front of me, his thick thighs wide and his chest sweaty from the heat. I was hardly winning the battle with my eyes not to look at the bulge lying between those said thick thighs. “I thought you were Wes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fingers tightened around the bowl and my gaze traveled down the ridges of his taut stomach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Stop that,” he growled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I jumped backwards and hit my head against the wooden door with a thump. “Stop what?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way his eyes swept me from head to toe had my body burning from the inside out. “Stop staring at me.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Embarrassment flooded me. There he was with bandages wrapped around his bruised body and I was ogling him like a piece of meat. And it was worth every second. “I’m not.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His dark brows shot up to his hairline. “Oh really? It looked like it to me.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lifting my chin, I gave him a smartass smile. “Well, I guess you need to go to the eye doctor. I was just bringing you your breakfast because my dad asked me to.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those dark eyes watched me carefully until I squirmed in the doorway. “Well, are you going to bring it here or do you want me to get up and get it?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gritted my teeth before taking a leisurely step inside. Lucy bounded forward and took liberty on herself to plant her front paws on the side of his bed, begging for attention. No shame in her game. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Declan’s gaze cast down to Lucy. “Hi girl. You found me the other day, didn’t you?” he cooed, running his fingers against her head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something wicked swelled between my legs. I need to get out of here. But—once again—my feet were taking a permanent residence on the floor. Lucy’s tail wagged in a steady rhythm as he cooed and brushed his knuckles against her which only drew attention to how massive his forearm was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God, I need to get out of here—like yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stepping forward, I offered him the bowl of soup. Dragging his eyes from Lucy to my own, he carefully eyed the bowl and then let his gaze travel back up my breasts to my eyes. I’d only been this close to him when he was covered in mud and blood. Now that his face was cleaned, I could see every flawlessly imperfect thing about him. The fresh scar on his lip only intensified how full they were. A five o’clock shadow was light on his strong jaw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And his fucking eyes. Things were stirring inside of me that I had never felt in my short twenty-one years on this planet. He reached forward, the tips of his fingers skimmed down the path of my own until he palmed the bowl and brought it down to his chest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His brows furrowed, his hand jerked outward, his fingers encircled my wrist before flipping my palm upward. Shock raced through me, but I didn't snatch away as he examined my reddened palm from the bowl. “It’s fucking hot. Why didn't you put it down?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh God. What was I supposed to say? I’m so incredibly attracted to you that I couldn't risk getting too close to you? “It’s not hot.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God, how lame can I be? I dropped my gaze to the wooden floor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His fingers tightened around my wrist, he jerked me closer to him, and my body pulsed from the bluntness of it. “Stop lookin’ away from me, it’s annoying.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gasped and jerked away from him. “I’ll look wherever I want to look, thank you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He looked down to his abs, and my sex clenched tighter. “Obviously.” He meet my gaze. “I saw you earlier, and last night.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Damn it all to hell! The heavy pressure in my ears doubled from embarrassment. “I wasn't lookin’ at you last night. I was checking on you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The leg closest to me dropped to the floor with a loud plop but he didn't move. “I saw you checking—Angel.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shit. Fuck. Shit fuck! “You’re mistaken but I’ll let it go.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A wide grin blessed his face, and he could have been the fault Adam wavered with Eve. The seductive evil that was so fucking beautiful that you didn't care the consequence. “You like to be in control, don’t you?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What? I nearly gasped but bit my tongue to keep my mouth at bay. Heath had always complained that I had to be in control of every situation but in reality he was just weak. “No, I don't” I snapped.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You do,” he said back. “But that’s okay because I’m the master of control, and it’s tough shit for whoever doesn't like it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something about the tone of his voice told me that he was probably telling the truth. And by the look of him he’d have another woman underneath him in two seconds to fill that void the disappoint left behind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I’m not falling for your tricks,” I said. “I know you want me to fall for this bad boy bullshit but asshole really isn't my style.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh shit. If looks could kill. His jaw twitched and he sat his soup to the side. “I’m not trying to seduce you, Angel. I've already got you. I’m trying to make sure you don’t fall for my bullshit, and into this fucking bed because it doesn’t need to happen. It won’t happen.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stepped back like I’d been slapped. I was sure he'd liked what he'd seen when I walked in here. “Fuck you. I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last fuck on earth.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bed squeaked, his arm snaked around my waist and he drug me closer to him. Mouth parted, eyes on my lips, his minty breath heaved against me. “Take it back,” he whispered against my mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warmth settled between my legs, and I went liquid. If he hadn't pulled me against his chest I would have been a puddle of goo on the floor. My fingers sprawled against his tanned skin and my breasts brushed against his own. “Let me go,” I whispered, aware of how his eyes hadn’t strayed from my opened mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wetness puddled in my panties as he brushed the pad of his thumb against my lower lip. “I wish I didn't have to.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But he released my waist and allowed me to stand which didn't go very well. I stumbled to the left, and caught myself on the small nightstand at the same time he reached forward to catch me. “Careful,” he whispered, and I didn't have to look to hear the smugness in his voice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I’m leaving,” I whispered helplessly. “Eat your food. I’ll be home today if you need anything.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“And how do you expect me to get you?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Oh,” I said, meeting his gaze. “Here is your phone.” I dug it out of my butt pocket and handed it to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He kept eye contact but reached for his phone. “You looked through it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I swallowed, too stubborn to lie. “Yes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“And what did you find?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked over at Lucy who had her head rested on her front two paws, watching us. “Nothing. I found nothing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He nodded. “Good.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We watched each other for several seconds, the obvious he’s bad news weighing between us. I needed to leave because the small voice in the back of my head was telling me to ask questions that I was sure I didn't want to know the answers to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Call me if you need anything.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He nodded once, and I felt his eyes on me as I swayed my hips, my insides practically begging me to stay. Once I shut the door, I used it as a crutch because my wobbly legs were threatening to betray me. God he was tense. I was tense. I was turned on beyond oblivion, a feel of desperation flooded me with need.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This isn’t going to be good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Will she ever find a way to overcome the guilt? </div>

<b>UNEDITED/SUBJECT TO CHANGE</b></div>
<br />
Hopelessness gripped my soul, dragging me back down into the dark and treacherous depths of my despair. I’d been loving him so long, I didn’t know how to stop. I didn’t know how to unlove him and it was slowly killing me inside. A small part of me wanted to be free…find a way to forget him completely. Another sob racked my body. The rest of me wanted to let him consume what was left.<br />
<br />
The door to the shower eased open. “Sylvie?” Linc breathed, deep concern etched across his face.<br />
<br />
I didn’t have the energy to stop him as he stepped inside and shut off the water. My teeth chattered, a chill settling deep into my soul. A towel was wrapped around me, and then he carried into the bedroom. Drawers opened and closed while I sat shivering on the edge of the bed, my mind struggling to make sense of what was happening. Dirty brown boots stepped into view, bringing an intense wave of heat. I sighed with relief, lifting my chin. Linc’s knuckles feathered my cheek as he stared down at me with eyes that promised everything would be okay. God, I needed that to be true that. But in order for me to ever be okay, I needed something to drown this overwhelming sadness. I needed a way to forget. I needed something to hold on to, besides his pillow at night.<br />
<br />
Reaching up, I gripped the back of Linc’s neck and pulled him down on top of me. My lips found his in a singular quest to eliminate every feeling, every emotion, and every thought. The taste of freedom was potent on his tongue. So was my shameless desire to claim it.<br />
<br />
“Sylvie,” he muttered, one hand cupping my cheek. His lips, the way they said my name. The way they kissed away the pain. This was what I needed. Just as the blessed thought moved in and took up space, it was immediately evicted and the reality of who I’d just kissed came crashing into me.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Without looking behind me at the approaching danger, I plant my feet, pull my arm back, and throw the ball with all my might. For a second, everything seems to be moving in slow motion. I’m watching the ball fly slowly through the air, waiting to hit the hands of the guy who’s about to win it for us. But before I can see if the catch is complete, a 350-pound freight train crashes into my left side, knocking the air right out of me. The momentum from the hit jerks my head to the left as my body gets jarred to the right and slammed into the ground. I hear the pop before I feel the excruciating pain. It’s sending sharp jolts of what feels like knives stabbing me straight up my left leg. It’s so intense it instantly makes me nauseous.</div>

I can’t hear anything as I roll back and forth clutching my knee in agony. This is bad, real bad. Gritting my teeth, I try to hold in the groans that want to escape my throat as I wait for the training staff to get to me on the field.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“What’s wrong, Landon?” one of the trainers asks while bending down to get close to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“My knee,” I moan out through clenched teeth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Okay, can you walk with some help?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I could probably hop toward the sideline, but I won’t make it to the locker room.” My mind is going all over the fucking place with the possibilities of what could be wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Alright, let’s go.” He nods at two of my teammates and each of them grabs an arm and helps me to my feet. A hiss passes through my teeth as I slightly move my left knee on accident. With all of my weight on my right leg and my arms slung over my teammates’ shoulders, I manage to hobble my way to the sideline where transportation is waiting for me. Once I sit down, a relieved breath emerges from me. I’m still in a lot of pain, but I’m glad I made it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cart starts moving to take me to the doctor, who I’m sure is waiting on my arrival. Before I’m taken away, I glance up at the stands to find Valerie. Her mouth is hanging slightly open and all the color has drained from her face. I give her a thumbs up and try to put a small smile on my face to let her know I’m okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I’m anything but.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Abel Gunner is a rock-star with legendary skills both in and out of the bedroom. He swore he wouldn't fall for another woman after being schemed and manipulated by an ex-lover. He kept that vow until he met Gia Mastro. The Dom inside of him awoke the moment he set eyes upon the submissive beauty. His dark soul hungered for her submission and affection. The deep connection they share leaves him desperate for something he never expected – her love. Her pain brings him the pleasure he craves. Her smile calms the beast that rages within him. Gia loves Abel more than life itself, but Abel is disillusioned by love and wrecks Gia in the process. Her life hangs in the balance. His life depends on forgiving her. This couple must face many truths. Is love enough to overcome the damage that dwells within? Gia’s experiences with love have been nil until meeting the infamous bad-boy rocker, Abel Gunner. Swept up in a mind-bending, Dom/submissive love affair, she’s forced to make decisions that both help and hurt their relationship. They both have to face their demons before they can embrace a future together. In the end, they’re faced with two choices: Fight for their love, or die with their demons.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I grew up reading Judy Blume, and Nancy Drew books. I was raised in the town of North Valley Stream, New York(Long Island), and attended community college for fashion design. At 19 years old I opened a boutique. Recently, I published my second novel Beautiful Lies(erotica). Saving Abel(Erotic-Rock-Romance) will be my third and will be published June 30th. When I'm not writing, you can find me with friends and family. I live in Massapequa, NY with my two beautiful boys PJ and Drew, and our Mastiff Hercules. Reading has always been a passion and obsession. You can usually find me typing furiously while shouting obscenities over my latest WIP. My guilty pleasures are: a good laugh, being snarky, espresso, Pistachio ice-cream, alternative music, sunflower seeds, I.P.A's, twizzlers, and above all steamy swooning angst filled novels. I'm pathologically obsessed with True Blood(Eric ;), Games of Thrones, White Queen, Vampire Diaries, Resurrection, and The Originals. If you'd like to chat. Hit me up on Facebook or twitter.</div>

<span id="freeText2169049253875767782">Ryan Stone is a less than average teenager. He doesn’t have fancy clothes. He doesn’t carry around the latest smartphone and he definitely doesn’t have an MP3 player. Instead, he goes to school, does his chores and dreams of a new life away from Brookfield where he’s expected to follow in his blue collar family’s footsteps.</span>
Hadley Carter is America’s Pop Princess. A successful recording artist living her dream with a sold-out tour and a handful of Grammy’s there isn’t much that she wants for, except love. But finding love on the road is near impossible when all she longs for are romantic dinners, a nighttime stroll on the beach and holding hands with someone who isn’t going to exploit her.
When a chance encounter introduces Ryan to Hadley, will he be like her adoring fans looking for a way in, or will it be Hadley who pursues Ryan even though it might cost her the only career she's known.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Welcome back to The Core. ALICE includes all four installments of Alice's story: Enticed, Seduced, Exposed, and Elevated!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most exclusive, anything-goes, all-night dance club is alive with music, drinks, and unrivaled passion. As The Core’s top matchmaker, Alice is gunning for a promotion. One she’s got locked down as long as nothing disrupts her dance-floor dominating routine. But when the sexy mechanic Evan walks into her work and shakes her confidence in her matchmaking abilities, Alice can’t resist his good looks or his passionate ways. He sweeps her off her feet, enticing her with the adrenaline of his bike and the intensity of his attraction to her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Alice knows she can’t get close to anyone from The Core. And after learning the secrets in Evan’s past that drive his irresistible, never-hold-back personality, she’s not sure she can let him go without falling back on the dangerous patterns that haunt her own drug-addicted history. Admitting his part in the devastating loss of his brother nearly rips Evan apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those pills locked in a drawer in her office grow more tempting with each passing day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it’s Alice’s turn to let go of her fears and elevate herself to a new level... one filled with passion, confidence, and—she hopes—Evan’s reckless love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alice’s tale unfolds in this collection from The Core with a hot, emotional story that will tantalize new readers of the series and fans of <b>The Core: Andee</b> alike.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="border: 9px groove #e4bf8b; height: 400px; overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“Does it bother you?” Evan asks.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“Does what bother me?”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“The male attention at The Core. Do the security guys take care of you?”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
His intensity has shifted focus now that we’re speaking openly about our feelings for one another. <em>This</em><em> </em>is protective-Evan, and I like it. A lot. The way his arms hold me up right now, the concern crinkling the corners of his eyes. It’s possessive, hot, and just for me.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“It doesn’t bother me. I’ve never had an incident at The Core where I felt unsafe. But Andee and I have met women who don’t appreciate our sexual openness. I’m sure it’s mostly born of jealousy, but we’ve been called sluts a few times.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“And that bothers you.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“Not being called a slut, no.” The truth of my own words warms me inside and helps press away the nagging guilt I feel that while Evan is being so open with me, I’m still not telling him anything that matters. “I <em>love</em><em> </em>that men find me attractive. I love that I’ve had many partners, both male and female. Being called a slut doesn’t make me feel any worse than being called dark-haired. It’s just a part of who I am: outgoing, sexual, and not afraid of it.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Evan waits for a moment, and then quirks up an eyebrow. “But...?”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“What bothers me is that girls feel the need to insult other girls based on differences. So I’ve fucked more guys than I can count. I’m not any better than a girl who married her first love. Nor is she better than I am. In The Core, we don’t have the right to shame other people for their sexual preferences or fetishes. It doesn’t matter. Doesn’t define the person or take away from a person’s value. But in real life...” I trail off, unsure of where I’m going with this, or what Evan will take from it all.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“In real life, we seem to think it does matter.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“Right.” My voice drops to a whisper. “So I worry how you’ll feel when you someday introduce me to a friend of yours, and she knows me because I’m that <em>slut</em><em> </em>from The Core.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
He nods, understanding. “You think I’ll be ashamed of you.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
I peer up at him through my lashes, twisting my fingers together nervously.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
A grin tugs at the corner of his mouth. “Even though I told Derek I wouldn’t come to The Core at all because I was looking for love, not just a one-night-stand.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
What? I tilt my head, confused.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
He averts his gaze, still smiling, as if remembering something funny. “Even though Derek convinced me I could find love in The Core, from anyone except Alice. Alice isn’t into that kind of thing.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“I don’t get where you’re going with this,” I say. My heart pounds with anticipation. I hadn’t thought about what Evan was looking for when he decided to show up at my work. I only knew he wanted me when he saw me, and I couldn’t resist him even when I tried.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
He turns his charming grin on me full-force, taking my breath away. “I <em>knew</em><em> </em>you were untouchable, Alice. But I’m a thrill-seeker. And a challenge like that?” He lets out a satisfied groan, as if re-living a moment of pure ecstasy. “What an unbelievable turn-on.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
My mouth falls open. “You came to The Core because Derek... <em>dared</em><em> </em>you? Because he said there was no way you could get me?”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
He shrugs, sheepish. “He didn’t say it like a dare. I made it into one, I suppose.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
A laugh of disbelief escapes me. “And you pulled it off.”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“Well, if you still love me after I’ve told you that... yeah, I think I did.”</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>From the <em>New York Times</em> and <em>USA Today</em> bestselling author of the <em>With Me in Seattle Series</em> comes the end of a saga…</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dominic Salvatore seemingly has everything a man could want. He’s found a new relationship with his father and the entire Montgomery family. His vineyard, Cuppa di Vita, is a success. There’s only one thing that eludes him: a certain driven, intelligent, and sexy as hell blonde named Alecia.
Alecia works tirelessly building her event planning business. It’s the most important part of her life. Despite the beautiful, lavish weddings she organizes, Alecia is convinced that the idea of <em>true love</em> is a myth. While Dominic is a sexy, intriguing man, welcoming the handsome Italian into her bed, and her life, is a risk she’s not so sure she’s willing to take.
However Dominic isn’t used to taking no for an answer, and it’s not long before these two are burning up the sheets and discovering a connection that neither can deny. But will it be strong enough to last forever?
“I’m going to eventually make you understand how amazing you are, <em>tesoro.</em>” – Dominic Salvatore

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Like most large career moves, this one happened by accident. Karen spent a lot of time planning what she was going to do with her life, but Fate had other plans for her, as she often does for most of us. Karen just happened to rob the wrong grave.<br />
<br />
As a single mother who's struggling to make ends meet, Karen stumbles into the worst job on earth: transporting souls into the afterlife. To make matters worse, she is contractually bound to continue the job indefinitely, and her difficult employer is none other than Fate. It doesn t take long for Karen to learn that Fate may be fashionable, but she's also heartless.</blockquote>

<div class="BodyA" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Karen studied the coffin she had just uncovered. The lid, once a shiny lacquered surface, was now partially decayed and fell apart as Karen pried it off. Bits of wood turned to dust in her hands as she worked diligently to make an opening. Her arms were tired from digging and the fatigue made it more difficult to be gentle with the rotting wood. She paused to shake her arms vigorously and relax the tension in her muscles and upper body. As she breathed in the chilly night air, she could smell her own sweat mixed with the fragrance of the rich earth and decaying wood. She took a few more deep breaths and turned back to the task of opening the grave. She worked patiently to handle the lid with care and managed to remove a large chunk that was nearly a third of the entire lid. Through the hole she had made she saw the top half of a well-dressed skeleton.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The grave was on the edge of the cemetery in a neglected corner that looked as if it could be part of the adjoining land. The gravestone had fallen over years ago and weathered so much that it looked like an ordinary limestone rock. A few days earlier when Karen recognized that it was actually a grave, she decided to rob it. She was hoping that no one had gotten to it before her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This particular plot was an older grave from a time when individuals placed ancient coins over the eye sockets of the corpse, although the coins weren’t ancient when they were buried. Most of these graves had already been robbed, but due to the location and lack of distinct marking or some other mystical reason, this one had gone unnoticed by robbers until now. It was almost as if the grave had been hidden until the right person came along. Karen wasn’t the typical grave robber, and perhaps the corpse found this attractive. Regardless of how the grave had remained unspoiled for so many years, Karen was the one who finally opened the casket and plucked up the coins. It was at that moment that Fate appeared.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You have three days to finish the task,” someone said as soon as Karen had snatched the coins and a few other small trinkets from the corpse. Karen jumped when she heard the voice. It had a rich, mellow tone and resonated with authority. Karen turned around and briefly thought about running, but she decided to stay put when she saw a woman staring her down. The woman had come out of nowhere and appeared to be alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The woman was, if nothing else, fashionable. She was very fit, toned but not bulky in stature, and wore clothes of the finest quality. Her boots were Italian leather and the jacket and pants looked like something from a Chanel boutique.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Karen slowly put the coins into her pocket, along with the gold watch she had taken from the breast pocket of the skeleton’s suit, and addressed the woman. Other people might have felt intimidated by the situation. Karen was ready to fight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
“What task?” Karen demanded. “Who are you?” A pocket of night air brushed past and gave her a chill as she waited for an answer. However, she would not let her discomfort show.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I am Fate, of course. You took the coins intended for the Ferryman. The work is now yours. You’re hired.” The woman stood with one hand on her hip as she spoke with confidence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“To do what?” Karen glanced around to see if anyone else was nearby. Surely Fate was not alone in the graveyard at three in the morning. Karen had chosen the time based on her experience of when graveyards were most empty. She’d learned a lot since she started grave robbing and knew that the time between when the bars close and the coffee shops open are the most vacant hours of the night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“This gentleman paid for safe passage to the next life. Your job is to get him there,” Fate explained. “And you’re already late.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The novelty of the situation wasn’t lost on Karen. She knew the legend of the Ferryman and about how people would be buried with coins on their eyes or lips to pay for a successful journey into the afterlife. She also knew that there were very few graves left where the gold coins were still in place. Karen was unlucky enough to find and rob this particular grave when Fate was nearby and looking for someone to do her bidding. Fate probably just liked the look of Karen. There were few women strong or daring enough to rob graves, and that probably worked in Karen’s favor. She was also physically strong for a woman her size and had a determined appearance in the way she carried herself as she moved. Whatever it was, something had attracted Fate, and once Fate has her eye on you there’s no getting away. Of course, Fate always has a way of putting someone into a situation and then leaving, which is what she did with Karen. Some people would call this poor management. Others call it being smart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Fate abruptly vanished and Karen saw the ghost that had been standing behind Fate. He was dressed in a black suit with a starched white shirt, a black vest and red tie. His shoes were polished and glowed. He certainly seemed less solid than everything else in the graveyard. Looking at him made Karen’s eyes water, as if she was watching heat coming from a flame. Everything about him was wavy and unstable. He took a step forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’m Jerome Brown,” the ghost said politely. “Managing partner of Smith and Brown Trading Goods. I ran the general store in town.” When Karen didn’t respond after a few moments he continued, “What’s your name?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Karen Irving.” She looked from the coffin to the ghost and then around the graveyard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“So you’re the one who’s going to take me?” the ghost asked hopefully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I don’t know,” Karen replied. She wiped her forehead with her hand, smearing a small amount of dirt onto her face as she did so. “I don’t know where to take you.” She remembered her son, Claude. She shouldn’t have left him home alone, but he was a sound sleeper and the house was locked. She thought she’d be gone for a couple of hours when she left. Now it looked like it would be a bit longer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“That lady called you ‘The Ferryman.’”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’m not.” Karen carefully pushed the pieces of the coffin lid shut again and climbed out of the grave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“She looked like she knew what she was talking about.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Who?” Karen asked, unsure if the ghost had seen everything that she had. She began kicking some of the loose dirt onto the grave. She was starting to feel cold and the activity helped warm her up a bit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“The bossy one. She just left.” The ghost pointed to where Fate had been standing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“So, she was real,” Karen said more to herself than to the ghost. Of course, the ghost could have also been a dream. Anything was possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Yep.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“And you’re real?” Karen shoveled a few piles of dark brown earth onto the coffin lid. If she had more work to do before morning, she wouldn’t have time to put things back properly, but she wanted to do something. She hated the thought of leaving the coffin completely exposed. Besides, the feeling of the wooden shovel in her hands was reassuring to her. She was, after all, talking with a ghost. Shoveling seemed to help her feel a bit more normal about the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“As real as you. Maybe mores so, since I’ve been around longer.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“How long have you been here?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I don’t know. You just stole my watch,” he said with a shrug.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“This watch hasn’t worked for at least a century,” Karen replied as she stopped shoveling. She reached into her pocket to pull out the timepiece for a better look. The gold felt soft compared to a modern watch, and she knew it was high quality. She opened and closed it a few times. The hinges were stiff but still moved even though the hands had stopped. Perhaps it just needed a good winding, but there was no time for that now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“That explains a lot,” he replied. “I never went anywhere because I thought I had plenty of time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“What am I supposed to do?” Karen asked, ignoring his last statement. She threw down the shovel and looked squarely at the ghost. “You put those coins on your eyes. She said it was payment for the Ferryman. What does it mean?” She knew the legend, but she didn’t understand how or why she was supposed to get involved in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I didn't put those coins on my eyes. My daughter did that to help me into the next life. You’re supposed to carry me across the river. That’s what a ferryman does. He takes passengers across the river.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“The river?” Karen asked. It sounded silly to her, but she knew where the river was located. It wasn’t terribly far and the guy didn’t look very heavy. After all, how heavy could a ghost be? It’s mostly air — or some other floaty stuff. If all she had to do was to get him to the other side of the river, she could do that and be back home in an hour before her son woke up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Getting the ghost into the car was awkward for Karen. After she had placed her shovel and other tools in the trunk, she opened the passenger door and watched him float inside. She wasn’t sure if he was able to manage the door handle, but once he was inside, his translucent fingers began exploring the interior components. At first Karen reached down for the seatbelt to secure the ghost, but then she changed her mind as she realized that it might not work. First of all, he wasn’t made up of firm matter and if an accident took place he was likely to pass right through the belt, anyway. More importantly, safety wouldn’t be a primary concern for someone who was already dead. She slammed the passenger door and ran back to her seat to start the car. The ghost giggled when the engine roared to life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Jerome enjoyed the ride in her car, which was a completely new experience since he’d died before cars were invented. He was a real chatterbox, too. He kept talking about how much the town had changed, and he repeatedly asked her to slow down so he could get a better look at things. Karen ignored him and kept driving. Whatever weirdness was going on needed to be done before Claude awoke in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Karen drove quickly toward the center of town and over the large expansion bridge to the other side of the river. All the while, the ghost asked her questions about everything he had never seen before and what these new things were called. She gruffly responded to his questions, enduring the roughness of the ride in her haste to complete the job and get back to living her life. As soon as the bridge ended and she reached the other side she turned to look at the ghost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Shouldn’t you be gone?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I don’t know. Isn’t that <i>your</i> job?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’re on the other side of the river.” She paused to think about the situation and then added, “Perhaps you need to step out of the car and onto the ground to touch the earth on this side.” So that’s what he did, after struggling with trying to figure out how to open the car door. Once it opened, he marveled at the mechanics of the electric safety locks, listening to the clicking noise it made each time he pressed the button. Karen finally urged him to get moving and out of the car. She looked hopefully at the ghost as he made his way out of the car, but the ghost simply continued to talk about how things on this side of the river had changed just as much as they had on the other side. “This is wrong,” Karen sighed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’re telling me!” the ghost exclaimed. “Electric lights. This black stuff on the roads —”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Asphalt,” Karen interjected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Ass fault. What a funny name!” he said with a smile in his voice. “Ass fault,” he said slowly, listening to the sounds of the words as he pronounced them, “and cars with radios. This is all so fascinating. I don’t think I should have died at all. It seems as if life has become wonderful while I’ve been in the grave.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Perhaps you need to walk over the bridge,” Karen suggested. “Maybe the car interfered with the process.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Do you think so?” he asked. “Although, I’m not in a hurry now because I really like what I see, and I wouldn’t mind exploring more of the town.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’d love to show you the town, but I have someplace I need to be,” Karen replied. She thought again about Claude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You don’t have anywhere else to be,” the ghost replied. “I think you’re supposed to be here. Isn’t this your job?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“This isn’t my regular job. I work for the cable company.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“A telegraph operator? You’re a very talented woman, I see.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Karen dismissed his comments as the ravings of a simple-minded ghost from an earlier time period. She wasn’t enjoying this job, but she didn’t enjoy most of the others she’d had. Few people do. There’s something about a thing being called “work” that makes it automatically unpleasant. Although, some more adventurous types who came across a two-hundred-year-old ghost might think to ask a few questions about what life was like all those years ago. Someone else might be scared or might be curious about what it feels like to be a ghost. Karen, however, was short on sleep and long on worrying about her son, and she was too baffled by the weird situation to enjoy any of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She still wondered how she had stumbled into the odd situation. She had never planned on robbing graves and had only resorted to the activity out of desperation. At one time she had been a successful college student when she became pregnant. Claude’s father abandoned her before Claude was born, and then Karen struggled for several years to support her son. She had been fired from or quit a series of different jobs over the course of about five years. These jobs ended for various reasons, but most had to do with Karen’s obligations to Claude. Whenever his asthma was acting up or the scheduled babysitter didn’t arrive, Karen was forced to stay home and this made her appear unreliable to her employers. She had no extended family and no partner to help her with the baby.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She struggled financially for a long time and was eventually evicted from her small yellow house with a white picket fence for not being able to pay her rent. One frustration led to another and one day, while walking past the graveyard, she felt herself envying the inhabitants because they didn’t have any problems. It was then she realized that the individuals in the cemetery didn’t have the needs that a living person had and, therefore, had little use for the things buried with them. That night she robbed her first grave. It wasn’t what she wanted to do. It was a job with a flexible schedule and an occasional large payoff. She had never dreamed that Fate would get involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Let’s try walking over the bridge,” she suggested as she started down the sidewalk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You walk, I’ll float,” Jerome replied with a chuckle. “I’m just trying to lighten things up,” he said after Karen didn’t respond to his joke.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Sorry,” she replied politely, “I’m just a little low on sleep right now. I only slept four hours before I got up to head to the graveyard.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“To rob my grave,” he replied with emphasis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I wasn’t planning to rob your grave. It just worked out that way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“And here we are.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Stop finishing my sentences. We’re not telling a story.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Aren’t we?” Jerome smiled, as if having his grave robbed was the best thing that had ever happened to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“No. We’re not together in this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’re the one who entered my grave without permission.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Look,” she said, frustrated, “I didn’t plan on this. I wasn’t looking for it. I’m sure you weren’t looking for me.” Karen turned her head to look at the water. There was a constant lapping noise and slightly fishy smell coming from it. Normally these things would be soothing, but things were different tonight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Actually I was — ”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You were looking for someone else,” she replied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I was avoiding other people,” he explained as they reached the top of the bridge and continued their descent down to the other side. “I didn’t like the looks of those other grave robbers. You were the first woman who’s noticed me in years and I thought you were beautiful.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Are you flirting?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“If I were alive, perhaps,” he replied, “but as it is, I don’t think we could be more than friends.” He continued to ask questions about new roads and buildings until they reached the other side. Instead of answering him, Karen thought about Claude’s smooth, dark hair and how peaceful he looked when he slept, and she wished she was at home with him at that moment so that she could kiss the top of his head. She had never meant to have a child so young. She was planning to get her career started first, and it had been difficult ever since he was born. She wouldn't trade him for her career now. She loved the way his whole face and body laughed when he thought something was funny. He engaged in life and didn’t worry about the things she did, and this helped her to remember what was really important in her life. Even though they were poor and she struggled to keep him fed and clothed, he brought her joy. She felt as if his simple presence in her life added more than the responsibility of parenting took from her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Are you listening?” Jerome asked. He had noticed that her mind had been wandering. “You’re not much of a Ferryman, are you? You can’t even handle one passenger.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“We’ve crossed the river again. Shouldn’t you be gone?” Karen huffed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“If you were doing your job, I would be.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Look, I’m new at this. I’ve never done it before so please don’t insult me,” she said, feeling very tired. The lack of sleep and physical effort of digging up the grave were finally taking a toll on her. Instead, she quietly thought about everything she had ever heard about the Ferryman and tried to come up with something that he was supposed to do that she hadn’t done yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She remembered that the Ferryman carried his passengers in a boat so that they could cross the river Styx and reach the underworld. Perhaps she needed a floating vessel so that the ghost could be a passenger, but then she recalled that she had taken the ghost in her car. It was pretty much the same thing, except that one went across water and one rode over a bridge. Then she wondered if she should somehow try to physically carry the ghost across the river.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“STOP AND LISTEN!” Jerome shouted. “You’re not listening to me! No one has ever listened to me! Not my wife or children or anyone! I spent my whole life talking without being heard.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“And a good part of your death, it seems,” Karen replied with a dismissive tone. She was still in thought about how to be rid of the ghost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’re not listening now. You never even asked my name. I had to tell you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’m sorry,” Karen said after a brief pause, and she meant it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">For the next hour Karen didn’t talk or think about herself or her needs. Instead, she asked Jerome to tell her about himself, and she listened. Karen sat on the cold brick wall at the edge of the walkway that led over the river and she listened, because that was what Jerome needed the most. He just needed someone to listen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He told her his life story and what he had been thinking about while he was alone in that grave for the past two-hundred years. He had a wife named Elizabeth and four children, all girls. He adored his family but often felt outnumbered and overwhelmed by the presence of women. He was also the managing partner of the only store within 50 miles and knew most of the community. The other business partner, Elias Smith, spent most of his time locating inexpensive trading goods in other cities and shipping them to the store. Jerome had been the one who sold these goods to the community, so he knew everyone in town and also knew their problems. There had been no local tavern with a sympathetic barkeep, and a conversation with Jerome when the store was empty was as good as therapy for the residents. He spent most of his life listening to other people’s problems and needs. He had been a friend to everyone but often felt lonely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When he finally appeared to have run out of words she said, “Well, Jerome Brown, it’s time for you to cross the river.” She didn’t know how she knew it would work this time, but she was certain that when Mr. Brown set foot on the other side that his soul would finally go to rest. And it did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">As soon as Jerome stepped off the bridge, his translucent form vanished from the bottom upwards. He tried to say goodbye to Karen as his legs disappeared, but he was gone before the words left his lips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“That wasn’t too bad,” Karen said to herself as she stared into the empty space where the ghost had stood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I gave you an easy one to start with,” Fate said. Karen jumped when she heard the voice and turned to see Fate wearing a three piece pinstriped suit, which still managed to appear very feminine on her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I thought I was paid to carry him across the river. The job is done. I’m going back to my life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You accepted the pay, so you’re the new Ferryman. It’s a full-time job with plenty of customers, and you’re not done until I let you go,” Fate said. “And don’t try to get fired by slacking off or doing a bad job. It doesn’t work that way.” Karen’s first instinct was to challenge Fate, but she wisely decided that this was neither the place nor the time. She needed to get home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Why me?” Karen asked Fate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“It takes a woman to get a job done right. Some men can’t even die properly without the help of a woman.” She looked away as if she had said all that needed to be said, and Karen knew enough not to push for more. Instead, she addressed what she really wanted to know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I got him where he needs to be. I did my job. I want my life back,” Karen said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’re not done,” Fate replied. “You’re done when I’m done with you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“When will that be?” Karen asked, angry and confused.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’ll let you know,” Fate replied and vanished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="FormattedBody" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Karen knew that Fate would return, but she didn’t know where or when. No one does. All Karen knew was that this was the beginning, but of what she didn’t know. As she returned to her car and headed home to check on Claude, she realized that the river was a metaphor. It was never a physical river that Jerome needed to cross. That’s why the crossing had been so difficult. She also understood that while death knew no gender bias, Fate did. While the weight of this last realization intrigued Karen, it also instilled a sense of alarm in her about her future and she felt as if the bridge she was driving over was giving out beneath her, allowing her to tumble into the rapidly moving river below.</span><span lang="en-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 20px;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

Amy Neftzger began writing and publishing for various journals in 1995. Her first fiction book, a collection of short stories called Conversations With the Moon, was published in 2003. Her writing style in this book contained elements of romance and whimsy mixed with more literary passages that engaged audiences. She followed this release with picture book for children called All That The Dog Eve Wanted, which is a story about a dog seeking approval from his owner, a little boy named Cole. The book was designed to to introduce children to jazz music and comes with a jazz CD sampler. Curriculum was also developed to be used along with the book in elementary school classrooms and is available on the publisher’s website <a href="http://fogink.com/2012/12/defining-jazz/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Often being praised for her abilities with wordplay, she has continued to publish fantasy books for middle grade/ young adult readers and literary pieces that sometimes lean more towards the genre of magical realism. She continues to write nonfiction as well as assist other writers and artists in developing their craft through individual mentoring, leading discussion groups, and classes.

<strong>About FALL WITH ME:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.
Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.
But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;">Charlie Hanson has a clear vision of his future. A senior
at Brighton School of Mathematics and Science, he knows he’ll graduate, go to
MIT, and inevitably discover the solutions to the universe’s greatest
unanswerable problems. He’s <i>that</i>
smart. But Charlie’s future blurs the moment he reaches out to touch the tattoo
on a beautiful girl’s neck.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;">The future has never seemed very kind to Charlotte Finch,
so she’s counting on the present. She’s not impressed by the strange boy pawing
at her until she learns he’s a student at Brighton, where her sister has just
taken a job as the English teacher. With her encouragement, Charlie
orchestrates the most effective prank campaign in Brighton history. And in
doing so, he puts his own future in jeopardy.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;">By the time he learns Charlotte is ill—and that the pranks
were a way to distract Ms. Finch from Charlotte’s illness—Charlotte’s
gravitational pull on Charlie is too great to overcome. Soon he must choose
between the familiar formulas he’s always relied on, or the girl he’s falling
for (at far more than 32 feet per second).</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> This is going to be a short review because I don’t want to spoil you all. First so far, thanks to the author for the ARC for an honest review. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I want to start with Charlie, one of the main characters; he’s a really smart boy who studies in a really hard high school for genius people. He’s like obsess with math. I like him, at the beginning Charlie was kind of a jerk, but later on you get to know him better, he was just a little (WAY MORE THAN LITTLE) lost about girls. What I like the most about Charlie is the way numbers and theories and all that stuff is always involved in everything he thinks or says. He’s the kind of boy you want to punch and kiss and punch again and then hug him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Now let’s talk a little about Charlotte, she’s a mysterious girl. What I like about her is that she seems son strong at the beginnings but them she let everything go so fast. I mean girl, the mystery was hot, keep being like that and not start crying when you got the chance. The way she and Charlie start spending time together is really funny, she just can´t find the way out of his damn house, seriously, she becomes the best friend of Charlie’s sister and once she’s inside the house is like she lived there. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I told you friends, I’m not giving you any spoilers.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">This book is a little slow at first, but is such a funny thing to read, I love when Charlie uses mathematic stuff to refer to everything.

They are more like circles.<br />It’s safe to start anywhere and the story will curve its way back to the starting point. Eventually. In other words, it doesn't matter where I begin.

<strong>About BURYING WATER:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The top-selling, beloved indie author of <em>Ten Tiny Breaths </em>returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.
Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And <em>why</em> does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.</div>

Prologue
Jesse
Now
<em> </em>
<em>This can’t be real . . . This can’t be real . . . This can’t be real . . . </em>
The words cycle round and round in my mind like the wheels on my speeding ’Cuda as its ass-end slips and slides over the gravel and ice. This car is hard to handle on the best of days, built front-heavy and overloaded with horsepower. I’m going to put myself into one of these damn trees if I don’t slow down.
I jam my foot against the gas pedal.
I <em>can’t</em> slow down now.
Not until I know that Boone was wrong about what he claims to have overheard. His Russian is mediocre at best. I’ll giveanything for him to be wrong about <em>this.</em>
My gut clenches as my car skids around another turn,the cone shape of Black Butte looming like a monstrous shadow ahead of me in the pre-dawn light. The snowy tire tracks framed by my headlights might not even be the right ones, but they’re wide like Viktor’s Hummer and they’re sure as hell the only ones down this old, deserted logging road. No one comes out here in January.
The line of trees marking the dead end comes up on me before I expect it. I slam on my brakes, sending my car sliding sideways toward the old totem pole. It’s still sliding when I cut the rumbling engine, throw open the door, and jump out, fumbling with my flashlight. It takes three hard presses with my shaking hands to get the light to hold.
I begin searching the ground. The mess of tread marks tells me that someone pulled a U-turn. The footprints tell me that more than one person got out. And when I see the half-finished cigarette butt with that weird alphabet on the filter, I know Boone wasn’t wrong.
“Alex!” My echo answers once . . . twice . . . before the vast wilderness swallows up my desperate cry. With frantic passes of my flashlight, my knuckles white against its body, I search the area until I spot the sets of footprints that lead off the old, narrow road and into the trees.
Frigid fingers curl around my heart.
Darting back to my car, I snatch the old red-and-blue plaid wool blanket that she loves so much from the backseat. Ice-cold snow packs into the sides of my sneakers as I chase the trail past the line of trees and into the barren field ahead, my blood rushing through my ears the only sound I process.
The only sign of life.
Raw fear numbs my senses, the Pacific Northwest winter numbs my body, but I push forward because if . . .
The beam of light passes over a still form lying facedown in the snow. I’d recognize that pink coat and platinum-blond hair of hers anywhere; the sparkly blue dress that she hates so much looks like a heap of sapphires against a white canvas.
My heart freezes.
“Alex.” It’s barely a whisper. I’m unable to produce more, my lungs giving up on me. I run, stumbling through the foot of snow until I’m on my knees and crawling forward to close the distance. A distance of no more than ten feet and yet one that seems like miles.
There’s no mistaking the spray of crimson freckling the snow around her head. Or that most of her long hair is now dark and matted. Or that her silver stockings are torn and stained red, and a pool of blood has formed where her dress barely covers her thighs. Plenty of footprints mark the ground around her. He must have been here for a while.
I know that there are rules to follow, steps to make sure that I don’t cause her further harm. But I ignore them because the sinking feeling in my stomach tells me I can’t possibly hurt her more than he already has. I nestle her head with one hand while I slide the other under her shoulder. I roll her over.
Cold shock knocks the wind out of me.
I’ve never seen anybody look like <em>this.</em>
I scoop her limp body into my arms, cradling the once beautiful face that I’ve seen in every light—rage to ecstasy and the full gamut in between—yet is now unrecognizable. Placing two blood-coated fingers over her throat, I wait. Nothing.
A light pinch against her lifeless wrist.Nothing.
Maybe a pulse does exist but it’s hidden, masked by my own racing one.
Then again, by the look of her, likely not.
One . . . two . . . three . . . plump, serene snowflakes begin floating down from the unseen sky above. Soon, they will converge and cover the tracks, the blood. The evidence.Mother Nature’s own blanket to hide the unsightly blemish in her yard.
“I’m so sorry.” I don’t try to restrain the hot tears as they roll down my cheeks to land on her mangled lips—lips I had stolen plenty of kisses from, back when I was too stupid to realize how dangerous that really was. This is my fault. She had warned me. If I had just listened, had stayed away from her, had not told her how I felt . . .
. . . had not fallen wildly in love with her.
I lean down to steal a kiss even now, the coppery taste of her blood mixing with my salty tears. “I’m so damn sorry. I should never have even looked your way,” I manage to get out around my sobs, tucking the blanket she loved to curl up in over her.
An almost inaudible gasp slips out. A slight breeze against my mouth more than anything else.
My lungs freeze, my eyes glued to her, afraid to hope. “Alex?” Is it possible?
A moment later, a second gasp—a wet, rattling sound—escapes.
She’s not dead.
Not yet, anyway.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText9724061015227894303">Renee "Ren" Miller was five when her Dad left to go to the shops and never came back.<br /><br />Left
to grow up with a cancer riddled mother, things have never been easy
for a teenager who had to be wise beyond her years. Then one day they
lose the battle and she’s all alone.<br /><br />Now twenty-two, Ren
reluctantly goes to find her estranged father. He owns the down and out
boxing studio, Beat, and Ren finds herself drawn to the ring. She
thrives on learning a new way of fighting a life that kept kicking her
down…instead of struggling against the current, she kicks it right
between the legs.<br /><br />Then one day, Ash Fuller, her Dad's star
fighter comes back to town. Mysterious, handsome… Dangerous… Everything
Ren doesn't need.<br /><br />But he's got other ideas…<br /><br />…and so does she.</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You could say a lot of

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Money. Power. Talent.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cash was the driving
factor. Mainly because I was winning it out from under everyone’s noses on a
daily basis by just being good at punching the shit through people. It’s
fucking great to ride high, but there’s always someone right at your heels,
snapping like a rabid beast, waiting for the moment you stumble.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yeah, that’s the thing
about getting a little fame and money - it made everyone below you jealous and
jealous people were willing to do whatever it took to bring you down. They all
wanted the prize and not all of them were up for playing fair to get it. There
were lines you <i>never</i> crossed and that line had been obliterated a long
time ago.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

to get to me and I will fucking kill you.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My Mum would be totally
horrified knowing what I made of my life after she was gone. I lived for her,
to see her win her battle, but in the end she lost. I wasn’t losing this fight.
The fight for my future. How could she argue with that? She always wanted the
best for me, even when she was too sick to move and <i>this</i> is my best.
It’s just that it involves pounding my fists into the flesh of my opponent
until they drop.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Me and my fists. That’s
what would get me through this battle. That’s what would get me onto that

<div style="text-align: center;">
Will the distance tear them apart? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With every difficulty Matt and Abigail have faced since the day they met, they’ve depended on their trust and love in each other to see them through. But what happens when absence becomes their biggest obstacle? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Abigail follows her heart to pursue her career, she is forced to leave Matt behind. Confident that their love is strong enough to withstand the distance put between them, they believe they will soon come back to each other. But when a danger from their past threatens their future, Matt may just lose her forever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their love in one another will be put to the test, and only time will tell if they can truly find their unspoken ending.</div>

<div style="border: 9px groove #e4bf8b; height: 400px; overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“It’s nice to see you again, Abigail.” The sound of his voice sends me back to
that very first day I heard it in my coma. A set of shivers courses through my body
knowing his sole intention is to harm me.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“You shouldn’t be here, Bill. I’d hate to see what would happen if Julio caught
you near me,” I bravely state through clenched teeth while I attempt to control them
from rattling in fear.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Your little bodyguard won’t be coming back soon. I’ve made sure of that.”
The words worry me the instant I absorb them and my body demands I move as I
try to sidestep past Bill, but he lunges forward and fiercely grips my arm. His fingers
forcefully dig into my skin as I continue my attempt to escape, to no avail. My scalp
radiates with pain as he digs his hand into my hair and yanks. With his mouth
brushing up against my cheek, I feel his dirty, warm breath as he says, “The only way
you’re leaving is with me.”
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Fuck you!” I angrily growl.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">He laughs at my exclamation. The eerie feeling of his breath running down
my neck sends an unwelcome shiver down my spine. Grabbing onto his wrist, I try
my best to free myself from his grip, but he tightens his hold, sending another jolt of
pain down my scalp. This time I let out a wail in hopes someone will hear me.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">He strikes my face with the hilt of his gun and I almost black out. “Shut the
fuck up, bitch!” he shouts, tugging again on my head and urging me to walk. I try to
dig my heels into the ground, but it doesn’t do any good and I soon feel something
being shoved into my ribs, urging me forward with another jolt of pain. I already
know it’s the gun digging into my ribs and fear is what motivates me to move.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“We’re leaving this room now. If you try to call out for help, Abigail, I won’t
hesitate to pull the trigger,” he proclaims while shoving it deeper into my side,
making me whimper from the pain.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">My worst nightmare has come true. The fear of Bill finding me again is now a
reality. Every precaution I took to keep safe seems worthless at this point as he
drags me to the door. When he opens it, Charlie, the slimly little intern, is guarding
it.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Is it clear?” Bill asks him. He answers with a nod and Bill wraps his arm
around my waist, but keeps the gun pointed at my ribs with the other. The feeling of
his body next to mine disgusts me. His smell making my stomach churn and
revulsion now replaces my fear.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Keep moving,” Bill orders.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Why are you doing this?” I desperately ask as I’m left no choice but to start
walking again. “Please, Bill. If it’s money you want, I’ll give it all to you. Just let me
go,” I plead while trying to hold back my tears.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Oh, that’s exactly what you’re going to do, Abigail,” he says, vengeance
evident in his tone.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">With every step, my eyes scan for the perfect escape, but I’m left defeated
when we near the exit. He removes the gun, places it into the waistband of his pants
and pushes the door open. In that split second, I make my move. Lifting my foot, I
stab him in the shin with the heel of my shoe. He releases a howl and loosens his
grasp. I don’t hesitate to turn and slam my knee into his groin. As if expecting it, he
blocks my hit and the only contact I make is his thigh. He reaches for me and wraps
his hand into my dress, but it is a mistake. I slam my fist into his face; the contact
shoots a bolt of pain up my arm, but it frees me again and this time I run. Or at least
attempt to; the five-inch heels I have on severely slow me down. It allows Bill the
opportunity to catch up to me and grab a hold of my hair again, but I don’t give up
and continue to fight his grip.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">It’s then I hear footsteps running towards me and my body is pulled free
from Bill’s grasp as someone punches his face. Looking to see who’s come to my
rescue, I see Julio struggling as Matt pulls me away.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“He hit you,” he says as his fingers gently touch my cheek. The contact makes
me wince in pain as I remember that Bill struck me there.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I’m fine,” I say before we hear a grunt.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Julio is holding Bill with his arm around his neck and he’s struggling for air. A
feeling of relief courses through me until I see Bill reach down into his pants where
his gun is nestled into his waistband. Time freezes when I see him point the gun in
our direction.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">My eyes stay locked onto his finger as he slowly pulls the trigger, my life
flashing before my eyes: The day I had my first memory of Matt, leading to the day I
went knocking on his door the first time. Next, the day Matt told me he loved me and
chose me in our bathroom. The day he proposed and I had foolishly turned him
down, regretting that choice at this moment. The day I drove away from him, having
to wait to see him again. But most importantly, the day he said the words that will
stay in my heart forever... even after I die.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">“I don’t know what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours, but whatever it is,
it brought you to me, which makes you mine now, and I always protect what’s mine,
Abigail.”
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The sound of the gun firing rings in my ear as I feel myself falling to the
ground. Someone screams my name in the background as my back slams into the
floor. My head is pounding with pain as it makes contact and my breath is
completely taken from my lungs. </span></div>

There isn’t anything exciting about me, besides having a uniquely spelled name….</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, it’s spelled Gabbie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m a mom first, a wife second, and then a crazy girl who won’t hesitate to take on a challenge. That’s how I found my passion for writing. My daughter challenged me to write a book, and I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was born and raised in Southern California. I live with my wonderful husband, two amazing kids and a senior citizen kitty named Tigger. When I’m not writing you can find me reading or sneaking off for a run. Some might say it’s a crazy life, but I wouldn’t change anything about it.</div>

Sixteen-year-old Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortals—learning to control the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by completing a secret mission: </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText7407987716548971197">Sloan Smith built a wall
around his broken heart. After his ex-girlfriend crushed him, he threw
himself into the only thing that mattered: his future.<br /><br />Sloan’s
life consisted of two things: the gym and sleep. The discipline it took
to build his physique and push himself further than ever was worth it.
Until his twin brother Sebastian presented him with a job, he couldn’t
refuse. The money he would make with Divine Services would help him
enter as many Body Building competitions as he could and help him reach
his goal of being on stage in Vegas, sooner. <br /><br />Katelynn Ashton,
the only girl he cared about, couldn’t have chosen a worse time to admit
her feelings for him. No matter how Sloan felt about her, he wouldn’t
start a relationship with her while he was a Pool Boy.</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">I am not looking forward to tonight. We are meeting Madame Elleanor
and Kyle, an old high school buddy of ours, at a small, local bar. My dipshit
of a brother found us a <i>job</i>; well,
two actually. Elleanor owns a pool cleaning service that is more like a front
for an escort service. Sebastian begged me to go to this meeting and keep an
open mind about joining their businesses. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">I need the money. I have bodybuilding competitions coming up and
could use the money for registration. I began getting involved in the
bodybuilding scene during my junior year of high school but, at twenty-three,
this will be my first year to compete. I have packed on close to twenty-five
pounds of muscle since graduating. It is hard work and takes a lot of
discipline, but is well worth it. Someday, I will be on the stage in Las Vegas
competing for Mr. Olympia. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Sebastian squeals the tires as we round a corner. Pulling into the
parking lot, I see Kyle’s beat up old Dodge parked three spots in. Back at,
Ashlane High, Kyle Ashton was a senior when we were freshman. Sebastian ran
into him, again, a few months ago and they had been hanging out together ever
since. Kyle bartended at Eric’s, the bar were we just parked. Even though the
bar is in the heart of San Jose, it is chill. I’ve been here my fair share of
times. There are many regulars and TV’s to watch sports. The older jukebox
still sounds good and isn’t insanely loud, like at a club. It is the perfect
spot to have this meeting and discuss our new adventure. <i>Yeah, right!</i> Ok, maybe adventure isn’t the right word, more like
fornication.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Sebastian pulls me out of my mental conversation by flinging my door
open. “Dude, Slo, get out of the damn car.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US">Fuck! </span></i><span lang="EN-US">I don’t want to do this. My brother had better realize he owes me. I
step out of the car, straighten my button-down shirt, and mess with the sleeves
I have rolled up to the elbow. “Fine. Let’s do this. But you, asshole, you owe
me big!”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">I follow him inside the dark bar, rounding a sharp corner and head
for the bar along the far wall. I quickly scan the area and see it is nearly
dead. Two older guys occupy one booth and a young woman sitting at the bar,
alone, talking to the bartender. The place always smells of smoke and mildew,
even though you haven’t been able to smoke in restaurants or bars for years.
Sebastian marches ahead of me to the farthest, darkest, corner in the bar. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">In the circular booth, Kyle sits next to a woman who couldn’t have
been much older than we are. I take Elleanor in before we fully reach them. She
is wearing a dark business suit and has her straw colored hair pulled back,
neatly. She looks prim and proper, especially with the librarian glasses that
sit on the tip of her nose as she reads over some paperwork. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">“Hey, guys!” Kyle announces. Miss Prim and Proper pops her head up.
Elleanor takes in every inch of Bash before shifting her eyes to me. Her thin
lips twitch, but remain tightly sealed. Her left eyebrow quirks, drawing my
attention to her ice blue eyes. If she didn’t look like such a bitch, she could
be pretty. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">“Ky, you didn’t mention they were twins.” Her high-pitched voice
sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. I couldn’t do this. This chick is
irritating the shit out of me, already. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Kyle shrugs. “Didn’t think it mattered.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">As we sit down, the waitress brings over a margarita, two beers and
a coke. Lifting one of the beers to my lips, I take a long pull from the
bottle. Elleanor sips her drink and then starts talking, again. “I operate two
businesses under one name. If I hire you, you will be required to work for both
entities. Devine Pool Services and Devine Male Escorts. I don’t know how much
Ky has told you about me, or my businesses, so I will explain how this works.
That way there is no miscommunication.” </span></span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 7.2pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">I don’t know what she wants from us at this moment, but she continues
to wait, looking at us expectantly. I finally nod. “Got it.”</span></span></span></div>

</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Clearing her throat, she hands us each a packet. “The pool business
is legit and you will be cleaning pools. However, each house on your route has
a female in need of a companion. Most of the time they are just looking for
someone to talk to—lonely housewives, widowed younger woman, and occasionally
they will request your presence at some function or another.”</span></span></span></div>

Awesome!” Bash belts out next me, relaxing into the back of the booth and taking
in what he wants to hear from our boss.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN-US">“No. Sex is up to you. As far as what you are required from me, you
will find a list on the second page of your packet. But, what I just stated
pretty much sums it up. Companionship. These women are looking for a companion.
With that being said, I do suggest you figure out pricing for your
extracurricular activities, as they do ask for them. The price for that is up
to you, with me getting a portion. All of this is covered in your handbooks. </span></span></span></div>

but these ladies probably are dirtier than street hookers are. I don’t need my junk
falling off; besides, I don’t think I can do this. If it’s just talking and
hanging out with them after cleaning their pool, okay, maybe. Nope. I can’t,
I’m going to have to bail on Sebastian. When we get home, I’m telling him I
can’t do it.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dalton Calhoun hadn’t always planned on a life up on the big stage, beneath the bright lights, but that was where he found himself. A second chance of sorts. An opportunity that had come along after his real dreams vanished when he was eighteen years old. Although country music was more than he could’ve expected, he’d never dismissed the notion that there was still something missing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Dalton followed his buddy Cooper Krenshaw to Devil’s Bend, Texas, it didn’t take long before Dalton realized just what that was. But just because he has topped the country music charts, and made his fair share of women swoon, doesn’t mean that everything comes easy to him. And when he sets his sights on the black-haired, gray-eyed waitress at The Rusty Nail, Dalton realizes he might just have to work for what he wants. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Katie Clarren’s life has been a series of unfortunate events, starting from the time her mother left on her eighteenth birthday. Not exactly how she had planned to spend one of the major turning points in her young life. Nor had she planned to spend the next five years dealing with the fallout. Somewhere along the way, Katie adapted, doing exactly what she needed to do in order to survive. But Katie has secrets that even her closest friends don’t know. Secrets she has worked hard to protect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although she longs for handsome, charming, country music sensation, Dalton Calhoun, she knows that anything that starts between them can’t last. Too bad her heart doesn’t seem to be on the same page. Katie gives in to her love for Dalton, needing that human connection that has been missing for so long. But when it comes time to make the hard decisions, Katie forces herself to walk away from him. To protect her secrets, and him. The last thing she wants to do is hurt Dalton, no matter how much pain she has to endure in the process. She loves him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can the two of them overcome the secrets and lies? Can they look to the future and stop living in the past? Or will they keep dwelling on the dreams that vanished, not seeing what is right in front of them? Each other.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards launched her professional writing career in July of 2012. Having been an avid reader all of her life and a huge fan of creative writing, it seemed the likely path for her to take. Since then, she has released fifteen books and has no plans to stop. As her full-time career/hobby, Nicole writes steamy contemporary and erotic romances.<br />
<br />
Nicole is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who was born and raised in Texas. Married with three kids and four dogs, she has plenty of interaction to keep her imagination brewing. Her books have been featured in USA Today’s Happy Ever After segment as well as Indie Reader’s best seller list. She has forged her way as an independent author. <br />
<br />
Although she has a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, she prefers to be hiding out in her writing cave, talking to the fictional characters that have built up in her head over the years. <br />
<br />
When she isn’t writing or plotting her next book (sometimes translated to “playing on Facebook”), Nicole loves to read and spend time with her family and her dogs. </div>

“Jacob Phillips was my first best friend.
I was his first love.
We shared our first kiss together.
He broke my heart.”
Sage Weston and Jacob Phillips met as children at Little Kitty Orphanage. They had the type of friendship that could weather any storm and they vowed that they would always be there for each other. And then Jacob was adopted, and everything changed. At first the letters were fast and furious but then they stopped and Sage was left all alone.
Four years later, Sage and Jacob bump into each other at a university party. Sparks fly, daggers are drawn and Sage wants nothing to do with Jacob or the bevvy of women that seem to follow him everywhere he goes. Then Sage loses a bet, and she can no longer avoid Jacob. Though she does everything she can to let him know that they are no longer friends.
But Jacob has plans, and is determined for Sage to know the truth about what happened four years ago, even if it costs him everything.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prelude </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TEN YEARS AGO I fell in love with a boy. All it took was one sideways grin with his perfectly dimpled cheek for me to know I was a goner. My days and nights were consumed by him—if not physically, he was there mentally—always on my mind. I loved him with everything within me. The love we shared was the kind I thought would stand the test of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone says your first true love isn't in fact true, but more of a fling. That epic love comes from enduring every facet of life with that person. Rather it be happiness, sadness, loss, gain—you can't truly love someone until it's been tested. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one day in a blink of an eye, the boy I loved was ripped from me. My overly religious parents didn't like their daughter falling in love so young. It was simply unacceptable to them when I was supposed to focus on God, school, my future and nothing else. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was my future and when they ripped my future away, I rebelled. I was barely showing by time graduation rolled around. Thank God, because I would have surely been an outcast at my new school. Not to mention what would have happened if my parents would have found out. There was no way I was letting them get their hands on the last thing I had of the boy I loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eighteen, pregnant and sitting at the bus station, I found a friend. One that took me under his wing and I grew to love. It was then I realized the different types of love. He was everything I needed when I had nothing. I love him for the life he has brought me when every option I had was filled with uncertainty. I will forever be in his debt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ten years later, I ran into the boy I had loved, yet he's no longer a boy. He's a man. A deeply wounded man. Even though the flesh on his outside is still fully intact, nothing compares to the scars and pain he's carried around on the inside for so long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ten years later and I still have the same feelings for him...but they seem so much more intense. Was my first love my one true love? Now that he’s reappeared in my life, my thoughts are consumed by him. But, now they are paralleled with guilt. I love two men, but I love them differently. And, as of right now, I only know one for sure loves me back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m caught between what’s wrong and what’s right…what’s fair and what’s unjust. I know what my heart wants, but is what it wants, what’s right? Feelings can cloud moral judgment. I don’t want what I feel to take over what I know to be right. But, I’m having a hard time sorting out the differences. I’m walking an emotion packed tight rope, and I know I’m going to fall. I’m just unsure who’s going to catch me.</div>

Being born an "Army Brat", Erika Ashby has been residing in Oklahoma the last 10 years finally putting an end to the nomad tendencies she had grown accustomed to. She's a happily married woman who has 5 kids between her and her husband. She has an insane passion for music and a sweet spot for drummers. It wasn't until the age of 29 that she realized she also had a hidden passion for reading; before then she claimed to have hated it. Six months after unlocking that deep desire she never knew she held, she turned the key to another chapter of her life which has become the desire to write. And the rest is still history in the making.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Do you know that feeling when a knife is in your heart, twisting and turning? Do you know what it’s like to have a car run you over a million times? That’s how I’m feeling. Rage builds in me and, instead of screaming and yelling, I sit in front of Larry, numb and frozen.<br />
<br />
“I can’t do this, Larry. I’m fucking human, you know? I have feelings!”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He brings me into his arms and tries to calm me down. “I know and that’s what I told him.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I can’t give Nicholas what he needs, even though it’s what I truly want. I refuse to break up his marriage and be the one that he uses to escape from Jamie. If something is up and he’s doing this because she’s manipulating him, then that’s a different story and I’ll beg him to leave her. I don’t know the whole story and I’m not sure if I even will get the story. A little voice in my head keeps screaming at me to fight for the man I love. But I don’t know if that’s the right answer.<br />
<br />
“I’m gonna go lie down. Thanks for the coffee,” I mutter.<br />
<br />
Back in my room, in my safety area, I place the steaming cup of coffee on my nightstand and lie down, facing the balcony.<br />
<br />
Tearing away from the sun rising, I force my mind back to sleep. It’s been the longest few nights without Nicholas. I don’t know where to go or what to do. I can’t forget him. Every time I close my eyes, I see his eyes, his smile; I see everything. My chest fills with ache. Sitting here crying over him while everyone else is living kills me. The fight in me is slowly going away. Unable to stand the silence I open my music app on my phone and play a song I haven’t heard in a few weeks - our song. It plays over and over again so I can remember our dance and how I felt when he was holding me. Everything feels heavy and miserable. I scream into my pillow and pray that I can be taken away. I don’t care if we weren't together for a long time. When it comes to love, there’s no measurement in time. It’s how love makes you feel and it made me feel whole. I’d give anything to feel that way again.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">I married a douchebag. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">It's my own fault, really. He came in like a handsome stranger and blew
me off my feet. I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">Then he left me high and dry.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire
playboy, Marcus Tandem. He needed to be married to obtain his
grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path. I thought
we had something real, I believed it was special until the truth reared
its ugly head.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">Five years on and my life has been a struggle. Left with nothing, I've
had to work myself into the ground to clean up my debts and take care of
my sick mother, as well as trying to divorce a man that refuses contact
with me.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">Five years is a lot of time to plot the perfect revenge.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">What my dear husband didn't count on, is that fact that I was smarter
than I looked. After all, what married couple doesn't take out a life
insurance policy? If he dies. I get five million dollars.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">Of course, Marcus doesn't know about it.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">One drunken night just after I
left made sure of that.
My mother is unwell, she can't pay for treatment. And I'm a bitter
woman. I've been the joke of Marcus Tandem for five years while I've
formed the perfect plan. Now it's my turn.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">I have to kill him.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">Oh yes, Marcus will pay for what he did.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">I made a vow before God, that I would be by his side 'Til death do we
part.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="null">I plan to keep that vow.</span></span></span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Working in the homicide division of the Detroit Police Department, has made Angelo Baldoni, a third generation officer, pretty much immune to the depths of depravity seen in his years on the force. When a young woman is brutally murdered, the case of Hope Cooper can change the course of his life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope, an outgoing young woman with everything going for her, lost it all the night that she was faced with the vicious eyes of a murderer. Stuck in limbo, Hope is confused and scared, trying to right the wrong done to her. Able to visit people in their dreams, Hope latches onto Angelo in hopes he can catch her killer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Angelo was raised with a strong belief in the afterlife and the dreams of Hope don’t go unnoticed. With the help of his partner, Bobby, he aims to catch the killer before he strikes again. However, a cold case causes Angelo's past to merge with Hope’s case.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will he keep his feelings at bay to find the murderer? Or will it be too late?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I hate this ankle biting Yorkie as much as I hate its owner. If I could, I’d get rid of this
client, but any business is good business right? I own a mobile pet grooming company, Squeaky
Clean, and so far it’s doing well. But today I’m thanking everything that’s holy that as soon as I
drop off Jeanie Costa’s Yorkshire terrier, I’m done for the day.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I usually enjoy walking the dogs down Hines Drive because it's one of the last truly
beautiful areas left in the Detroit area. After everything that’s happened, I’m always looking
over my shoulder because feel like I’m being watched. Hines Drive doesn’t calm me like it
usually does, and I find myself rushing the dog so we can get out of here. With the sound of
footsteps behind me, fear settles in my soul causing me to start pulling the dog along.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">“</span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Oh my God, will you just pee already!” I scream at the dog when it stops for the
millionth time. Fear hits me full force and I’m about to just pick up the damn dog and run when
Gigi growls as a large, calloused hand grips my shoulder and spins me around. I swing my arms,
trying like hell to strike my attacker but hit nothing but air. As soon as I recognize him, anger
quickly replaces fear.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Fuck! You scared me half to death!”
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I’m sorry, Hope. I didn’t mean to startle you,” he says, looking away.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“What are you doing in this area anyway? You don’t live around here.” The hair on the
back of my neck is standing up and a frisson of disquiet travels down my spine. I mean, what
are the odds that he’d be on the same street as me, when neither of us lives in this area?
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I can’t wait any longer,” he whispers.

<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“What?” I choke out, uneasiness creeping into my gut. I look around and realize there is
not a single person or car in sight. </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Smart move, Hope. Put yourself in a dangerous situation by
not paying attention to your surroundings.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I’m done waiting for you.” He lunges toward me, the black metal butt of a pistol
gripped in his raised hand. He hits me on the head with such force that I actually see stars and
feel incredible pain shoot through my temple. The momentum of the blow makes me think my
brain shifted in my skull. I stumble backward and the last thing I see is Gigi biting my attacker’s
leg.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">As I regain consciousness, I’m petrified when I can’t see my surroundings. When my
eyes adjust to the dimly lit room, it becomes evident that I’m no longer outside, and I’ve been
hogtied.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I can feel the bile rise in the back of my throat as I glance around the room. The painted
walls are yellowed and peeling. An old, battered wooden chair is nearby, and a dented bucket
sits off in the corner. It’s the mattress that does me in, stained from top to bottom with a piss-
covered top that reeks of decay. I take a few deep breaths and swallow back the rising vomit in
my throat.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">It’s finally happened, that psycho finally kept his promises. </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">As my heart and breathing
quicken, I’m too scared to think straight. I force myself to take calming breaths so I can try and
figure out how to get out of here. I try to get a better idea of my location, but all that’s visible is
a window, most of the glass covered with boards.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">A loud shattering sound echoes from the next room, reminding me that I’m not alone.
Pretending that I’m still out, I hear heavy footsteps approaching and I sense my stalker standing
over me. He bends down and runs his fingers through my hair in an intimate gesture.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I’ve loved you forever, Hope, I wish you could see that.” He grabs a handful of my hair
and seeing me wince seems to piss him off. Apparently realizing I was faking, he pulls me by my
hair to the edge of the mattress and slams my head to the floor. It makes a sickening “thud”
sound as it hits followed by an instant, nauseating throbbing. Warm liquid, probably my blood,
drips down the side of my face into my mouth. The metallic taste fuels my fear—and my anger.
I thrash against the bindings in an attempt to free myself but only manage to cause the filthy
rope to dig deeper into my wrists and ankles, leaving me raw and bleeding.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I waited so long for you, baby, but you never gave me a chance. I do so many nice
things for you, and you don’t even have the manners to say thank you.” He turns to look at me,
venom in his eyes. I stop struggling as I shake my head to try and clear my thoughts and
possibly ease the throbbing. I hope that my fear is not evident to him.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Deep breaths, Hope, you’ve to get a grip if you want live.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I’m sorry I didn’t know it was you. Why didn’t you tell me?”
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“What difference does it make? You don’t give a shit either way.” He starts to pace and
seems to become more agitated. He fists his hands into his dark hair, pulling on the ends. I
twist my left wrist, wincing in pain from rope digging into my abraded flesh, but I feel the rope
slowly giving way. Every time he glances in my direction, I freeze as my fear creeps higher up.
I’m praying he doesn’t notice what I’m doing.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I never wanted it to end this way, but you have left me with no other choice. I can’t
keep watching you every day, knowing you won’t be mine.” He stops pacing to look at me. He
pulls a roll of duct tape out of his jacket pocket as he saunters over to me twirling the roll
around his finger with an evil smirk on his face.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Please don’t do this.” Tears are streaming down my face. “I’ll do anything you want.
Please. I’m sorry, I didn’t know sooner; let me make it up to you.” I try to sound genuine but
fear overcomes me and my words sound shaky and unsure.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“MAKE IT UP TO ME?” he yells. “It’s too late for empty promises, Hope; just shut the
fuck up. I won’t listen to your bullshit anymore.” Before I can even open my mouth, he slaps me
in the face so hard my head whips back. The sound of my neck cracking reverberates
throughout the room. The force of the blow causes my jaw to clamp down so hard I bite into
my tongue, the blood pooling in my mouth.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">He kneels down to get eye level with me, and I spit the mixture of blood and saliva in his
face. “You bitch!” He rises up and wipes his face. Finally pulling a hand free, I punch him as hard
as I can in the groin. Grabbing his crotch, he falls sideways with a loud groan, writhing in pain.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Frantically kicking my legs free, knowing my life depends on getting away, I run to the
door, throw it open and come face to face with complete darkness. My heart racing, I pick a
direction and pray it’s the right one.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Hope, get back here!” he yells.

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I dodge into a room as he stumbles out, crashing into a table causing him to yell in pain.
“Where the fuck are you? When I find you, so help me God, you’ll be sorry, bitch,” he growls. I
look around the moonlit room and spot what looks like a small closet. I get in, moving the nasty,
ratty clothing that still hangs there aside and close the door behind me. I press myself up
against the wall, the only sounds my heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“I know you’re here, you can’t hide from me, you stupid slut.” His voice gets louder and I
know he’s only seconds from entering the room I’m in. My panic reaches new heights as I push
myself to the back of the closet and close my eyes like a child. If I can’t see him then he can’t
see me...right? Suddenly the door flies open and I cover my mouth to silence my scream.
Grabbing the first limb he sees, he yanks my battered body from the small enclosure, knocking
the wind out of me as my back slams against the hardwood floor.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Ah ha, gotcha bitch,” he laughs. “Now it’s time to pay for being such a whore and
teasing me all the time.” He places his foot on my neck, holding me in place while I gasp for air.
He jerks my arms behind my back nearly dislocating my shoulder. My struggling doesn’t deter
him and he ties the ropes tighter than he did the first time.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“Just stop fighting this, Hope.” When I continue to try and get free, he sneers and
punches me in the face. Blood gushes from my nose, mixing with the dark pools that flow from
my mouth and head. My face throbs and my tongue burns from the salt in my tears as he
finishes his work, quickly leaving me totally at his mercy. He pulls a switchblade out of his
scuffed combat boot and flicks it open. He slowly drags the double edged blade lightly up my
body, stopping when the cold steel touches my cheek, smearing the blood that has continued
to run down my face. Closing my eyes tightly, I pray he won’t use it but I silently begin to say my
goodbyes.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“You are so beautiful Hope. I could’ve given you the world. Can you not see how much I
love you, what you mean to me? Do you know how bad it hurts watching you from afar when
you should have been mine? DO YOU?” His breathing becomes more ragged as he shoves the
knife under my shirt. I hold my breath, knowing where this is going. He cuts through my shirt,
the knife razor-sharp, then makes quick work of my bra, leaving me naked from the waist up.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">“You. Are. Mine. Hope. I believe it’s finally time to take what’s mine.” I start to struggle
against the ropes until I feel the edge of the knife at my throat. “Move again, slut, and I will cut
your throat end to end and watch the life drain from your body.” </span></div>

<strong>AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME Synopsis:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most people dream about getting out of Sharon, Nebraska, but after three years away, Lauren Barrett is coming home. There are the justifications she gives to everyone else—missing her family, losing her college scholarship. And then there’s the reason Lauren can’t admit to anyone: Rob Conrad, her best friend’s older brother.
Football prowess and jaw-dropping good looks made Rob a star in high school. Out in the real world, his job and his relationships are going nowhere. He can’t pinpoint exactly what’s missing until Lauren comes back to town, bringing old feelings and new dreams with her. But he’s the guy that women love and leave—not the one who makes them think of forever.
Though she’s terrified of opening up, Lauren’s ready to take that chance. Because the only thing more important than figuring out where you truly belong is finding the person you were meant to be with. </div>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom was asleep, so I checked my email. I had the usual spam, plus notes from all my former roomies, which made me happy. I missed all of them, even Max, though things were unspeakably awkward between us at the end. I opened Nadia’s first:
LB! You know I miss you like crazy, right? Courtney’s in your bed right now, and she has completely alphabetized my books. I’m pretty sure there will be a lending library program implemented the next time I get home from work. So how’s Nebraska? Did you find a job yet? Have you started applying to any schools? I have like ten more questions but you’ll get grumpy if I dump them on you all at once. Hug and kiss my family for me, okay? Write back soon or I’m sending my brother to track you down.
She didn’t mention the hot single dad she’d broken up with right before I left. Mr. Hot Ginger had dumped Nadia for her own good, which would drive her quietly crazy. I’d felt horrible about the timing, but there was little I could do about it. I hadn’t gotten to know him well before I left, but Ty seemed like a good guy. He was only a few years older than us, but already had a four-year-old. That was the crux of the conflict.
Writing back, I didn’t quite nail the tone, talking about Rob too much and inventing interesting anecdotes because there was so little going on. I could’ve mentioned Krista, but Nadia had never been as close to her, and there was some tension by the time she moved. Mostly I didn’t want Nadia to worry; things would be fine once I got a job and had less time to fret about whether I’d made the right decision.
I opened Angus’s email next:
Hey, you. Got your check. It appears not to be rubber, but I said you didn’t have to pay me back. I hate you for leaving. Come back right now. I’ll wait. This is me, waiting. It’s been at least five minutes. You’re shattering my faith in humanity, Lauren. Take responsibility for it! Not sure what you’ve heard from Nadia, but she’s such a hot mess. I can’t believe you abandoned us. All the light has left my life. All of it! Okay, enough drama. I’m working on getting over Josh. Classes suck but I will survive. (You’re singing it now, aren’t you?)
“Damn you, Angus Starr. You know me too well.” I got up on my bed with a hairbrush and sang two verses before reading on.
In all seriousness, there is a Lauren-sized hole in my life. Please don’t lose touch. Write soon. Love and hugs, Angus.
It was simpler writing back to Angus; our friendship was sweet and uncomplicated. Briefly I considered deleting Max’s email without opening it, but that seemed like an asshole move. In the end, I read it, two lines only:
I’m sorry about everything. Take care of yourself.
