Okay, I promised you the cover for A Summer to Remember from my new series, Seasons of Love & Lust since I don't plan to do a cover reveal. Here it is!
What follows is a teaser from one of the many chapters I have written. It is almost a third of the way finished and with luck, I plan to release it before the end of April or the early part of May. Enjoy!
Excerpt
Paul’s crystal blue eyes stared into mine deeply
and he shouldn’t have done that. My heart beat so fast, I could feel moisture
gather in my most intimate areas and my sex was literally on fire. Everything
about him turned me on but it wasn’t something I wanted because I was lonely. I
wanted him and it didn’t seem right or fair that we both couldn’t have what we
wanted.
However, I didn’t know if he really wanted me.
Was he just saying this stuff to make me feel better and smooth over tensions?
He’d been a family friend for as long as I could remember and maybe he just
thought of me as a “little sister” he had to protect as much as Jude.
“Um, who ever said anything about marriage?” he inquired politely. “Ashley
is a great woman but I don’t know if I am cut out to be the marrying type. I
like my freedom way too much and although she is perfect, I don’t think she is
for me.”
“Then why are you still with her?” I yelled
back.
“Because you’re unavailable,” he responded. “I’m
not talking about what Jude and I have discussed about you and how he doesn't want me being with you because I am like a brother to him. I mean,
emotionally, you’re not ready to handle anything and if I knew what Kevin truly
did to you, I would murder him myself. It’s been two years and you have been a
completely different person. You sleep with men you don’t give a shit about and
you act like love and life don't mean anything to you. Are you going to stand there
and tell me this all goes back to what happened to you at Vassar?”
“It may not be pretty or politically correct but
it’s the truth.” I took a step back from him and he naturally let go of my arm.
“Then open up to me and tell me what happened.”
To be continued...
I hope you enjoyed this week's tease because more is still to come. Until then, please visit all the other great women who participate in the Teaser blog each week. Don't forget to enter my contest which is now going on through the end of April since Atonement will be featured on Bookbub towards the end of next month. Happy Easter and have a wonderful Sunday!

Great Cover! It's beautiful. And I love the girl falling for her older brother's friend!
Thanks, Bethany. I don't expect to get many comments with this being Easter but I appreciate you stopping by!

The cover is lovely. I, too, love stories with older brother's friends.
I love a guy who tells it straight! Great tension between the two of them :)
Oh, and nice cover. I like the filtered effect.
Thanks, ladies, for commenting. Christie, the cover was done by Stephanie Nelson. I loved it from the moment I saw it and the idea of the series came to me after I saw the cover. Lol!
Elle C.
Oh, yes. I love this teaser, I love the cover! I hope you do get it released in the time you hope because it sounds like it'll be a perfect summer read.
Now I want to know what happened at Vassar! Can't wait to read this one! I can already tell the characters are going to be awesome!
Love the cover! (Once upon a time covers????)
Andrea, I will let you know now what happened at Vassar is heartbreaking but it doesn't include rape or assault. However, it is still very difficult and has ruined Jerrica in a lot of ways.
My cover is from Once Upon A Time Covers and yes, Stephanie Nelson designed it. She's great, isn't she?
Elle C.
Great cover! And now I need to know what happened to her. She obviously doesn't trust guys anymore.
