BOOK SUMMARY:
When it all comes crashing down...
Everything I thought I had with Austin Murphy—safety, stability, the
normalcy I crave but my celebrity lifestyle rarely allows—was ripped away in
one night. I wanted to surprise him, but the joke was on me. Now I don't know
if I ever really knew him at all.
Someone has to pick up the
pieces...
Mackenzie Forbes was everything I ever wanted and the one person I
didn't deserve. When a past mistake costs me the girl I love, I'll do
everything I can to get her back. We both have demanding careers and family
secrets darkening our pasts, but I need Mackenzie in my future.
Sometimes everything you have to give
just isn't enough...

New Adult Contemporary Romance
One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas
BOOK SUMMARY:
Quinn and James' Story Continues in Chasing
Me...
It was supposed to be a love story....
I knew she
was out of my league but I didn’t care. Looking back, I wonder if I hadn’t
pursued her, would things have turned out differently? Is it Fate that
determines our choices in life? God? Free will? Or just plain old innate
selfishness?
I got her,
of course. There hadn’t been a girl I wasn’t able to seduce. Problem was she
seduced me right back, body, mind, and soul. She possessed me, tormented me,
and showed me a world that was so bright and pure I was almost blinded.
Didn’t
she know after such a drug I could never settle for less? Didn’t she realize no
matter how many times I screwed up, or broke her heart, or bent her to my will,
I’d never be able to let her go?
If I
hadn’t known such intensity existed, would it have been better for both of us?
True love,
the real kind, isn’t nice and sweet and pure. No, it’s dirty, and sinful, and
messy. It’s like ripping a chunk of flesh from your body and watching yourself
bleed out in slow, helpless intervals until you thankfully pass out.
This isn’t a love story. But it’s the only story
I got.

Finding You by Jenna

New Adult Contemporary Romance
One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas
BOOK SUMMARY:
Sex
on the Beach, the do-over.
I had a simple plan for what to do in Key West the
second time around.
Testify at the trial of the rapist I helped catch last
year.
Make sure he gets locked away for the rest of his
natural life, so he can never, ever hurt another girl.
Wait for my BFFs to get to town, so we can celebrate.
And stay far away from Ty Connor, because three months
after breaking up with him, I still don’t know whether being with him is worse
than being without him.
Spring
Break, take two.
All of the above? Out the window.
Turns out testifying is a lot harder than I thought it
would be.
Not only is the rapist I helped catch last year
not locked away for the rest of his life, he’s on the loose and looking for me.
Oh yeah, and it’s definitely harder being
without Ty than being with him, especially when I have to watch him with
someone else.
Welcome to my world.

CHASING ME by Jennifer Probst
My hero, James. He likes to tell himself being rich solved all of his problems, but deep down, he's been one of the loneliest heroes I've ever written.
2. How do you get enough story in a novella length story?
Carefully! It's an art trying to get the reader all the important information and the dynamics of the relationship in a tight space. But I love novellas and the shorter versions of story!
3. What's your favorite trope to write or read?
Marriage of convenience!!!
LOSING US by Jen McLaughlin
1. Pick one of your characters and tell me something about them that we don't learn from the book.
--Mackenzie used to be scares of the dark. It’s why she’s so nervous when the lights go out in LOSING US, but she tries to keep her cool. It’s also why she lights tons of candles, which Austin notices in his POV in the book.
2. How do you get enough story in a novella length story?
--It’s all about condensing! You have to keep the heart of the book—the struggle and love—close to the core, and make sure you don’t branch away from it. You have to keep concise and to the point—no wondering thoughts. Beyond that, you’re good to go!
3. What's your favorite trope to write or read?
--Best friends little sister. I love, love, love it! Especially when the protective older brother finds out. ;)
Thanks again for having me here!
