Synopsis

Love believes in second chances. Francis Heller lives with two truths. Love hurts and beauty is only skin deep. With midnight black hair, moss-colored eyes, and traceable curves, Fran is the picture of beauty and confidence...on the outside. But deep down she is tormented. Not just by the jagged scars that line her body, but by the horrible memories that cloud her mind and haunt her dreams. The ones that make her want to flee from herself and from the devastating pain. The ones that cause her to placate herself with sex. Anything to make her forget. But for Fran, there's nowhere to hide from the darkness that swallows her whole. Matt Dixon is the gorgeous brother of her best friend's fiancĂ©e. He's suffered losses of his own and isn't willing to let anyone in until his unexpected encounter with Fran Heller, the girl who challenges him and causes him to take a second look, not only at her, but at his own life. But Matt has scars of his own. Together can they help each other discover that second chances really do exist? That love doesn't have to hurt? Or has the damage they've both suffered cut too deep to ever heal? **NA/Contemporary Romance with language and mature sexual content.**

About the Author

BethAuthorPicture-1 I am a wife, a mom, an author, and a lover of all things chocolate, well, anything sweet really. While stuffing chocolate in my face, I enjoy reading young adult and new adult novels furiously, and spending time with my husband and two adorable children who keep me on my peppermint pink painted toes. Those same children who inspire me to tell silly stories that cause hysterical giggles to tumble from their bellies. I love to laugh and love to have a good cry, especially after reading a novel that stretches my soul, one that makes me feel, and lingers in the corner of my heart. I’m a hopeless romantic and a happily ever after fanatic, and I love to write about LOVE. I began writing when I was in middle school, penning anything from short stories, to poetry, and then later moved on to write children’s books. I have now endeavored into New Adult and Contemporary Romance novels and am loving every minute of it. My first novel, Love Love, was released in May, 2013.

Unedited and subject to change prior to publication.


Aiden’s POV


          Liam and Allison turn to head towards the house.  I know that I should follow them, but damn it I’m holding her and I don’t want to let go.  She stands still in my arms not trying to break our connection.  My right arm is still draped across her waist holding her tight against my chest.  I gently grip her left hip and turn her to face me.  She’s staring straight at my chest, not meeting my eyes.  I gently lift her chin with my index finger.  Fuck she is so beautiful.  What if something would have happened to her today?   I can feel the anger trying to resurface.  I take a deep breath and exhale slowly.  Hailey is silently watching me now.  I lean down and rest my forehead against hers and close my eyes.  Both of my hands find her hips.  I’m going to take every advantage to touch her that I can.

          “I was worried about you, angel.” I tell her honestly.  Well as honest as I can be.

          “Aiden, we were fine.  Those guys were just being friendly.”

          “You don’t know them.  Hell, they could have taken you both and did god only knows what to you.”  I swallow back the emotion of just the thought of her being hurt.

          “I’m not yours to worry about.” She whispers.

          And there it is the knife that is twisting in my chest.  She’s right, I know it and she knows it, but fuck if I like it.

          I pull back and bring both of my hands to her cheeks.  “Angel, I care about you.  You may not be mine, but I will never let anything happen to you.  Do you understand that?” I ask her.  I really need her to know how special she is.

          “One big brother is enough, Aiden.  You don’t have to feel obligated to protect me.”

          “Who said I wanted to be your big brother?” I ask trying to keep my voice calm.  This is truly a daunting feat with all of the rage boiling inside me.  She thinks I want to be her big brother?  Fuck that!

          “Don’t you?  Why else would you go all alpha Aiden and try to keep me from them?” she asks me. 

          I watch her closely as she waits for my answer. This beautiful girl has no idea the war I have fought these past few months.  She has no idea how she affects me, how much I want her.  This is killing me.  Wanting something this much, something that I can’t have.  She licks her lips and now all I can think about is tasting her.  I don’t even realize that I’m going to do it until our lips meet and I’m consumed with her sweetness.  Lips of an angel, I tell you.

          I move one hand behind her neck and the other is holding her cheek.  I angle her head back and deepen the kiss.  Hailey opens her mouth and I take full advantage to slide my tongue in and hers immediately duals with mine.  She moans and my desire is fueled.  I can’t get her close enough, can’t get enough period.  Hailey slows the kiss and pulls her lips from mine.  I tug her into a tight embrace. 

          “I need for you to always be safe.  Not because I feel like your older brother, but because you are important to me.  I couldn’t handle it if something happened to you.”

I feel her nod against my chest.  “Let’s go, they’re going to wonder where we are.” I whisper in her ear.

          She slowly pulls away from me.  “Thank you, Aiden.” With that she turns and heads back to the beach house.

          I stand there and watch my heart walk away from me.  I place my hand over my heart and rub the ache that is throbbing in my chest.  No girl will ever mean to me what Hailey MacCoy does.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Two Roads by L.M. Augustine

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TWO ROADS BY L.M. AUGUSTINE :D!!!! Today I am doing the Two Roads by L.M. Augustine Release Day Blitz, hosted by Love Between the Sheets & Mary Elizabeth's Crazy Book Obsession.

Title: Two Roads

Author: L.M. Augustine

Series: NA

Publication Date: August 26, 2013

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

 

Synopsis:

The only person poetry-loving Cali Monroe hates more than herself is Logan Waters, the geeky kid who lives in the dorm building next to hers.

Ever since Cali's parents told her she would amount to nothing, she has felt entirely inadequate. Friendless and alone, she takes on the mean girl role in hopes it will make her feel better--and Logan serves as the perfect target. He infuriates her with his obnoxiously long lashes, his all too perfect dimpled smile, and his complete lack of personality outside of his intelligence. It doesn't hurt that he's part of the reason her brother is dead, either. So Cali hates him, and he returns the favor. Thus, their prank-filled, insult-driven rivalry is born, and torturing Logan quickly becomes the highlight of her life.

But when Cali's parents set them up on a blind date, she begins to realize Logan might not be as boring as she always thought. He shares her love of poetry, takes a sadistic pleasure in making fun of crepes, and he makes her blush when he calls her smile pretty.

And hey, maybe those long lashes of his aren't that obnoxious after all…

Two Roads is New Adult Romance about finding love, standing out, and learning to embrace who you are. It contains some language and mild sexual content.
