One Step Closer

 I'm happy to report that I'm one step closer to having my latest novel Drowning In Love out to you guys. I have typed THE END, but the THE END is never really the end until I hit that publish button. I'm still making minor changes based on some feedback that I've been receiving. Then there's the editing! But I am very hopeful that it will be out to the world by July. So here are some things to help with the wait. First, make sure that you add it to your TBR list. I've posted the entire prologue here. And, lastly here are a few tiny teasers:

We stood in the hallway and waited for the elevator. “I have to give you credit, that was pretty slick,” I said.

“What?”

“Asking me for coffee in front of your grandmother, so I couldn’t say no.”

“You could have said no. No one was holding a gun to your head.”

We got into the elevator and continued with the conversation.

“Look Travis, I think it’s better if you and I just don’t have any type of relationship. It’s obvious that we can’t be just friends.”

“No Mia, you’re wrong. We can be friends. Look, I’m sorry for what happened last night, this whole friendship thing with women is new to me. But I really do like you and I have a lot of fun when I’m with you. And I’m not going to lie; I think you’re absolutely beautiful.”

We stepped off the elevator and out of the apartment building into the warm muggy air. 

“Travis, why would you want to be friends with me?”

“Why wouldn’t I?

“Because I’m just ordinary. I’m not those supermodels that you’re used to being around.

“No Mia, you’re not. You are so much more. Not only are you beautiful, but you also have a great personality, you’re smart and you’re funny. So sometimes ordinary is better.”

Cover Reveal

First of all let me say, Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful Mom's out there! Hope you are spending you day doing something fun or just taking it easy!

I have something very special that I would like to share with all of you in honor of Mother's Day.....The cover/synopsis to Drowning in Love my new novel that I'm hoping to have released by of Summer of 2013.  I was a little hesitant about revealing it just yet because I'm still working very hard at perfecting the storyline but my patience got the best of me, so I must! So without further ado, here it is:

Mia Taylor has a huge heart, but just how much pain can one heart endure? Mia was living the picture perfect life, engaged to her high school sweetheart and working at her dream job at an upscale salon in New York City. She had it all. Until the day her past, present and future were taken away, leaving her to face the world scared and alone. Trying to pick up the pieces of her broken life, while mourning the devastating loss of her fiancé she just goes through the motions as an empty shell.

Enter Travis Montgomery, Olympic swimmer and totally gorgeous. He has several medals under his belt and just as many women. Mia is well aware of his womanizing reputation and refuses to be his next conquest, but finds herself coming alive again whenever she’s around him. They agree to be “just friends,” quickly finding that they are unable to fight the attraction between them. Mia’s life becomes complete once again with Travis in it; but nothing good lasts forever, at least not in Mia’s world. Torn apart by an ugly secret, Mia’s heart is broken once again.

When the unthinkable happens and Travis needs Mia the most, she must reach deep inside to find forgiveness for the one man who will always hold the key to her shattered heart. But will doing so only break it further; this time beyond repair?

*Expected Publication Date: Summer 2013

Do you like? Don't forget to to add to TBR List on Goodreads,

I hope that you grow to love Mia & Travis as much as Nicole & Dailan and Kat & Julian. I'm working hard to make sure that the readers can connect with them in the same way. Good character development is like fine wine... they take time to age and perfect! So, just bear with me....it will be here before you know it!
