SYNOPSIS: From the outside looking in Garrison Davis seems like every other senior in high school. On the inside though, heâs an emotional wreck promising to not love anyone. He chooses to protect himself by vowing solitude. His dad is in prison for dealing drugs; his mother is a recovering addict and an emotional mess. The only thing that brings him joy is playing the drums and that feeling of being needed by his band. It is his escape, his passion. No one gets hurt or disappointed. That is until he lays his eyes on Reese at school. She is the exact example of what he cannot let himself get involved in. He would do nothing but drag her down with him. âI want to tell her and show her how much I love her. I had loved her from the first time I spotted her in that courtyard smiling but I canât, I wonât. She deserves so much more than I can offer. Iâm the spawn of a drug dealer and an addict. I have never let myself love another person and now⦠I love her so much it hurts.â Reese Owens is the exact opposite of Garrison. Inside sheâs beaming; growing up in a happy home and on the outside she was a duck out of water. Her parents are the over protective set but are finally loosening the jail bars. Sophomore year in high school, she has never dated a boy and is envious of the social life her best friend Autumn Welch has. She meets Garrison and is instantly attracted to him. He pulls away when she pushes in. A whole new world opens up to Reese and she finds herself falling into situations she canât get herself out of. Making bad decision after bad decision, she finds out the hard way on how life is full of choices. The one thing she wants more than anything is Garrisonâs attention which she doesnât get in return. âHow is it possible to love someone and keep it quiet? Never to utter those very words knowing he doesnât feel the same way. I finally fall in love and he only wants to be friends. He is everything I have always wanted and he keeps me at a distance making sure we donât get too close. How can I ignore my feelings and act like I donât have them when we are around each other? How do I resist the urge to move my lips towards his when he is talking to me?â Garrison realizes he has to be honest with Reese and tell her how he really feels before he loses her for good. Just maybe, he will get love in return for the first time in his life. When he finally convinces himself to come forth, a life changing event occurs that could take away the only person in his life that truly loves him. Is it too late? Does he get the chance to tell her? And when he confesses does it matter? PURCHASE LINK: EXCERPT *Garrison* Morning after morning, I wake myself up. I donât have the normal mother or father to tell me to have a good day or make me breakfast. Sure Iâm a senior in high school, but Iâve never had that. Even in elementary I took care of myself. My dad was dealing heavy drugs at the time and when he wasnât dealing he was high or sleeping. Mom had tried several times to stay drug free but wasnât successful with it. My dad wanted her just like him, destroyed. I have never really known what it was like to have parents that care. They didnât understand why I hated the life we lived. More times than not they voiced their frustration that I thought I was better than them. I listened to people talk about how their parents were annoying and watched them like hawks. They had to lie to do things they wanted to do when caring parents would try to provide them a net, so they wouldnât get hurt, something that was only a dream for me. I yearned for that and knew I was never going to get it. I saw things I shouldnât have seen but all it did was make me want to strive even more to make it, to get away from it. I was going to make it, and I was going to be nothing like my parents. My evenings were pretty identical to my mornings. I did my homework, drummed with the band and then made myself something to eat. Mom worked at a hotel in housekeeping and when she was home she was either sleeping or sitting in her room in silence. I donât know if she knew if I was dead or alive half the time nor would she have cared. Well thatâs not true. If I was dead Aunt Ellen wouldnât be paying our bills. This is my senior year and all of my friends were going to be hanging out, partying, and having a good time, while I was just going to be living my life. It was a vicious cycle, and I was willing to do it because I knew I would survive it all. I was going to go to college and do the one thing that would piss my parents off the most and I would have full satisfaction in doing just that. It was going to make me happy to put people away that made and sold drugs and destroyed lives just like mine was. I am a Texas girl, mother of 2 amazing kiddos and married to my gorgeous soulmate for almost 20 years. I have a full time job in the medical field but hope one day to strictly write. I love to spend my free time reading, being outside and playing with my family and 4 fur babies. I am blessed to have very supportive friends and family that make my life worth living! I started to write at the instinct of "hey maybe I can do that!" and here I am. I have enjoyed every step of the journey. Every single person I hear from about my stories touches me and confirms the reason why I ventured into this insane dream of mine. Author Links:

Blog Tour3/19/2015 Out From Under Pea Pod Girls’ Investigations Book #1 By- Melanie Donithan, Dee Middleton-Taylor, and Suzanne Curry Genre- Romance/Mystery/Humor Expected Publication Date- March 2015 Three small town, middle-aged women with big town dreams open up The Pea Pod Girls’ Investigations. Gigi VanWey, the Amazon Queen, Tallulah Dewy Townz, the pint-sized rebel who can open a can of whoop ass, and Babs Rosencrantz, the Jewish Guru, had no idea how much trouble they could stir up with their first case. These extremely resourceful women are three peas in a pod who know how to get a job done. Their first client, trophy wife and recovering-sugar-daddy-addict Cyndi Lou Montgomery, wants to find out how one minute she’s watching the Douglas County 4th of July celebration and the next, waking up in the Douglas County Prize Bull Barn in a most un-lady-like situation. Now Cyndi is being blackmailed, and given specific instructions to follow. The Pea Pod Girls didn’t know that a home explosion, being shot at, missing evidence and unwanted help from the new town sheriff, Jackson Lee – who, by the way, is so hot you could fry an egg on his fine ass – would be part of the job. The case comes to a head when the Pea Pod Girls set a trap for the blackmailer at the annual Midnight Madness Costume Ball. Will the Pea Pod Girls be able to solve the mystery before the clock strikes midnight? Excerpt: At that moment, Gigi’s Hunk of Burnin’ Love walked in with a friend. I immediately had to check out the over-fifty male who stood at least 6’5”. It was, in fact, the same Greek god I’d bumped into at Iggly Wiggly’s the day before. I quickly scanned Zeus from head to toe, stopping midway to notice he had one hell of a salami bulge. HBL greeted Gigi with a smooch that left her breathless. HBL introduced his friend, Jackson Lee who was new in town. Jackson was the newly hired sheriff of Chelan County. HBL added that Jackson was single and lookin’ for company. Jackson wore a sheepish grin that made me want to jump his bones, or maybe I should say jump his bone. My eyes must’ve glazed over because Gigi kicked me under the table, bringing me out of my daze. I just knew I‘d have good dreams tonight. HBL made a date with Gigi to meet at the pickup after work. I know what the Hunk of Burnin’ Love had in mind for our Gigi and she was one lucky lady. Jackson was bidding Gigi and Babs a farewell and when it came to my turn, he gently took my hand and said it was a pleasure to meet me and asked if maybe we could get together for lunch sometime. By then I was in a PP power surge and almost melted on the spot. I recovered smoothly, gave Jackson my best coquettish smile, and said my number was in the phone book. After he left I remembered my number was no longer in the local phone book. I had it taken out after I was stalked last year by Orondo Blue, the local sewer plant manager. That was really the shits!

He also hadnât expected to find the powerful magic hidden deep within him for the last nineteen years, but heâs embracing it â finding more control and more answers every day. Now, with the help of Ameliaâs best friend, Bethany, Aidan is on a quest to understand his destiny and find Amelia.Amelia decided to stand by her duty, which meant walking away from her first chance at love. Trapped in Cresthaven at the Queenâs mercy, she spends her days with Micah â an ally she still holds at armâs length â struggling to manage her heartbreak while keeping her mind focused on the task at hand. As she continues to unlock the secrets of the Keeper power, Queen Juliaâs true motives reveal themselves, forcing Amelia to decide, yet again, how much sheâs willing to sacrifice. Will Aidan get to Amelia before it's too late, or will the very power that sustains them keep them apart? "Featuring a cast of mages and shapeshifters with unique magical abilities, one destiny-shaping prophecy, a genocidal megalomaniac, and a budding, heated romance (or two!), this book is paranormal gold!

I was suddenly nervous and unable to make eye contact anymore. I fidgeted and a shyness I hadn't felt since his initial pursuit took over. As I waged an internal war over what to do, Aidan did what he did best and took control of the decision for me. He had always known what I needed before I did. He got up and circled me. He stopped when he was facing me and sat down. Even sitting, his head was close to chest level. His tail swished back and forth behind him and his eyes were full of patience. He let out a low yelp and it was all the encouragement I needed to drop to the ground and wrap my arms around him. My body was positioned between his front paws and he nuzzled into my hair as I struggled to maintain control of my raging emotions and held on to him as if he was my life raft in the sea of uncertainty and fear I lived in now.

Because, I promise you, nothing is the same. Nothing. I’ve earned our happily ever after. Now I have to survive it. Excerpt FROM CODA (RATED NC-17) “You know what, Monica, you don’t even know yourself. Look at you. I haven’t seen you this relaxed in months. The only time you let your worry go is when you give me control. And your worry is what keeps you from being honest.” I swallowed. Blinked. A torrent of wetness welled behind my eyes, “I don’t want to break the scene.” “Stay still. Stay naked. Speak your mind.” “I almost died with you a hundred times. That recovery room, they had you in this induced coma and you looked dead. There were bags of blood. Bags, hanging over you and you were all opened up. And, I’m sorry, I haven’t said this because you’re the one who went through it.” I swallowed a gallon of tears. “I don’t want to see you like that again. But I think about it all the time. I dream about it. I see it when I close my eyes. I want you to live, so I do what I think is going to make you happy and I always get it wrong. Stay or go. I give you attention or none. It’s always wrong.” “What about your happiness?” “It doesn’t matter. Not as much as yours. It’s not life or death.” “It is, Monica. It is.” I shook my head. “You can’t convince me of that. We can do this hurtful honesty thing all day. You’re the priority and I’m okay with that. Deal with it.” He nodded, looking down for a blink, then up at me. He reached for my wrists. “These go behind your back.” I did as instructed. “Now, get on your knees.” I bent them. With my hands behind my back, it was hard to balance. “Do you need some help?” he asked. “Yes.” I thought he’d take me gently by the elbow, but dragged me down. He was right. I was relaxed, totally submitting and trusting him, loving every bit of discomfort he dished out. “Spread your knees apart.” I did, too slowly for him. He kicked them wide. “Do you remember your safeword?” He asked, unbuckling his belt. “Yes.” A tingling rush went down my spine with the promise of his dominance and the way it made me forget how fragile he really was. His cock was out in the next second. “Open. Your. Mouth.” About the Author CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Even worse that he actually threw her into the betting pot during an intense round…and lost. Talk about the perfect excuse for Jade to make him her ex-boyfriend. Now she supposedly belongs to the ultra rich, extremely gorgeous Shep Prescott. He could have anything he wants yet he seems to be in hot pursuit of her. No matter how rude, how snarky, how impossible she acts, it doesn’t stop him. More like her horrible behavior seems to make him want her more. When she finds herself starting to fall for him, Jade’s confused. There’s more to Shep than the carefree rich charmer he portrays. He has secrets. And she wants to discover them, no matter how ugly they might be… Add to Goodreads FAIR GAME Excerpt (unedited): “What are you doing?” she asks, sounding the tiniest bit breathless. “Making sure you’re not injured,” I answer, proud of how under control I sound. Inside, I’m chaos. My heart is thumping hard against my chest and my breathing’s accelerated. I grip her knee, and realize my hand is fucking shaking. “I think you’re trying to get your hand up my skirt.” Leave it to Bitch Face to call me out. I can’t help but find her straightforwardness attractive. No girl is ever straightforward with me. They’re always coy. Playing games and flirting and never asking for what they really want. They always defer to me. After awhile, that gets pretty damn boring. “Maybe I am,” I say, moving my hand to rest on top of her knee. Her lips curve into the smallest smile and seeing it feels like a victory. As if I’ve just won an extra difficult battle and that tiny curve of her lush lips is my prize. “You’re pretty determined, aren’t you?” She’s not pushing me away. I need to take this moment. Seize this fucking moment and make it mine. Make her mine. At least for tonight. Her scent is making my head spin and just touching her knee has got me sporting wood. “I'm always determined.” “Determined to piss me off?” I chuckle and her smile grows. “Am I doing a good job?” “You’re an expert at making me mad.” “I think we’re having a moment,” I tell her. “A bonding moment.” She looks the slightest bit horrified. “No. Way. That is the last thing I want to do.” I raise my eyebrows, let my hand slide up a bare inch more. Then another. I’m so close to getting under that skirt, it’s not even funny. “You don’t like me very much, do you?” “You don’t like me either. You call me Bitch Face.” “You introduced yourself to me as Bitch Face.” She tilts her head, all that wavy red hair tumbling over her shoulder. My fingers itch to touch it. “I did, didn’t I?” “Yeah. I thought it was an unusual name…” I let my voice drift and she smiles once more. “Says the man with an unusual name.” “I told you it’s an old family name.” “As a last name, not as a first.” She makes a little face. “It’s not very sexy.” “You don’t think?” Interesting. “I can’t imagine shouting out your name in the throes of passion.” Her cheeks go the faintest pink. That she’s even thinking like this gives me a secret thrill. Forbidden. Unknown. This is the last girl I should consider getting naked with. “Throes of passion?” I ask. “Someone’s been reading too many romance novels.” “You know what I mean.” She waves a hand, dismissing her words. “I don’t.” I pull the innocent act, which she isn’t falling for but it’s still fun. “What are you talking about exactly?” “You’re not going to make me explain, are you?” “I would love for you to explain. Or maybe I should help you.” I crawl my fingers up her thigh, playing with the frayed hem of her denim skirt. “Are you talking about…having sex?” She nods, her cheeks blazing up. Hmm, she’s extra pretty when she blushes. “And that moment…when we’re fucking…and you’re so damn close.” I lean in and inhale deep, my eyes almost falling shut as I absorb her scent, her warmth and that flush in her cheeks, the way her breathing quickens. “So fucking close as I push deep inside you. You don’t think it would be sexy to yell out my name just as I make you come?” “N-no.” She shakes her head, that single word coming out as a squeak. “Really.” I give in and settle my cheek next to hers, nuzzle her ear with my nose before I whisper, “Because by the time I have you coming, I’m fairly certain you’ll be crying out my name and begging me please.” “You’re a real arrogant prick, aren’t you?” I pull back from her the slightest bit, a little shocked. The girl doesn’t mince words. “Merely confident in my abilities.” I cup the back of her head, thread my fingers in the silky soft waves of her hair. I’d love to wrap her hair around my fist and tug her head back right before I kiss her… “Proud of your manwhore status?” “I can’t help it if the ladies flock to me.” She rests her hand on my chest and gives me a gentle shove. “I’m not flocking to you.” “Even after all that talk about coming and with my hand up your skirt?” Jade looks down with a sharp gasp, dropping her hand to mine and shoving it out from beneath her skirt. “What are you doing?” “I thought it was obvious.” When she says nothing, only glares at me, I continue. “I was going to kiss you and hopefully get you off with my fingers.” Her mouth drops open. Instead of looking aroused, she looks…pissed. Vaguely horrified. “You’re disgusting.” I lean back. Move way, way back though I’m not getting off the bed. Not yet. I still have a chance. Or then again, maybe I don’t. IN THE DARK (Book 2) August 25, 2015 Stuck spending the summer with his screwed up family, Gabriel Walker is bored out of his mind and looking for an adventure. And he seems to find it with the hot girl who lives next door. The attraction between them is instant. Electric. Soon they’re spending every stolen minute together.

She grew to love books honestly, having a mom that read voraciously and instilled that same love in her. She knew quickly that stories of fantasy were her favorite, and even as an adult gravitates toward paranormal stories in any form.Writing a book had never been an aspiration, but suddenly the story was there and couldn't be stopped. When she isn't working on, or thinking about, her books, Stormy's favorite places include bar patios, live music shows, her yoga mat or anywhere she can relax with her husband or girlfriends.

Without a plan, he takes up his younger sister's offer of a weekend with her and her friends in the family cabin. He thinks it'll just be drinking and skiing. What he doesn't expect is to have three of his sister’s friends more than ready to help him forget all about his heartbreak.
