The Long Way Home - about book 

TheLongWayHome  

I need you, Ava.

I am desperate. For you. For a touch. For a kiss. For the scrape of your hand down my stomach. For the slide of your lips across my hipbone. The sweep of your thigh against mine in the dulcet, drowning darkness. For the warm huff of your breath on my skin and the wet suck of your mouth around me and the building pressure of need reaching release...I am mad with need.

Wild with it.

I cannot have you. I have lost you, as I have lost myself.

And so I go in search. Of myself, and thus the man who might return to you, and take you in his arms.

I loathe each of the thousands of miles between us, but I cannot wish them away, for I hope at the end of my journey I shall find you. Or rather, find myself, and thus…you. Myself, and thus us. 

I am taking the long way home, Ava.

***

Christian,

I’m losing my mind, and I don’t know how to stop it. I shouldn’t be writing to you, but I am. I’m friendless, loveless, and lifeless. You’re out there somewhere, and still you’re all I really have. I hate my reliance and dependence on you, emotionally and otherwise, and that reliance is something I’m coming to recognize. I hate that I can’t hate you as much as I want to. I hate that I still love you so much.

I hate that there’s no clear solution to our conundrum. Even if we could forgive each other, what then?

I hate you, Christian. I really do.

But most of all, I don’t.

It’s complicated.

Complicatedly (still) yours,

Ava

Blurb:

Just when my life seemed manageable, I’m thrown radically off course by “the one”. “The one” I wasn’t expecting. “The one” I never knew I wanted. “The one” who single handedly holds the key to the tattered lock safeguarding my heart. Letting someone into my protected sanctuary will only serve one purpose - intentional infliction of pain and heartache… and I’m positive I’m not capable of handling that.

New Rules: 1. Avoid LOVE at all costs. 2. No complications. 3. I will not become ‘dick’matized by the hotshot guitarist. It was only a no-strings attached weekend. 4. The lyrics he writes may seem magical, but it’s a façade. Lyrics can’t mend broken heartstrings – no matter how strong my heart swells with his words.




MENDING HEARTSTRINGS EXCERPT

“Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?  I’ve had enough of this shit, enough of your shit!” Garret is yelling when he marches onto the tour bus.  “I can’t have a babysitter come hunt your ass down before every sound check and every damn show!”  He’s pissed because I was zoned out, writing some of the best lyrics I’ve ever written and missed the start of sound check, but nonetheless, I made it.  No big deal.  Actually he’ll be thanking me when he hears the songs I came up with later.
“Garrett, chill out man.  I was writing and lost track of time,” I say, standing from the couch and head to the liquor cabinet for my bottle of Jack.  I take the bottle and bring it to my lips, but I can’t lift it high enough to take a swig with him yanking the bottle away.  I’m not sure if he pushes me or I’ve fallen, but my ass meets the stiff foam couch of the tour bus either way.  
“Fucking enough, Jon,” Garrett says, his anger is dissipating.  There’s a veil of concern and sympathy harnessing some of that anger.  “Just fucking enough.  You can’t keep doing this and expect me sit here and watch you kill yourself.  No more, man.  Not on my damn watch.  I can’t live with that regret.  It’s time for you to get help.”
Who the hell is this guy kidding?  I’m fine.  I’ve told him this a thousand times.  We just finished an amazing show and I’m damn good at my job.  I really am fine.  It’s the rest of these people with sticks up their ass he should be worried about, and damn . . . he’s one of them lately.  I like to have a little fun.  What’s the damn harm in that?  There’s nothing to quit if I don’t have a problem, and I could snap myself out it in a second if there was one anyway.   I’m good as Jack Daniel’s gold – no issues here.
“Man, I’m fine.  Quit worrying.  You’re looking at me like your dog just died.  Your damn vagina is showing.  It’s past time for you to go get laid, McKenna.  I keep trying to help you, man, but you gotta just relax and let shit roll.  Ya know?”  I encourage, flipping the scene to get past the heavy shit he’s putting on the table.
I start to stand and head to the bathroom with my buzz quickly fading.  I need to fix this shit fast before he ruins my night, but as soon as I stand he’s on my heels.
“Hell no you’re not.  Sit your ass down.  You’re not gonna escape me helping you find Jesus by going in there to get more fucked up.  Not happening, Jon,” he insists, blocking my entrance to the tiny little hall.  Drew and Eric chose that second to walk onto the bus so I fall back to my position on the couch hoping it’s just a matter of time until they distract him.  Maybe one of them will stick up for me for once and tell him to shut the hell up.  It’s only fair, but since everybody seems to think Garrett McKenna’s word is law around here it’s doubtful anyone will have my back.  Pussies.  
Drew and Eric look between Garrett and me trying to read the tension floating between us, but I’m not giving anything up.   Damn, I’m not the one with issues anyway.  Maybe it’s time they had words with their top damn dog and help the man loosen up.
Garrett and I have been friends for eight long ass years.  We both arrived in Nashville about the same time and found jobs cooking breakfast in a crappy little diner part time.  We bonded, and together we beat the streets of Nashville searching for any available stage that would let us play.   With all the hard work we put in, I stayed on with his band after he signed, but I didn’t sign up for this shit.  That’s for sure.  
“Everything okay?” Eric asks cautiously.
Garrett doesn’t look at him or even respond.  Holding up his right hand, he dismisses them never taking his eyes off me.  While he stares daggers into my damn soul, I know there’s no way in hell he’s going to let me leave without a fight.  Determined to get out of here, I stand to leave the bus.  “To hell with this, McKenna.”
Garrett positions himself in front of me, pushing me back down on the couch before I find my balance.  “Fuck!” I yell, slamming back into the seat jarring me harder than necessary.  He might be mad as hell, but I am too.  Unfortunately though, he has the upper hand since I’m too damn weak to fight him with this buzz wearing off and making me ache.  Folding my head into my hands, I have no choice but to wait him out.  It’s all I’ve got.  He shouldn’t expect me to participate in this damn duel without a weapon, but it seems he does.  The fuming silence fills every inch of the bus until I feel like I can’t even breathe anymore.   An hour could have passed in this uncomfortable hush or maybe it’s been less than five minutes.  Who knows, but it’s been long enough that his eyes are burning a hole into my head even though I refuse to make eye contact with him.  McKenna has superman’s strength in will power and I’ve got no clue how I’m going to get past him to get the hell out of here.

Blurb:

I thought my life would forever be defined by tragedy.

The happily ever after I thought I had, ended prematurely and painfully. My daughter and I were stuck in a fog of self-preservation, afraid to believe that there wasn’t more pain waiting for us in the ‘real world’. Just the thought of allowing myself to embrace happiness and take a risk in order to feel that all-consuming love again is terrifying. And I’m not sure I would be able to survive if it all went away again. But… what choice do I have when I’m tied up in these heartstrings? I could cut the ties and run. Or I could take a chance on someone that my heart once yearned for and hope that he knows how to untangle the fear that holds my heart hostage.  


Phantom Heartstrings (Heartstrings, #3)

Pre-order for .99 cents! Coming July 4

PURCHASE ON AMAZON

Blurb:

Love comes easy to some. It came easy to me. Loving him was never an issue. Appreciating him was as easy as breathing. Years of living a life of what others viewed as perfection gave me the security I thought was most valuable.

My marriage to Drake is symbolic of what others fight for, yet living in the glass house of perfection is the biggest challenge of my life. Life isn’t always what it seems. People change. Everyone has demons they fight and fighting them in secret to avoid letting others down takes its toll. Love came easy, but maintaining it is a whole different game. I thought the happily ever after would be the end of the story. That wasn’t the case. There’s so much more. It’s only so long before the glass house of perfection is clouded with buried secrets. Can we overcome this and get back to a place of true happiness, or will I always feel like I’m perfecting my acting skills to save face? Can I ever find the ending to this fairy tale life I wanted so desperately?

Cover Reveal ~ I DO(N'T) by Leddy Harper




Cover Designer - Wicked by Design

BLURB


I fell in love with Holden York when I was six years old.

Most of my youth came with spiral notebooks filled with doodles, wedding plans, and “Janelle York” looped in bubbly handwriting.

However, one night in Vegas changed everything.

I woke up to more than just a fantasy of my brother’s best friend.

Five years later, I'm standing on his doorstep confronting him about the secret he kept from me. 

If you think this is the story of how we rode off into the sunset together…

You’re so wrong.

But if you think this is the story of how Holden blackmailed me into living with him...

You couldn't be more right.

Re-Launch Blitz ~ Here's To Tomorrow by Teagan Hunter

Title: Here's to Tomorrow
Series: Here's To #1
Author: Teagan Hunter
Genre: NA Romance
Re-Release Date: June 29, 2017


HUDSON
When I became a single father at seventeen, I knew my path wasn’t going to be easy. Hell, sometimes it sucked. Year after year, I tirelessly busted my ass until my business was booming. Until my daughter was happy. Until life? It was good. Settled.
But sometimes being settled is overrated. Boring. Especially when a little excitement walks through my door in the shape of Rae Kamden. With her sarcastic mouth and smartass comebacks, she’s the type of girl still sowing her wild oats and not looking to settle. Not with a guy like me.
RAE
I’ve been stuck in this small town since I was a child and nothing is going to keep me here. Not anymore. Done being tied down, I’m out of here the first chance I get. This town can kiss my ass goodbye. 
I’m twenty-two. Single. Unwilling to settle. But if I did? It wouldn’t be with Hudson Tamell.
So explain to me why the moment he looks up from under the hood of my car, the sarcastic replies on my lips come out sounding sweeter. Why does he make me want to settle down, right here, with him? 
That’s not what I wanted. But maybe it’s what I need.






By day I’m a freelance cover designer. By every other free moment, a writer. I’m a Missouri raised gal, but I currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband where I spend my days begging him for a cat. I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies.
