Wild Reckless Cover Reveal Countdown

I'm busy working on Paige's story, but in the middle of the Falling series, I wrote something entirely different. And this book…it's my favorite. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't be bashful about it (that's hard for me; I may be a touch wallflower). I love it, and I hope like hell you all love it to because I'm pretty sure if you don't I'll cry, and I'm an ugly crier. Just ask around. I don't cry often. I whine; I admit to whining. But crying is reserved for bleeding and girly emotions. And my cry--it's bad.

I'm digressing.

Just wanted to post this little update because the Wild Reckless cover reveal is coming Feb. 4. Here's the synopsis. I even love the synopsis. Okay, putting my excitement back in check.

Synopsis:

Kensington Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best friends, her posh private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with her piano until her audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the best music programs in the world.

Instead, a nightmare took over.

It didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly—a tiny thread that evil somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from her. She was suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an existence she didn’t choose—one determined to destroy her from the inside, leaving only hate and anger behind. It didn’t help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.

Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that’s spoken about in whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined with Kensington’s, every interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen Harper was consumed with darkness, and it held onto his soul for years. When Kensington looked at him, she saw a boy who’d gotten good at taking others down when they threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she looked, the more she saw other things too—good things…things to admire.

Things…to love. Things that made her want to be reckless.

And those things…they were the scariest of all.

Wild Reckless Cover Reveal Time!

It's midnight by now EST, so I feel like it's perfectly acceptable to share this a little early for Arizona.

COVER REVEAL FOR WILD RECKLESS - a mature YA romance by Ginger Scott

Wild Reckless by Ginger Scott

I have a hard time being bold. I guess I feel like I never deserve to be bold, if that makes sense. Or rather, like I have so much left to prove. And I want to prove it -- believe me, I'm up for the challenge, albeit awkwardly, from the corner, like the un-bold wallflower I totally am. But…I am not going to be shy about this book. I can't. I'm proud of it. Stupid proud! I mean, big, loud, obnoxious, want to wave it in your face like a Packer fan proud! Every chapter I finished made me smile, made me breathe deeply, sigh and feel so damned satisfied. I love this book so hard, and oh my GAWD do I hope you do too. I threw a penny into a wishing well this week, hoping this book finds hearts beyond mine. I believe in it, and for me, that's a terribly hard thing. It scares me. So…here's the first piece of Wild Reckless. I even love the cover more than any cover I've done. And over the next few weeks, I'll share teasers, previews and more. And on March 17, I'll shut my eyes tightly and hold my breath as Wild Reckless goes live. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go through a lot of pennies with this one…

In Your Dreams - a new Falling Series book! Cover Reveal Today! Releases March 29

Okay, it's just about midnight here, so...drumroll!

In Your Dreams cover image - a new novel by Ginger Scott

I hope you love the In Your Dreams cover as much as I do!

This one is super special to me. Quick story: So one of my bestest friends from back in the day of skateboards and pegged jeans and Kid and Play and (I could go on and on) shot this image for me. His name is Frank Rodriguez of DLRfoto, and he's pretty much brilliant with a lens. The model is the equally awesome Michael Patrick Gleason, and we basically turned my garage into the coolest club in town. I had this certain vibe in mind - I wanted something that said vinyl meets Boogie Nights meets hottest club in a warehouse that you can only get to if someone texts you directions at midnight. That vibe. And damn it if I don't think we pulled it off!

I cannot wait for you guys to meet Casey and fall for that infamous Coffield smirk and charm. Dare I say, I believe he has this way of putting you under his spell. And that smirk, that chin, that boy right there on the cover - Casey personified.

Get ready for March 29th. Below is the goodreads link; I will share pre-order links very soon!

Falling #4 - IN YOUR DREAMS

** Release date - March 29, 2016 **
Casey Coffield has a growing list of personal flaws he keeps locked away in his head:

He’s never on time.
His list of IOUs to his best friend is endless.
Money is always short.
Goals are never in reach.
Oh, and he’s decided to add college drop-out to that list, too. He doesn’t really think that last one’s such a bad thing, but his family insists it is, so it stays on the list.

On paper, he’s a zero. But in person, when he’s mixing tracks for a sea of bodies at the hottest clubs and parties, he’s downright irresistible. Just-right stubble on his chin, body of a boxer and a smirk that stimulates all the right nerves—women have never been a problem. They flock to his swagger and fall for his charm…fast.

All except for this one.

Purple hair, gray eyes, a raspy voice and sass, Murphy Sullivan is a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. And her and Casey? They have history. He can’t remember it, but she wrote a song about him—and it’s not exactly a love song. But it is good. Damn good. And uncovering her inspiration just might be the key to solving a few of his shortcomings—not to mention open doors to his own big break in the music industry.

But sometimes dreams get messy when they collide. Sometimes life changes patterns. A past paints the wrong picture and futures get cloudy. The only question that remains is who will you choose when the dust settles—you? Or the girl of your dreams?

** This book is a Falling Series spin-off. It can be read as a standalone. **
