Love You Through It is coming SOON! Read a SNEAK PEEK!
I cannot wait to share my newest release with you. I have had this book with me since the summer, and it's finally {almost} time to share it with the world. This book stirred my emotions and fears, unsure at times if there could be a happy ending, but my characters pushed through and proved life struggles are possible to over come.
Read a sneak peek here:
Prologue
I knew the moment I heard the words slip from the man in uniform that my world would be turned upside down. Shattered. Everything ended that dreadful day, including my will to live.
***
I throw myself over the casket after the preacher spoke words of peace and light. I grip the hard wood, bawling, refusing to let them sink this box to the bottom of that hole. No one attempts to stop me. They all watch in sorrow as I yell, asking God why.
I finally feel my father and Josh’s father pull me away. They hand me the folded flag—the tainted reminder of all that is left of him.
I stand in shock as they lower his body and cover him in dirt. I stare numbly at the mound of earth that now separates us. I will never see him again. I will never hear him again. Everything is destroyed.
“We’ll take you home,” my mother says, but I shake my head. “Bri, it would be best if you left. Let’s eat something.”
Turning to her, eyes void of emotion, I say, “Take me home and leave me there. I want to be alone.”
In the silence of the car, they respect my wishes. I hold on to that flag as if it were Josh I was holding.
“I want to be alone,” I tell them as they pull into the driveway before they choose to come inside with me.
“But—”
“No, mom. Not today.” I get out of the car; the black of my dress feels heavy as I drag with me the darkness this day has brought. It’s real. As if I would somehow wake up and have dreamt the visit the officer and chaplain made not too long ago.
As the door closes behind me, I lean against it—white contrasting to my black— and stare at this home. I calmly put the flag down on the console table. I walk a few steps in, grab the lamp and strike it onto the floor. I sweep my arms across the small table in the living room, causing everything on it to fall and break. The metal dish clings against the tile.
“Ahhh!” My throat hurts from the exertion. I yell again and again until I’m sore. I shatter the vase with flowers my friends sent me. Water pours from the broken glass as the roses attempt to soak up the last bit. I walk to them and stomp them with my heel. They can’t live if he’s dead.
I can’t live if he’s dead. I can’t live. I can’t.
I fall onto my knees, the tears a common emotion for me, and look up at the heavens. “I only have one question, God; why’d you bring him to me to steal him away?”
With that, I curl into my side and lose myself.

All of You sneak peek!
I am so excited to share the third book in the Rebel Desire Series! All of You is Jason's story, and it is a sweet, southern romance. It releases on May 2nd!
You can preorder on Amazon! http://amzn.to/2GAQFbD
Sneak Peek:
Jason turns toward me. “I know this isn’t how you imagined meeting someone, but give me a chance. I’m not some crazy musician. I’m homegrown and like to keep it that way.”
“Why?” I fold my hands together and look at him.
“Because from that first moment I saw you singing one of our songs, I knew there was something about you that I wanted to get to know.” He holds my hand. “I’m old enough to know what I want, but I’ll take my time for the right woman.”

Freebie through 6/14/19!
Oh my goodness! I'm visiting Miami & spending time with my new niece (1st one!). SO. IN. LOVE. WITH. HER. Shouty caps are a must, LOL. I've been spending as much time possible visiting her and taking on my auntie role. She's got a serious side eye, which is probably my favorite thing ever. I can't wait to see her spunk and sass as she gets older.
What are your summer plans? I want to know. Comment and let me know! I head back to Spain on June 18th!
Since we're all stocking up on our summer reading, I wanted to give you a freebie to take with you on your vacation or to read in the comfort of your home. My sports romcom, Sweet on Wilde, is free for five days ONLY, starting today!! You'll definitely want to grab your copy before price goes back up! It's also in KU!
Read it here! https://amzn.to/2lSrWay
Price increases on 6/14/19
S Y N O P S I S:
Cheesy pick up lines. Inappropriate messages. Disaster dates.
I was tired of being “Savannah, profile 8713,” but I made a deal with my best friend to give online dating a chance. What I wasn’t counting on was meeting a guy at the local bar.
Parker Wilde won me over with his two-step and blue eyes. He brought out the best in me and understood the worst, but when an amazing opportunity presents itself and our lives take different directions, is being sweet on Wilde enough for us?
