Cover Reveal! Crashed by K. Bromberg

Driven Fueled Crashed Collage

When life crashes down around us, how hard are we willing to fight for the one thing we can’t live without, each other?

Life is full of moments.
Big moments.
Little moments.
And none of them are inconsequential.
Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything.

Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she’s worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don’t deserve?

Love is full of ups and downs.
Heart stopping highs.
Soul shattering lows.
And none of them are insignificant.
Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it’s the expected that’s the hardest to hold on to.

Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love’s not predictable nor perfect—it’s bent. And bent’s okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he’s worth the fight?

Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart?

Driven cover

Driven

Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…

I am the exception to the rule.

In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track.

Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.

I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?

Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart?

Book #2 of the Driven Trilogy

What happens when the one person you never expected suddenly happens to be the one you’ll fight the hardest to keep?

Colton stole my heart. He wasn’t supposed to, and I sure as hell didn’t want him to, but he crashed into my life, ignited feelings within me that I thought had died forever, and fueled a passion that I never knew could exist.

Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet and into my life. Now I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. She’s seen glimpses of the darkness within me, and yet she’s still here. Still fighting for me. She is without a doubt the saint, and I am most definitely the sinner.

How is it the one thing neither of us wanted—neither of us anticipated that fateful night—has us fighting so hard to keep?

He steals my breath, stops my heart, and brings me back to life again all in a split second of time. But how can I love a man who won’t let me in? Who continually pushes me away to prevent me from seeing the damaged secrets in his past? My heart has fallen, but patience and forgiveness can only go so far.

How can I desire a woman who unnerves me, defies me, and forces me to see that in the deep, black abyss of my soul there’s someone worthy of her love? A place and person I swore I’d never be again. Her selfless heart and sexy body deserve so much more than I’ll ever be capable of giving her. I know I can’t be what she needs, so why can’t I just let her go?

We are driven by need and fueled with desire, but is that enough for us to crash into love?

We All Deserve a Second Chance

by K. M. Douglas
In the Place Where There is No Darkness was originally supposed to have been the novel that I have been working towards for almost 20 years. When the first chapter was complete, I was thrilled to see it come to life. As I began the second chapter, I knew that this was not the book that I set out to create when I first began writing it.
The story begins in the final minutes of Arthur Parsing’s life. The second chapter was supposed to go back in time and tell the story of how Art had come to the point where he was deciding whether or not to take his own life. Instead, the second chapter that I wrote took place nine years in the future and began with Arthur’s son, 17-year old Derrion, leaving home and walking to school. I kept writing from there, progressing the story, though I knew that I was not going to publish it. But still, I thought it would be good practice.
I had written almost the entire book when I finally set it aside. I decided that I wanted my first novel to be something special. I let that manuscript sit in a drawer for two years before I finally did the one thing with it that I had yet to do: I read it. I know it sounds silly, but while I was writing it, I would only read sections at a time, editing and adding to it, but I never sat down and read it from start to almost finished.
When I did read it two years later, I saw that there was something there, and though it was not the story I had originally set out to tell, it was without a doubt a compelling and important story that I believed needed to be told.
This is the book I needed to write. This is the book that symbolizes for me both an ending and a beginning. The culmination of a lifetime of writing as well as the birth of a new novelist.
Now, after having received more and more feedback from readers, I am glad that I took this book out of that desk drawer and gave it a second chance. In the first few reviews of In the Place Where There is No Darkness, the feedback I’ve received includes: “one of the best I’ve ever read”, “superbly written with a very vivid and imaginative writing style,” and “Douglas has a visceral writing ability that paints a picture, stimulates the senses and pierces the heart.”
This is a book about second chances, and now I realize how appropriate that is. Looking back, I also realize that the only thing this book was missing was my confidence in it. I said I wanted my first novel to be something special. For me, and for a number of readers already, it is.

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of In the Place Where There is No Darkness will be donated to the Fisher House Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates homes to enable military family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time – during hospitalization for a combat injury, illness or disease.

Arcadia’s Book Tour By Jesi Lea Ryan

 By Jesi Lea Ryan

Most people who experience death don’t live to tell about it.

When sixteen year old Arcadia “Cady” Day wakes in a hospital after experiencing what can only be called a psychic episode, she finds her family in tatters. With her twin sister gone, her dad moved out, her mom’s spiraling depression and her sister’s boyfriend, Cane, barely able to look at her, the only bright spot in her life is Bryan Sullivan, the new guy in school. When Bryan’s around, Cady can almost pretend she’s a regular girl, living a regular life; when he’s not, she’s wracked with wild, inexplicable mood swings. As her home life crumbles and her emotional control slips away, Cady begins to suspect that her first psychic episode was just the beginning…

 

 

Think high school sucks? Try being an empath who has to experience everyone else’s suckage on top of your own. (Literally.)

In the months since her family life imploded and her psychic gifts began to arise, Cady has struggled to figure out how she can fit into her normal life without going crazy from the constant presence of emotional energy. Her grades have tanked. Her best friend is afraid of her. And she begins to have doubts about why her boyfriend, Bryan, is really keeping her around. But a chance meeting with another gifted girl online opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Unfortunately, this new world comes at an awful price.
