“And I thought you were gorgeous back then, Fallon Parker.”
Fallon froze.
She would forever know that velvet smooth voice anywhere. Fallon would always remember the way it sounded when he would lay her down on his bed before he would thoroughly make love to her or when he would console her when she was sad. It was the voice of the man that she had loved with a fierceness no one could touch. It was the same voice of the man that broke her into a billion pieces in a matter of seconds.
Hope you enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Cover/Blurb Reveal: Easy by Tammara Webber
.jpg)
Her econ professor gives her an email address for Landon,
the class tutor, who shows her that she’s still the same intelligent girl she’s
always been. As Jacqueline becomes interested in more from her tutor than a
better grade, his teasing responses make the feeling seem mutual. There’s just
one problem—their only interactions are through email.
Meanwhile, a guy in her econ class proves his worth the
first night she meets him. Nothing like her popular ex or her brainy tutor,
Lucas sits on the back row, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. At a
downtown club, he disappears after several dances that leave her on fire. When
he asks if he can sketch her, alone in her room, she agrees—hoping for more.
Then Jacqueline discovers a withheld connection between
her supportive tutor and her seductive classmate, her ex comes back into the
picture, and her stalker escalates his attention by spreading rumors that they've hooked up. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to
trust is anything but easy.
Easy is a Young Adult (YA-Mature) contemporary novel, and is a stand-alone (no series, and unassociated with Between the Lines).

Excerpt: Predestined by Abbi Glines
Predestined excerpt:
Dank opened my door and I stepped out finally tearing my eyes off him to meet my friend’s gaze.
“Well good morning to you too,” Miranda teased slipping her arm in mine. “I wondered how long it was going to take for you to shift that worshipful puppy dog expression off your rocker boyfriend to notice little ‘ol me.”
I elbowed her, “shut up.”
She giggled, “Girl please tell me you aren’t trying to be subtle with your lustful looks because you have failed. That boy knows you want his body.”
“Stop it,” I hissed
Dank came up behind me causing my insides to go all warm and tingly. “She can’t possibly want my body more than I want hers.”
Miranda began fanning herself with her hand, “Dear Lord have mercy, I think I may swoon.”
Excerpt: Streamline by Jennifer Lane
Streamline Excerpt
Leading up to the Streamline Launch Party on Tuesday, March 27th, I'll be posting one excerpt a day.
Today's excerpt comes from the first chapter, which occurs in the swimming pool---one of my favorite places! And I just came from the pool, where I watched the Grand Prix swim meet held by USA Swimming in Columbus, Ohio. I had the pleasure of witnessing Michael Phelps swim the fastest time in the world this year in the 200 Butterfly.I had the pleasure of witnessing Michael Phelps swim the fastest time in the world this year in the 200 Butterfly.
Can you believe his physique? There were some incredible bodies littering the pool deck. I noticed many of the women have tiny breasts (like the heroine of Streamline, Audrey Rose). No wonder my substantial girls and I never achieved the Olympic level of competition when I swam in college!
The hero of Streamline, Leo Scott, is about 10 years younger than Michael Phelps and nowhere near as accomplished. But he has big dreams nonetheless. And quite a few obstacles on the way to reaching those dreams.

“You can do it, Leo,” Audrey whispered from the next lane.
He turned to her and nodded as he adjusted his goggles and set himself ready on the wall. Leo felt confidence envelop him, and his focus narrowed to the now-calm water ahead. His teammates huddled near the lane lines to give him a clear path.
He was the best swimmer on the team, a senior captain. This was his team, and he wouldn’t let them down.
Clicking his stopwatch, Matt called, “Ready, hup!”
Leo pushed off, elbows squeezing ears in a tight streamline. His legs burst into whitewater behind him, propelling him like a motorboat. His fingers extended at the top of the stroke, and his high elbows sculled the water beneath his body. Nothing extraneous, no wasted energy. Everything with purpose. The 100 freestyle was his specialty.
He swam down the length of the fifty-meter pool and quickly flip-turned to begin making his way back. He could hear the faint cheers of his teammates build as he approached. Fighting fatigue, he drove to the wall.
When he lifted his head above the water, all he could hear were his sharp rasps for air. His teammates were silent as they waited to hear whether their tortuous practice was complete.
