Okay, so you guys have obviously noticed I have been totally slacking on the blog lately—for a while... I've been so busy with editing and baseball and just trying to keep my head straight, by the time I have some downtime, I don't even want to think about the computer :-).
I have a dream that some day I'm going to find that perfect balance and be able to get back to blogging and writing too! It can happen, right?
Anyway, I'm really cutting it close here, but TODAY (May 31, 2013), Melissa Andrea has released a new novel, The Edge of Darkness (Darkness Trinity), and I was fortunate enough to get to work with her on it! Lemme tell ya, you will LOVE it!
Catch a sneak peek below...
The Edge of Darkness
After a tragic accident, Araya Noelle is left with a
constant reminder that nothing is forever.
She is forced to give up her chance to be the youngest
dancer accepted into Julliard, and taking over their high-society school by a
graceful storm of determination is no longer an option. Instead of dwelling
over her loss, she accepts the new future she’s been dealt. In a world as black
as hers, there's no room for bitterness, no time for regret. Sheltered from the
outside world, Araya has become suffocated by a life she has no control over.
Until Ryland Dare comes crashing into her life.
You don’t know true darkness until you've felt light…
Like a firecracker showering her with colorful sparks of
freedom, Ryland quickly sweeps Araya away from her grey existence. For the
first time since the accident, living in darkness is no longer something Araya
wants to do willingly. Unleashed by the shadows of her reminder, being with
Ryland, Araya touches light. Together they will learn what it’s like to feel
alive for the first time.
At the edge of darkness, a ray of light, will dare them both
to HOPE.
DARE them to LOVE.
DARE them to LIVE.
EXCERPT:
I heard him move and his hand shot out, wrapping around the
back of my neck, pulling me hard against his body and pressing me into the
wall. His hands slid up, holding my cheeks, and he nuzzled the side of my face.
It became too much effort to leave my eyes open and they slid shut as his lips
found mine again. I knew what he was attempting to do, but his plan was
backfiring.
My body sighed at the contact, and every curve molded against him,
desperate to feel all of him.
“If I feel you beneath me, I won’t be able to stop, Araya,”
he rasped against my mouth. “I want you too damn much! I want you, all of you.
I want to be buried so deep inside of you, you won’t know where I end and you
begin.” His breath showered my lips with warmth.
“I won’t want you to stop, Ryland. I need you, all of you,
now and—”
“And the rest?” He cut me off before I could finish.
I could feel his eyes moving over my face, flushing my skin
with the intensity of his stare. The rhythm of my heart increased, because I
knew what he wanted me to say.
“Say it,” he growled against my lips.
“I don’t want to know where you end and I begin, Ryland.”

Meet the author:
I find it hard to sum up my life in a paragraph, but I’ll try.
I am the author of Flutter, The Discover Series! Reading
has always been a passion for me, and writing is as instinctive as breathing.
Every inhale is an idea, every exhale a creation. The only thing I do better than writing, you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughters will always be my greatest accomplishment.
I was born in Denver, Colorado, but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother, & my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by.
Four things you should know about me: I’m very girly, but I can get down and dirty
with the best of them. I adore the color pink and things that sparkle
(including vampires). I am a firm believer that chocolate cures ALL, and I like
even numbers (hence four things about me, not five). Okay, maybe I cheated a littlewith my list, shhhh.
