Skipping Stones Cover Reveal and Release Date
Synopsis
They say there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Not everyone will grieve in this order, nor will everyone go through every stage. It’s during the stage of denial when Alex Hart meets Andrew Foster. He takes her one-step closer to acceptance: the stage when new, meaningful relationships are formed. The stage when the realization occurs that this is now the new state of normal.
Just when Alex thinks she is on her way to healing, she enters the bargaining phase. That’s the phase where you wonder what you could have done differently. You wonder “what if?” Specifically, what if the ones you loved hadn’t left you?
Leaving…this is what makes heading off to war so difficult and frightening for Alex. She knows all too well what it’s like to be the one on the losing end of life, which is why she’s made it her personal mission in life to save as many lives as possible. The extreme high she gets from treating trauma victims turns into Alex’s own form of therapy, or so she thinks.

Her body inches closer. “I like that idea.” Soon our lips are so close. I lean in, and just before I kiss her an idea comes to me. “Ah. You want me to kiss you?”
“Uh huh.”
“How badly?” I ask as I use my fork to break away a morsel of the moist cake. “Enough to have a bite of this?” I bring it between our faces, right in front of her mouth. “Mmm. Better hurry before I take it...and that’d be no kiss for you.” I stare at her, refusing to break our gaze. “Five. Four. Three –”

Tuesday Teaser
*Click to enlarge*
The storm is easing up. These pop up summer thunderstorms can be scary. I know God isn’t an angry God. But sometimes I feel like storms are his way of just screaming at us. They are much like us. Our tears are the rain, our cries are the thunder, and the lightening is the sword stabbing us right where it hurts the most, setting us on fire. Nothing good comes from lightening other than the magical facade of it. It’s intriguing. It’s draws us in like a magnet. It excites us, yet scares us. It’s dangerous, yet entertaining. It’s all the things he was for me.

“Did you have a nice nap, Alex dear?” Memaw asks.
My voice cracks. My throat is dry, but I don’t want anything to drink at this point. “I did. Interesting how well you can sleep when you’re emotionally and physically exhausted,” I admit.
“No nightmares?” Papa interjects.
I shake my head. “Not this time.”
He nods. “Good girl.” I can see his lips curve into a smile. “Therapy seems to be helping you.”
I glance out of the window. I’m not sure that it’s the therapy as much as it is Drew Foster. The few times I don’t have nightmares have been replaced with dreams that consist of white horses, carriages, glass slippers, and a certain prince charming. The thought makes me smile. “Sure,” I acknowledge. Maybe it’s the combo. I’ll let them believe what they want. I’ll believe what I want. The true therapy is Drew.
Tune in on August 12th for the Skipping Stones cover reveal! If you're a blogger and would like to sign up to be a part of the reveal, you can do so here.

Withstanding Me Synopsis
While the chaos and bloodshed have slowed for a short period, life is never quiet in the world of Breakneck. The club is taking time to regroup from internal betrayal and the changing of the guard in a rival group.
Zig Zag became a father at the age of thirteen. While raising a child has never been easy, now his eighteen year old daughter Tatiana makes his life downright hard. She has caught the eye of Travis, the new President of the rival MC Gunners, but all she really wants is Shadow, the newest addition to the Breakneck family. When Shadow’s rejection sends Tatiana running from the only family, home, and safety she’s ever known, ZZ is crazy with worry. The distraction caused by Tatiana’s disappearance could prove to be Zig Zag’s downfall.
If that isn’t enough, ZZ finds himself rampantly attracted to the one and only Storm. She’s beautiful, quick and witty. Their friendship is the one thing that keeps him from growing crazy, and Storm stands by ZZ through all the turmoil. Zig Zag is not accustomed to hearing the word no, so Storm’s constant withstanding just draws him in deeper.
Their friendship is one thing keeping him from going crazy, until one night…
The club is regrouping and rebuilding from the mayhem known as the Russian Mafia. A hit is ordered on Tatiana, Storm, Winter, and Piper. Braxxon is out of reach while he helps Greg Cage deal with some dirty business. Tatiana’s egg donor reveals secrets that a thirteen year old Zig Zag was too young to understand.
Bloodshed… Secrets… Betrayal… Trauma… Welcome back to the Breakneck world.

Resenting Me Synopsis
One look at the beautiful Hawaiian flower dancing on stage at his buddy’s strip club and Pyro’s world changes. He’s lost, captivated, head over heels. He tries to stay away, resist her charms, but he just can’t find the strength to do it. Instead, he hires Hazel and Winter as entertainment for the Breakneck President’s thirtieth birthday party, unknowingly putting the girls’ lives in danger.
Hazel convinces Winter to take the Breakneck gig so that she can get closer to Pyro. Playing the temptress to the max, Hazel appears on stage wearing white angel wings, and little else, drawing Pyro in to where she wants him. Needless to say, they both get very little sleep that night.
One night together making love until the sun comes up and these two are in too deep. But this is the Breakneck world, and sunrise brings gunfire and bloodshed. Time brings Winter’s abduction and brutal rape. Hazel’s guilt burrows deep, and she pushes everyone away. She is resenting herself for convincing Winter to enter this Breakneck world. She is resenting Pyro for ensnaring her heart.
This is the story of Pyro and Lana. It is simply the story of how, sometimes, love just isn’t enough.
