I received some really incredible
news that I want to share with you all – Come
To Me Quietly will be published with New American Library/Penguin as part
of a two-book deal and should come out no later than early 2014—just a little
bit longer than first anticipated, but I do hope it will be worth the wait. This
will be the first time any of my books have been widely distributed in print to
bookstores, and I can’t wait for the chance for more readers to have access to Come To Me Quietly.
AND the good news is since Come To Me Quietly will be pushed back,
you all are going to get more of Christian Davidson sooner rather than later. Christian
and Elizabeth’s story from Lost to You
and Take This Regret will be coming
late summer. Stay tuned J
But first let’s take a closer
look at my latest working manuscript, Come
To Me Quietly. I can’t even wait to get Jared and Aleena into your hands.
Jared Holt has absolutely taken over my heart and mind, and I hope you fall in
love with him just as hard as I have. Come
To Me Quietly will be packed with all the emotion you’ve come to expect
from my novels, but it’s also a whole lot sexier and much Closer. So here you go—the complete synopsis for Come To Me Quietly.
Aleena Moore is content with her
life. She has goals and dreams and an easy smile. She also has a secret she
holds locked inside.
Jared
Holt believes he doesn’t deserve to love or be loved. He destroys everything he
touches. Haunted by the mistake that shattered his life, he’s fled from the
memory of that pain.
Jared
doesn’t know why he’s compelled to return, but finds himself drawn back to the
place where it all began. The exact place where it ended. When he runs into his
childhood best friend, Aleena’s older brother Christopher, he agrees to share
Christopher and Aleena’s apartment while he looks for a place of his own.
Aleena
is no longer the little girl Jared remembers from his past and evokes feelings
in him he never wanted to feel again. Terrified of destroying her, he fights to
keep her away. But her touch is something he can’t resist—the touch that sealed
his fate.
Their
pasts are intertwined and their futures uncertain. The only truths they know
are the secrets they whisper in the night.
A
taste of what I’ve been tossing around as I delve into Jared and Aleena’s
World:
Dashed lines blur until they become a solid line. My
bones vibrate from the thousands of miles I’ve spent straddling this leather
seat, the muscles in my right arm screaming from the hours my hand has been
locked on the throttle.
But I don’t stop. I can’t, and I don’t know why.
Something in my gut spurs me forward. I plough ahead.
Hot air blasts my face and my hair thrashes in
uncontrolled chaos.
I bite back a bitter laugh.
Uncontrolled chaos. That’s exactly how they described
me.
The desert sky goes on forever, an ocean of the deepest
blue. The city rises like a beacon in the distance. Because I am drawn.
What am I doing?
There is nothing here for me. I know it. I’ve already
destroyed it all. I destroy everything I touch.
Still I can do nothing but press on.
