There Was A Time I Wanted To Make People Cry

Let's just face it.


Any time I've sat down to write a book, I go in with the intention of doing something deep and emotional.


What comes out on the other end? Fluff. Fluff and smut. And sometimes there's some really good feelings, but I've never quite achieved the emotional level I've always wanted to achieve.


And then I had an idea for a book. A really, really good idea for a book and I KNEW it would be a good story to challenge how emotional I could make a story. So last October... this conversation went down.


Me: So I have this idea for a story...


Courtney: Wow, that sounds really good. It also sounds really angsty for you.


Me: I know, right!? I'm not sure if I can pull it off on my own.


Courtney: Want to write it together?


Me: Kind of why I'm telling you about it right now...


So a hunt began. And we started shuffling things around, because if we were going to do this, we needed THE PERFECT cover model. And we needed to fit it into both of our publishing schedules.


And now we're ready to tell you about THIS!

Who’s going to catch me when I fall?


Evan


Everything has been taken from me. My home, my family, and the love of my life. Raising a child on my own isn’t how I envisioned my young life full of hopes and dreams. Now, my youth is gone, too. I had been drowning with no way out until him. The one man I didn’t expect to hold my head above water. Simon had married my aunt to hide his secrets, but he’s not afraid of who he is any longer, and is now living a single life. He’s a life force, and my savior when I was all alone in the dark. But he’s become more than just my former uncle, and I want him.


Simon


It was only supposed to be for two weeks, to help Evan out as he grieved while trying to care for a newborn. His aunt couldn’t get away, so I stepped in. But he needed more of my time. And during those couple of weeks, I remembered what it was like to have a family and to be part of something important. So, I uprooted my life in New York and moved back to our small town to help Evan and the baby. But everything has become so much more than that. I shouldn’t want him. Not only is he so much younger, but he used to be my nephew. Our families hate us enough, and I just can’t do that to Evan.
