Book excerpt: *NOTE: this book is a standalone in the same world as The Proposal (different couple). You can read them in any order. I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next. Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were thirty we’d marry each other. But then I’m taken captive by someone else and told I am the sacrifice, that I’m now property. A payment for a debt that has nothing to do with me. Now I wish I could go back to that boring, safe life. Because this can’t possibly be my fairy tale. NOTE: This is a dark contemporary standalone that occurs in the same world as The Proposal. This book can be read first or completely by itself. If you like dark alpha male billionaires that kidnap the heroine into a contract marriage of convenience, you'll love The Sacrifice.

Book excerpt: My life has been anything but a fairytale. From a drunk of a mother that didn't want me, to a much older boyfriend that exploited me, nothing about growing up has been easy. Abandoned and lonely more times than not, I sought attention in any way I could get it. It's said birds of the same feather flock together. I found companionship in my best friend Lux. Both of us living in Hell, we were determined to get out or die trying. Atlanta is where we found a home, and despite our many differences as adults, she'll always be my sister.Chaos started with a tattoo. A new shop came to town, and the owner has a rep most artists would kill for, me included. I knew my one dream would never be a reality for me. All I wanted was to carry a piece of ink that was created by him. Happy birthday to me. I had no idea that one tattoo would change everything for me. Dreams would come true. Nightmares would become reality. Irresponsibility would breed consequences. My world would turn dark. Hell has a way of finding you. Murder, crime, secrets-all things forced on me. But in the end, two broken people would fall in love, and sometimes a world of darkness is more beautiful than anything found in the light.Note: This is Shadows in the Dark books 2-3, Kross and Delta's story, compiled into one book.

Or something along those lines. Write whatever you want and slap my name on it. I loved it that much.' - Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author "I have never had an author move me to the point that I felt I needed to get in my car and go after someone who was fictional." --Tina Reber, NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author of the LOVE series "Absolutely amazing! I have not been this captivated by a book, by a series, in years! Thank you to everyone who told me to read these." -- Aleatha Romig, NYT Bestselling Author of the Consequences series "I'm very stingy with five stars. I usually only give those to modern classics or books that I am absolutely crazy about. Here is why I think CID deserves five...." -- Tarryn Fisher, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Love Me With Lies series "Just know that I think it was an exhilarating (albeit somewhat exhausting) reading experience and I LOVED it. And... I appreciated it even more once I was done. I felt mostly... complete. Crazy right? Ahhh but sometimes, it just is what it is. It was rich, well rounded, uncomfortable, exciting and scary (in multiple ways). Emotionally affecting. I lived it, I didn't just read it, although I was VERY happy to be on this side of the book. *phew* I may enjoy the fictional thrill and I may like it crazy at times, but I'm very content on the "safe" side of life." -- Maryse, Maryse's Book Blog
