The journey begins with the first step, but in this case it’s the first word! I’m delving into a new genre, ripe territory and I guess that makes me a virgin of sorts. When I was first encouraged to write the New Adult genre by a really good friend, I was nervous. First person male POV–young male POV. Yikes. But being a virgin is all about exploration, so I jumped in and wrote what I know. What lives and breathes inside me. Pure romance.
This book doesn’t really pretend to be anything, not a clone, or a profound treatise on growing up. It’s about falling in love and finding the one. My characters Aubree Walker and Booker Outlaw have some growing up to do in this book as they fall into each other. I so hope if you take the chance to read this novel, that you will enjoy it and that it takes you back to the freshness of that first aching true love. You know what I’m talking about.
I’ve been so excited to show you this cover. I think it’s soooo, if you’ll excuse my pun, perfect! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Thank you so much to Julie at A Tale of Many Reviews Tours for arranging the cover reveal today. If you see it around, please comment, retweet and share so we can get the word out to everyone.
A Perfect Secret Series: Three perfect girls, three perfect secrets, one unholy trinity
A Perfect Mess
I know what you did last summer.
Aubree Walker, the perfect girl most likely to succeed, is sure there’s only one person who knows what she did.
Booker Outlaw, one of the three Outlaw brothers—all identical, all gorgeous, all from the wrong side of the tracks, and all pure bad boys. He was always the unpredictable one, the one who would be brash enough to make it big self-publishing horror novels on the internet. He promised never to tell, but everyone knows you can never trust an Outlaw.
Then a year later, in the middle of the night, she receives a phone call at Tulane. Her aunt, who took her in after her mother’s death, is in a coma under suspicious circumstances. Now she has to face that one person who knows all about what she did that summer—sexy Booker.
Returning to Hope Parish to be with her aunt, stirs up all those ugly memories. When Aubree starts getting threats, she can’t help but wonder if what she did last summer was tied to her aunt’s “accident.” Afraid, she turns to the only person who knows the truth and Booker doesn’t hesitate to offer his broad shoulder for her to lean on. But Booker has a secret of his own that could crush their fledgling relationship.
As the hot, sultry summer days move on, she finds that even a perfectly smart girl can lose her heart to a perfectly bad boy. What is she going to do when someone starts asking questions Aubree doesn’t want to answer? She’s knee deep into a terribly dangerous, wholly life changing, who-can-she-really-depend-on perfect mess.
Here are teasers for the rest of the series!
A Perfect Mistake, Book #2 – A preacher’s daughter, a reckless Outlaw, and a secret that will change her life forever.
A Perfect Dilemma, Book #3 – The town’s poor little rich girl, a sweet-talking Outlaw, and a secret that will ruin all that she holds dear

Sam – I am so glad you and Kody loved my stories. I’m working on Collared now and it will be out on October 14, 2013! Yes, I will be continuing them. I have another set of four books that will come out in 2014 because I can’t stop writing them. It’s Going to the Dogs II: The Alphas and will include Ian Lassiter, Callie’s brother, Aiden Sinclair, Harper’s brother, and two new heroes, Connor Wentworth, a British West Indies reconstructive surgeon and Jesse Malone, an ex-hockey sportswriter. AND after those stories, I have four more, tehe and four more after that. So no worries. Thank you so much for letting me know how much you enjoyed them. It simply makes my day!
