New Release – Mr. Raredin *pre-order*

Lace

My mom cared about three things. And neither one of them were me. 

It’s the way things were in my life. I didn’t blame her most of the time. I didn’t like myself much either. I could blame my mindset on my teenage hormones, but I was almost eighteen and being a teenager was no longer an excuse.

With my lawful age, also came legal consequences. Mom didn’t have to legally care about me anymore, and her boyfriend didn’t have to hold himself back. Their abuse became too much. Even for me.

Crushing on my gym teacher started off harmless. I couldn’t help myself. He was the only thing that didn’t hurt in my life. But mistakes were made. Desires were unquenchable. Pain became too much. And all I wanted was him.

Loving him was against the rules, but I never cared much for rules… not the way I cared about him.

Mr. Raredin

I wasn’t supposed to be in Sage Willow. 

I was supposed to be an athlete, married, and undamaged. Instead, I was a gym teacher at Sage Willow High School, divorced, with a tear in my mcl. My injury ruined my career, my marriage, and my life. 

I expected depression. I anticipated failure. I even wanted the nothing eventually.

What I didn’t expect was Lace Ryan.

Falling in love with my student was never my intention. I never saw her coming. But once I did, I’d do anything to save her from her life.

Including sacrificing my own.

Mr. Raredin is a passionate, intense, and touching student-teacher romance. There are exceptions to almost every rule, and this love story is proof that just because it’s off-limits doesn’t mean it isn’t worth fighting for. 

Mr. Raredin releases May 4th!

The Solidity of Us got a makeover!

~ shanaauthor ~ Leave a comment

The Solidity of Us got a fresh new makeover and I couldn’t more proud of this new cover and doubly proud of the story.

SUMMARY:

Beauty that close mixed with such turmoil was a cocktail of enriched poison—I wanted to drink it anyway…

Things with Cade didn’t start that way. They weren’t that easy, and they weren’t that smooth, but I assure you, some of the best love stories didn’t start out with ease and without bumps. How can anything that’s solid be simple? Cade and I both needed a solid ground. We’d earned it. 

This is the story of how I, Bray Gideon, Los Angeles transplant, lost soul, ran away to her mother’s hometown of Well Water, Kentucky, and discovered how love could heal the wounds of the past and strengthen the hope of my future.

This is the story of Cade Montgomery, a man who’d ran for so long all it took was one night with the right woman to set his demons free. And boy, did those demons hurt. They got in the way and they held his happiness over his head and mocked his scars.

Those demons took as much as they ruined.

But love was stronger.

It was greater.

Love was… solid.

NEW STORY ANNOUNCEMENT!

I’ve been working on a story that I’m so proud of. Every story I write offers me some form of escape. Whether I do so in the story itself or in the characters, I like to get away. This new story was a pleasure to disappear inside of. It had so many places to hide and watch the characters spin angst and passion. I’m so excited to announce my next upcoming release: THE SOLIDITY OF US!  It’s a contemporary romance, teeming with the most intense and true love story I’ve written to date. Release date is March 5thth!

Blogger sign-ups, and cover reveal info coming soon!
