I have been holding in this news for what feels like forever, and finally, I can shout it from the rooftops!!

I am very excited to share that I am diving into the New Adult market. I have two books coming out with Entangled Embrace in 2014...and perhaps some additional news to share in the coming weeks. Lots of fun for sure, so to celebrate I'd like to offer a fun giveaway. This is how this will work: add OVER THE EDGE to your TBR on Goodreads and tweet and/or mention it on Facebook and you are entered to win a signed copy of GRAVITY and HOVER. Already have both books? Well, I love you now, don't I! No problem, I will give you a $10 Amazon Giftcard. Sound fun? Yay! To tell you a little bit about OtE, it is set against a New York City backdrop and surrounds the falling for the boss trope. It is seriously intense and romantic and at times juicy. In short, I think ya'll are going to love it! So go enter and help me spread the word! :) http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/8a539b5/ " rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway
