Fragments of Ash
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- Special pre-order price of $2.99 for a limited time only! -- EXCERPT: My mind skitters to her face—her beautiful fucking face—and the way she stared at me with those wide eyes and her lips lightly parted. Those lips. She has Angelina Jolie lips. Scarlett Johanssen lips. Liv-fucking-Tyler from the “Crazy” video lips. Except this chick doesn’t look like Liv. She’s got blonde hair and a perfect pout like Alicia Silverstone. I remember the beginning of that video when our girl, Alicia, climbs out a bathroom window in her Catholic school uniform, her skirt riding up to show her black lace panties…and ahhh, yes, I feel my cock twitch just picturing it. Fuck my life. Shit. Shit. Shit. She looked to be about Noelle’s age—somewhere between eighteen and twenty, and ridiculously young to suddenly arrive alone in the middle of nowhere, put up in an old farmhouse by a couple of aging queens. How in the fuck is this her best option? Who is she? And what exactly is her deal? I grimace because the headlines of her story—the easy parts—start materializing as I think about what I know about her. I didn’t do all that training for nothing. Plus, I have good instincts. I could practically smell it on her—the fear, the desperation, the way she wouldn’t meet me eyes except to insist that she was an adult. God, what a joke. If she’s an adult, I’m a French poodle. Then something occurs to me: it was Jock’s boyfriend, Gus, who gave away the most important part of her story away. She has nowhere else to go. And then something else occurs to me, and I wonder, Is she in hiding? This girl—what’s her name? Amber? Audrey?—is in trouble. Big trouble. The kind of trouble that gets other people in hot water when they were just trying to live their lives and mind their own business. And she’s been dumped on my doorstep. Literally.

No, get your mind out of the gutter. Not THAT kind of horny.
I'm talking about the horns on my head. It doesn't matter how I try to disguise them with updo’s and headscarves; they're two permanent, pointy reminders of my parentage - a feisty Fairy Godmother for a mom, and a towering ogre with poor impulse control for a dad.
I can’t help stand out even as I try desperately to blend in.
And now I've gone and turned into a Big Bad.
My heart is in tatters, and I've turned the man I love from sexy stud into a sad sack.
And the worst part?
Despite everything I've done to him, Stefan's still willing to fight to find our Happy Ever After and he’s determined to prove there’s a halo held up by my horns!

He leans toward me, his lips at my ear, “I love you. Always,” he whispers, the words vibrating from my eardrum to my chest where a hopeful heat kills me even more.
“Y-y-you need to move on,” again the words filling my mouth with bile, but I keep it hidden.
“As you wish,” he responds turning away from me.
Reaching out I grip his hand, reveling in the familiar electric current from his touch.
“Did you just Pretty in Pink and The Princess Bride me?” I ask realizing where I’d heard the words he spoke.
A small tug pulls up one side of his mouth, “I did. I’m going now to grab my old boom box to hold up outside your house while screaming ‘nobody puts Mal in a corner’ and leaning against a red Porsche across the road so when the cars clear you’ll see me standing there.”
My mouth gapes open. He’s prepared to act out every eighties movie I love. I’m stunned, my mind racing, he pushes me back into the house. His hands on my hips bleeding fire through my shirt.
“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. Hell, breathing hurts, Mallory. I. Love. You. There never will be another woman for me,” he aligns his forehead with mine, “We can make this work. We have to cause I will not survive another day without you in it.”
 
  Billie Dale lives in no-where middle earth. Lost in a small village in the Midwest with four kids, three animals and an amazing, word inspiring book boyfriend worthy husband.

Excerpt:
I feel my mouth drop open slightly as I gawk at him. Makes me wonder what he’s talking about and if I can be nosey and pry just for a bit. I just have no idea what to say. I continue to stare with a slightly open mouth as I rock back and forth on my bare feet. I feel a chill run down my spine that makes me shiver and I immediately pull the white robe around me tighter. I watch Eric as he swallows and drags his hand down his face. He looks up at me with a pout. “I think I’m still trying to figure out why I had the accident. I certainly didn’t plan it. It just…” His voice fades off and he shakes his head. “I should have died that day.” I give my head a little shake. “It wasn’t your time.” “Do you really believe that?” I chew on my lip softly for a second as I think things over and finally give a little nod. “I do. Clearly you weren’t meant to die on that road that day, Eric.” He moves closer to me, so close that I can feel warmth radiating off his body. Another chill rushes down me and I hug myself tighter. I look up at Eric who is staring intently at me. “What did Lucian do to you?” “It just didn’t work out.” I shrug. “We tried, he…I just wasn’t right for him.” “He wasn’t right for you, you mean?” I feel the blast of warm air and smell of peppermint of his breath. I feel my body give a little shudder as Eric seems to lean a little closer to me. I can hear each breath he takes as he begins to study me again. I keep my eyes forward, a little nervous to look him in the eyes. I stare ahead at his neck and begin counting his heartbeat as I see each pulse throb…one, two, three, four, five…. “I’m just trying to figure you out.” I giggle. “There’s nothing to figure out.” “I’m willing to bet that there’s a lot more to you than you let on.” He tells me pushing my hair off my shoulder. I shake my head. “I really hate to disappoint you. I’m pretty much an open book.” His lips twist up at the corners. “An open book, huh?” I take a deep breath in and smell nothing but the sweet peppermint from his mouth. He’s standing incredibly close and I hadn’t noticed him take a step forward. “If you’re such an open book then why don’t you tell anyone what Lucian did to you?” My mouth drops. What exactly is he trying to get out of me? The fact that I fell a little too hard and fast for Lucian and ended up having him crush my heart? I’d rather not take a trip down memory lane, thank you very fucking much. “Elle,” Eric’s voice grows soft as he leans down very slowly. I look into his eyes. I can’t think. I can’t speak. The smell of peppermint is intoxicating. My surroundings become blurry. I part my lips slowly and I feel my eyes begin to close. “Eric.” Lucian’s voice makes me gasp and jump back as he walks into the room. “I just wanted to see if you were finished.” I step away from Eric, slightly shaken up, and a little confused. I cross my arms and take a very deep breath. I release it slowly and count to five to relax myself. Eric turns and gives Lucian a nod as he seems a little distraught himself. “Just finished.” “I…I should get dressed.” I say, looking at Eric who is running a hand through his hair as Lucian is telling him that he can have the proofs ready in a few hours if needed. Eric gives him a little nod, but his head turns to me. “Did you have a good shoot, Elle?” I hear Lucian’s voice and even though I understand that he is talking to me I can’t take my eyes off Eric. Eric smiles. “Did you have a good shoot, Elle?” He repeats, looking back at Lucian who is staring at us both like we’re crazy. I shake out of the haze of peppermint and Eric’s blue eyes to nod. “It was great. I really hope they like the photos.” “She was stunning,” Eric adds. “They’ll blow everyone away.” Lucian raises his eyebrows and cocks his head slightly. “Alright, well…I can’t wait to see them. I bet they’re great.” “I’m really cold…I’m just going to get dressed.” Eric and Lucian both give me a nod and as I walk away I can feel their eyes on me. I have no clue what just fucking happened. I feel…a little panicked to be quite honest. I nearly kissed Eric. Or…did Eric almost kiss me? I have no idea. My heart is still pounding at the thought. I swear to God…looking in his eyes is just like being charmed by a snake who is about to eat you. Completely unaware of anything around you except him. And that…is terrifying.
