I am working on the edits of my manuscript as the editors from Sapphire Star put up with my thousands of questions each day. So, I figured I would share scene and give you a sneak peek of part of Gracie and Noah's story.
Feel free to share the link with anyone you think would love to see how this all turns out for Gracie!
I now proudly bring you a single little scene from IN TOO DEEP, due out June 6, 2013

*******************
There
was a noise in my room that brought me out of the state I wanted to stay in
forever; my own little reality. It was a gentler place to live. I liked it
there.
“Hey,
I don’t know what’s going on, but this just came for you.” My roommate, Stacy,
had been one of my closest girl friends since 10th grade and we
transferred to Knoxville together. I opened my eyes and her concerned look
warmed my heart. She touched my back so lightly it sent shivers under my skin.
When
I saw the long white box with the red ribbon, I knew what it was, a beautiful
bouquet of “I’m a shithead, please forgive me” roses. No thank you. All of last
night’s pain came barreling back. I burst into tears and turned my face away
from hers.
“You
wanna tell me what’s going on?”
I
shook my head and laid still.
I
heard her leave the room, grab her keys and leave the apartment. She locked the
door behind her. The dozen or so beers I had had throughout the last evening’s
events were clawing at my bladder. I rolled out of bed and stumbled to the
bathroom. I stood up to flush and ended up dry heaving. I knew it wasn’t a
hangover. I could count on one hand the number of those I’d ever had. This was
a sickness brought on by Noah. Stupid Noah. When I threw myself under Stacy’s
bunk and into my bed I heard a crinkling sound.
My
pillow had rustled a hand written note taped to the headboard of my bed.
“Beautiful
Girl,
Words
cannot describe how badly I feel for what I’ve done. I hate myself for hurting
you. Please accept these flowers as my heartfelt apology. I promise I will
never hurt you again. Please give me another chance; I can’t bear to think of
my life without you.
I
love you,
Noah
P.S.
I will be back at noon to get you for lunch with my mom.”
I
crumbled the note into a tiny ball and threw it across the room. What was he
thinking? I couldn’t do lunch with him and his mom. I ran to the bathroom, dry heaved
then ran over to Jake's apartment...........
And that's all you get today! Hope you enjoyed your little peek,
