A broken soldier …
Dylan Meyer lived his life fast
and hard, doing anything to keep his emotions masked. In Crystal Gulf, Texas,
women, drugs, and alcohol are in abundance. After all, it’s a college town. But
eventually, his lifestyle caught up to him. The birth of his daughter, Aubrey,
forced him to grow up and take responsibility for his actions. He let his vices
go, cleaned up his act, and allowed himself to fall for Harley Evans.
But Dylan is a liar.
He lied to himself. To Harley. To
his best friend, Bach. And then he lied himself right into a U.S. Army uniform.
When he went to war, he left Harley with his best friend in hopes that he’d
look out for her while he was deployed. Not in his darkest nightmares did he
think Bach and Harley would fall in love.
A fallen angel …
Hillary Hayes is an
eighteen-year-old sophomore in college who understands the importance of rules.
She’s followed them her entire life. She gets perfect grades, avoids dating,
and won’t stray from the future her mother mapped out. On the outside, she’s
perfect. Inside, she’s drowning.
That carefully crafted future
disappears when she downs a beer at a party. What’s left of that night is the
wreckage of the girl she used to be.
Until she meets Dylan. Her
brother’s best friend.
When Dylan returns from war, he
can’t move past the betrayal. His daughter’s growing up without him. Flashbacks
and PTSD from his time in Afghanistan consume him. He loses himself in a dark
depression. There is no light in his darkness …until he meets Hillary. His best
friend’s little sister is the only good thing among all the bad.
He’s her safe place.
She’s his light.
Can two damaged souls ever find
peace, or is the damage too much to overcome?

AUTHOR’S NOTE and CONTENT WARNING: This story contains triggers for rape
victims and soldiers. I did my best to remain respectful to the healing process
for both. Hillary’s feelings are hers alone and ONLY represent how she feels
about her attack. Dylan’s emotions about his time at war are his ALONE. You are
all strong and beautiful, and you will soar again! ***

Sequel
to:
—
Before I met Harley, this was who
I was. A man who used whatever he wanted to use to forget the darkness of his
past. A man who hurt to hide his hurt. And a man who lied to hide the truth.
When I came home and woke up from surgery, Bach kept me in the dark for some
time before he told me the truth. He’d taken my girl when he promised to watch
out for her. Ever since that day, I’d let the lies go and slid back into my old
skin.
This was Dylan Meyer.
This was Dylan Meyer.
Like him or not.
A man who had fallen too many times to bother trying to get up again. I’d lie there, on the floor, with gravel in my wounds and my eyes staring up at the midnight sky until I found this uncomfortable position comfortable again.

Author Info
When I walk into a book store I
feel at home. When I smell the pages of a brand new book things make sense.
When I read I am who I always wanted to be. I read to escape and I write so
others can as well. My family, my actress dog Bella, coffee, and a steamy love
story are a few of my most precious things. My Sweet Demise is my debut
new-adult contemporary romance novel.
