Save Me can be read as a standalone.
“I don’t care! Do you hear me? I don’t care Pierce!” She screams at me. She is pissed and breathing fire. She has never looked so beautiful to me. Well when I can see her face and she isn’t turning away from me.
“You care. You can pretend you don’t, but you do. You came all the way out here.” I pause grabbing her hand and swinging her around to face me. “You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t care.” I’m breathing fire now myself, but I don’t care. I pull her closer, until her chest touches mine. I cup my hands around her jaw and lean down to whisper against her lips, “You made me, you broke me, now you’re going to freaking save me.”
Courtney Pierce never thought he would love anyone but Annabella Gage. She was his entire world for eleven years. Even though she was dating his older brother, he couldn’t seem to let her go. Then things shifted and lines became blurred. Pierce wasn’t sure whose bed Annabella should be in anymore.
But Annabella has secrets. Dark secrets she will do anything to protect. So like the crazy witch that she is, she rips Pierce’s heart to shreds and devastates his soul. He’s left with the emotional wreckage and no way out in sight.
Then Rachel Sanders drop kicks into his life. The beautiful brunette is utterly hard to resist and one night of intense passion leads to an unexpected surprise. A surprise that has all their friends shocked, because Rachel and Pierce couldn’t be more different.
Now he’s left with one option and it doesn’t include Annabella. Rachel, though, is full of surprises and Pierce finds their relationship so incredibly easy. Way easier than what he had with Annabella. So easy he finds he didn’t even know what love was before Rachel.
But like any twisted love story, Pierce is hiding dark secrets, too. Secrets that he feels will rip he and Rachel apart. When push comes to shove will Pierce spill those secrets? And if he does, will they separate the new lovers before they even have a chance to begin?
Much like Pierce and Annabella, someone else has something to hide. Let’s hope Rachel sticks around because when this secret comes out. , she’ll be the only one who can save Pierce.
“Courtney!” my mother snaps somewhere outside my consciousness
I blink my eyes open and find that Rachel is still in bed with me. Her face is still in my neck but her body is now on its stomach with my arm around her back and my hand in her panties.
FUCK!
“Ma,” I state, finding her standing at my bedroom door.
Her light brown hair is pulled up and her green eyes shoot fire at me. “Explain why Dr. Sanders’s daughter is in your bed, in your shirt and a pair of panties.”
I groan and look down at Rach to see her eyes open and looking up at me. Her cheeks are red and I want to laugh because I didn’t figure Rach for a blusher. “Ma. Give us a minute.”
My mom throws her hands up in the air and glares at me. “No, I’m not giving you a minute! Oh god, please tell me you weren’t screwing Annabella! I mean, I kind of figured you were sexually active but I just can’t process you and Donovan both with that girl.” Then she shudders. And so does Rach. “I just hoped I never had to see you like this. It’s more than I can take!” Then, seeing as she’s my mom, she walks out and slams the door.
I sigh and rub a hand over my face. “I don’t think you got up in time. Ma doesn’t ever get home before noon.”
“She’s a bit dramatic. No wonder you like Annabella.” Then she giggles. “And me.”
I roll over her and shove my face in her neck. “I like you because you’re the most real person I’ve ever met.”
“You don’t even know me,” she says, trying to push me off.
I lift my head and look down at her. “I know enough. We’ve been at the same school since kindergarten. I’ve had several classes with you. Yeah, I might not have spoken to you all that much but I know enough about you. That’s how I know you’re blunt and I like blunt.”
Her face relaxes into a soft smile and she wraps her arms around my shoulders and pulls my face down to kiss her. Then her eyes pop open. “I seriously have to go home. I’m going to be grounded for life.”
I live in southern Arkansas with my husband and young daughter. There is also an insane Boston Terrier running around. I've always been a lone wolf and find my friends in books. I started writing at a young age and I haven't stopped since. Most days you can find me either glued to my laptop or my kindle. My first novel, This Beautiful Thing was an Amazon best seller for 11 weeks and a year later I'm still tickled to see people enjoy it. I may not be a huge seller but I have the best fans ever and I thank God everyday for every single one of them.
