Read 'The Pieces We Leave Behind' for only $0.99 through Oct. 1!
Hey, everyone! It's me--Elle.
I'm dropping in to let you all know that my latest release,The Pieces We Leave Behind, will be available for only $0.99 now through October 1st!
If you've had this one on your TBR and you don't have KU, now is a great time to pick it up at a pretty heavy discount!
The Pieces We Leave Behind is a spicy small town romance and an emotional journey of self-discovery. It has been on the Amazon best seller list in the Small Town & Rural Fiction category. Please check trigger warnings for this book because there are quite a few. This book deals with some very real and heavy subject matter, but there is a HEA when it's all said and done.
Blurb:
"It gets easier…I know it hurts now, but one day, you'll wake up, and you'll just be okay. It'll happen sooner than you think."
Have you ever had something happen that changed the way you looked at everything? Like someone pulled a string and unraveled the delicate threads of the sweater that made up your reality?
For me, that moment was at a party I shouldn’t have been at on the day of my grandmother’s funeral.
I went home and got into a car I shouldn’t have gotten into.
It was only supposed to be for the summer. One summer in Lost Hollow. Just a few weeks to clear my head.
And then, I met him.
And everything else fell apart, too.
Someone once told me that we leave pieces of ourselves with every person we meet and in every place we go. She said it was a good thing—the best thing, even.
But what happens when they’re the pieces we can’t afford to lose? How do you get them back?

Coming Soon: A Little Unstable
Coming Soon: A Little Unstable
A Little Unstable is a standalone, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers NA college romance. It's told from dual POV over two timelines (high school & college).
If you've read my books before, it shouldn't surprise you that this is not for the faint of heart. It's got its share of content and trigger warnings, including sexual content, profanity, suicidal ideation, and bullying.
Blurb:
"I think maybe it will be better this way. It’s better when people show their true colors early on. His colors were anger and resentment. Mine, as much as I didn’t want them to be, were detached and far too lonely. We wouldn’t blend well. We couldn't make anything beautiful. Still, the hurt squeezes and crushes me, and I wonder if it would feel like that every time I saw him from this day on."
It's been two years since Mila Lindley moved into the apartment next to Tristan Li's house. It's been a year since he moved out and they both thought they'd be able to breathe again—Tristan, because he was finally free of the hometown he felt suffocated him, and Mila, because she was finally free of Tristan.
Or so she thought. Until now.
Walking into her first college course and accidentally sitting down next to him was bad enough. Finding out they'd be lab partners for the semester was a nightmare. Managing not to kill each other over the next four months was going to be impossible.
Ultimately, the two realize what they're really fighting is their electric, but sometimes toxic, attraction. But what will happen if they finally give in? Will they live happily ever after or will the damage they've already done, the words left unsaid, and the secrets they've kept from each other eventually destroy them?
Told through dual point-of-view over two different timelines, Tristan and Mila's tumultuous story is an emotional rollercoaster showing us what can happen—both good and bad—when we bare our souls to another person and how love might look and feel differently when our pasts have left us just a little unstable.

ARCs for Broken Reverie Coming Soon!
Blurb:
“Sometimes, it feels like my life has become a revolving door of the living the same day over and over again, and the moments where I actually feel alive have become just that—only moments.”
From the outside, Evie Hale has the perfect life: a successful writing career, lots of friends, and the perfect fiancé.
She has what everyone else wants—the most that anyone could reasonably ask for—and yet, it isn’t enough, and she’s not quite sure why.
Evie manages to stuff it down, to quiet the part of her inside that’s screaming something is wrong until she runs into Adrian—a small and seemingly insignificant part of her past who evokes something in her she hasn’t felt in a long time.
With a wedding looming near and everyone’s eyes and expectations weighing heavily on her, what will she do?
***
Broken Reverie is completed and in its last editing stages.
While Ruby and Jake are in this story, and you will get some closure there, Broken Reverie focuses on Evie. We get to see what is going on in her life and relationship that has her so apprehensive about the unexpected proposal at the end of Broken People, and those issues ultimately culminate in an affair. It's spicier than BP, but also not as dark, as she doesn't have that kind of darkness in her past.
Content Warning: sexual content and profanity.
Trigger Warning/Spoiler: This book does detail an affair, and I know that can be a trigger for some people and, at times, it's admittedly uncomfortable. A lot of times, books like these will make the offended party into a monster, and eventually reveal they're a big fat cheater that never cared about the MC in the first place. While the couple has their differences that threatens to destroy the relationship from the beginning, I didn't do that.
I'm super happy with how well Evie's story fell into place, and I hope you will all love it as much as I do.
Enjoy the ride.
