NEW RELEASE: ABOUT TOMORROW...
About Tomorrow...
I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar.
My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again.
I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora.
The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England.
Deep down, I knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...
But I hadn't expected to see him again—especially not like this.

Charmed Souls is LIVE!
They say blood is thicker than water, but I was never proud of mine. A female born into the Kamlock bloodline was destined to possess three things they couldn’t change—a crazy as hell mother, an unfair amount of beauty, and a Charmed soul that was as black as night.
All a Kamlock woman ever desired in life was to use her beauty to destroy wealthy men and take their riches. A century had passed since a generation of Kamlock sisters had been anything other than gold diggers.
All I ever wanted was to be free of them. I knew I couldn’t change my cursed birth, but I could change its legacy. I had a job, I had friends, and I was slowly gaining my independence.
Until Rathe Scott crashed into my life and tore it apart.
He made me feel what I had spent my entire life never wanting to feel. He brought out a darkness I’d not known was inside me. And just when I thought I was becoming everything I had sworn I would never become…
*Teasers by Danielle Lagasse

“You’re more than you realize. I’ve tried to tell you that already. I, uh, I don’t think you are who you think you are,” he stopped abruptly then just gave a shake of his head. “You don’t want to hear what I think. Just do me a favor and don’t underestimate your power. You may not agree, but my mother,” he said then pointed at me “and your mother… they are scared of you. There is something we don’t know. But I read people well, and those two are careful not to push you too hard. When you were younger they weren’t as careful around you but the closer you get to twenty-one, things are changing. There is a power shift and you’re so used to the way things have been all your life, you don’t see it.”
This wasn’t the first time Duely had said something like this to me, but it was the first time he had mentioned things shifting the older I got. I still thought he was being dramatic and reading things into situations that weren’t there. I was done arguing that my mother, who had made my life hell from the moment my father died, was scared of me. She hated me. That was clear. She hated that I wouldn’t give her the power of three. She hated that I was stubborn and like my father. She possibly hated that I was half normal. But Persephone Kamlock was by no means scared of me. I let out a hard laugh.
“It’s past time you let that theory go,” I told him.
He lowered his eyebrows in a frown. The frustrated kind, not the angry kind. He wanted me to buy into this idea of me being powerful. I had a mortal as a father. That was impossible to consider.
“Explain then why you feel a dark cast and I feel nothing? How do you know it’s dark? What is it you feel?” He was challenging me now. I didn’t have answers, of course. I was still trying to wrap my head around the disappearing act the caster had done.
“You would have felt it too if you’d seen the man,” I said in way of explanation.
“But I didn’t see him. No one did… but you,” he shot back.
I opened my mouth to remind him that I’d been walking around by myself to get peace. There was no way the man knew he’d see me out there alone. He hadn’t been waiting on me. That was ridiculous. This was getting us nowhere. Duely was done with the evening and wanted to get stoned. He wasn’t going to do much to help me. I just shook my head and turned to walk back to the house. “Maybe I’m crazy!” I called out to him, as I walked, trying to break the tension that had unintentionally built.
“Or maybe you’re darker than you want to accept,” was his response.

The fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Field Party series—a southern soap opera with football, cute boys, and pick-up trucks—from USA TODAY bestselling author Abbi Glines.
Ryker Lee is finally enjoying his senior year—he has great friends, hangs out with hot girls, and is on track to get a football scholarship that will set him up for college. Despite this, a small part of him wonders if there’s more to life than parties and meaningless hookups—and if football even means as much to him as it does to his fellow teammates. And when he meets the new girl at school, his world totally changes…
Aurora McClay is new to Lawton. She’s grateful that her twin brother, Hunter, is star of the football team and can help her adjust to her new school, but she’s not grateful at how overprotective he is over every person she meets. Just because she is deaf does not mean people have to treat her differently.
When she meets Ryker Lee, the two of them spark an instant and intense chemistry, one that proves to be controversial not only because of Ryker’s reputation as a player, but also because of Aurora and
Hunter’s father’s bigoted views about who Aurora can and can’t date. Aurora and Ryker know in their hearts that they are meant for each other. But can their relationship endure the turmoil of rumors and prejudice?

Sweet Little Bitch – COVER REVEAL!
The fourth book in the Sweet Series releases in June!
Fiona
I had never asked for a break. It had been a small request for space so I could think. Just some
time to reflect and search myself. Loving Marty had never been the problem. It was the word
marriage that haunted me. In the end, none of it mattered. Marty proved to be exactly what I
feared. Unfaithful. And he’d fooled me, not once, but twice. There sure as hell wouldn’t be a
third time.
Marty
Three long years and the sight of her still feels like electricity jolting me awake from a sleep I
didn’t realize I was in. Even with plenty of time to mentally prepare for this, being near Fiona
reminded me what I’d never managed to find in another woman. Even if she was crazy as hell.
A mixture of hot, cold, funny, brutal all wrapped into a fucking gorgeous package. When I left
town, I was getting away from any memories of her. Protecting myself the only way I could. But
my twin brother and her half-sister were tying the knot. Unlike us, Shay and Mack could claw
each other’s eyes out one minute and be madly in love the next. Making it through this
wedding weekend was all Mack asked of me. I could do it. I had to. Even if it took all the
whiskey in Savannah. Fiona wouldn’t break me. Not again.

New Store Hours & Brothers Paperback!
First, the summary:
March 5 – April 15 – We will be taking orders for signed paperback copies of Abbi’s self-published books – including Brothers South of the Mason Dixon.
April 3 – April 9 – We will be taking orders for return postage so readers can send in As She Fades to be signed by Abbi. We will provide further details at a later date. Please also note our shipping policies.
We will hold all orders while the store is open and processed the week of April 16 – April 20.
The store will close at midnight on April 15 and remain closed until the next announcement.
A message from Monica Peak – Abbi’s Assistant and Store Manager
To focus on the essential products and to provide the best customer service possible, we have made changes to the way the store will operate.
WE WILL ONLY SELL ABBI’S SIGNED SELF-PUBLISHED BOOKS
The shelves were wiped clean by our massive clearance sale at the end of 2017, so we no longer have t-shirts, candles, or other products for sale.
While we know many of you love the shirts and other swag we have produced over the years; we feel it is time to focus more on Abbi’s books.
Occasionally, we may offer a shirt for sale as limited time offers.
THE STORE WILL BE OPEN FOR LIMITED TIMES WITH LIMITED QUANTITIES
Usually following each book release, we will open the store for a limited time. It will typically be about three (3) weeks, but the first opening is six (6) weeks to cover the As She Fades release as well.
Dates for the store opening and closing will be announced on Abbi’s website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
All of Abbi’s self-published paperback books will be signed and available for purchase.
Following a published book release, return postage will also be available for purchase. This offer will allow readers to send in the recently released, published book for signing. We will provide further details in each announcement.
We will hold all orders while the store is open and process them together the week after the store closes.
If you select two-day, overnight, or express shipping, this will not ensure that you receive the package within that time frame.
CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUR TOP PRIORITY, BUT THERE ARE LIMITS TO WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE
First-class shipping is the cheapest rate available. However, it does not include insurance on your shipment.
First-class shipments lost in the mail, damaged, marked undeliverable, returned to sender, or not received cannot be reimbursed.
Choosing this shipment method is at your own risk.
USPS Priority shipping includes tracking and insurance to a certain amount.
Please make sure your purchase is within the limits of the insurance. If it is not, please purchase additional insurance to cover your shipment.
Once we print the label for your purchase, you will receive an email with the tracking number. Please hold on to that email in case there are any issues with your shipment.
Contact the United States Postal Service with your tracking number to file a claim on the insurance if your shipment is lost, stolen, damaged, marked as undeliverable, returned to sender, etc. Once you have worked out the issue with USPS, you can make your purchase with us again.
Federal Express (FedEx) works similarly to Priority Shipping with USPS. However, FedEx can be cheaper in some scenarios.
Please check the limits of the insurance for the service you select and make sure your purchase is within those limits. If it is not, please purchase additional insurance to cover your shipment.
Once we print the label for your purchase, you will receive an email with the tracking number. Please hold on to that email in case there are any issues with your shipment.
Contact FedEx with your tracking number to file a claim on the insurance if your shipment is lost, stolen, damaged, marked as undeliverable, returned to sender, etc. Once you have worked out the issue with FedEx, you can make your purchase with us again.
If we have made an error with your order, we are more than happy to correct our mistakes. However, we cannot continue to absorb the costly time and expense of shipping errors made on the part of the shipping providers since that is the purpose of the insurance.
Abbi and I would like to thank you all for your faithfulness and your patience as we have worked through many changes in the past several years. I would also like to personally apologize, as the store manager, for the mistakes and lack of timely responses to issues in the store. I desire to operate efficiently and to provide customer service with excellence; it is, for this reason, we are making changes. A great deal of time and thought have gone into working on this new process, but I am sure tweaks will be necessary once implemented. I ask for your continued patience and understanding as we work through any adjustments needed. We are excited about what’s coming in 2018 and look forward to serving you.
