11 MORE DAYS!!!
Only
11
more days until the release of JUST FOR NOW.
Preston Drake and Amanda Hardy have been around since the beginning of the Sea Breeze Series. They make appearances in every book.
In Breathe, Amanda becomes Sadie White's friend.
In Because of Low , Amanda is dealing with her family issues along with her brother Marcus.
In While It Lasts her appearance is very brief but it clued most readers in to just who the next book was going to be about.
For Preston, his part in Breathe is as Marcus Hardy's best friend. He shows up and is comic relief mostly.
In Because of Low , he is on Cage York's baseball team as well as a fixture in Marcus's life.
In While It Lasts, he only makes a few brief appearances. One of those is with Amanda and the hint as to what is coming next is very strong.
I've know Preston wasn't exactly what he appeared to be since his first appearance in Breathe. I knew he had secrets but I wasn't sure if I'd ever delve into his life. After Because of Low I knew just who was going to make him want to change and exactly how severe his issues were. I had no doubt that after I told bad boy Cage York's story that I'd have to tell readers about Preston next. He is quite possibly the deepest character to date for me. Weird, I know, considering he has always been portrayed as the playboy. Looks can be deceiving and for Preston Drake that is exactly the case.
Until it's release you can read a small portion of the prologue here
You can read an excerpt here
You can watch the book trailer here
You can add it to your Goodreads shelf here
and you can read below the last sneak peek before its release. (It's a steamy one that I've shared this week on my Facebook page. If you don't follow that page then this will be new to you.)
JUST FOR NOW excerpt
Warning: It is very hot and is not suitable for young readers.
“Manda, please baby, tell me to stop,” he begged in a deep husky voice while he trailed kisses from my mouth to my neck, where he began licking and nip
ping the tender skin there.
“I don’t want to,” I gasped out as his finger entered me easily.
“So sweet. So wet. I shouldn’t be able to touch you. I’m not good enough.” His tortured voice only turned me on more. I opened my legs and he sank down between them as his fingers eased in and out of me.
“You’re so warm,” he murmured as he kissed down my chest and finally let go of my hands so that he could use his free hand to slid up the inside of my shirt. He chose that moment to start rubbing his thumb over my clit. I cried out and clung to both his arms. I was so close.
“No,” he bit out and then he was gone.
My breathing was labored and my body parts started screaming in protest. I wanted him back. Touching me.
“No! I can’t do this. I shouldn’t have started it.” Preston was standing up when I opened my eyes. His face looked fierce and he wasn’t looking at me. Instead, he was focused on the dark sky.
“This is wrong,” he said again in a determined voice.

http://www.abbiglines.com/2012/10/fal...
Fallen Too Far
The release date isn't set just yet but I am aiming for a February release. A new series. Adult romance genre...
To want what you’re not supposed to have…
She is only nineteen.
She is his new stepfather’s daughter.
She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.
But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.
Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…
Blaire just may have fallen too far.

Just For Now - sneak peek
Coming October 23, 2012
I gave you a small portion of the prologue last month. You can find it here: CLICK FOR Peek at the PROLOGUE(Warning it is rated R)
Here is a new sneak peek
I started to respond when Dewayne’s eyes widened and he let out a low whistle. I followed his gaze and almost swallowed my damn tongue. Amanda was here. Wearing a short white clingy dress. Her long tanned legs looked even longer with the bronze high-heeled sandals she was wearing. Her silky blond hair was pulled up on her head but several curls had fallen loose and brushed her bare neck and shoulders. Ah, hell. “Is she with Jason Stone? Fuck, I hope not. Marcus is gonna be pissed.” Dewayne’s words slapped me in the face. I tore my eyes off her and looked to see whose arm it was she was holding onto. Jax Stone’s brother was smiling down at her saying something. He was making her laugh. She was gazing up at him like he was fascinating. Fuck. A red haze settled over my vision and I started to move. A hand clamped down on my arm and jerked me back.
“What the hell are you doing?” Dewayne’s hard tone surprised me. What was I doing? “I, he, she… I don’t know.” I didn’t look back at Dewayne. I couldn’t explain that asinine answer. Instead, I turned to the bar tender. “Make that a double and keep ‘em coming.”

Book #4 in the Sea Breeze series - JUST FOR NOW- will release on October 23.
This Monday September 24 is the cover reveal and book trailer reveal for Just for Now. So many awesome bloggers signed up for it and thanks to Julie at A Tale of Many Reviews for pulling it all together. She's awesome. If you're an author, I'd seriously check Julie out for cover reveals and blog tours.

Many readers have found it but those who haven't read Ceaseless have been asking for it. BE WARNED this is for older readers. Just For Now is not YA. It is New Adult/Adult contemporary romance. Language, drinking and sexual situations are all in this short piece. Proceed with caution. Preston Drake is just as naughty as Cage York is soooo without further ado:
Just For Nowby Abbi Glines
Prologue
“Well if it ain’t lil’ Manda all dressed up and coming out to play.” The water I’d been sipping chose this moment to strangle me. Covering my mouth to muffle my hacking cough, I turned away from the warm breath against my ear. I had shown up here tonight for one reason: to see Preston Drake. Wasn’t it just my luck that when he finally decided to notice I’m alive, I started coughing up a freaking lung. Preston’s amused chuckle as he patted my back didn’t help my humiliation any. “Sorry Manda, I didn’t know my presence would get you all choked up.” Once I was able to speak again, I turned around to face the guy that had been making a grand appearance in my late night fantasies for a couple years now. All the primping I’d suffered through so that I looked irresistible was pointless. Preston was grinning at me like he always did. I amused him. He didn’t see me as anything more than the innocent little sister of his best friend, Marcus Hardy. It was cliché. How many bad romance novels had I read about the girl falling helplessly in love with her brother’s best friend? Countless. “You startled me,” I wanted to explain my sudden burst of coughing. Preston tipped a bottle of beer against his lips and took a drink while keeping his eyes cut toward me. “Are you sure it wasn’t my sexy-as-hell voice whispering in your ear that caused your momentary lack of oxygen?” Yes that was probably it. But the guy knew he was beautiful I wasn’t going to add to his ego. Crossing my arms over my stomach, I took a defensive pose. I never knew how to talk to Preston or what to say to him. I was so afraid he’d look me in the eyes and know that I closed my eyes at night and imagined doing very bad things to his body. “Damn, Manda,” he said in a low husky voice as his eyes lowered to my breasts. I’d worn a low cut white blouse tonight and a really good push-up bra in hopes of at least getting Preston to see that my body was all grown up. Besides, I knew he had a thing for boobs. It was obvious by the girls he dated… well he didn’t really date. He just screwed them. My boobs were not big but a good push up bra and the right position and they weren’t too bad. “That’s a real nice shirt you got on.” He was really looking at me. Or at them but they were a part of me so it was the same thing. “Thank you,” I replied in a normal voice that betrayed the fact I was breathing a little faster now. Preston took another step toward me closing in the small area that had separated us. His eyes were still directed at the cleavage I had pushing up in full view. “Maybe wearing a shirt like that ain’t real smart, Manda.” His deep voice caused me to shiver. “Aw, hell girl don’t do that. No shivering.” One large hand touched my waist. His thumb brushed against my stomach and gently pushed the hem of my shirt up. “I’ve been drinkin’ since four, sweetheart. You need to push me away and send me packing ‘cause I don’t think I can stop this on my own.” Small whimper. Oh, yes. Should I start begging now? Preston lifted his eyes to meet mine. His long pale blond hair that girls everywhere wanted to get their hands in, fell forward over one of his eyes. I couldn’t help it. I reached up and tucked the loose strands behind his ear. He closed his eyes and made a small, pleased sound in his throat. “Manda, you’re real sweet. Real fucking sweet and I’m not the kind of guy you’re supposed to let get this close.” His voice was almost a whisper now as his eyes bore into mine. I could see the slight glassy look that confirmed he’d had too much to drink. “I’m a big girl. I can decided who I let get close,” I replied shifting my hips so that he had a better view directly down my shirt if he wanted it. “Mmmm, see this is where I think you might be wrong ‘cause untouched little bodies like yours all fresh and sweet shouldn’t tempt guys who are only looking for another hot fuck.” Something about hearing Preston Drake say “fuck” out of those full pink lips of his was a major turn on. He was too pretty. He always had been. His lashes too long, his face too sculpted and you add that in with his lips and hair, you get one lethal package. “Maybe I’m not as untouched as you think,” I said hoping he didn’t detect the lie. I wanted to be one of those bad girls he didn’t mind taking in a back room up against a wall. Preston lowered his mouth to barely graze the skin on my shoulder that was revealed by the shirt I’d chosen. “You telling me that this sweetness has been played with?” No. “Yes,” I replied. “Come take a ride with me,” he asked close to my ear as his teeth pulled gently on my earlobe. “Okay.” Preston moved back and nodded his head toward the door. “Let’s go.” That probably wasn’t such a good idea. If Rock, Dewayne, or any other of my brother’s friends saw us leaving together they’d stop anything from happening. And I wanted something to happen. Alone time under the covers thinking about Preston Drake was getting old. I wanted the actual man. I wonder why Preston hadn’t thought of that. Did he want them to stop us? I glanced over at their usual table and Rock wasn’t paying us any attention. Dewayne winked at me then went back to talking to some girl. I looked back at the bartender, “I have to pay my tab first.” Preston nudged me toward the door, “I got your tab. You go get in my Jeep.” Okay. Yes. I wanted to go get in his Jeep. This would also have us leaving separately. Nodding, I hurried for the door thinking I may have just won the lottery. Glancing around the parking lot I searched for Preston’s Jeep. When I didn’t see it out front I headed for the back of the building to see if he’d parked back there. Most people didn’t because there were no lights around. Stepping into the darkness, I wondered if this was smart. A girl really shouldn’t be out here by herself at night. Maybe I should just go back to the part of the parking lot where it was well lit. “Don’t you back out on me now. I’m already going half mad thinking about this,” Preston’s hands came around my waist and pulled me tightly up against his chest. Both of his hands slid up and covered my boobs squeezing them then tugging on my top until it was low enough that he could feel the exposed skin of my cleavage. “Sweet God almighty, real ones feel so damn good,” he murmured. I couldn’t take a deep breath. Preston’s hands were touching me. I wanted him to touch all of them. Reaching up, I undid the buttons on my shirt and let it fall open. I found the front clasp of my bra and quickly unfastened it before I could back out. We were in the middle of a very dark parking lot and I was being a complete slut. “Damn baby. Get your ass in my Jeep.” Preston growled as he pushed me forward a few more steps then turned me left by directing my hips. His Jeep appeared in front of us. I was pretty sure we couldn’t do this in a Jeep. “Can we, uh, do this in here?” I asked as he turned me around to face him. Even in the dark his light hair stood out. His eyelids were lowered and those long lashes of his almost brushed his cheeks. “Do what baby? What is it you wanna do? ‘Cause showing me these pretty titties has me going a little crazy.” He pressed me back up against his jeep as he lowered his head and pulled one of my nipples into his mouth and sucked hard before flicking it with his tongue. No one had ever kissed my boobs. The immediate explosion that went off in my panties as I cried his name hadn’t been on purpose. My head was pressed back on the Jeep window and my knees had completely given out. Preston’s hands holding firmly to my waist had kept me from ending up a heap on the gravel. “Mother fucker,” Preston growled and I started to apologize when his hands cupped my butt and he picked me up. I grabbed his shoulders and wrapped my legs around his waist afraid he would drop me. “Where are we going?” I asked as he stalked deeper into the parking lot. Had I made him mad?

Yeah... that's the highlight of my week. During the Amazon conference WHILE IT LASTS was popped up on screen behind Jeff Bezos. One of those things I may just blow up and hang on my wall. 
Hot. There isn't much more to say about this new cover. Beau and Ash are perfect. You can pre-order the paperback copy now online. (It is the same story. Just properly edited with a sexy new cover)
BUY THE BOOK:
Sawyer and Lana... Perfect. This one can be pre-ordered too! BUY THE BOOK:
WHAT IS COMING NEXT?Ceaseless (Existence #3) is set to release September 18. Let's hope I make that deadline. This will be the last book in this series. You can read sneak peeks I've posted on my Facebook Author Page
Just For Now (Sea Breeze #4) is set to release November 30. This will be Preston Drake's story. You meet Preston in Breathe as Marcus Hardy's best friend. He is also in Because of Low and While It Lasts.
Options was set to release in February. Due to a series of events that date has been pushed back to December 2013. Cage and Eva became rather popular with WHILE IT LASTS so I am focusing on getting their story out. Then I intend to write Ethan from The Vincent Boys/Brothers a story as well as Krit from the Sea Breeze Series. I'm thinking I may stop and breathe sometime around 2020... joking... maybe... a little...
ANDI've written a stand alone New Adult contemporary romance because it was in my head and wouldn't go away. I don't know when I will release it, as of right now. I will release it sometime soon. It may even come as a surprise.
