Official Cover Reveal for Love Square
Tentative Release Date: July 2013Cover Design by: Cover It! Designs
Synopsis:
A love triangle gone bad...
He was the one guy I couldn't get enough of. One look from him would make me melt. He was the one I always wanted to love me, but always seemed so far away. Now he stands before me and he's turning my world upside down.
At one time I would have done anything to be close to him. But will that anything include betraying the man I pledged myself to and that loves me faithfully?
Samantha Mo...
Love Square - Teaser #2
Here is the second teaser from Love Square! It's from Sam's POV. Hope you enjoy and feel free to Share it!
**Disclaimer: This content is unedited and subject to change**
I awake and slowly blink the sleep out of my eyes. The sun is fading, casting dark shadows in the room. I turn my head to see I’m alone in the bed. Lying on my stomach, staring non-seeing into the room, I remember how exquisitely fucked I was just a few hours ago.
The feel of his hard body over me and his cock moving in and out...

Love Square - Snippet #2
In celebration of the official cover reveal tomorrow, here's a second little snippet from Love Square. Hope you enjoy!! I know I wouldn't mind seeing an email in my inbox from Jacob!
**Disclaimer: This content is unedited and subject to change**
Three weeks have passed since the night I was kissed by Jacob and there has been no sign of him. I’m not surprised. But I am a little disappointed. Whenever I think those thoughts, I quickly chastise myself and move on.
After my morning coffee and a show...

Love Square - Teaser #1
Here is the first teaser from Love Square! It's from Sam's POV. Hope you enjoy and feel free to Share it!
**Disclaimer: This content is unedited and subject to change**
The line of people was endless. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that so many people were interested in meeting me and enjoyed reading the stories I had created. This was what I loved so much about being an author – knowing I was affecting people, even if it was just for the time they were immersed in the world I created. My goal was to make people believe they were a part of the story and could feel what my characters feel. I had read enough books myself to know what a great story could do to a person.
The girl standing in front of me was acting slightly crazy. She had bright pink hair, frizzed out in a ponytail and couldn’t contain her excitement. She jumped up and down squealing for what felt like five minutes before finally talking – no scratch that – screaming at me.
“OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M REALLY GETTING TO MEET YOU!!!”
The level of her voice had me mentally cringing but her enthusiasm was infectious. She had a friend with her who looked slightly more conservative but no less excited. They started dancing around and I just had to jump up and join them for a second. I knew people would think I was losing it but really, how often do you get the chance to make someone’s day? I rounded the table, grabbing her arms and undulated my hips in time with hers for a minute. I couldn’t stop laughing. Boy did I need this release after dealing with Aiden last night.
As I sat back down in the chair, my eyes caught on the next person in line and I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest. It was Jacob Matthews. There was no doubt about it. Time had certainly been his friend and he looked even more beautiful than he did fifteen years before. My first real love and my first real heart break.
His dark hair was a little long, giving him a bed head look that totally worked on him. He was more fit than he had been as a teenager, muscles showcased under his tight t-shirt. His green eyes sparkled just as I remembered. He was six foot three inches of yumminess and still had gorgeous man hands.
I could do this right? Sure. Yes. Totally. I wasn’t going to freak out in front of all these people and lose it just because Jacob FREAKING Matthews was waiting to see me. Nope. Not me!
As he walked up to the table, all eyes were on him. He had such grace in the way he moved. He was a man who was comfortable in his own skin and owned whatever room he was in. His smile widened and I suddenly felt like a shy sixteen year old seeing him for the first time. There was a definite thrill running through my body at the thought of seeing him again. I couldn’t help but give him a small smile of my own.
“I can’t believe it’s really sweet Sam Monroe. When my sister Monica told me about your book and that you’d be here today, I have to admit I was skeptical that it was really you.” His cheeks flushed a little and it appeared as though he was nervous.
“Well it’s actually Sam Parker now. How have you been? It’s had to be at least fifteen years right?”
“Oh wow! Parker huh. Guess you’re married now. Of course you’re married now. You’re even more beautiful than you were back then. Listen, I don’t want to hold up the line too much, but are you going to be around for a while? I’d love to grab a drink and catch up.”
He handed me the book he was holding and told me to make it out to Monica. I had never actually met his sister but I knew they were close. She was away in college when we dated but he spoke of her constantly.
Here was the moment of truth. Do I go for drinks with him and satisfy my curiosity about what he’s been up to or do I politely decline? Ugh I hate decisions sometimes. Well I guess no harm could come of meeting with him. It was just a drink in a public place. He didn’t have the power to hurt me anymore. I looked up and into those green eyes and the decision was made – I was going to go and to hell with the consequences.
“I’ll be finished around 7:00 if you want to get together then. I’m staying in the hotel across the street tonight and they have a great pub there.”
“Sounds great! I’ll see you then!”
As he walked away I couldn’t help but stare at his nice, tight ass. Boy does he fill out those jeans nicely! Some things hadn’t changed, that was for sure.
The rest of the book signing flew by. I tried to be attentive to my fans but it was so hard when I kept getting sucked into the vortex of my mind. Different scenarios played out in my head of how our conversation would go. As I was grabbing my coat and purse out of the back room of the store, my phone signaled I had a text message. It was Aiden asking me how it went. I was surprised he actually cared enough to ask. These days I didn’t think he heard what I was saying but rather thought of me as an adult in Charlie Brown – with the only sounds coming out of my mouth being “mwa mwa mwa mwa”.
I quickly text Aiden back that the book signing was spectacular. Dropping my cell phone in my purse, I rush back to my hotel room to change. What does one wear to meet up with an ex boyfriend? Hmmm… that was a good question. I didn’t bring too much extra clothing due to my short stay here in Delaware. Typically I would have just driven back for the night, but the publishers were footing the bill and I desperately needed space from my husband.
Grabbing a pair of skinny jeans, a light pink cami and a white crocheted off the shoulder sweater, I head to the bathroom. I pin my hair up so it won’t get wet and jump under the hot spray of the shower. My mind keeps going back to the impending meeting and why the hell I’m even doing it in the first place. I have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. The angel keeps warning me nothing good could come out of spending time with Jacob while the devil keeps telling me it will be fun to catch up with an old friend and to just go with the flow. I’m sure I’m just over thinking the whole thing. It’s just drinks with an old friend.
Rockin’ outfit? Check. Subtle make up? Check. Hair down and styled to perfection? Check.
As I head to the elevator, the angel chides me one last time with a “famous last words.”

Title and Synopsis Reveal
I'm so excited to announce that we officially have a title!!!
Love Square (A love triangle gone bad)
And here's the synopsis:
He was the one guy I couldn't get enough of. One look from him would make me melt. He was the one I always wanted to love me, but always seemed so far away. Now he stands before me and he's turning my world upside down.
At one time I would have done anything to be close to him. But will that anything including betraying the man I pledged myself to and that loves me faithfully?
Samantha Monroe had it all. Or at least everyone thought she did. A career on the rise, a gorgeous husband, great friends and a beautiful home. So why does she feel so alone and empty? When she reconnects with an old flame, lines are tested and compromises made in a quest for happiness.
Jacob Matthews always wondered what happened to Sam Monroe. When fate brings them together after all these years, he can't help but wonder if its meant to be. But when he meets his perfect woman, there is no doubt in his mind she's his soul mate.
Will the search for happiness cost them everything or will their love square show them what really matters?
