Read the Prologue of "Kept from You"
Kept from You

PROLOGUE
Toronto
A FIST SLAMMED into the metal locker beside my head and my math book cradled in my arms slipped and fell to the floor with a loud clunk.
I sucked in a mouthful of air and froze.
The fist belonged to Killian Kane.
The Killian Kane.
Rumor was he’d been suspended from school numerous times for fighting, and the only reason he hadn’t been expelled was his father donated a lot of money to the school.
And yeah, I was scared of him. You’d be stupid not to be.
Thankfully his fist indenting the locker wasn’t to get my attention; it was to get Josh Clery’s at-tention—the guy who unfortunately had the locker beside me.
“Ki… te,” Josh stuttered as he turned around, his face pale, hands at half-mast.
Killian’s nickname was Kite. And at first thought, the word conjured a beautiful kite flying through the air in a gentle wind.
This was not the origin of his nickname. Far from it.
Because the word Kite also meant “to prey on others.” And Killian lived up to that nickname. Although in his defense, he did it sort of fairly.
He fought the older kids who bullied the younger ones. He banned wedgies after some kid was found in the changing room hanging on the wall hook by his underwear.
If Killian heard about shit like that, he dealt with it.
Often that meant dealing with kids older and bigger than him.
He was fearless, and there was a part of me that was awestruck by him because nothing de-terred him from his purpose.
Unwavering.
Unbending.
My perception of a Greek god was pretty much Killian. One of the god’s who had a temper and knew how much power he wielded and used it.
He was good looking, but that wasn’t what made him attractive. It was how he drew you into him like a string on a marionette with his steady green eyes.
I’d never spoken to him, and he’d never said a word to me, which was a good thing since no one wanted Killian Kane’s attention.
Although, on a few occasions when I saw him in the hallways, I swore he watched me. And when our eyes would lock briefly, he always looked away while I’d lower my head and walk away as fast as I could with my heart racing and legs quivering.
He did that to me, made me breathless, which wasn’t a good thing.

Kept from You: The Missing Belly Whoosh
As some of you know, I've been in my writing cave this last week with Killian and Savvy (Kept from You) and I’ve neglected family, friends, social media, emails and poor Gimli.
I thought it important I step back a minute and let everyone know what’s happening because I will be here a while longer.
Last week "Kept from You" was almost done. I had reached 86,000 words.
At this point in my writing, I usually have my content editor start reading/editing. And I go back and read what I've written before I work on the ending and epilogue.
Then my editor and I discuss issues and possible changes.
It's my process as I don't map out books, I feel them and write what comes to me, so I expect changes. There are always changes. I let the characters tell me where the story goes, this way when I sit down to write, it’s fresh. I’m excited to see what happens too.
But Killian and Savvy's story (Kept from You) has been a struggle from the beginning. I wrote five beginnings of twenty to thirty thousand words each. All of them i tossed.
They weren't right. The passion wasn't there. Something was missing.
But like most jobs, I have deadlines to meet.
I finally decided on a beginning and stuck with it. I fell in love with Killian and Savvy, but the story was still difficult to write. I struggled with scenes and direction. The characters weren’t telling me the story.
I pushed on and months later, 86,000 words written, I handed it to my content editor.
She saw what I didn’t. She knew what was wrong.
I hadn’t been able to see it, but I FELT it while writing. When you spend so much time in a book, you can’t always see clearly. You’re too close to it.
The story was missing the belly whoosh. The deep inner need to get to the next scene because you have to know more.
After much discussion with my editor, heart ache and fear... I scrapped the book and started over. Some scenes get to stay (because their sex is hot), but a lot is gone.
I cried. Broke down and cursed.
With my deadline looming, I considered for about one second to finish the book as is. It’s good. Killian and Savvy I love and the issues can be fixed.
But I couldn't. It’s not me. It’s not why I write.
Every book I've released, my heart and soul are on the pages. I realize not everyone will like them and that's okay. But i have to love them.
I have to love the characters, the story, the words.
I need to feel that belly whoosh with every scene. Live the tears, punches, heartbreak. Because if I don't, how can I expect a reader to.
I love writing more than anything. It lives and breathes inside me and I cherish that feeling.
I wake up every morning thankful I get to do this.
I’m honored that people read my books. I’m amazed and humbled by the kind messages, comments, and all the support I receive every day.
Starting over hasn’t been easy. But it’s worth it.
Kept from You has new life. I'm only 33,000 words in, but the words are flowing freely and when that happens I know it's right.
Those 86,000 words aren’t wasted because I learned so much more about my characters.
I hope to make my deadlines, but I will be locked in my cave from sunup to sundown. Which is okay, because I love being here.
Thank you to my friend and brilliant editor Kristin who has offered me endless support and direction. She has been with me since the beginning and is truly amazing.
I will get to messages soon and I apologize for the delay in my response to many. Thank you to everyone for all your support and love.
Hugs,
Nash xoxo

$.99 cent SALE
SHATTERED by YOU on SALE (reg.3.99)
*7 days only
Can be read as a Stand Alone
What started out as a deal quickly became a friendship that conquered monsters.
I killed, but I escaped hell.
Emotionless. Disconnected. Cold. A mannequin. It’s what I’d become in order to survive the years held in captivity. I was able to endure the abuse and devastating loss as long as I remained detached.
But he wouldn't let me.
Crisis, the bass guitarist in my brother’s rock band, Tear Asunder. He’s cocky, rude, a total man-whore. But the rock star has far more beneath the surface of his inked skin, and he’s determined to make me laugh again.
He made me a "deal", but really, it was blackmail.
His terms were simple. Until his playful honesty became the building blocks to something unexpected. Something strong enough to pull me from the eye of the storm.
Because even though I escaped years of abuse, it didn’t mean I was free.

Perfect Ruin
Kai and London (aka Raven) were first introduced in "Torn from You" two years ago and I’ve been dying to write their story ever since. Kai was such a dark mysterious character, but through writing "Perfect Ruin" I grew to understand him and love him more than any other character I've written. This couple will forever have a piece of my heart.
