The Friday 56…From Blind Destiny
... the next Grimm book...(it's still being written, so I have absolutely no info on release dates or anything)
"Oh? On what?"
"What on wh...oh. The documentary. We're doing a documentary on the Christou house."
The woman wrinkled her nose. "That old place? Why bother? It needs to be torn down. It's a ruin."
"It's history. It's priceless." Some of her fear bled away, replaced by anger as she sat up.

One final galley of IF YOU KNOW HER…
Want it?
Just post a comment.
FYI, if you haven't read the first two books, this isn't a good book to read on it's own. I'm stating that up front. Read about it here...
Open internationally, no review is necessary, but it would be very much appreciated. Honest review only, please, and goodreads/amazon/bn is fine...
And although it's not necessary, I'd also love reviews/ratings of the other two books on Amazon/BN if you've read them. Again, not necessary, but it would be appreciated. JUST honest ratings/reviews, though. I don't want gushing glowing if that's not what you truly thought.
For the rest of my disclaimer/giveaway stuff, please read the disclaimer. Winner's name will be posted here to the blog and you have to check back to see if you've won. Will be posted in the next week.

Available now…
So it's here. Hope and Remy's story. I like this book. I don't say that about many of my books, so either people like it a lot, or it's going to tank.
(Please, God, I worked really, really hard on this trilogy...I'd like to see it not tank. Love, me)
I'm out and about in blog land a lot, guest blogs and such, so make sure you keep up with the schedule in the sidebar...sometimes there are giveaways.
And one more scene from IF YOU SEE HER...
"You've got this way of looking at me that makes my heart about stop."
"Is that good thing or bad thing?"
"I'm still trying to figure out it out." She popped a bite into her mouth.
Remy gritted his teeth and had to spend the next thirty seconds with gritted teeth as he waited for her to chew that bite and swallow. "What do you mean, you're still trying to figure it out?"
She shrugged and reached for her tea. "Just that. I'm still trying to figure it out. But I think it was an altogether bad thing, I wouldn't have come in here and I wouldn't be sitting here, either." She took a drink from her tea and then, still staring into the glass, she said, "You make me nervous. I'm used to being nervous, but not like this."
Nervous…hell. He could understand that. He opened his mouth, then closed it, entirely too uncertain with what he wanted to say, what he needed to say, what he thought she might want to hear and what might scare her to death.
He reached for his sandwich, although he was no longer at all hungry. "Would it make you feel any better if I told you that you make me pretty nervous, too?"
Hope snorted. "I don't want lines, Remy."
"That's good, because I don't waste my breath on them." He took a bite of his sandwich and washed it down before it turned to sawdust in his throat. "I tend avoid complications and you've got complication written all over you."
"Gee, thanks."
He grinned. "And here I sit, trying to figure out the best way to convince you to go to the drive-in with me this weekend."
"The drive-in?" A wide smile lit her face—one that damned near transformed it. She went from being pretty to…breath-taking. She literally stole his breath, sucked it right of him.
He felt like he'd been sucker-punched as she leaned forward, smiling at him. Her eyes, when they didn't have all those sad, somber shadows, almost danced, he thought.

In one word…
This is how I picture Hope...

And if I had to sum her up in one word, I'd use this one word...

Excerpt...
Opening his eyes, he studied her heart-shaped face. Without all that hair, she didn't look so fragile, he realized. Not that she really was, he was coming to realize. A fragile woman would have broken after what had been done to her. No matter what people thought, Hope hadn't broken. She had been forced to bend, to take unimaginable shit and heartbreak.
But she hadn't broken.
She had to be one of the strongest women he'd ever met.
Still, just looking at her flooded him with the most insane urges—the need to protect her. The need to touch her. The need to fuck her. The need to see her laugh. To smile…at him.

Curious...if you had to sum up a character in one word, who would it be, and what is the word?

Something odd….Saturday Snippets
Something odd is the theme...how is this for a meet cute?
"So. You're Law Reilly."
Somewhere in the back of his head, a siren started to wail.
He really, really needed to listen to it.
But he was still so caught up in staring at her…it was until she had that gun pointed at his head that he fully realized there was a problem.

Friday 56…If You See Her
Not much time left until this is out...
"I can't give any good reason why I picked this up,"
Ezra said, his voice distracted. "I was staring at the
house, watching it go up in flames, thinking about how proud Grandma always was of that house, how much she loved it. I was so fucking pissed. Still am. I looked down, and there it was."
