Hello, everyone! We are just one month away from the release of TIED WITH ME on March 18th! I can't wait for you all to read Matt and Nic's story! Here is a little excerpt to get you excited:

“Hey, Nic, can you come here, please?” Leo asks. My eyes narrow as he crooks his finger at Nic, and she grins and walks over to join the rocker and Meg.“What’s up?”“Can you play this?” Meg asks, holding the paper out to her.“Uh, this is a bunch of squiggles.” Nic laughs.“Welcome to my world,” Sam calls out and grins.“Here, I’ll show you how it’s supposed to sound. We need to hear it with the guitar.” Leo sits at the piano and gestures for Nic to join him and begins to play.“Why don’t you just play it?” Nic asks nervously. “Because I need to write.” He grins and shows her how the melody should sound, then sits and listens as Nic picks it up, playing beautifully.She never stops surprising me.“She’s good,” Will murmurs.“I had no idea,” I reply softly.“So talk while she’s preoccupied.”I glance at my brother, who’s watching me closely, and then turn my gaze back to the powerhouse of a woman on that piano bench.“What?” I ask.“I’ve never, never, seen you with a woman,” Will replies softly.“That’s an exaggeration, drama queen.”“High school doesn’t count.”I shrug. I knew this was coming, and it’ll come again Saturday when I take her with me to Nat’s party.“I like her.”“Jesus, you’re stubborn,” Will growls and shoves his hand through his hair. Nic continues to play the piano, surprising Leo when she changes some notes, telling him that it sounds better like this. Leo scowls, listens, and then grins. “You’re right.” Meg nods. “It’s smoother.”“She’s amazing,” I whisper to Will. “She’s smart and kind. Sexy as fuck.”“She is pretty hot,” Will agrees with a nod and then laughs when I glare at him. “Dude, I’m perfectly happy with my own hot woman.” His face sobers. “But does she know…”
“She knows,” I confirm. “And we’re good.”
