Cover Reveal: One Day Soon by A. Meredith Walters

   

  

He found me in blood and tears. 

I stayed with him through darkness and fire. 

We loved each other in the moment between innocence and bitter truth. 

We were the kids easily ignored, who grew into adults we hardly knew. 

We weren’t meant to last forever. 

And we didn’t. 

He ran away. 

I tried to move on. 

Yet I never stopped thinking about the boy who had fought to keep me alive in a world that would have swallowed me whole. He was the past that I buried, but never forgot. 

Until the day I found him again, years after believing I had lost him forever. And in cold, resentful eyes, I saw the heart of the man who had been everything when I had nothing at all. So I vowed to hold onto the second chance that was stolen from the children we had been. 

Sometimes fate is ugly. Life can be twisted. 

And who we are can be ruined by who we once were. 

For two people who had survived so much, we would have to learn how to hold on before we were forced to let go.

Release Day Blitz: Butterfly Dreams by A. Meredith Walters

        

In a powerful romance hailed as “heartbreaking, real, and breathtakingly beautiful” by Stacey Lynn, New York Times bestselling author A. Meredith Walters tells the story of a troubled young woman and the unforgettable guy who teaches her to live—and love—to the fullest.  

She’s waiting to die. . . . 

Corin Thompson is paralyzed by her obsession with mortality. Having lost both of her parents, she is terrified by the idea that she too will die young, and she loses control at any sign of illness. But when Corin connects with someone who has survived a very real brush with death, she begins to see the world in a whole new way.  

He’s learning to live. . . .  

As Corin struggles under the weight of her neuroses, Beckett Kingsley is attempting to rebuild a life that feels all too temporary. With the ever-present threat of heart failure never far from his mind, he just wants to make the most of whatever time he has left. And that means pursuing the girl he never expected to find. 

Together, Corin and Beckett finally learn to let go of their fears and take solace in everyday pleasures. Who knows what the future holds? After all, nothing lasts forever—the only promise they have is right now.

My doorbell rang. 

What? 

I looked at the clock and realized it was already 7:30. 

So that meant it was Beckett on the other side of the door. 

Shit. 

I looked down at my half-naked body. 

Shit! 

And then I started freaking out. 

“I’ll be right there!” I yelled. 

Should I let him in? 

But I was practically naked! 

I couldn’t let him see me like this! 

Maybe I should own it. Shake my hips and let him get a look at the goods. 

Like that would ever happen. 

Crap, what was I going to wear? 

I grabbed a pair of jeans from my floor and wiggled them on, not really paying attention to which ones they were. 

I reached into my closet and pulled the closest shirt off the rack. I tied my hair into a ponytail and slipped on a comfortable pair of ballet flats. 

I hoped Beckett hadn’t planned on five-star dining because I was dressed more for a McDonalds milkshake before hanging with the bowling league. 

“Sorry,” I said, out of breath, opening the door and letting Beckett inside. 

“I was starting to think I needed to break in and make sure you hadn’t gotten stuck in the toilet or something.” Beckett looked damn near perfect in a dark pair of jeans and button-up blue shirt the same color as his eyes. 

He had even gotten a haircut. Way to make me feel like a total underachiever in the getting ready department, buddy. 

“Looks like you cut yourself,” I said, indicating the piece of toilet paper stuck to his chin. 

“Fuck. I forgot about that,” he muttered, pulling it off, looking embarrassed. 

“You should have left it there. It’s cute,” I teased, putting on my black wool coat. 

“You ready?” he asked. 

“As I’ll ever be.” I gave him a wide smile and he laughed. 

“I’m not taking you to your death by firing squad. You could act a bit more excited.” 

I jumped up and down, clapping my hands together. “OMG, Beck! I can’t wait!” I gasped. 

“Is that better?” I asked, closing my apartment door behind me and locking it. 

“Much.” Beckett leaned down and I swear he was checking out my ass. 

“Excuse me, but what in the hell are you doing?” I demanded. 

“Are you aware that the Cheshire cat is on your right butt cheek?” 

I craned my body to get a look at what he was talking about. And sure enough, there was a bright purple patch with the damn Cheshire cat on my derriere. 

“I must have picked up the wrong jeans,” I groaned. These were my hanging-out-doing-laundry jeans. Not meant to be seen by anyone but myself and the cat. 

“I was in a rush. I couldn’t figure out what to wear. It was stressful,” I tried to explain, pulling my coat down over my feline-covered bum. 

“The last thing I want is to stress you out, Cor-Cor.” 

I smacked his arm. “I thought I warned you about using that damn nickname,” I threatened. 

“I show up with toilet paper stuck to my face and you have a cat on your butt. I think we make a pretty awesome pair,” Beckett snickered, unlocking his car.

I am very excited to bring to you the final book in the Bad Rep Series - Desperate Chances - releasing on September 14, 2015. 

Sex changes everything.

And love can turn into an enemy…

Mitch Abrams, the bassist for the popular rock band Generation Rejects, has been in love with Gracie Cook for years. But Gracie, a complicated girl with a lot of baggage, was too blind to see how she felt about the man who had always stood by her.

Until one night of passion brought them closer than they had ever been before.

Feeling off balance and out of control, Gracie does the only thing a girl with self-destructive tendencies can do: end things with Mitch before they can really begin.

So Mitch moves on. With his band, his friends, and a new girlfriend.

Yet he can’t seem to forget about the girl who threw his heart away.

Gracie, who is still struggling to build a life after crashing to the bottom, finds it hard to forget about her one night with Mitch. And even as she tries to convince herself it was only sex, her heart knows differently.

But life is full of chances and desperate moments. And when Mitch and Gracie are thrown back into each other’s lives, will they seize at the opportunity to do things right?

Or will the rock star and the less than ordinary girl crash and burn?

Surprise Release: The Contradiction of Solitude by A. Meredith Walters

The Contradiction of Solitude
Author: A. Meredith Walters
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 6, 2015

Description: 
 
You may notice me but you will never know me.

I prefer it that way.

I am the daughter of a monster.

Born from blood and lies.

Dead before I have truly lived.

But Elian tells me that I’m different.

He tells me that I’m beautiful.

That I’m an enigma wrapped in irresistibly complicated skin.

Elian says that he loves me.

These words terrify me.

I can’t trust love.

Or hope.

Or truth.

Because I fear the beast inside.

It threatens to drown Elian and his sweet, unconditional love.

It’s a beast that will destroy everything.

 

Elian pulled at a loose string at the hem of his T-shirt. He dressed like he hadn’t done laundry in a while. His jeans were stained and his shirt faded and threadbare. His brown work boots were scuffed, the laces untied and trailing in the dirt. He reminded me of a little boy scared and running.

“I’m surprised you’re here,” he commented, shifting my focus from his shoes to his face.

“Why is that?”

“You just don’t seem like a live music kind of girl.” He laughed nervously, as though wishing he could take back his observation.

“You’re right. This isn’t normally my scene at all,” I admitted, leaning into him just slightly.

Elian snapped his fingers together. “I knew it!” As though he had just made a monumental discovery. These were tiny, inconsequential pieces that I gave away without effort. Safe. Painless.

“So why are you here?” he asked, pushing his hair off his forehead. I stared at him for a moment, taking in all the parts of him. His green eyes, the first thing that I really noticed about him. His dark hair that fell in a haphazard disarray across his forehead.

The scars, thin and shiny, crisscrossing along the length of his neck. They were brutal and violent. And when Elian was nervous he rubbed his fingers over the slightly raised skin as though trying to wipe them away. I wondered about the scars. I wondered about his false smile.

I wondered about Elian Beyer and his many, many secrets.

Release Day Launch: Chasing the Tide by A. Meredith Walters

***The powerful continuation of the story that began in Reclaiming the Sand- a tale of love and forgiveness and learning to over come a past that has come to define you.***

Bully and Victim

Friend and Lover

Past and Future

Ellie McCallum and Flynn Hendrick’s story was as painful as it was devastating.  But they were able to find within each other an unlikely yet beautiful love. Despite the obstacles that tried to keep them apart.

And together they rose out of the ashes of their tragic history.

Now years after their life changing reunion Ellie is back in Wellston, having just graduated from college and ready to start her future with the man who taught her how to love. However, returning to a town that held so much bitterness and anger was the last place she wanted to start over.

But for Flynn, who is now an art professor at the community college and firmly rooted in the place that gave them their beginning, she’d do just about anything.

Yet it’s difficult building a life when you’ve only just learned how to live.

 And love, no matter how strong, doesn’t always conquer all.

Ellie and Flynn must learn how far they are willing to go to stay together. Or whether the ghosts of the past will consume them both.

Because finding a happily ever after is harder than it seems. Particularly when you’re fighting against the one thing that could destroy you.

Yourself.

From the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Find You in the Dark and Bad Rep comes a story of forgiveness, redemption and finding love in the most unlikely of places.

*THIS IS A STANDALONE WITH NO CLIFFHANGER!*

Bully and victim.

Tormenter and tormented.

Villain and hero.

Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.

Particularly Freaky Flynn.

Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.

But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.

And moved on.

Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.

When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.

And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.

But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.

Spotlight Tour: Reclaiming the Sand by A. Meredith Walters

Welcome to my stop on the spotlight tour for Reclaiming the Sand! Today I'll be sharing some teasers and a great excerpt from the book with you.

Reclaiming the Sand

Author: A. Meredith Walters

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 17, 2014

Description:

Bully and victim.
Tormenter and tormented.
Villain and hero.

Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.

Particularly Freaky Flynn.

Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.

But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.

And moved on.

Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.

When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.

And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.

But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.   

I had been right. What we shared was so much more than sex.


It was an intimacy that came from baring your heart to someone you knew would take care of it.


And he looked at me. Really looked at me. He didn't hide his face. Our eyes connected and clung to each other just as our bodies clenched together tightly. There was no disappearing. 

There was no denying what this was.


It was love.


Pure and simple and completely complicated love.


The need to tell him burned my throat; my eyes glassing over with unshed tears as he pressed into me.


But I kept silent. Because words weren't necessary. The truth was in the way we touched. The way we moved. The way our eyes never looked anywhere but at each other.


Speaking out loud would only encumber the honesty that couldn't be communicated with words.


"Flynn..." I said on a sigh, handing him my soul on the breath of his name. he rested his lips in the hollow of my throat, his hands gripping me tightly; sweat drying on our skin as we came back to earth.


I loved him.


I did.

I had never loved anyone before but now I loved with my whole being.


It split me open.


My guts spilled out on the floor at Flynn's feet.


He owned me. Completely.


There was no coming back from this.


Flynn had reclaimed me.
