Cover Reveal + Giveaway: Harmful Rush by Debra Doxer

 Harmful Rush (Remedy #3)
Author: Debra Doxer
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Publication Date: April 2017

Description:

Skylark Samuels has a secret. She’s not a normal teenager, although she plays one in real life. Pretending to be something you’re not isn’t easy, especially in high school where gossip is gold. For years, Sky manages to hide her uniqueness, until one fateful day when she exposes her gift, her curse, and all her fears come to pass. Now instead of going to college near home like she planned, she has to leave town and go someplace where the rumors can’t follow. The plan when she gets there: keep to herself and stay under the radar.

But blending into the background is impossible when local heartthrob Dylan Parks notices her. Even though Sky keeps her distance and doesn’t act like one of Dylan’s adoring fans, he goes out of his way to talk to her. Her. The girl who wants to be invisible.

Sky isn’t immune to Dylan’s charm, but getting close to him is a bad idea. It goes against the promise she made to herself. Besides, if Dylan knew the truth, he wouldn’t want her. If he discovered her secret, he’d treat her differently and possibly fear her. It’s happened before. But the more Sky gets to know Dylan, the harder it is to resist him, until fate intervenes.

A tragic event forces Sky to reveal herself to the one person she’s come to care for, and his reaction is unexpected. For the first time, she doesn’t feel so alone. But what she doesn’t realize is that she’s never been alone. When she finally lets her guard down, someone comes along who threatens to unravel everything, because being normal was never Sky’s destiny.

Harmful Rush is a standalone, full-length novel set in the Remedy world. You do not have to read the first two books to read this book. (Keep You from Harm, Remedy #1, To Have and to Harm, Remedy #2)

Book Blitz + Giveaway: Sweet Liar by Debra Doxer

Sweet Liar (Candy #2)

Author: Debra Doxer 

Release Date: October 20, 2015

Summary from Goodreads:

Sometimes lies are sweeter than the truth.

Beauty is alluring; it can disguise the ugliness beneath. But scarred beauty is even more potent to a girl who vowed never to let her heart be broken again. It was an easy vow for Candy to keep until she met Jonah, an arrogant boy with a face that would be too perfect if not for the scar that marred the skin beside his eye.

That imperfect boy earned her trust and won her heart, but the ties that bind people together are fragile, especially when lies are told. Trust is also fragile, and once broken, doesn’t heal like a heart. Trust has to be earned again, and Jonah desperately wants Candy’s trust back.

But Candy has more than Jonah to worry about. Her father is in trouble, and she intends to help him whether he likes it or not. People tell her he’s a bad man, and that may be true, but he’s not all bad. Deep down, she understands his brand of badness because she’s so much like him.

When Candy finally learns the truth, she’ll have to grow up fast, let go of old grievances, and realize that being vulnerable doesn’t make her weak. In fact, opening herself up may be the very thing that makes her whole again.

I pulled on the bathroom door and walked out into the small hallway, straight into Jonah.

 

“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice laced with concern.
 

I closed my eyes, searching for calm. “I’m fine.”
 

“What happened back there?”
 

Sighing, I took a step away to get some distance from him. “My fingers got squeezed in the ball return machine. It was stupid.”
 

“Let me see.” He held his hand out, waiting for me to place mine in it. I hesitated a moment
before laying my fingers over his palm.
 

“How did it happen?”
 

“I got distracted.” When I tried to lower my hand, Jonah wrapped his long fingers around
my wrist and held on.
 

“By what?”
 

I couldn’t help glaring. Was he serious?
 

He just looked at me, waiting, like we hadn’t all seen Parker practically give him a lap dance
out there.
 

“What was that?” I blurted.
 

“What was what?”
 

“Are you kidding me? Parker was trying to feed her boobs to you for lunch, and you didn’t seem to hate it.”
 

His brow creased. “Is that what distracted you?”
 

I rolled my eyes. “Yes, it was a little distracting. What are you doing? I thought you couldn’t
stand her.”
 

Jonah smiled. “Are you jealous, Candy?”
 

I had just opened my mouth to deny it when his satisfied smile caused a light bulb to go off
in my head. “Were you using her to make me jealous?”
 

His smug expression faded. “Maybe I was trying to get your attention. But I didn’t mean for
you to hurt your hand.”
 

“All that,” I said, waving my arm in the direction of the alleys, “was to get my attention?”
 

“Just because you stopped caring about me doesn’t mean I stopped caring about you. I know
it was juvenile, but I’m losing you and I don’t know what to do about it.”
 

My pulse quickened at his words, even though they made my heart feel heavy. When Jonah
said he cared about me the first time, it made my breath catch. Hearing him say it now, my
reaction wasn’t any different. It gave me butterflies and made my insides turn molten.
 

“I didn’t stop caring about you. I stopped trusting you.” I licked my lips that suddenly felt
dry. “We should get back.”
 

The harsh set of his jaw told me he didn’t like what I’d said. His eyes stayed on mine as he
moved closer, crowding me, making me step back until the wall stopped me.
 

“If you still care, we can get that trust back.”
 

Emotion was driving him. I could sense it simmering beneath his skin.
 

“I do care. But I can’t forget.”
 

“Maybe I can make you forget.”
 

He surprised me by pressing his body into mine, and I could feel his warm breath on my face. Threading his fingers into my hair, he cradled the side of my head in his palm. It felt so good that I leaned into his touch, and my eyes fluttered closed.
 

“Look at me, Candy,” he whispered.
 

When my gaze collided with his, I saw a storm brewing there. The next moment his lips
were on mine.
 

I sucked in a harsh breath, instinctively pressing my hands against his chest. I didn’t let
myself kiss him back, even though I wanted to. It wasn’t until his hands gently cupped my
cheeks, urging me to move with him, that I finally gave in, unable to help myself.
 

Jonah groaned, pressing even harder into me. His lips were soft but insistent, and when his tongue slipped into my mouth, I brushed mine against it. The kiss deepened, and my head spun. I’d nearly forgotten how strongly I responded to Jonah, wanting to get closer no matter how close we were, like our bodies needed each other.
 

It would have been so easy to get lost in his kiss and let everything else disappear, but my thoughts wouldn’t let me. Despite how perfect this felt, it wasn’t perfect. All it would do was
hurt me more, because despite what we felt for each other, one kiss changed nothing.
 

“Candy, please,” he murmured when I went still.
 

“I can’t,” I said breathlessly.
 

“Tell me why.”
 

“You know why.”
 

Jonah exhaled heavily and lowered his forehead to mine. We stood there, each of us
breathless, the passion of our kiss lingering between us. He shook his head from side to side
before he pushed off the wall and away from me.
 

Immediately I felt cold, not just by the loss of his heat, but also by the chilly look in his eyes. “I don’t like regrets,” he said. “I never wanted you to be one."

Author: Debra Doxer 

Release Day: June 10, 2014

Cover Design: Okay Creations 

Description:

She kept everyone from harm, except herself…

Raielle’s life was shrouded in secrets. Her power was a secret and so was her past. When she came to Fort Upton, everything changed. She discovered her family, and she found the boy who would own her heart forever. But it couldn’t last. Knowing so little about her power nearly destroyed her. She had to leave and break both their hearts.

Now she’s back in California, and she doesn’t have to hide who she is anymore. But there is no relief in that because she’s drowning in regret. She knew it would take a miracle or a sin to save her, and there was no miracle. Her survival came at too high a price. She found her father, but she can’t go back to Lucas until she finds redemption.

She saved him. Then she left him…

She came out of nowhere and changed him forever, then she disappeared and left him reeling. Her whole life, she never had anyone who really loved her. Until him. Did she think he wouldn’t come for her? Did she believe she wasn’t worth it?

Lucas leaves everything behind to follow Raielle. When he finds her, she’s a pale shadow of the girl he remembers. Her power is betraying her and so are the people around her, but one thing hasn’t changed. She selflessly wants to save the world, and he just wants to save her.

With more secrets to uncover and dark truths to face, Raielle and Lucas must make sacrifices to be together again. But in the end, will those sacrifices bring them closer together or tear them apart? When he’s forced to make the ultimate sacrifice, will she turn her back on everything she believes in to save him again?

~ This book is intended for mature readers due to sexual situations and strong language. ~ 


About Book #1:

Secrets… 

They weigh you down. I’ve kept a secret all my life. It’s my mother’s secret, too. I inherited it from her along with a unique ability that only we possess. She’s gone now, another victim of addiction. If her death isn’t enough to bring me to my knees, her betrayal flays me to the bone. Because the secret my mother and I have been keeping is just one of many she’d kept. She never told me I have an older brother. And now he’s here, eager to be my guardian.

There is no one else. So I move across the country to live with this stranger, my brother. But experience has taught me that most situations are temporary and forming attachments only leads to hurt in the end. That’s why I’m determined to keep to myself in this new place, struggling to seem aloof while I’m quietly breaking apart.

Then I meet Lucas…

His magnetism is hard to resist, and most girls at school aren’t resisting. I don’t fall so easily though, especially not for guys who use their good looks as a weapon. From the start, our interactions are tense and volatile. I know it’s because I’m denying the unwelcome desire that grips me when he’s near. I think he feels it, too. He looks at me with an intensity that threatens to unhinge my resolve. Soon he’s trying to break through the walls that past hurts have built.

But I’m not what I appear to be, and it wouldn’t be fair to get involved with him. At least that’s what I tell myself. Until a terrible act of violence reveals that Lucas has a secret, too. It’s a secret that links us together and ties us to an evil history I could never have imagined.
