So, I did a thing, and now you can read the first 4 chapters of Always on the website. 

Only hitch? 

It's a privately viewed page, so you need a link to view the chapters. 

Find that link HERE. 

You can also add Always on your Goodreads TBR. 

Blurb: 

A Legacy Novel

A wild boy.
A sly girl.

Cross Donati defines trouble. He does what he wants because he’s never known anything different. He’s unapologetic, and he owns it.

Catherine Marcello is every bit a good girl … on the outside. Her entire world is a legacy, and she lives it. She’s curious, and she’s exploring it.

She chases bad things.
He never learned to be good.

They’re late nights, stolen cars, first times, fist fights, leather jackets, beaches, bloody smiles, and life.
They’re vicious and precious, dangerous and harmless, innocence and sin. They are love. 

Love is killing for someone.
Love is living for someone.

Sometimes, you can’t keep saving your heart when it means sacrificing it, too.
Sometimes, you have to learn to save yourself.
Sometimes, love has to fall, crash, and burn.

This is what love is like when you’re a principe and principessa della mafia.
This is what love is like when you’re Cross Donati and Catherine Marcello.

Enjoy. 

Hey, all! 

*waves* 

Earlier today, I released the blurb for Always: A Legacy Novel on Facebook, so I figured I should do that here, too. 

There also seems to be some kind of confusion about this book. This is ONE book featuring Cross and Catherine. They will also have a SECOND book titled Revere. Always specifically ends at a turning point--no, I don't consider it a cliffhanger. By the end, you should see it coming, and kind of know how these two do things, honestly. But it IS a turning point. 

Sometimes, that is what love is: turning points in life. 

And I like my love real. 

So, here's the blurb to get you ready and excited for these two: 

A Legacy Novel

A wild boy.
A sly girl.

Cross Donati defines trouble. He does what he wants because he’s never known anything different. He’s unapologetic, and he owns it.

Catherine Marcello is every bit a good girl … on the outside. Her entire world is a legacy, and she lives it. She’s curious, and she’s exploring it.

She chases bad things.
He never learned to be good.

Hey, hey, hey!

I took a bit of a break from Facebook, and most other places, except for Twitter, because Twitter is all that is good and habit forming for me, so .... Don't judge.

But I am back ,and with goodies, plus some news. 

Let's get started. 

So for the next several days, we're gonna have lots to look forward to.

Let's start it out with the fact you can add Always: A Legacy Novel on Goodreads. 

Add it to your TBR. 

You're gonna see the date for release just says "October." I don't wanna get hopes up, but damn I do hope it's sooner for you all, that's what I'm gonna say.  

But onto something funner ...

I'm sharing the playlist for Always, although it's simply marked as Cross + Catherine because really, that's just how it is. Playlists are not usually so important for my books/process. I make them, but they're never really the first thing on my mind. I don't include them in the book's front or back matter. I certainly DON'T listen to music while I write, it messes with my process.

Let's just say all that went out the window with this first book--this music was constant. Music was a BIG part of this book while I wrote it, how I wrote it, and why I wrote certain pieces the way I did inside the book.

The first song in a playlist is most important, in my opinion. It sets a tone for the novel, and an expectation. I struggled between Bad Things by Machine Gun Kelly ft Camila Cabello or Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

I settled on Hallelujah, for this verse here, that he wrote specifically for his cover of the song:

"Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah"

BUT -- DO listen to Bad Things (this one especially), and I Have Questions, because those were some of the top ones, too, really.

Playlist is down below. 
If for some reason, the video player does not work, go HERE. 
​
Something VERY fun comes this way tomorrow ...

Hugs, loves. 

Hey again, loves!

Guess what's up early on Amazon and in KU? 
Entangled (Guzzi, 2) is LIVE!

August 7th was just a placeholder date for Amazon, essentially, because as long as it came down off all the required vendors, I planned to put the book live early for there. 

So enjoy to all my Kindle/Amazon readers! I hope this one makes up for the hell Gian put you through at the end of the last one. *winks* 

He speaks three languages. 
And he loves her in every one of them ...

Entangled Blurb:
Gian Guzzi has everything a mafia boss could want, but it comes with strings. He shouldn’t be wasting time on a redhead he can’t have, when men like him are not allowed to be affected by silly things like love. A boss’s job is never done, and Gian has far better things to worry about—what with someone wanting him dead, and someone else wanting him in prison for good. Yet, he keeps risking it all for one more taste of Cara Rossi.
A man without love is no man at all.
Cara Rossi is left devastated by the things Gian Guzzi didn’t say. She also can’t forget all the things he did say. She needs to focus on moving on from him, not falling right back into his bed once more. Then again, reality has a way of ruining those plans with far more beautiful, unexpected things. Even if it means Cara is forced to question everything, from her morals to her reputation. All to be one woman to one man.
A woman without respect is a dirty word.
Duty. Legacy. Love.
Always in that order.
Or … that’s how it should be.
But life is messy, when entangled with love.
Rules don’t apply.
