Sometimes all you need is someone to hold you up.
Harper Elliott knows what it feels like to drown. To be unable to breath, to feel the crushing weight of your lungs collapsing while waves crash over your head and the surface is just out of reach. The ocean has stolen way too much from her and her family. Even though she lives just miles from the beach she rarely ever steps foot on it, and never goes in the water.
Until she meets Tag Williams, the sexy lifeguard with the funny name, kind smile, genuine eyes and smoking hot body. He makes Harper want to do more than just stick her toes in to test the waters. He makes her want to jump in with both feet.
But if she does, can she trust Tag to keep her head above water?

My
Journey as a Writer
When I
was a little girl I knew I wanted to be an author one day. I used to write
stories all of the time. However, life happened and when I got married and had
my children I kind of put that dream on hold. Around the time my daughter
turned two, I decided to try and finally write a novel. I wrote my first book,
“Confessions of a Harried Housewife.” It’s a chic lit book about a quirky
stay-at-home mom. Not surprising, since I was a stay-at-home mom at the time.
After that I wrote two more chic lit books – “Abandoning Alice” and “Diapering
Diva.” The only one that garnered attention from agents and publishers was the
first one, but ultimately it didn’t get picked up.
After
that the chic lit genre sort of dissolved and I worked the next few years on
honing my craft and finding my voice. I tried writing an inspirational romance
but abandoned it halfway through. I then wrote my suspense novel, “Engraved”
and another book called, “American Dream” that I never released. I did have
some short stories published and won some contests in that time frame. I also
signed with an agent at one point but ended up severing that relationship for a
variety of reasons.
Then I
wrote the Prowl Trilogy and felt that I had finally found my niche. I really
like writing young adult. It’s a genre I enjoy so much. At that point, I
decided to self-publish and I’ve never looked back. It’s the perfect choice for
me. I love having control over my career. I love choosing my covers, titles,
release dates. I don’t mind doing my own marketing and I’ve met so many
incredible bloggers, reviewers and fans who have helped with this. It’s an
amazing community and I’m lucky to be a part of it. So, we will see where this
journey takes me from here on out, but so far it’s been incredible.
