Finding Her Way Back
Release Date: 10/07/14
Swoon Romance
Summary from Goodreads:
Meet Callie. She’s nineteen, quirky, and fears commitments. She also has a love/hate relationship with her tennis shoes.
Nine months of college, done and gone, and all Callie has to show for it is her freshman thirty. But alas, no worries, life has other crap plans for her now. Plans that include a set of nuptials from hell for her older, she–devil sister Anna. Struggling to rid her chubby–sexy vibe, Callie is put on a strict Anna regimen of ‘do this do that’ while attempting to avoid the unavoidable. The unavoidable being Ky Hampton: her once skinny–skater–boy turned sex–god, ex best friend from across the street.
Kylan feels as though he is a waste. A mechanic, country music singer with not a lyrics to his name. A boy with a proverbial skateboard still strung around his neck from high school. He’s lost, and he’d be the first to admit it. But the moment he spots Calla Lily––with a cemented penis in hand––the more he realizes that she’s exactly the muse he’s been missing.
But when the going gets tough, and the secrets of her past grow thicker, Callie has to figure out if her tennis shoes will be her escape this time around in life, or her demise instead.

{Excerpt}
“Okay. It’s settled. One date.” Lifting
his palm, he pressed it against my cheek, holding it there. My skin tingled on
contact, burning me in all sorts of ways. “But I think we need to try something
out beforehand just to make sure that we know what we’re getting ourselves
into.”
“Um, what?” I stiffened, panicking at
the possibilities of what he was saying. Sweat formed along the back of my
neck, but I couldn’t move to wipe it away.
Fuck. This wasn’t good.
Without warning, he pressed his mouth
against mine, taking my heart, body, entire soul by complete surprise. Ky
captured me in all the ways a woman wanted to be captured by a man.
And oh, what a damn delicious capture it
was.
I’d always wondered what it’d be like to
kiss this boy. And it wasn’t because I saw him in that sort of light growing up
either, just simple curiosity, to say the least But whatever preconceived
notions I had about awkwardness and painful teeth clashing went out the window
the moment his tongue pressed against my lips.
Holy hell. Now this was a kiss.
His fingers, strong and sure, tangled in
my hair, releasing my ponytail with the flick of his thumb. Damn, he was good.
My hair fell over my shoulders, shadowing my cheeks, as well as his. I scooted
forward, pressing my hands onto the bareness of his neck, tracing the lines of
his muscled skin on his shoulders like I’d wanted to do since I first got him
in the room with me. I moaned, embarrassingly loud because yeah, this was
beyond any kiss I’d ever experienced in the past. Slow, agonizing, and perfect.
Ky made the act of kissing as sensual as having sex in a steamy shower. Not
that I’d ever actually experienced hot, steamy shower sex or anything. But um,
yeah, it was definitely on my bucket list.
