Waiting on Wednesday: SAVING BECK by COURTNEY COLE

June 20, 2018

 

 

Reminiscent of the beloved novels by Mary Kubica and Jodi Picoult comes a chilling portrayal of a son’s addiction and its harrowing effects on both him and his mother from New York Times bestselling author Courtney Cole. SAVING BECK releases July 17, 2018. Check out the teaser below, and pre-order your copy of SAVING BECK today!

 

 

SAVING BECK Synopsis:

There comes a time when offering your life for your child’s doesn’t work, when you realize that it’ll never be enough.

The cold needle in his warm vein was a welcome comfort to my son at first. But then it became the monster that kept us apart.

Heroin lied, and my son believed. It took him to a world where the last year didn’t happen, to a place where his father was still alive. What Beck didn’t understand was that it couldn’t bring his father back from the dead. It couldn’t take away his pain, not permanently.

You think it can’t happen to you, that your kids, your family, will never be in this situation.
I thought that too. But you’re wrong.

Step into our world, and see for yourself.
Watch my golden boy become a slave to this raging epidemic. Watch me try and save him.

Drug addiction comes with a price.
Trust me, you’re not equipped to pay it.

Don’t miss this heart wrenching, evocative, yet hopeful novel—it will leave you forever changed.

My name is Calla Price and I’m drowning.

My new world is a dark, dark ocean and I’m being pulled under by secrets.

I’m entangled in the darkness.

But the truth will set me free.

It’s just ahead of me, so close I can touch it. But even though it shines and glimmers, it has glistening fangs and I know it will shred me.

Are you scared?

I am.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ – BEFORE WE FALL by COURTNEY COLE

December 3, 2013

Courtney Cole’s amazing new Beautifully Broken Series novel, BEFORE WE FALL, is out today and we are excited to join in the release day launch for it. BEFORE WE FALL is a steamy, shocking and a Contemporary Romance you are not going to want to miss! Dominic Kinkaide is a bad boy that will keep you screaming for more. So check out what we have for you today and then enter to win in the release day launch giveaway-“A Night With Dominic Kinkaide” Basket of Goodies! There’s also a fantastic excerpt for you to check out!


EXCERPT:


Are you feeling warm yet?”
I watch his lips as he speaks
the words, husky and low.   His lips are
full, yet manly and suddenly I ache to lean over and press mine to his, to
touch them in any way that I can. 
But I don’t. 
Because I’m not a girl who gets
used.  Not anymore. 
 “No, not at all.”
But Dominic takes that as a
challenge.  He’s not used to hearing the
word no and he’s not about to start now. 
I see that in his dark eyes a scant moment before he dips his head and
consumes my mouth.
I say consume, instead of kiss,
because that’s what he does.
He consumes me.
His lips are fiery and hot and
he kisses me with a fierceness that touches a secret part of me; moist, hot,
firm, sexy.  I want to inhale him, to
suck him down.  I vaguely feel his hands
on my back, his warmth emanating through my clothes, his hardness pushing into
my softness.
I’m breathless when he pulls
away. 
“What about now?”
For the life of me, I’m afraid
to answer that.  Instead, I pull away,
just a bit, just enough that there is some space between us, but I can still
absorb his warmth.   As my teeth chatter,
both from the cold and from the suddden absence of his lips, I answer.
“I’m good.”
He laughs, a husky, low, naughty sound. 
“Oh, I’m sure of that.”
And just like that, I’m drawn
back in… in toward his sexy smile, his arrogant gaze and his knowing
smirk.  He’s bad for me.  Very bad for me.   I’ve got to remember that. 
He
will decimate you
,
I tell myself.

But my problem is, every
time I look into his dark eyes and see the mysterious things that lurk there, I
forget that.   I forget everything that
is supposed to matter.





*Amazon*     *Barnes and Noble*







ABOUT BEFORE WE FALL (Book 3 in the Beautifully Broken Series):


Sometimes, one dark moment is all it takes to turn your world black…

For 24-year old Dominic Kinkaide, that moment took place on the night of his
high school graduation. One dark incident changed him forever. He’s a hardened
actor now, famous in the eyes of the world, but tortured in his own. He doesn’t
care about much of anything, except for losing himself in the roles that he
plays.

23-year old Jacey Vincent doesn’t realize how much her father’s indifference
has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn’t one specific moment that
wrecks a person, but rather it’s an absence of moments. She’s like a bird with
a broken wing-strong yet fragile, as she tries to float through life, finding
acceptance in the arms of random guys, one after the other… to fill the void
that her father left in her.

Until she meets Dominic.

After jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, his secret and
her issues create a dark and damaged energy that will soon turn their
attraction to each other into an explosive storm.

Even though when the clouds have cleared and the dust has settled, both of them
are almost obliterated… they’ve learned a priceless lesson.

Sometimes, before we fall… we fly.
