Title: Bring Me Home
Synopsis:
Miya Jackson always believed life had more to offer outside Dead End, Texas. So when circumstances turned her life upside down, she took her chance to break free. A few years—and some brutal doses of reality—later, her little sister’s wedding brings her back to the hometown she left behind.
The last place she expects to end up is in the arms of the man she’s tried and failed to forget. One scalding, passionate night is all it takes to make her rethink her damn good reasons for leaving.
Shawn Dalton always hoped this day would come. Hell, he and Miya have a history, and any misunderstandings can be fixed if she’ll only stay in one spot long enough. Now that’s she’s back, he’s determined to make her see that she belongs in Dead End. With him.
Her obstinate nature is intact, but he can deal with that. It’s the cold, detached woman she’s become that worries him. Melting that wall—and reminding Miya of her roots—is going to take every hot, sinful moment he can wrangle.

Downing the
rest of her beer, she threw a twenty-dollar bill on the table and rushed to the
door. She didn’t look back. Didn’t want to know if that sinful gaze followed
her—or worse—laughed at her knowingly.
Cool night
air washed over her the moment she stepped on the porch. She nodded to several
men standing at the opposite end of the wooden porch and leaned against the
railing to support her shaky legs. Millions of stars glimmered down from the
clear night sky. Honeysuckle climbed up the trellis covering the outside of the
porch, filling the night air with its sweet aroma. The scent was so thick, she
could almost taste it.
She closed
her eyes and breathed deep, needing the calm reassurance of childhood nostalgia
to center her frazzled mind. Home. She really hadn’t thought she’d missed it at
all, but being back satisfied her more than anything had in years. A quiet peace
welcomed her home, so different from the city, where she’d never experienced
true acclimation. Even after Chloe had taken pity on a homegrown vagabond and
led her through the tangled streets of city life.
The sad
memories of leaving Dead End were never far from her mind, and now, with
Shawn’s appearance tonight, the decision to leave all those years ago welled up
inside her with ferocious intent.
~Meet Candi!~
Candi Wall is probably the only person whose real name is more epic than any pseudonym she could have come up with – even as an author! She writes because the voices in her head have to come out somehow. Animal rescue-ess, mother of four, and soccer mom by day, she spends her free time writing – often on napkins at kids’ games because she never knows when a juicy story will reveal its delicious self. She once wrote a sex scene at a wrestling meet. Shhhhhh!
Candi will be
awarding a $10 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter
during the tour, and a $10 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn host.
As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
ReplyDeleteHi Mai.
DeleteI wanted to be a vet.
Of course, as I got older, and realized I had allergies to cats, dogs & most furry critters, I fell in love with working with children.
But I can honestly say, writing has always been my passion. Even when I was a child.
What about you?
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting me today.
I do have an EDJ, but a super cool boss that will let me pop in through the day to answer questions.
Candi

Delete"... She once wrote a sex scene at a wrestling meet."
ReplyDeleteI could understand that. When I am trying to write something, sometimes all the noise in the background helps clarify the words for me/puts me in the zone.
Laney, I agree.
DeleteSometimes chaos is just what's needed.
