False Memory
Meli Raine
(False Memory, #1)
Publication date: November 15th 2018
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
It all started with the bereavement flowers with my name on them.
Not the best way to wake up, right? I work in a flower shop. I know a funeral arrangement when I see one.
I know a killer when I see one, too. And one is standing in my hospital room right now, straight behind the man who saved my life.
I can’t tell anyone the truth, because that’s the fastest way to really die. So I do the next best thing. I “lose” my memory.
I fake my amnesia.
Pretending not to remember a brutal attempted murder has its perks. The killer is backing down, spending less time around me, loosening the noose.
The less I claim to recall, the more my rescuer, Duff, works to help me “remember.” I hate lying to him.
But he doesn’t understand that my memory is dangerous. To me. And to him.
Fooling everyone isn’t easy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Except it’s starting to look like I’ve been fooling myself.
In more ways than one.
Read Book 1 in the newest series from USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine.

EXCERPT:
Sensation turns to pain when you have no control. A full-body flush of horror rip-ples across my skin. Mom frowns as she senses it, her eyes tracking my arms, my legs, my face.
“There,” the nurse says, looking up at the red numbers on the IV machine. She fid-dles with a clear tube. “That’ll help her.”
The doctor seems satisfied, a small huff of breath his only reply.
“Lily? Lily, what’s wrong?” Mom asks as my arms, my legs, every inch of skin turns to hot air, floating away as I disintegrate. The pain is my only tether.
My killer turns so fast, facing me, that I can’t look away in time.
Our eyes meet.
I close mine.
I open them. I can’t help myself.
It’s worse than I thought. My killer smiles at Duff, who looks back at him, not smil-ing, but clearly engaged. Familiar.
Duff is in on it. Duff was trying to kill me, too. He didn’t pull the trigger, but he’s in on it.
He has to be.
For the first time since I’ve woken up, I wish I were dead.
Because I’m about to be, if they get me alone.

I live in New York City with my husband and two children and hopefully soon a cat of my own. My day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. I practice law but daydream of a time when I can sit by a beach somewhere and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there is bound to be a few bumps along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.

Everyone deserves one last goodbye.

2.How long does it take you to write a book, typically? I usually write a book every two months.
3.Since a lot of romance books show both male and female perspectives, share with us the most difficult thing about writing the perspective of the opposite gender? I tend to write men to be more sensitive, and I think that displays my emotions more than a man’s. Though I do live with 6 men, and they are more on the sweet side, probably because I chose one and raised 5 of them, so it was something I probably added to their upbringing.
4.What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? I am often asked how I raised 5 kids and ran multiple businesses while writing 40 books, I suppose my quirk is that I can tune out ANYTHING and write. So there are not many times I can’t write, or any places that hinder me. (I also make a lot of faces, but I think all authors do that when they write.)
5.Tell us a bit about a future project you are working on? Do you have any little sneak peeks you can share? I will publish my 40th book in February, and the last book of my Walker Family Series will come out in the spring with the yet to be titled story of Lydia and Phillip. For those familiar with them, here’s a little peek. (Below question 6)
6.What is the most romantic date you have ever been on? Or, what is your idea of the perfect Valentine Date? One snowy night in college, I chose not to go home where I was supposed to meet up with my ex-boyfriend from high school. Instead, I opted to stay at school and spend time with a new friend I had made. We collectively pooled our money, which was none, and bought a hamburger at the local Carl’s Jr. near the school. It was snowing, and we sat and watched it snow as we sat next to each other in the booth sharing that burger. I know now that my decision not to go home that weekend was fate, because that was the night I fell in love with my husband and we’ve been sharing hamburgers and watching snow fall now for thirty years.
Lydia and Phillip: Walker Family Series Sneak Peek
The therapy she’d gone through had taught her how to approach their past, and to accept that he was a daily part of her life.
She supposed if she wanted to spend time with him, and truly see if her therapy had worked, she would need to lead the conversation.
Opening her car door, Lydia stepped out and stood in front of her car. “Hey, Smythe,” she yelled to be heard over the construction noise.
He turned to look at her, and then walked toward her.
“You’re not on duty, huh?”
Phillip shook his head. “No. I took a few personal days. I have something going on this evening.”
“Well then you have some time.”
“Time for what?”
“Why don’t you have lunch with me? I’d love some company, and I want to try that new Greek place on the edge of town.”
Phillip thoughtfully bit down on his lip. “I could go for that. I can just meet you over there.”
She’d have offered to drive, but maybe meeting him would be best. What if she found being in his presence for more than a few minutes at a time made her hate him again. What if seeing her broken had pushed him away for good?
“I’ll meet you there,” she agreed and watched as he walked to his truck.
She knew he’d never drive away until she had, so she pulled out of the parking lot and started driving toward the restaurant. Phillip followed her in his truck, and when she’d look back in her mirror her stomach tightened.
It had been a long year of healing. She couldn’t go back on her fifteen years of anger and just expect that he’d accept she wanted to be friends. There were also secrets she still kept and things would certainly change between them if he found out about them.
Lydia gripped her steering wheel tighter. This was lunch. Lunch with a man she’d pushed away for years. She had learned she had to take things one moment at a time. This was just one moment in the rest of her life.
Lunch.
She could handle lunch.
The Thing About Us by Jennifer Domenico
games until it wasn’t. Lies, deceit, and jealousy threaten to tear the three of
us apart. We can have it all, but that’s not as easy as it sounds.
Ben: I never thought I’d show my best friend this side of me, but I had to
take my one shot or regret it forever.
Luc: It was only supposed to be one night of something I didn’t understand and
never wanted, but it became so much more.
Georgie: They want me to choose, but I want them both. They just have to
admit they want it too.
The thing about us? We can make it work...even if we have to fight to keep it together.
When he returns, he crouches down in front of me right between my legs.
“Georgie’s going out of town for three days for work. I think you and I need to
spend time together and talk through some things. I want us to feel comfortable
and confident with each other whether she’s with us or not. It’s important to
me, Ben. You’re important to me.”

She loves alpha males with a soft spot, flawed characters, and strong, sassy
women. Her characters usually have a side of kink and aren't afraid to demand
what they want. The author doesn't apologize for that. She's a sucker for a
happy ending as long as it comes with a lot of heat.
She lives in Phoenix, Arizona but is a Bostonian at heart. The way to her heart
can be reached with a foreign accent, a shot of Fireball, and an unlimited
supply of cupcakes.
She is also known under her alter ego, Jaelyn LaStoria, author of time travel
romances, because why not.
