Today I got the Cover Reveal for The Grace in Darkness by Melissa Andrea. I loved book 1 and I can't wait for this book to come out. But before I show you the cover let's get to know Melissa:
I find it hard to sum
up my life in a paragraph, but I'll try.
Reading has always
been a passion for me and writing is as instinctive as breathing. Every inhale
is an idea; every exhale a creation. Flutter, The Discover Series was my debut
release and since then I have written a contemporary romance, The Edge of
Darkness. The only thing I do better than writing? Making beautiful, sassy and
independent, girls. My daughter's will always be my greatest accomplishment, my
biggest fans and my every inspiration. I live, breath and would die for them!
I've been married to one of the greatest men in my life for 7 years and I love
him more than chocolate (you know shit just got real :), Justin Timberlake and
Friday's. Without him my website would be a mess and I would probably being
paying more taxes than I should be. He is a jack of many trades and this is
just my opinion but I like to think besides my daughters, I'm his second
biggest accomplishment. (Does anyone else hear a horn tooting?)I was born in
Denver, Colorado -but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don't
have a big family, but I'm close with my sister, brother & my mom. My mom
is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing person
to be raised by. She has supported me throughout this crazy adventure and I'm
lucky to have her on my side!
6 things you should
know about me:
1. I'm a tornado with
lipstick! Translation: I'm very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the
best of them.
2. I adore the color
pink!
3. I love things that
sparkle (including vampires!)
4. I like even numbers
(hence 6 things about me, not 5)
5. I'm loyal to a
fault but I like to see the good in everybody. Don't mistake my kindness for
weakness though because my bark is not always bigger than my bite :))
6. I don't like
calling readers 'fans'. When it come down to it, I am all YOUR biggest fan!
MWAH!I will never be able to thank every reader, every blogger or every author
who has helped me in one or a million ways since I published but I will try
every chance I get. Y'all are the reason I am here and every comment, every
message, every review makes me feel like I have a reason to be. So to the moon
and back, THANK YOU!
Okay, so this was a
little longer than a paragraph.

Book 1:
I loved to dance, but
I don’t anymore.
I was in an accident I
don’t remember… or maybe I don’t want to remember.
Either way, every day
since, has been an adjustment and I’m left with a constant reminder that
nothing is forever.
Now, my life is a
tangled web of darkness filled with deceit, hate, betrayal and lies. I don’t
dwell on the past, I don’t regret and I don’t remember… I survive. But then I
met Ryland Dare and he changed everything. He reminded me that life’s worth
living and that remembering isn’t always a bad thing.
You don’t know true
darkness until you've felt light…
On the outside looking
in, some would say my siblings and I have had a pretty easy life. But beyond
the fancy cars, the huge house and endless social events, is where the truth
really lies. Power hungry father, defeated mother and fake friends? Yeah I have
one of each. Then Araya Noelle comes along and shows me what I’ve been missing.
She thinks I changed her life, but really, she saved mine.
At the edge of
darkness, you must
Dare to HOPE
DARE to LOVE
DARE to LIVE
Excerpt 1:
“I’ve never met anyone like you before Araya. The way you view life and love;
you’re not angry with anything that’s happened to you.”
I turned my head toward him, and a smile tilted the corner of my
lips. “Yeah, I’m kind of amazing that way.” I teased.
He rolled over, bracing his arms on either side of my head, and
we stared at each other upside down. His thumbs swept across my cheeks and his
fingers caressed the sides of my neck up to my jaw. Tilting my
neck back, he kissed my chin, and the dip below my bottom lip. He
brushed his lips back and forth over mine, but the touch was so light, I
couldn’t even be completely sure it had happened.
“Yes, you are.” He whispered.
Excerpt 2:
Colliding into her, we fell against the wall. My mouth came down on hers fiercely, and my fingers flexed around her ribs. I lifted her against me, and her shapely legs wrapped around my waist easily. My hands moved over her hips, and my fingers dug into her flesh, bringing her closer and harder against me. I needed her to know exactly how good this was going to be.

Now for the Cover Reveal for The Grace in Darkness:
Every part of me yearns
for Ryland and there hasn’t been a day that’s gone by that I don’t question if
I made the right decision. Adjusting is something I should be used to by now
but how can I do that when life has other plans?
When darkness consumes
you, only true light can free you
Remembering how I
existed before Araya came into my life and turned everything upside down has
been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I can’t stand to be round anyone
and the feeling is mutual. But I’m ready to take back what’s mine. I’m ready to
be whole again. But every decision has a choice and every choice has a
consequence.
To find the grace in
darkness, you must
Dare to be BRAVE
Dare to be STRONG
Dare to be ALIVE
Teaser:
"I can’t come back as anything that didn’t allow me to be close to you, Hummingbird, because damn it all to hell if I don’t exist unless I’m with you.” -Ryland
