Facing Us: A Contemporary Dark Romance (The District Book 1) IS LIVE, and it’s also in Kindle Unlimited. 😀 It’s a part of a series but CAN be read as a standalone!!! *claps*
AND!!! The author (Nicci Harris) is this week’s newsletter sponsor and she’s giving us a sneak peek into the book (and her writing process)!! In fact, she says it has secrets we won’t see coming. GASP!!! YES PLEASE!! That’s my favorite. 😀
P.S. She says:
Finally, another disclaimer: this is the tamest of the series. They only get more intense from here.
Eeeeeeep!!!!!!!
So what’s it about? The beautiful musician on campus dealing with a dark past, and the charismatic rugby player who is completely lost…
…The attraction between the two is undeniable. It borders on frenzy. Crazy. Impulsive. Two people who have worked their whole lives to find freedom and peace, seem to have found the opposite within each other. Intensity. Volatility. And it all threatens to expose what they have tried to escape…
A “Behind the Book” sneak peek… The author says:
I dreamed The District Series up.
I think.
Their story wouldn’t leave me alone. Australia is mysterious. It has a lot of dark corners. This collection of books is about what it’s like to grow up the decedents of convicts and crooks. It has secrets you won’t see coming. It has twists and turns that will leave you with whiplash.
It is their story.
I’m just telling it.
It has:
Jealousy…
“Where are you going with Drake tonight?” Her lips part and she’s sucking extra air in. Her chest rises and falls with more need. My eyes dart to her mouth to watch her tongue run along her lower lip, and I’m overwhelmed with the urge to taste that lip and that tongue.”Violence…
“As I pick up the switch knife and feel the cold metal in my palm, I run my finger over the blade, the rigid edge grating my pad. The excitement of the following five-minutes forces blood directly to my groin and I find myself in a state of impatience, eager to show – ”Sex…
“My lips trail their way desperately down her chin, down to my favourite part of her neck where her pulse throbs frantically, and all over the delicate skin around her chest.”Romance…
“When I hear that sweet voice, my arms tighten around her, twitching with the need to protect her, and clutching with the need to keep her.”
Behind the scenes:
There are two graphic scenes in this book that are not ‘romantic’ in nature.
These scenes were hard to write.
In order to accurately relay one of these scenes I had to research what happens when you drain a human body of blood.
The other scene made my Editor leave a track comment with “Ewwww, you invoked that response from me, good job!”
But it’s not all intensity and heart ache, I promise you’ll laugh out loud throughout the novel also.
Finally, another disclaimer: this is the tamest of the series. They only get more intense from here.
