Author Bio:
You guys may be surprised to learn that I am the most boring person you’ll ever
meet. The most interesting thing about me is that I write books, most of the
time in my pajamas and jacked up on caffeine.
I began writing six years ago for fun and
published my first book in 2012. Since then, my hobby has become my job and I
love every second of it.
I live in Illinois, in the country where
I’m surrounded by corn and soybean fields. When I manage to escape my office, I
enjoy fishing, spending time with my family and playing Super Mario Bros. and
Donkey Kong. Yes, I’m a huge video game nerd.

Excerpt:
He moved toward me, and I tensed, anxious to see what he would
do. I had been talking myself into believing I saw hints of attraction whenever
he looked at me, but that was just my obsessed mind playing tricks on me. Dylan
messed around with experienced, tough girls, not spoiled, rich girls like me. I
wouldn’t know the first thing about being with a boy like him.
“There’s something I’ve been wanting to do since last
night,” he said, gripping my waist with both hands. “If you want me to stop,
just tell me, but I only have three days with you, and I can’t wait a second
longer.”
He slid a hand up, cupped the back of my neck, and brought
his mouth to mine. I had only ever kissed James, and those had been sloppy
all-over-the-place kisses—too eager. Dylan’s technique was completely
different—slower. He nipped at my bottom lip, applying enough pressure that
weakened my knees and promised more. I moved my mouth against his, praying he
was enjoying the kiss as much as I was. The grip on my waist tightened, tugging
me closer to his body. Through my thin shirt, I could feel the ridges that made
up his muscular chest. I felt my body slumping against his, yearning to be
closer to him.
When his tongue slipped between my lips, a moan—I didn’t
know I was capable of—vibrated up my throat. Our tongues tangled while Dylan
fisted his fingers in my hair and held me against his body as though he was
afraid I would run. He didn’t know that my legs were too weak to take me
anywhere.
When he broke away from my mouth, he rested his forehead
against mine; our heavy breaths mingled in the space between us. My heart
pounded so hard I was sure he could hear it, and the butterflies in my stomach
took up residence inside my skull, leaving me dizzy. That was not what kisses
were like, at least not in my experience.
