People think I'm a douche.
And maybe I am.
I use most people.
It's what I know.
But if I love you,
I'd die for you.
I just don't know that I'm worth loving.

Handsome, privileged bad boy Zac Moore has always played by his own rules - at school, in business, with women. He's rewritten the rules to suit his own needs and his needs are all that matter.

Serious and focused family friend Liliana Castillo has one goal. Leave the pre-Med program at Yale to help people in developing nations.

As their paths cross and uncross, a tale of love, agony, betrayal and growth is woven, transforming two people who've hidden from relationships and love.

This is a stand-alone novel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Zac oh Zac definitely an bad boy. I really didn't like him in the beginning of the book but as the story went on my opinion changed.

A story of second chances and emotions.

This was a great read, I really enjoyed it as it was well written and enthralling.

Bad Son Rising Excerpts 



"Lils, I don't know that I'm great boyfriend material. I'm used to being a dick. It's what I know." He was hoping she'd say something, but she didn't. "But I would want it to be different with you. You're not a drive-by. And I don't really know how to do the other stuff. But you make me want it. You make me want to try."

Sweeping her hair to one side, he buried his face in her neck.

Finally, she spoke, "Are you saying this to me because we're stuck here? Because if you are, don't. I don't want a one night stand with you, Zac."

Letting his teeth graze the soft skin of her neck, he felt her shiver, "I don't want a one night stand with you either and with my track record I know that may be hard to believe. And of course the one girl I want to believe it, doesn't." Pulling his mouth away from her delicious tasting neck, he rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Ok, I've got nothing to lose here," he began. "The weekend we met, all I wanted to do was make you notice me," he laughed, "and you didn't even know that I was alive. I wanted to make you smile, Lils. Isn't that crazy. I just wanted to make you smile."

Turning herself fully within the circle of his arm, she was on her knees facing him, "You wanted to make me smile?"

He nodded.

"I was so miserable. I just wanted to be over here. I didn't want to be back at Yale." Surprising him, she placed her hands on his cheeks, "And you wanted to make me smile?"

He nodded again.

And there it was, beautiful and elusive, and Zac could feel his emotions rising dangerously close to the surface. Liliana Castillo had a heart stopping smile and the only thing he could do was return it with one of his own.

Interview Courtesy Brandee Marie Newmiller

You've been an author now for quite some time and I'd like to congratulate you for 

recently becoming a published author, that's quite an achievement! I'm sure you’re very 

thrilled. I would like to ask you some questions about your writing in general and also 

about your first published book, Palace Hills.

1. What inspired you to write your first book?

My very first book, Green: A Life Force Novel, which was self-published in 2013, 

was actually inspired by a very vivid and detailed dream. It’s funny because I actually 

keep a pseudo-dream journal on my phone and just days ago I found my entry for this 

specific dream! It was dated January 29, 2013 and the book was released July 2013 :)

2. Do you have a specific writing style?

I actually tend to write in first-person narrative more often than not. Though I do 

have a few stories that aren’t written in this style, I tend to gravitate towards it. I have a 

degree and Psychology and have always held a fascination with the motivation behind 

certain behaviors. I think this is the reason why I love first-person narrative. It’s a way 

for both me and the reader to enter the main characters’ minds and see what makes 

3. If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?

What’s awesome about being a Limitless Publishing author is the close-knit team/

network we all have. I can count on this amazing and talented team for guidance, 

knowledge and support. I don’t have one specific mentor but a whole team’s worth :)

4. Can you share a little of your current work with us?

I actually just finished writing a Contemporary Romance set on the sunny coast 

of California (where I grew up). It is currently being beta-read and revised, but I hope to 

submit it to my publisher soon!

5. Let's talk about your brand new book, Palace Hills. How did you come up with 

your idea to write it?

I actually came up with the idea back in my early 20s. I knew I always wanted to 

be an author and would often come up with many different stories, but unfortunately I’d 

never have the time to sit down and write them out. Back in 2006 I’d seen different 

movies, books, and TV shows on urban life and decay. The setting really intrigued me 

and inspired me. I wanted to take the urban setting and infuse it with a romance story. 

Palace Hills was the final product of this fusion :) Since it had been eight years since I 

originally thought of the plot, Palace Hills has grown and morphed quite a bit, but I’m 

happy with how it turned out. 

6. What were the challenges (research, literary, psychological, and logistical, if any) 

I think the biggest obstacle was to shape Nina Sharman (the main character) and 

represent her in a way that made readers understand and empathize with her as 

opposed to becoming angry with her. She goes through a lot of trauma and turmoil that 

can really break person and I wanted to readers to understand this and realize how 

strong she really is despite these tribulations.

7. Is there any message you want us, as readers, to take away from this story?

The main theme of this book is self-forgiveness. We’ve all done something in our 

lives that we regret and often these regrets are what stifle our growth. I want my readers 

to realize that our past does not necessarily define our future. 

8. Again, congratulations on Palace Hills and your writing career so far and we 

hope to one day see something on the "big screen"! Do you see it happening one 

day, whether it is Palace Hills or another?

It is one of my biggest dreams to see one of my stories on the big screen :) My 

writing method involves imagining each scene as if it were a movie playing out. From 

the scenery, the small details and of course the characters! It would be awesome to see 

any of my books as a movie! I can only hope this really happens one day :)

9. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

I just want to thank my readers wholeheartedly for reading my books. As a 

bookworm myself it’s awesome to think that there are other bibliophiles delving into my 

stories. It’s really such an honor and I am SO thankful for every single one of my 

10. Do you have any advice for other writers?

Write. Write your hearts out. Just let your mind loose and see where it takes you! 

You’ll be surprised to see what you come up with :)

Thank you for your time and look forward to reading more from you in the future! ;)

Thank you for having me!

Amazon

WICKED Synopsis: Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her. But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.   Author PhotoA

Excerpt from ROCK ADDICTION
by Nalini Singh


Fox hadn’t become the lead singer of one of the best-selling rock bands in history by being a shrinking violet. No, he went after what he wanted, no holds barred. And the raw promise he could feel between him and Molly? He had to know where it would lead, the need so strong he hadn’t felt anything like it since the day he’d figured out that music was his escape, the air in his lungs.
Which was why he was leaning against the wall beside Molly’s apartment at five that afternoon, a guitar by his side.
The elevator doors opened at a quarter after the hour, Molly going motionless two steps outside of it, the doors closing silently at her back. Yeah, she hadn’t expected him, but Fox was ready to work with that. Waiting patiently as she took a deep breath and completed the trek down the corridor, he drew in the scent of her, his gaze lingering on the fluttering pulse in her neck.
“How did you get past security?”
Fox smiled slowly at the blurted-out question, wondering if Molly knew how bad she was at hiding her emotions. He liked it, liked that he saw the real Molly, not an illusion she’d created to tempt him—not that she had to do anything but smile to tempt him. “I told you the security sucks.”
Unable to resist, he reached out to run his finger down one creamy cheek flushed with a mix of surprise, passion, and, he was certain, sweet, hot feminine anger. His guess was borne out when Molly unlocked her door with jittery hands and put down her handbag on one corner of the bench, her fingers trembling before she curled them into her palms. “You’re breaking the rules.”
“What rules?” Closing the door, he leaned back on it and willed her to face him. Much as he loved the shape of her from the back, he liked watching those expressive eyes whisper her mood to him.
Shoulders tight, she turned. “This was supposed to be a one-night stand.”
“Ah.” Folding his arms over the plain black of his T-shirt, he said, “How about a one-month stand instead?” He knew he had to play this exactly right. Molly was wary of him, and yeah, he could understand why. To have her in his life beyond a fleeting instant, he’d have to win her trust.
She jerked up her head. “What?”
“Why not? I like you. You like me.” He smiled—because the reason Molly had needed to jerk up her head was that she’d been staring at his chest. “Admit it.”
Sitting down on the bench, she began to unzip her boots, very obviously not looking at him. “You’re okay for a rock star.”
He wanted to bite her, then pet her until she was limp and languid in his arms. “We burn up together.” Deliberately modulating his voice—his instrument—for maximum effect, low and bedroom rough, he saw her fingers stutter on the zipper. “I’m here for a month. It’s an easy equation.”
When the words “Let me think about it” fell from her mouth, he thought she might’ve been as startled as he was, her lips parting on a slight gasp—as if to call back the declaration.
