Synopsis:
She’s been broken by her past. He’s been breaking for as long as he can remember.
Together, they can make each other whole–or destroy each other.
When his best friend asks for something, Dane rarely says no. But babysitting a newly sober Scout Grimes for three weeks isn’t exactly a normal request. And with their history, it’s a recipe for disaster. Not to mention, she’s drop dead gorgeous and he can’t touch her.
There are few people Scout trusts as much as Dane Guillot. He’s always been her safe place, where nothing can hurt her. He’s also been the only man she’s never let herself want–screwing up their friendship isn’t worth one amazing night together.

BOOK COVERS
I love book covers. It’s one of my favorite things about self-publishing. Talking to my cover artist is one of my favorite things in the world. I spend a lot of time before I send my thoughts to Melissa (The Illustrated Author)—trying to determine what theme and overall feeling of the cover. Eventually, I quit and send her something incredibly basic like “Can it be sexy and set in the fall??” and she gives me the text equileveant of a pat on the head. A few days later, she sends me back something so perfect, it blows me away.
So what do I love about this cover? Everything? Specifically, there are no eating faces kisses (win!) but the embrace is sexy and almost desperate—something that is very true of the characters. The colors of the trees and the beams of sunlight are particularly gorgeous and eye catching. But what totally sold me on the cover was the font. I loved how it was stark and beautiful and a little bit twisted and turned around. It fit the mood of the story perfectly.
You tell me—what’s your favorite cover and why?? I’d love to hear from you here or on Twitter @NazareaAndrews
