  Synopsis

Have you ever wished you could have something so bad, even though you knew it was forbidden?

Jonathan Gates was just that—forbidden. He was everything I could ever want in a man: charming, a great listener, open-minded, and funny. It also didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes.

We'd been through a lot together: breakups, makeups, firsts, lasts, and anything else you can imagine. I was once told he was my soul mate, but I refused to believe that.

I didn't want to love him. I didn't want to fall for him because...he was my best friend!

But I did, and I fell for him hard. I was in love with my best friend, and it was time he knew how I really felt.

EXCERPT:

MICKEY ROSE’S DIARY

Age: Sixteen

Diary Entry: Broken

Dear Diary,

Here I am again, bawling my eyes out, heartbroken, and feeling so numb that I’m scaring myself. I feel like I’m being punished for wanting to love someone. Why is love such a tormenting thing for me? I wish someone could take the feeling of love away from me so I wouldn’t keep getting hurt. My heart feels like someone put their hand on my chest and dug their nails into my heart until it was a second away from stopping.

When will it stop? The pain of rejection—that’s what this has to be. Once I fall for someone and make it clear they’re all I want, they slap me in my face and tell me with their actions that they don’t love me in the same way, whether they mean to or not. It took me a while to let him back in after the last time and now it’s happening all over again and I can’t face this hurtful truth. I never thought he’d put me through this again and now that I’m older and really understand what true love means, I didn’t think I’d be here all alone again.

This was complete bull and the stupid note he left didn’t make things any better. How could he do this to me? And leave me a note so vague I don’t even know why he’s really leaving? Who would try to hurt his family?

I tried so hard not to fall for him again and what does he do? He takes my heart, stomps on it, and buries it in the dirt.

I can’t deal with this right now. Screw you Jonathan Gates. Even if it takes me years, I will get over you, and you better not try and weasel your way back into my life.

Good-bye to this chapter of my life. It’s time to grow up and enjoy the next few years.

-Michelle

Interview With Niquel:

1. Can you tell us a little about your books?

Well my books range from interracial smut to sweet and loving. Oh and I have a paranormal ;). All of my books have a little of me incorporated into them.

2. Which book has been the most fun to write?

The CEO hands down! It was fun to reverse the roles and write about a dominant, take-charge female!

3. What inspires you to write?

My kids. I want them to see me as more than a home maker. I’ve always been into art and graphics, and being an author, I get the best of both worlds! I want them to see that mommy can still go for her dreams while taking care of them.

4. How did you choose the genre you write in?

I write in several, so I just write whatever speaks to me. Whether it’s paranormal or romantic suspense.

5. Do you have a favorite spot to write?

On the couch in my notebook. Or the computer.

6. Do you work with an outline, or just write?

Just write. Sometimes I might know the ending ahead of time and plan around it, but I’m mainly a pantser lol.

7. When did you know you wanted to write a book?

A few months after my second child was born. It was like therapy for me.

8. Are you attending any author book signing events this year? 

A Royal Affair in May. Mase 16 in June and Submit and Devour in July.

9. What are you working on next?

A rock star romance. It may be a series, but I haven’t worked out the kinks yet lol.The book is titled Jamison and you can add it to your goodreads---> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28809141-jamison no release date yet!
