We’ll be coming for you.
Excerpt
One of the windows looks out over Belle Meade. Every landmark is easy to spot from this vantage point. Main Street lined with cars. Shoppers buzzing in and out of stores. City Hall packed with business suits.
Across from us is a telescope. When I move toward it, Edric blocks my path. I place my hand low on his stomach and stand on my tiptoes, knowing it will distract him.
“Let me take a peek, Edric.” My lips feather his skin.
“Be my guest.” He moves out of my way, and I walk past him, breathing in a lungful of air scented with his cologne. The cedarwood isn’t too strong but enough to grab my attention.
I place my eye up to the eyepiece and gasp. I jerk back, only to return for another look.
“It’s on my house.”
“It’s not what you think.” He wrings his hands together, but guilt doesn’t fall from his face like I half-expect.
“Why?”
“Why, what?”
“Why is your telescope pointed at the Mayor’s Manor? Specifically, why is it pointed at my bedroom window?”
“Curiosity.” He releases a long, annoyed breath.
“You’re a Peeping Tom.” A deep scowl creases my forehead. Edric’s been watching me.
“Call it whatever you want, Lennox. I wanted to look at you, so I did.” He runs his thumb over his bottom lip and smirks.
The news should scare me. His viewing me in secret doesn’t elicit fear, though, and I’m not sure why. I want him to watch me, to see me. Maybe he’ll be the first person who finally does, even if it is in the creepiest way possible.
On the other hand, it’s an invasion of my privacy.
“What have you seen?” I ask, because even though I shouldn’t get giddy from the idea, a thrill runs through me.
“Just a girl, who sometimes seems to struggle with who she is. So, she writes in her journal a lot, because it’s the only place she can tell her true fears and desires.” He shakes his head. Is he fearful of what he’ll say next? “I’d give anything to know the secrets you whisper into those pages, Lennox.”

About Lindsey Iler:
Lindsey Iler has had her feet planted in the state of Michigan since she was born and she still lives there with her husband and four kids.
When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with family and friends, listening to music, reading (obviously), and hopefully just enjoying every moment in life. She has a twisted sense of humor, tends to speak honestly, and her mind tends to feel most comfortable in the gutter.
Lindsey writes mature young adult/new adult contemporary romance. She falls in love with every character that pops into her head and is notorious for writing long chapters in her notes on her iPhone. It's embarrassing how many started/unfinished projects are on that thing. She finds inspiration from music and the people around her.

Interview With Lindsey Iler:
1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
Oh
boy, this is a loaded question, isn't it? My books vary in genre and
subject matter. I joke all the time I have a hard time putting myself
into a box and my writing shows it. I started our as a mature YA romance
author and as those characters grew, my debut series shifted into NA
Romance. As time passed, I felt compelled to try something new, so my
most recent release is a Paranormal Romance. I'm a huge fan of the
genre, and once this idea sparked in my head, I knew I needed to write
it.
2. What inspires you to write?
Music. 100%. If I'm writing, I'm listening to music. When I'm watching a movie, I'm listening to the way the music changes the mood of the scene. It's the same way with my writing. I have too many playlists to count.
3. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I have written seven books, but my most absolute favorite is my most recent, Angels of Belle Meade and it's because it's pushed me out of my comfort zone, which I think is something I'm really working on.
4. If you could be friends with one of your character, which one would you chose?
This
is an easy one. Kennedy Conrad, from my Our Worlds Series. If you read
it, you'll understand why. She's accepting and compassionate, and not to
mention strong as hell and loyal. She's the kind of girl you hope your
own daughter will find as a friend.
5. Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
I
write whenever life will allow me. I have four kids under the age of
eight, so my life can be a bit hectic. I'm working on trying to have a
better structure to my writing, so I can guarantee that word count
everyday.
6. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I write on my couch mostly. Or my kitchen table, but the couch is far more comfortable.
7. For someone who hasn't read any of you books yet, which one would you suggest they read first?
I'd
say my debut series. The first book is called When Our Worlds Collide. I
think this may sound strange, but it's my writing at it's rawest,
meaning I had zero worries when I wrote it. To be honest, I published
thinking only my family and friends would read it. I was wrong and the
readers are why it ended up being a 4 book series with a spin-off series
I'm still working on finishing up this year.
8. If you had a superpower, what would it be?
Invisibility. Guys, I'm nosey. LOL. I'd love to be a fly on a wall.
9. What writing projects are you currently working on?
I
am working on the second in the Belle Meade Series, titled, Bones of
Belle Meade. I'm also working on a passion project. It's the one I open
when nothing else is working for me on my current WIP. I'm not sure if
it will end up being anything, but it's a good palette cleanser. Not to
mention, Mature YA and I've missed the genre.
