Lily of the Valley by Sarah Daltry

18+ New Adult romance

You met them in Forget Me Not. Now, hear Jack’s story.

Plagued by a dark past, Jack sees college as a way out. Desperate to escape the area where he grew up, the people who know his secrets, and his own family, he deals with his problems through alcohol and sex.

When he first sees Lily, she’s the epitome of everything he hates. Yet something about her makes Jack rethink everything he knows and assumes about other people. Now, with the help of his best friend and lover, Jack has to decide if he wants to pursue something that he knows will only end badly.

Can Lily be one of the few people who can see Jack for who he really is – or will his darkness be too much for her to handle?

About the author:

Sarah Daltry writes erotica and romance that ranges from sweet to steamy. She moves around a lot and has trouble committing to things. Lily of the Valley is her third full length novel, although she also has several story collections and two novellas available. Her other novels are Forget Me Not, the story that tells Lily’s version of events, and Bitter Fruits, which will be released by Escape Publishing in December. When Sarah isn’t writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.

What inspired you to write your book?

Jack wanted his story told.

Here is a short sample from the book:

At work, though, the people are real. Both the customers and the staff. During the busy times, we get more douchebags, mostly my classmates who probably should be in the library and not eating a hangover away. Mal is also on this morning. He’s a recovering alcoholic, a total asshole to nearly everyone, and an incredibly shitty employee in a lot of ways. But the dude can cook and when I walk in a couple minutes late with no explanation, Mal just shrugs and hands me an order.
“Big parties last night?”
“Huge party. I spent the night reading Dostoevsky.”
“He a scientist?” Mal flips over the largest slab of ham I have ever seen. For all the sort of dive element of this place, the food is still fucking great.
“Yeah, something like that.”
“Eh. Never cared for all that mumbo jumbo. Don’t know any of it and I’m doing just fine.”
That’s something else I admire about Mal. By no one’s standards is he doing just fine. He has a tendency to fall off the wagon as soon as he approaches his ten month anniversary – which he has been doing for likely longer than I have been alive. He’s been married and divorced five times. He has three kids who don’t speak to him. Finally, he only eats the food from the café and he lives in a motel out by the prison. Oh – and he works as a short order cook in a shitty café. But in his mind, life is just fine. Sometimes, I think I need to get a hold of whatever it is that keeps him from losing his shit.
We settle into our routine, since there is little Mal and I can talk about. I can’t discuss Raskolnikov’s character traits and Mal simply has nothing to say. So we cook in silence, but it’s comfortable. After everything I have been through, I feel a strange affinity for this place. Even thinking about leaving when I eventually get the hell out of town makes me a little sad. I hate that it makes me sad. I want to leave with no connections, with no strings.
I go to stick an order on the counter for Liz when I see her. Strawberries. She’s with some dude, who is basically what I pictured when she mentioned her boyfriend. Broad, tan, blond, and eating like a fucking pig. I don’t know what they’re talking about and I can’t see her face, but he loves her. It’s immediately recognizable and I hate him for it. I don’t even know why I hate him for it, since at least maybe he’s not as much of a dick as I would have expected. If we had been placing bets, I would have gone with the safe assumption he had something else on the side to make up for having such a sweet and pure girlfriend. I wonder if maybe she isn’t as innocent as she looks. The thought makes me horny again. I don’t get what is so damn attractive about this typical girl, but something makes me want to taste every inch of her skin.

    Homecoming by Jackie Sexton

    0 out of 5

    Ariane Michaelson is always the quiet girl in the room, the one that her kooky mother and three sisters lovingly call the wallflower. After graduating from college she finds it more than a little difficult to find the graphic design job of her dream…or any job, really. She’s more than given up on painting, and a terrible run-in with her twin sister’s fiancé makes each day harder to keep a life altering secret.

    Liam Ashdown was just the moody small town nobody, with one friend and a busted pickup—until he moved to LA. Spotted by famous actor and producer Michael Jennings during a late night shift at the bar, Liam is transformed seemingly overnight into Tinsel Town’s hottest bad boy. The life Liam once knew is turned upside down with models and mayhem…and there isn’t much down time in-between.

    The only thing that keeps him sane is the paintings. Beautiful ocean portraits that remind him of home, painted years ago by some friend of a friend.

    What he wouldn’t give to know her. To tell her that her art saves him everyday.

    The engagement of his childhood friend, Todd, brings him back home to Craryville, to deal with a drug-addicted mother and an ailing grandmother. But it also brings him hope—somewhere in the bridal party is the woman who has been his calm and respite in the storm of fame.

    The only question is, can she save him?

    Oceans Apart 1 by Amanda Heartley

    0 out of 5

    The hottest New Adult Romance of the summer!

    Review: “…holy heck, this is a hot book. I love stories that are slow burners…that make you wait for the “good stuff” while building up the characters. Amanda did a great job with the intimate cyber scene. Could’ve been really confusing with the back and forth but it felt incredibly real.” – Adele H, Goodreads

    “It’s been months since the big break-up, but what do you do when the life you knew goes straight to hell? How do you pick yourself up from a cheating asshole like Brad?

    Virginia Peterson is living the dream. She’s young, independent, has a loving boyfriend, her own home, a promising career, and Kari, a BFF that makes other girls jealous. What could be better?

    Life is good until she catches Brad with his pants down… and in her home! Needless to say, his ass is out and she’s back to her life as a curvy single woman. She needs to get out more, as brassy Kari keeps reminding her, but she’s not about to go through any more heartbreak. Another man is not on the agenda. Not even for a casual encounter.

    …until Tristan. Tall, tattooed, and an English accent to die for. He’s everything Ginny always dreamed of… bold, captivating and passionate…and he’s way out of her league. Tristan Armstrong is the only son of a real estate mogul. Dad wants him in the office wheeling and dealing, but the posh bad boy is stubborn, rugged, and likes to get down and dirty working with his construction crews around the world.

    After the lies and deception of his debutante fiancé, he’s in no mood for love… then Ginny sets his heart on fire. What happens when their two worlds collide? Can a white-collar rockabilly chick with sensuous hips and a penchant for food be accepted into the lives of British aristocrats? Or will the debutante win when he’s five thousand miles away from her.

    Don’t miss a single minute of the first installment of Amanda Heartley’s panty-melting, new adult erotic romance!

    Review: “Sweet and sexy, building to hot and sizzling, knicker-ripping, heavy-breathing, erotic romance! Who knew a long-distance relationship could be so damn steamy?” – Sherrie, Goodreads

    Oceans Apart is intended for a mature audience, 18+ only.

    Lessons Learned by Jillian Neal

    0 out of 5

    One breathtakingly hot, passion-filled, night ignites a fire in his soul. Everything in his world should be nothing short of perfection…but he is Rainer Lawson.

    His wild evening with Emily is the Realm’s front-page story. Could he have lost the respect of the man that has been like a father to him? Could his family’s hard-earned fortune really dissolve before his very eyes?

    Evil rapidly cinches its chokehold, and everything his father fought and died for threatens to implode. Rainer attempts to protect those that he loves and satisfy the fiery passions between he and Emily, but everything in his world is spinning wildly out of control. His desire to prove himself could very well be his undoing.

    Sometimes the best of intentions are not enough, but perhaps it is the trials by fire that make the man. Steel sharpens steel, and passion burns white hot in “Lessons Learned.”
