Greetings! I come to you this month bearing the cover and preorder link for my new novella, In Over Our Heads. Behold the beautiful cover by the amazing L.C. Chase:
I’m dazzled!
BLURB
Anthony Vallen is the life of any party. Full of energy and fun, Anthony adores romance and enjoys playing matchmaker for his friends while dancing the night away with a series of Mr. Right Nows. But he’s given up on his own happy ending. A bad breakup years ago made him a secret cynic about love… until he runs into Walter Elkins—the boy who broke his teenaged heart—on a scuba-diving vacation in Key West. Suddenly, Anthony’s reasons for shunning romance no longer hold much water. Being with Walter again forces Anthony to get serious—about himself, his worth, and his heart’s desires.
Brilliant and self-contained, scientist Walter Elkins prefers deep thoughts to other people. He’s a good boss and a model citizen, but Walter doesn’t let anyone get close. After a tragedy drove him out of his science career, Walter landed in Key West and became owner of a dive shop and a bar. Things are fine until Anthony Vallen—the only person who ever penetrated his defenses—shows up, and Walter’s calm, controlled life capsizes. He and Anthony have a second chance for love, but Walter must confront the old fears that threaten to torpedo their happiness.
TAGLINE:
A second chance for romance plunges them into deep waters. Without love’s lifeline, they’re sunk.
In Over Our Heads follows the events of All the Way to Shore but can be read as a stand-alone. Anthony Vallen was such a vibrant character in the first book that I had to write him his own happy ending. And he was such fun to write! He’s so sure he’s just a player, until seeing Walter again has him confront his yearning for love. And Walter–so serious and well-meaning but so clueless. All his attempts to protect Anthony from danger only make matters worse. I plunged these boys into deep waters and it was so satisfying to have them find their way to real love.
