Lost To You (The Regret Series 0.5)

Synopsis

People come into our lives. Some stay, and many go. Some build us up, while most tear us down. They become our friends, our enemies, our lovers, our tormentors.

Christian Davison came into mine, and I knew I’d never be the same.

To Elizabeth Ayers, New York City had always been a dream. She’s worked her entire young life to make it here.

Groomed to one day take over his father’s law firm, attending Columbia University was Christian Davison’s only option.

Neither wanted anything more until they sat across from each other at a café table after being paired as study partners.

Christian wants her, but Elizabeth knows better than to give into their intense attraction. Yet there is little she can do to stay away.

Lost to You, the prequel to the bestselling romance, Take This Regret. A New Adult novella, recommended for readers 17+. It’s unnecessary to have read Take This Regret to enjoy Lost to You.

Take This Regret (The Regret Series 1.0)

There are some mistakes we make that we will regret for the rest of our lives.  For Christian, it was the day he betrayed Elizabeth.

Christian Davison has a plan for his life.  He is determined to become an attorney and to one day take his place as partner in his father’s law firm.  Nothing will stand in his way, not even Elizabeth Ayers and their unborn child.

After Christian cuts her from his life, Elizabeth spends the next five years struggling to provide for her daughter and willing to sacrifice anything to give her child a safe, comfortable life.

For five years, Christian has regretted the day he walked away from his family and will do anything to win them back just as Elizabeth will do anything to protect her daughter from the certain heartache she believes Christian will bring upon them.

When Christian wrestles his way into their lives, Elizabeth is faced with asking herself if it is possible to forgive someone when they’ve committed the unforgiveable and if it is possible to find a love after it has been buried in years of hate.  Or are there some wounds that go so deep they can never heal?

They say everyone deserves a second chance.

Pulled

Melanie Winters and Daniel Montgomery shared a love most only dream of, a love they believed bonded them together for life.  When their world is shattered by the tragic loss of their daughter, overwhelming grief and misguided guilt distorts the truth, and their relationship ends in uncertainty and unanswered questions.

For nine years, they drift through life, each unable to forget the one who holds the strings to their heart.  In an attempt to escape the pain of her past, Melanie finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage, while Daniel loses himself in a career that means nothing without Melanie by his side.

Now, when their lives again intersect, neither can deny the connection they felt so long ago.

But will the power that drew them together be enough to heal the wounds from their past, and will they have the courage to overcome the insecurities and fears that threaten to keep them apart?

Pulled is a story of attraction and separation, of destiny and duty, of a love so strong it refuses to give up even when all others have.

When We Collide

From the bestselling author of Pulled and Take This Regret comes a gripping new tale of loss and love.

William has spent six years running from his past and the last eight months trying to rid his mind of the dreams that increasingly haunt his nights. Trapped in a world of false ambitions and feigned affections, William knows he’s reached a breaking point and something’s going to give.

Maggie had lived her entire life without hope until one man showed her what it meant to be loved. He’d been her light in a lifetime of darkness. Six years ago, that darkness stole him away. Without him, she’s surrendered herself to an existence she doesn’t know how to escape.

When the family William left behind is struck by tragedy, he is called back to the one place he’s sworn to never return to again.

In a moment that will change his life forever, William comes face to face with the girl who, with one look, captured his heart. He is unable to ignore the buried desires and the hope for the future they’d once believed they’d have.

Now William is ready to fight to take back what had been stolen from him six years before.

But he never imagined what that fight might cost him.

Thank you so much for having me on your site.  I love your questions! J

How long have you been writing?  On and off for years but as a published author, for over a year now.

You’ve written the My Body Trilogy. In what order should they be read?  My Body-His, My Body-His (Marcello) and then My Body-Mine, but each have been written as standalones as well. For those who don’t care for dark erotic suspense, they can skip to My Body-Mine which is still suspenseful but more of a romance.

What is the most difficult thing about being an author?  Balancing social media and writing and sometimes reading bad reviews. Editing can be a challenge as well.

What’s the best part of being an author?  Writing, seeing my books in print and I do love connecting with my readers. That never gets old!

What induced you to write BDSM genre? Not Fifty Shades of Grey. LOL! I wrote the first two books of my trilogy years before that came out. Honestly, I thought it was an interesting way to explore the power dynamics in a relationship and explore the conflict and the internal struggle between what you think should turn you on and what actually does.

Please give us three words that best describe Luke? Dominant, secretive, and damaged.

And Jane, please? Lonely, lost and vulnerable. In the beginning, anyway, but most certainly not in the end.

How did these characters come about? This is a question that I’m often asked and I don’t really have a really good answer for you. Jane kept metaphorically poking at me to tell her story, so I did. 

What is your inspiration?  It is the love of reading and writing. I bask in getting lost in a juicy story I can’t put down and I’m inspired to create that experience for others.

I’ve been checking out your website and thought I read that you may have more of Jane in the works, am I correct? I might write a prequel but that would be about Luke and Janice. One never knows though. I have been asked by fans to write a prequel about Chase, too.

Do you have plans for any books outside this genre? (Again I thought I read you were.) Most definitely. My husband and I are gearing up to soon publish a contemporary romance called The Demarcation of Jack. I’ve started my next series which is erotic romance this time. I’m about 2/3 done with Stuck In-Between which is the first book of the Bound By Your Love series.

What do you do when you are not writing? Too much social media! LOL! We spend time with family and friends, love watching movies and a couple of TV shows, reading, going to the lake and laying in the sun when it’s warm enough. I have to say I miss reading. I don’t do it nearly as much now that I’m writing, editing and online so much.

Hello and Welcome to all of you. I am so excited to get this site up and running; Matti and I have worked quite a while in preparation for this day. In the fuss and mess I ran out of time to meet all my obligations. Therefore I called upon my friend Ambjour Criss to help me out. She reads more than me and that says a lot about her credentials. Anyway please welcome my friend Ambjour. Thank you again for stopping by. Hang around and enter the drawing for free e-books. Enjoy, Kathy Anderson.

Hello, I am Ambjour. Kathy asked me to read the “Light In The Wound” by Christine Brae and give her some questions to ask the author. She told me only that I would love the book and she needed help with this page. I was skeptical but once I read the book I was all about it!

So, today we welcome Christine Brae Author of the book “The Light In The Wound.” A true love story told by an amazing writer in the most heart wrenching way.  It is the story of three beautiful people caught in a love triangle that shatters hearts and wounds souls.

This story broke me apart and rebuilt me so many times I was unable to forget it for days. Even now I want more although the story is a stand alone, I want more of Isa, Alex and Jesse. I believe every one needs to read this book.

Now, I would like to thank you Christine for allowing me to interview you.

Thank you Ambjour, it’s nice to be here. I would also like to thank Kathy at Klassy Editing for inviting me to stop by for a visit. What an honor to be one of your very first featured authors!

1.1.1.      Will you tell us please what author or authors have inspired you to write this           book, or to begin writing at all?

Sure! I’ve always loved to write even as a child – poems and essays, mostly. In the past year I had the privilege of meeting many Indie authors who have since then become close friends. Through their encouragement and support, I was able to gather up enough guts to put my thoughts and feelings on paper and write an entire book!

1.1.2.      So how did you come to write this story?

This story is very personal to me. I thought that it would be a good thing for me to write about the emotions and reactions to loving someone. Many women have experienced similar feelings at some point in their lives. Love and the emotions that come with it is universal, getting these thoughts and feelings on paper is the tough part. I wanted to share this experience with the world.

1.1.3.      I love the sister’s relationships in the book and I know you have sisters! Is there     anything in the book that reflects your relationships with your sisters?

I do have sisters! And they are strong willed and flawed and loving and kind as the sisters in the book. Each character embodies the essence of each of my sisters. I wanted to honor their role in my life in this way.

1.1.1.      Why did you decide Isabel would live with someone other than where her sisters   were and why did she never formed a relationship with her father?

I didn’t really decide this – I wrote it like it is. To make something up like this would have been very difficult to conceptualize and articulate. Isabel had her grandfather to make up for her lack of a relationship with a male role model.

1.1.2.      Did you know before writing the book which man Isabel would end up with at      the end of “The Light In The Wound” or did you decide during the writing    process?

Great question! I allowed the voices and the characters in my head to lead me to the eventual and most fitting ending for the book. The way that the characters developed and grew and matured led to the most logical end; given the lessons that they learned along the way.

1.1.3.      You did an amazing job of portraying Jesse’ angst the night before Isabel’s wedding! Did you get a male’s perspective or did you think of it all on your own?

Jesse actually told me everything years later, as we are in a bar having a drink…. (winks)

1.1.4.       Is there any significance with the #7 for you?  Seven was the number of years       Isa and Jesse had together. Then Alex took her on a special vacation on their 7^th             anniversary. Was this a random choice of a number is does it mean something  special to you personally?

I’m going to tell you a little secret. The number seven is the number seven   (tongue in cheek)

1.1.5.      Are there any plans to write about any or all of the sisters?

No plans! My sisters are already being stopped by their co-workers and friends for scoop on their lives and what really happened. So I think I’m going to leave them alone to live their lives in private now that I’ve already blown it open by divulging those things in the first book! My poor sisters had no clue….

1.1.6.      What are your future writing plans/goals?

Well, as you know, His Wounded Light which is the second and last book about Jesse, Isa and Alex releases on December 10. After that, who knows? I am writing another completely different book but won’t plan on any release dates until mid 2014.

1.1.7.      Do you have a teaser from His Wounded Light? Please…yes I’m whining….

Head on over to my Facebook Page! We’re going to be posting teasers every Friday until release day!

1.1.1.      Please tell us where people can buy your next great book! (She giggles at my          enthusiasm!)

My book is currently available on Amazon but will be available on  Smashwords, Nook and Kobo pretty soon. As I mentioned earlier, “His Wounded Light” releases on December 10. I can’t wait for you all to read it!

Well, Christine, I would like to reiterate my appreciation for the opportunity to interview you! This is has been an exciting adventure for me.

THANK YOU so much for having me today. These were such great questions!
