We've all had disagreements, fights, arguments with loved ones. We fight with our siblings, our parents, our friends. But when we fight with a boyfriend or girlfriend, especially when we are still unsure about our relationship, it can seem so final. Will it be the final straw? Will we break up?

I remember how anxious I felt. The deep sense of loss. Lily faces that moment as well with Simon. She's broken, emotionally. THISTLES AND THORNS is a wonderful young adult paranormal romance. Lily sees ghosts as she struggles to move forward with her teenage years, including a romance with a bright young man in England. 

If you have fans of Nancy Drew, or just love a great story with elements of mystery, THISTLES AND THORNS is a perfect book for you. Now available in Ebook and Print, grab a copy for yourself.

Blurb:
With one ghost on her mind, and another haunting it, Lily’s been ghosted...literally.

Hoping to rekindle her romance with Simon, Lily Deene travels to Anchoret House in the remote Scottish Highlands. Despite a warning to beware of spirits wandering the moors, Lily is drawn to investigate the mysterious death of a young bride, Mairi Morris. She soon realizes that death haunts Anchoret House, and that she too may be in danger.

Lily Deene barely escaped with her life during her last encounter with a ghost, now she's facing another dangerous spirit. If you love mysteries with a little piece of history, you'll love the Lily Deene Series.

EXCERPT:
Oh, yes!” I told him, my voice rising. “The great and allknowing Simon Fitzgibbon says something’s not right. So, it must be so! Let me rush inside, pack my things and leave, right now!”

“Lily, please listen …” he began.

“No! You listen! There is nothing wrong with me except for the fact that I was once stupid enough to think I loved you! Now, please leave me alone!” Much to my utter humiliation, my eyes filled with tears. Shaking with emotion, I tried to push my way past him, but he grabbed my arm.

We stood close together, too close. I knew I should have pushed him away, but I couldn’t make myself do it. I leaned into him and breathed in the musky citrus scent of his aftershave. God, how I’d missed him. At that moment, I would have given anything to have him wrap me in his arms, pull me close, and tell me that he still loved me.

“Lily,” he said, his voice hoarse.

I looked up at him, hope and love blazing in my eyes.

He gazed down at me, a pained expression on his face, then abruptly released me. He took a step back. “You should go back to Brynmoor,” he said gruffly.
​
The words were like a physical blow. I turned and fled, hot tears streaming down my cheeks.

Who doesn't love a bad boy? My earliest crush was Bo Brady on Days of our Lives. He wore a leather coat and rode a motorcycle. He had long hair and a beard. He wasn't the boy that fathers wanted their daughters involved with.

Cam Chase sounds like someone I would have fallen in love with. He's rich and a ladies man. He's loves a good time and enjoys the high life. I would want to redeem him to make sure he was only mine... I don't share well! ;)

Be sure to preorder UP IN THE AIR, Mindy McKinley's latest romance. It's a thrilling ride as Cam finally finds the one woman he's not willing to let go!

Blurb:
She has everything she wants but time.

He has everything he wants but her.

Hanging on by a thread, first-year resident, Maggie Watson doesn’t need anything added to her plate. With a lead doctor always on her case, suffocating family expectations, and a schedule that leaves little time for sleep—the last thing she needs is a distraction. Especially in the striking form of Cam Chase, who stirs feelings in her she has no time for. He’s maddening and vain, but he’s also sweet and tender and despite her best efforts, she finds him taking the lead role in her fantasies. One kiss threatens to upend the delicate balance her life requires.
​
Cam Chase’s infamously charmed life has everything he could ever want on the surface. Handsome and likeable, he’s had all the money, women, and fame one could want. But when his father steps down from the charter jet company he built and leaves it in the hands of his brother Carter, Cam realizes he wants more. Lost and unsure where to look, he finds his purpose where he least expects it—reading to young patients under the watchful eye of Maggie Watson. She makes him want to be a better man and once he knows what he wants, he’ll do anything to prove to her and his family that he is worthy of their trust.
