Stay by S Mulholland Releasing May 31st!!!!!
About the Author
I was born in Honduras but raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin
from a very early age. I went to St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI before
joining the U.S. Navy in 2006. After my short career in the military, I got
married and started having kids. I have two munchkins now J
I’ve been a stay at home mom for a couple of years.
This past Christmas, my husband got a Nook Color as a gift
and he never got to use it because it was always glued to my hands. I never
liked reading but once I picked up that Nook—I was addicted. So I’ve read a TON
of books and it’s become my getaway. I started writing as a hobby but after I
finished Stay, my husband encouraged
me to get out there…so here I am. I love listening to music and find it
inspirational and I think that it goes hand in hand with writing.

Eighteen year old Alexandra has finally made it out of her
abusive mother’s house alive, now going to St. Norbert College in the small
town she grew up in; she wants to experience living her own life, free of
abuse, but on the night she meets Jason Roberts; her fate has something
different in mind.
Alexandra and Jason have a strong connection but the closer
she gets to him, the further he shuts her out. This doesn’t stop Alexandra’s
heart from falling in love with Jason and she fears that he might not feel the
same way about her. Jason holds a lot of mystery and secrets that Alexandra
tries to figure out but on a night when they are to meet, he never shows up,
leaving her to mourn the loss of his absence.
Months later, he returns to tell her he’ll never be able to
be with her the way that she wants to be with him. Hurt for the second time by
the man she loves, Alexandra decides to move on with her life with what others
told her to be “the perfect man”, Zac Millington, but as time goes by she
realizes that things were never as they seemed…as he seemed.
If you had the opportunity to change what becomes your worst
nightmare, would you take the chance to change it or pretend like that
nightmare is what’s meant to be?
Stay is a romantic
depiction of how two people that are meant to be together are torn apart by the
one thing they both have in common. As they both go through their own versions
of abuse, will they be able to stay after finally finding each other again?
Excerpt: (Might differ from published version)
“Are you sure this is the right
house? Looks empty.”
I say breaking the silence
between us. He lets go of my hand and peeks through the window on the door.
There’s obviously nobody here. It’s dark as hell in there.
“Shit. They told me to come a
long time ago; I guess I took too long. I’m sorry; I thought for sure I would
be able to turn your early night into a long one.”
He says turning around to face
me.
I can see his eyes now because of
the light on the back porch and they look like sapphire blue…just deep blue
eyes that are intense and intimidating. It seems as though he can see right
through me with those piercing eyes of his so I get fidgety again. He obviously
knows I’m staring at him. God, I have to
get away from this guy, I am a blabbering and fidgety idiot in front of him.
I don’t know how much more I can embarrass myself.
“No biggie. This is actually the
most fun I’ve had all night, so I should be thanking you, Jason…uh....Jason..?”
I ask because I want to know his last name to make sure I stalk him on the
internet. Wow I’m a tool.
“Roberts. Jason Roberts” He
responds with a smirk.
“Well Jason Roberts. Would you
like to walk me to my dorm room so that I can start my early night?”
I say with a voice that’s
supposed to be flirty but I think sounds more like I’m a nervous wreck, which I
am, but he doesn’t have to know that. I look down at my feet because that was
the worst attempt at flirting.
I feel the intensity of his eyes
on me “of course, Alexandra….Alexandra….uh…?”
I look up at his smiling face
“Angel…Alex Angel”
I return his smile.
“Nice. Interesting name. I like
it, Alexandra Angel…shall we?”
