Together We Heal by Chelsea M. Cameron is out now! I have an excerpt for you!
Trish Grant is not a romantic. Okay, so she may read her share of romance novels, but that doesn’t mean she thinks that some fellow with a six pack is going to ride up on a horse and sweep her (literally) off her feet. Romance like that just isn’t for her. It belongs on the page.
Max Jackson noticed Trish at his cousin’s funeral, of all places. She was hard to miss with her citrus-colored hair, violet contacts and fiery attitude.
Trish was just as captivated by Max. He makes her laugh, which is rare, and it doesn’t hurt that he rocks blue hair and the most killer smirk that drives her crazy. Max is there for her during a rough time and even if she wanted to, she can’t shake him.
There are things about Trish that Max doesn’t know, and she’s not going to tell him. She hasn’t told anyone and doesn’t plan on it, thank you very much. But when Trish’s life is ripped apart by a dark piece of her past, will she let Max in? Or will she give up her potential fairytale to protect her already-scarred heart from further damage?

We met at a funeral.
Not the most auspicious start for a relationship, but whatever. I was dealing
with a lot of shit and then there was a boy with blue hair and a smile that
made my heart do funny things, even though it was broken.
He didn’t know why I was so torn
up about Ric. He was her cousin, but knew what she was like. A raging bitch
most of the time. They say not to speak ill of the dead, but Ric was Ric. She
was a bitch and a pretty terrible person, but that didn’t stop me from caring about her.
He didn’t ask why I was so upset
and then he said something about zombies. It was totally inappropriate, given
the circumstances, but it made me laugh anyway. It didn’t hurt that he was disgustingly cute. Like,
painfully cute. It was hard to look at him for too long.
Of course my brother
and my stupid friends saw me laughing with someone of the opposite sex and
automatically assumed something. Okay sure, I didn’t smile all that often, or laugh, but mind
your own fucking business.
Things moved fast after
that. We decided to date and that was that. For the most part.
“Hun, can you hand
me my pencil?” Max said as the
pencil he’d
placed on the table rolled to the floor of the library.
“Sure thing,” I said, leaning down and picking it up. So
I wasn’t much
of an academic, but I got my homework done. Max had been a good influence on me
since he studied harder than anyone I knew, except for maybe Audrey. The guy
worked three jobs to put himself through school, so he took his study time
seriously.
And then there was me.
School was never my thing, but when you had an older brother that was a
self-described “fucking genius”, you had no choice but to join in.
I
still hadn’t
picked a major, but I’d
been taking all my general education requirements and after those were done, I’d figure it out. I still
had time.
I handed the pencil to
Max and he grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it. I rolled my eyes, but
inside my stomach fluttered. I thought that feeling would go away by now, but
nope. Still there every time he looked at me.
