Young Adult Suspense

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and that's great... as long as you don't die.

Sixteen-year-old Haley Tremaine had it all: top-notch school, fantastic family, and a bright future, but all of that changed when an accident tore her family apart. Now, an alcoholic father, a bitter younger sister, and a cold headstone bearing her mother’s name are all she has left.

Chris Charming has it all: a powerful CEO for a father, a prestigious school, and a fortune at his fingertips, but none of that matters when he lands a reputation as a troublemaker. Struggling to follow in his father’s footsteps, he reaches out to the one person he believes truly sees him, the one person he wants: Haley.

Little do they know someone's determined to bring the two together, even if it means murder.

Re: Charming

It's horrible when home becomes Hell. I enjoyed your post. Please enter me.

Home is supposed to be a place where you can take a deep breath, but
that is not Haley's life. Thanks for commenting!

I can relate to your posting today, but on a different
level. Your posting reminded me of what it was like growing
up, and I hope your book will help other girls, who are
going through something similar right now. It took the
death of my parents, to finally come to terms of my grief,
and we're talking decades after my Hell!! I'm just now
trying to deal with it, but know I won't be hurt anymore.
Thank you for writing your book, and helping others.

I am so looking forward to reading Charming!

Oh Peggy, thank you so much. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but
I'm glad you've found your strength.

And thank you, Jenny!

I was lucky never to experience something like this. This would be a very good book to read!
(

Poor Haley - she sounds like a modern-day Cinderella. Hope that she has a fairy-tale ending in your book.
(
Joanne Schultz 4:01pm September 15, 2014)

Oh yeah.... I remember getting knots in my stomach when I
pulled into the driveway and saw my husband's car was
there! Thank goodness he found a f**k buddy and left me!

How horrible it would be to have home not be a haven. Would
love to see the heroine overcome such situation.

Ah, a celebration of family life.

:/

Lots of families like that.

But the title _Charming_ scawes me....
(

Great first chapter. I hope it has a happy ending!
(

Looking forward to reading this book.

That first line really pulls you in. The excerpt sounds very interesting.
(
Larena Hubble 12:56pm September 16, 2014)

Awesome excerpt Krystal, I LOVE how Haley counts the number of steps into her private hell. The character of Haley just grabs & won't let go of me as the reader.

Touched a chord re my own childhood. Could use your HEA ending....
(
Elaine Seymour 1:18pm September 16, 2014)

Thank you for the chance to win. I like when authors write about what they know because the book becomes more "real." It is just blah when the subject is not a good one to know.
(
Sally Hannoush 3:47pm September 16, 2014)

I would love to read this book. Thank you for the chance !!
(
Susan King 8:31pm September 16, 2014)

I photo alone is interesting .The cover makes me want to
check it out.
(
Deb Pelletier 8:37pm September 16, 2014)

Charming sounds charming!
(
Denise Austin 10:42pm September 16, 2014)

Can someone explain the cover picture to me?
(
Sarah Nicholas 11:20pm September 16, 2014)

Hi Sarah, the cover picture is a representation of some of the horror that
takes place in the novel. While there is a lot of my personal pain woven
into the story, it is still a thriller with a killer.
(
Krystal Wade 8:50am September 19, 2014)

I think that when everyone looks back at their childhood,
they look back at happy times, but also find things that
weren't quite as happy as they thought they were. I
actually have things in mine that haunt me today, although
I've tried to bury those things as far down as I can. Right
now I've considered writing a book, so I can wrestle these
demons once and for all, to put them to rest. I would love
to read your book, nonetheless, to read part of your story,
and see how you handled yours. Thank you for such a
brutally honest posting!! You're so young to have gone
through such hardship, and come out swinging!! It has made
you that much stronger.
(
Peggy Roberson 10:25am September 30, 2014)

Thank you so much for commenting, Peggy. I shared such a strong
connection with Haley in CHARMING. Even Christine, Haley's best friend,
was near and dear to me.
