Book Description
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think
out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the
same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story.
And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything
fell apart.
Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward,
Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But
after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she
makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far
behind.
With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few
necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound
bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew
Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark
secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed
never to fall in love.
But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things
she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live
out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their
sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life,
pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined
possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear
them completely apart?

Author's Bio & Links
Author of THE DARKWOODS TRILOGY and DIRTY EDEN, mother, werewolf &
zombie fanatic, book addict and a happy hermit obsessed with the Universe. Oh,
and AMC’s “The Walking Dead”.
Addictions: Starbucks every morning, trolling Barnes & Noble’s shelves
once a week, detesting winter, shopping flea markets and preparing for the
collapse of society as we know it. Do I own a tin foil hat? Maybe. :-)
I was born in Arkansas and have lived here most of my life, except the
couple of times when I lived in Pennsylvania. I started my first novel at the
age of thirteen and have been writing something ever since. Generally, I
love characters in life and on paper. I pay attention to people, especially
those whose personalities make them different from the rest of us: the drug
addict roaming the Laundromat that talks to himself, the young, inattentive
mother in the park with the meanest kid on the playground – (the entire cast of
‘Swamp People’) – characters fascinate me and I hope that it shows in my
literary work.
Some authors that inspire me are Neil Gaiman, Anne Rice, Cormac McCarthy,
Max Brooks, J.K. Rowling, Richard Matheson, William R. Forstchen, Carrie Ryan,
David Moody, Phillipa Gregory and Lisa Smedman. I’m always on the lookout for
the next great book to pull me into its world and piss me off when I read the
last page and know that it’s over.
I’m a sucker for anything Christopher Lee, Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton and
Cate Blanchett. But my biggest fan-girl superstars are Alex Filippenko, Michio
Kaku, Brian Cox, Michelle Thaller and Neil Degrasse Tyson!
Also, almost more than anything I
love nature and this beautiful planet that I live on. I just wish everyone else
did too….
Excerpt From The Edge Of Never
I pull my hand from his and grasp the fabric above my
boobs and pull the top up a little so that it feels better in place.
“I love you in that,” he says, “but you have to admit,
it’s a distraction for douchebags.”
“Well, I don’t want to walk all the way back to the hotel
just to change my top.”
“No, you don’t have to do that,” he says, reaching for my
hand again. “But if you want to go to another club, you’re gonna have to do
something for me, alright?”
“What?”
“Just pretend
you’re my girlfriend,” he says and a little smile spreads across my lips. “At
least that way no one will fuck with you, or they’re less likely to try,
anyway.”
He pauses and looks at me and says, “Unless you want guys to hit on you?”
It takes no time at all for my head to start shaking. “No.
I do not want any guys to hit on me.
Innocent flirting, fine—it does wonders for my confidence—but not douchebags.”
“Good, then it’s settled. You’re my sexy girlfriend for
the night, which means I get to take you back to the room later and make you
squeal a little.” There’s that boyish grin of his again that I love so much.
I’m tingling between the legs now. I swallow hard and play
it off by playfully narrowing my eyes at him.
I’m just glad to see his dimples again, as opposed to that
wrathful—although incredibly sexy, still—expression that consumed his features
moments ago.
“As much as I like it—well, ‘like’ is really putting it
lightly—I’m not going to let you do that anymore.”
He looks hurt and a little shocked. “Why not?”
“Because, Andrew, I…well, I just won’t let you—now come
here.” I cup my hands around the sides of his neck and pull him toward me.
And then I kiss him softly, letting my lips linger on his
afterwards.
“What are you doing?” he says, staring down into my eyes.
I smile sweetly up at him. “I’m getting into character.”
A grin tugs the corners of his lips. He turns me around
and locks his arm around my waist as we head toward Bourbon Street.
