Wild Child teaser

I have a love/hate relationship with teasers and excerpts.  For me, it is incredibly difficult to pick just one or two parts of books that I adore and expect them to do the story justice.  Do I do steamy?  Do I do funny?  Decisions, decisions.

For this teaser, I chose the heartfelt.  Why?  Because at the root of this story is so much heart.  There's pain and devastation, but there's also hope and happiness.  Eventually. LOL  With that said, I give you a teeny tiny peek at Rusty and Jenna's tumultuous love story.

2.  I know this because she keeps looking back, making sure I’m watching.  Teasing me.  I’d be willing to bet those ruffled little panties she’s wearing are damp.-- Wild Child by M. Leighton.  Oct 22, 2013

3.  I flick my tongue over her, just once, and I inhale. “God, I miss this.” I feel her shudder when I exhale warm, moist air on her.  --Wild Child by M. Leighton.  Oct 22, 2013

4.  Save a horse, ride a bull. Find out what it's all about in Wild Child by M. Leighton.  Oct 22, 2013

To share or not to share

That's NEVER a question for me. I'm a sharer.  Always.  To a fault.  I just want y'all to know that it is absolutely driving me insane not to be able to share stuff from my books.  Thus far in my career, I've always been able to share what I'm working on because I publish so quickly after finishing. But now...now I find that I can rarely, if ever do that anymore. I can't share my Berkley projects. I can't share the one I just finished because it's not time yet.  GAH!  It's. Driving. Me. Crazy.  More so now than ever!

*stops to take a deep breath and compose self*

Anyway, I just wanted y'all to know that I simply CANNOT WAIT to be able to share some graphics and excerpts and teasers, fun posts and swag with you, even if I might be even CRAZIER by the time I can.  *sigh*

Until then, HAPPY TUESDAY!

WILD CHILD- Cover Reveal and Blurb

It's been over a year since you met Trick and Cami.  Rusty and Jenna  have waited patiently to have their story told.  The time has come.  On October 22, see whether the wild best friends of Trick and Cami will get the happy ending they didn't even know they wanted.  Until they met each other.

Jenna Theopolis has always known what she wanted.  Getting out of her small hometown of Greenfield was number one on her list of priorities.  Until she met Rusty Catron.

Rusty’s fun-loving personality was the perfect match for Jenna’s inner wild child.  But what started off as a summer fling quickly turns into something more.  At least it does for Jenna.

Rusty has lived with the ghost of his father’s abandonment since he was a child, but now he’s beginning to feel the crippling effects of his scars.  He wants to trust in Jenna, but deep down he doesn’t believe someone so wild and free can ever be tamed. 

But tragedy strikes, pushing Jenna out of Greenfield and leaving Rusty with a choice to make—face his inner demons or lose the love of his life.  Forever.

Everything for Us- The Soundtrack

I know many of you are curious as to where the songs from the playlist fit in the story, and that listening as you read or think about the book enhances the experience. It certainly does for me!  LOL  So, with that in mind, I'm adding the playlist to my sidebar (in its entirety), as well as putting the YouTube videos in here for a few songs, along with a few non-spoilery sentences explaining how they fit into the story.  I hope you enjoy it and that it enriches the love story of Nash and Marissa for you:)

Bad for Me--  This song captures Marissa's struggle with knowing Nash is bad for her, but being unwilling (or unable?) to walk away.

Fast Car-- I feel like this is Nash's overall feeling toward Marissa in the first portion of the book.  As far as a scene goes, think of the library.  *wink*

Your Love is My Drug-- Marissa knows Nash is like a drug to her.  And Nash might just feel the same way.

I Touch Myself-- If you've read it, you know where this one comes in.  *wink*

Beneath Your Beautiful-- This song is perfect for the entire story.  Both Marissa and Nash are beautiful on the outside.  That's undeniable. What they hide is the ugly that they feel.  And what they want is to see the real beauty in the other, the beauty they each know is there in the other.

It's Been Awhile-- This song fits when Nash is thinking back to NOLA

The Broken Ones-- Because Marissa knows he's broken. And she is, too.

Disaster-- Marissa finds out Nash's secret and feels everything between them crumbling down around her.

Endlessly-- Because, he will.
