Now, onto the reveal, blurb, and hook!! (I beg lenience this week as a special week, I’m going a small bit over my usual limit of 7-10 lines).
In book 1 we met Mike, Clara Young’s brother, who quickly became a part of Jane’s life as she still felt an attachment to the brother she couldn’t remember.
In Derailed, an, um, issue arises and he decides to deal with Cole:
A splinter of wood drove into his arm, but he ignored it in favor of delivering a solid kick to Cole’s kidneys. His arms were grabbed, and he was dragged back, but he wasn’t finished. Pure venom shot out of his throat. “You aren’t a man. You never were.”
Cole was held back by Graham and a soldier, fighting against their grip with a deep growl. “She never had any complaints. Kept comin’ back for more.”
“Stay the hell away from her.”
“Mike.” David’s voice strained as he fought to keep a hold of him.
“She’ll be back. She won’t be able to help herself.” Cole fought an arm free only to have it grabbed again. “Just tell her to stay away, see how she takes it.”
With renewed fury, Mike fought against David and Archie, trying to get free. “Bastard. You don’t deserve her. You didn’t deserve—”
“Michael.” Daisy’s shriek stilled both men for the briefest moment.

BLURB:
The sins of a past she can’t remember could destroy a present she’ll never forget.
The crimes of her forgotten past threaten the very life Jane Doe has learned to cherish.
Jane is out of time. With a warrant on her head, a maniac out for her blood, and a secret baby on the way, something has to give.
Without Cole Mitchell’s help to find the answers, there may be no hope left.
Cole has nowhere left to hide. He unwittingly let Jane into his heart, and is ready to share the secret of his dark past.
Fate has a way of playing its hand, and tragedy strikes. With the world crumbling around them, it’s easy to lose faith. If they can’t forgive past sins, they have no hope for the future.
Because the noose waits for no man or woman.

I love Derailed’s cover! I cannot wait until next month for the release! Perfect timing as I will still be on vacation, too!
Thanks so much, Angela!! I hope you enjoy Derailed as much as I enjoyed editing it…and that at the end you’re still yelling for more 😉
Great hook, well done!
Thanks, Lucy!!
So much passion! Loved it! Congrats too x
Thanks, Kerrianne!! I absolutely enjoyed the dynamics between the characters in this book–so much is happening that relationships evolve even more and Jane learns some valuable lessons in this book! This scene is one of my favorites as its a highly emotionally impactful moment 😉 (You know, Evil Author and all :P)
Awesome cover! And, brilliant hook. I loved the conflict and depth to the conflict between the men in it. Well done, Sarah!
Thanks so much, Ellen! As the middle book in the series I thought this one might be boring…but it really sprang to life during edits…and I love Cole & Mike through it…at times at odds, but banding together when it counts. Jane is a lucky woman to have such great men in her life.
Sounds like a ‘must-read’ for the summer! Excellent post!
Thanks, Molly!! I love being on anyone’s “Must read” list 😀
Great cover!! And it sounds like a really good read:)
Thanks, Nicole!! I’m very happy with the cover myself 🙂 It took me a long time to find the right gallows for it.
What a great post! A fascinating little snippet, a new cover, and a giveaway! That’s a tough act to follow . Well done.
Thank you so much, Christina!! I’ve been looking forward to this day for weeks!! I’m so terrible at keeping secrets. lol!
Oh, I don’t like Cole at all. Nice cover and hook! 🙂
There’s a lot more to this story, Jessica. Don’t jump to conclusions…Cole has many redeeming qualities in the end…but he’s also a man with a reputation to maintain 😉
Think I should have finished reading Changing Tracks before I read this.
That Cole.. I have yet to decide if I love him or hate him but you can probably guess which way I am leaning…
Fantastic storyline – really good mix of erotica and mystery..
Congrats…xx
Cole is fantastically flawed…and hard to love sometimes…but then he turns around and does something that just makes you love him again and see that he’s more than he wants people to see. In book 2, you get a good explanation for why he is the way he is…at least partially.
Yes, I adore my flawed characters. 🙂 Just always look for the hidden depths…they have them 🙂
Oh wow! Great cover and great snippet … makes me want more!
Thank you Alisha!! Welcome to my blog 🙂
Wow, nice hook and cover! 🙂
Thanks, Sandra!!
Great cover, and hook.
Hm, two men fighting over one woman? Yes, please! Great hook. And congrats on the release! I definitely want to read more about Cole and Jane.
Great hook AND cover! You’re awesome.
That is a thrilling excerpt, I’m hooked!
you did a great job on the cover! And I’m totally pumped to read this in the next few weeks!
Love the cover and can wait to read it
