Synopsis: He calms me.
An unexpected long-distance friendship showed Gracelyn Dewey the ease of some relationships. Very few people could get past her walls and even then, fewer had the ability to see through her anxieties. With him, she finds more—but circumstances wouldn’t allow them to keep it. Instead, they find an easy friendship with one another. Until it wasn’t easy any more. She grounds me. In his line of work, Sawyer Meadows sees some gut wrenching things. He sees broken people, wounded people, fearful people. He loves his job, yet is losing a piece of himself in the mix. But there was always her. Drawn to her quiet smile, he has always known she was meant to be something special to him. A fact that became painfully evident when she found someone else to hold her. Somewhere along the way, we lost it. They are given one weekend together to fix their friendship. The days can’t go off without any hitches though. When her recent past and his career collide, they’ll have to decide—is the distance enough to keep them apart? Or are they through letting everything else dictate their happiness? She’s my saving grace, and I plan on saving her in the process. goodreads-badge-add-38px

ABOUT CINDY SKAGGS

Cindy grew up on stories of mob bosses, horse thieves, cold-blooded killers, and the last honest man. Most of those stories were even true. She has ten siblings, some of whom are older than her mother, has nieces and nephews older than her, and once went to a horse auction with John Wayne. Well, with him in the sense that he was there, and she was also… there. She was the munchkin in line for his autograph with tangled hair and bruised knees that liked to dance on her daddy’s dusty cowboy boots and listen to his tall tales. With her love of storytelling and heroes, it’s no wonder she turned to books and stories after her father died. She skipped most of the eighth grade to bury herself in books while hidden in her closet, because she was still looking for the perfect story and the last honest man. Her search took her around the world with the Air Force as well as around the world with her education. She’s visited more countries than she can remember, nearly every state in the U.S., and has more degrees than the Tin Man. As a single mom, she’s still gambling, betting on herself for the first time in her life, turning her lifelong love of storytelling into the one thing she can’t live without: writing. She writes 10,000 words a week in cafes and coffee shops, and some of those 10,000 words are even worth reading. She has an MA in Creative Writing, is working towards her Master of Fine Arts, and has three jobs, two kids, a Pushcart Nomination, more pets than she can possibly handle, and more works in progress than the crew filling potholes after a long Colorado winter.

Excerpt
I grab a beer from the counter in the kitchen and head out the back door. Night had drawn in despite the long sunny day. I take a seat next to a few guys from my psychology class who are sitting on the decking. From this position, I have the perfect view of the two main rooms of the house. And a perfect fucking view of Lily dancing with some stranger. 
I stand abruptly. “Hey, watch it, Jake.” I look down and realise I’ve tipped beer all over… this kid’s lap.
“Sorry, my bad.” 
I sit back down and wrestle the possessive fire bolt that just struck in my chest. I have no fucking right to be jealous. I could have Lily if I want. I know she still has feelings for me. She tries to hide it, but every time those big tempting eyes look at me, I can see what she’s keeping quiet about. She’s never told me how she feels, never spoken about it with her friends, from what I can tell. 
It’s been our mutually kept little secret. All the way through school.
Until this fucking minute, as I see this guy pull her in closer and whisper in her ear. Her innocence is screaming at him. I bet he can even smell it on her. That fresh flowers in spring scent that never seems to leave her. Another thing that drives me fucking crazy. 
The guy seems to have a couple of friends with him. None of them I recognise.  
“Hey, anyone know who those three stooges are?”
“No, they aren’t from St. George’s.” 
I settle in and watch. The shadows shroud me in darkness and keep me hidden. I must be a masochist because it’s fucking misery. Lily is sweet, kind and laughing like she doesn’t have a care in the world. She’s breathtaking. 
She stops with the dancing and pulls out her phone. I look at my watch and notice the time. Midnight is her usual pick up time. The guy follows her as she and Charlotte leave the dancing. I can see them in the hall through the next window along, and I don’t think twice about getting up to see just what this guy’s intentions are.
My view into the room is obscured, but there is no missing the kiss he gives Lily. The fucking kiss I’d always wanted to give her. I smash my bottle on the floor as the rage inside gets the better of me. I ignore every pair of eyes that are now on me and march right back into the room. 
Prince-fucking-charming comes back into the room with a shit eating grin on his face. 
“You! Don’t you ever fucking hurt her, you got me? If you do, I’ll make your life a fucking misery and be happy to do it.” My hands grip around his shirt collar as I spit the warning at him.
Several pairs of hands try to separate us, but they have no fucking chance. 
“Relax, man. I’m not going to mess with her.” He has an inch or so on me in height, but I more than make up for it with brawn. “What’s she to you? You her brother?”
“No. Just watch yourself. She’s too fucking good for you.” My heart stampedes in my chest as I lay down my warning. I release him and leave the room. I’m pumped and ready to rip someone apart. Everything is heightened, and I need to get out before I do something fucking stupid. I turn and realise everyone is staring at me. It’s eerily quiet as the music has suddenly been turned off. 
I do the usual and ignore everyone and leave through the back, out into the garden and around the side of the house. God, I’m a bastard.

This week we are hosting C.A. Harms 2016 Yearbook! Revisiting all the novels that she published this year. Day 2 we take a look back at Desired Affliction Series (Toxic, Conquer, Risk, and Sinful) and a look at Deceitful Choices...
Title: Deceitful Choices
Contemporary Standalone
Some lies you just can’t come back from. 
The damage is too deep. 
The effects are too strong, and the path they lead you on can be devastating. 
One lie only led to another as Lindsay tried to be someone she wasn’t. She wanted just one moment to pretend she didn’t live the life she had been cursed with. 
She wanted to live without regret. 
Live for the moment. 
She wanted to laugh and smile without feeling as if at any moment something or someone would corrupt that happiness. But all lies have a way of resurfacing. Those deceitful words can come back to haunt you, leaving you as the one heartbroken and alone. 
Zack had taken a trip with a fellow Navy SEAL. Just a weekend away to regroup. Never had he intended to find the girl who would jumpstart his heart. 
Only then to destroy it. 
But the shattered pieces of his trust weren’t the only things he left behind when he walked away from Lindsay. There was now an innocent life that had been thrown in to the mix. 
But Lindsay wasn’t the only one who lied... 
The odds were stacked against them. There was someone doing everything they could to keep them apart. 
But when the truth is told, and those secrets are revealed, they must decide if they have what it takes… 
To survive the deceit.
Title: Toxic
Series: Desired Affliction Series #1
How can one night change the rest of your life? 
A choice you can never take back. 
Lexi Warren was lost in a world of darkness. A spiraling whirlwind of hate and destruction. When she made a huge mistake. All because of one moment in time, and one bad decision…nothing would ever be the same. 
Until he reappeared… 
Kole Hartman was a piece of her past that she had always treasured. A time before everything went dark. Before everything no longer made sense. He was also a reminder of the things she needed to forget, and holding on to those memories was toxic. 
Only he refused to let her walk away.
Title: Conquer
Series: Desired Affliction Series #2
*Second edition previously titled Desired Affliction book #2* 
They’ve struggled and they’ve fallen. They’ve loved and they’ve hated. But they’ve done it together. Because nothing could keep them apart… Kole found Lexi when she was at her worst. He was the one person who could have destroyed her. Only he had other ideas. 
The chemistry they shared was something that couldn’t be ignored. It had the ability to conquer all the demons that still hid within Lexi’s mind. But it was up to Kole to show her she was worth the fight, and Lexi needed someone to fight for her…
Title: Risk
Series: Desired Affliction Series #3
*Second edition previously titled Desired Affliction book #3* 

A fresh start in a new place—that was what Natalie hoped for when she moved to Chapel Hill and enrolled in UNC. 
Leaving behind the pitied looks and dirty feelings her old hometown gave her. She had to let it all go... 
When she joined a support group at a community center just off campus, she never would have guessed she’d be setting forth on a path that would forever change her future. 
Friendship and love were two things she thought she’d never experience at the same time. 
Adam was rough around the edges. A bad boy, and a heartbreaker in the worst possible way. 
Or was he? 
Natalie found something in Adam that she couldn’t help but fall for. He drove her crazy, and made her angry, but he also loved her like no one else ever had. Two people with tainted pasts in search of a foundation that could make them feel whole again. 
Risking it all for a chance at love…
Title: Sinful
Series: Desired Affliction Series #4
Clarity…

That’s exactly what Charlotte was for Brock Nelson. He was the ultimate playboy, taking all the risks and living the life without pausing to see the destruction he was causing.
But Charlotte didn’t fall for his sinful grin, and she surely didn’t fall at his feet like all the other women in Brock’s past.
She challenged him.
Living with a past that haunted her daily, she made a choice...to never be weak again.
Brock had no idea what hit him when she walked into his life. And the chance of him remaining the same cocky, arrogant guy he was prior to Charlotte’s impact was impossible.
They were electrifying together. They were Sinful…
But will they have what it takes to make it through the hardest of times? Or will they default back to old ways?
C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn't always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.
Thank you for stopping by today for Deceitful Choices and Desired Affliction Series! Come back tomorrow for Day 3 where we Clash and The Phoenix Undercover Series....
