Blog Tour: Before We Fall by Jordan Marie

Amazon 

If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all.

That saying is as old as the hills in Tennessee, where I used to live.


And it’s definitely true.


I’m a bad luck magnet, at least when it comes to men.

Moving to Stone Lake was supposed to be a fresh start.

Here, I was going to build a life I could be proud of. Finally put down roots and live quietly.

Be safe and happy.


It didn’t quite work out that way, but I’m stubborn and I’m not about to give up.

Ben Kingston was the first man to handle me with care.

He gave me a glimpse of something I desperately wanted.

And then, tore it away from me with the carelessness of one whispered word.


I don’t need a man to complete me.

In fact, I’ve had enough of them.

I’m okay with being single the rest of my life.

I’ll be just fine with my handy friend B.O.B.


Except Ben keeps coming around, tempting me and a girl can only take so much.

Ben’s out to prove I can trust him. I don’t trust any man, not anymore.


But my resolve weakens when he touches me, slides his hand down and proves buying stock in batteries might not be a good life plan.

Welcome back to the world of Stone Lake.

Junie and Ben have a bumpy start for sure, but when trouble comes knocking on Junie’s door, will she let Sheriff Kingston prove he won’t let her down again?

Complete Standalone Romance

“That was a mistake,” I tell him. “I’m just not ready to have a man in my life,” I sternly express to him, and I have to wonder if he can hear the panic edged at the back of my voice.

“You’re a woman who screams sex, Junie. Do you really think you can go through life without enjoying that in your life?”

“I scream sex?” I repeat, feeling like I just swallowed my tongue.

“Oh, yeah, more than anyone I have ever met.”

“You’re wrong,” I deny.

“It’s been a year, Junie, but I haven’t forgotten a moment of our time together.”

“That was a lifetime ago. I’m a different person now. I have a new life plan.”

“A life plan?”

“Yeah. I just decided on it tonight,” I tell him and that’s not a lie. I decided on it right this minute, and I’m going to stick to it.

“What is this life plan, Junie?” he asks, and his dark eyes hold a humor in them that I shouldn’t like, but I do—even if they are freaking me out.

“I’m buying stock in batteries.”

“Batteries?”

“Definitely. The only man I can handle in my life is Bob.”

“Bob.” For a minute he looks confused and then he starts laughing. His laughter warms me, chasing away the last remnants of the fear I felt earlier.

“Oh, Junie. You’re in trouble now.”

“I am?”

“Definitely,” he says, but he gets up and starts walking to the door. I follow him like I’m in a trance.

“Why am I in trouble, Sheriff?”

“Because I always did like a challenge, and now, I’m going to feel compelled to remind you that your vibrator can’t compare to what I can do to your body.” He opens the door and casts me one last glance. “Make sure you lock this door, Baby. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Freebie book

Where We Began

There are moments in life when a good thing comes along at the wrong time.

Juniper Sellers definitely fits that description.

I’m not ready for her, but damn do I want her.

She’s a beautiful bird with a broken wing and that spells nothing but trouble.

I’m not strong enough to walk away. I should, because I’m as broken as her.


She’s fire and sass.

I’m a moth drawn to her flame.


It’s a toss up which one of us will get burned first.


This novella is a prequel story to Before We Fall. No prior books needs to be read to understand this story.

Complete Standalone Romance

“I heard you bought this place. I guess that means you’re sticking around,” Ben says, once he shuts his bike down.

“I guess that’s what it means,” I respond, keeping any hurt or anger I might still feel out of my voice.

Never show weakness to those that hurt you, I can’t forget that rule.

“You’ve been dodging my calls, Junie.”

I look at Ben, his eyes hid from me by his sunglasses. I hate that he still looks so good. There should be a law that when a man hurts you he should turn ugly as a mud fence overnight.

“No, I haven’t.”

“I’ve been calling you and you haven’t been answering,” he says, his arms crossed at his chest as he leans back on his bike.

“I know. But I haven’t been answering them, because I don’t have anything to say.”

“I’ve been trying to apologize, but every time I see you out, you disappear before I can talk to you.”

“Merely a coincidence,” I respond with a shrug.

“And the not answering my phone calls?”

“Sheriff, I appreciate the gesture and the messages, but honestly, we don’t have anything to say to one another.”

“Junie—”

“June. My family call me Junie, Sheriff. You and I are just… acquaintances.”

“Damn it, I know I fucked up, but if you would just let me explain—”

“There’s nothing to explain. You and I are both broken. I just didn’t realize yours. You were trying to force yourself to heal with me, when the woman you really wanted was out of reach and I was just using you to try and not feel at all.”

“Is that the way you want to play this, Juniper?”

“I’m not playing anything, Sheriff. I’m just stating the facts.”

I loved a boy.




Gavin Lodge.




He was sweet, gentle, kind and he made me feel alive.




Letting him go was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life.




A hundred times I wished I had done things differently.




A thousand times I wished I had gone with him.




A million times I wished he had chosen me.




I didn’t. Neither did he.




Now he’s back.




No longer a boy, but a man.




I can’t love him.




It almost destroyed me once and I won’t let that happen again.




That should be the end of it.




And maybe it would have been…




If someone wasn’t trying to kill me…

“Luna, I didn’t know. I swear to you, I. Did. Not. Know.

“How is that even possible, Gavin? Your signature was on those papers. My father told me what you said—”

“Whatever your father told you was a lie. I had no idea, Luna. You have to believe me, if I did, I would have been back here by your side in a heartbeat.”

“I don’t have to believe you. We’re not back in high school, Gavin. I’m not longer the young, naïve girl blinded by her first crush—”

“You loved me Luna. There was no fucking crush. At least admit to that. We loved each other.”

“We were young and stupid.”

“And we loved each other,” he says and for some reason it feels like those words are a physical hit, my body even jolts in reaction.

Gavin


I can see her standing there. I’m maybe ten yards in front of her, but it might as well be a million miles.

Luna Marshall.

The woman that has haunted me for years. The woman I left behind to start over. I’m sure she hated me back then. Hell, even now, thirteen years later, she probably still hates me. I can’t blame her. I hate myself for leaving her.

I don’t want to, but I take a step toward her.

And then another.

It actually becomes automatic, my body moving without me telling it to. Of course, whenever I got near Luna, gravity seemed to pull me to her. That apparently hasn’t changed through the years.

She’s maybe ten feet in front of me now, and I can see her so clearly that it’s a little painful.

Luna hasn’t changed much over the years. Her body has filled out more, matured, rounded from girl to woman. Her golden blonde hair is shorter, falling just to her shoulders. Some things always remain the same though. Even over the crowd, I can hear her voice. It’s as soft and sweet as I’ve always remembered.

“Gavin Lodge! Is that you?”

I see the exact moment that Luna hears my name. She looks up and it’s all written there on her face.

Shock.

Fear.

Anger.

Hurt.

Thirteen years and still every bit of that is written on her face. Thirteen years is not enough to make her forget.

To make either one of us forget.

“That’s me, Wally. How in the hell are you?” I ask, pulling my gaze from Luna to look at the man I once considered my best friend.

“Doing good,” he says, stepping back and his arm loosely goes around Luna. Her body language reads stiff, but after a moment she relaxes. “Just had my second child,” he says.

That feels like a fucking sucker punch. Wally and Luna? I never saw that coming. I would have never guessed it and it feels bitter in my gut.

“Luna, how are you?” I ask.

I’ve been alternately dreading this moment and looking forward to it. I’ve definitely been dreaming about it, but those dreams have turned into nightmares on more than one occasion.

“Gavin. We heard you were coming back into town.”

“Yeah. I go where the case takes me,” I tell her and it’s not a lie, I do. I just never planned on it bringing me full circle—never planned on it bringing me to Luna’s doorstep.

“It’s still hard to believe you’re an FBI man,” Wally laughs.

“Been one for a lot of years,” I tell him. “I hate like hell that I have to be in Stone Lake for work, though.”

That’s the truth.

The God’s honest truth.

“I heard that. I hope you manage to get them, before they strike again.”

I say nothing. There’s not much to say to that. Everyone knows why I’m here. This serial killer has garnered national attention for months. He’s created havoc in three states and we still haven’t caught him. I never dreamed he’d end up in Stone Lake, but then I’ve never had the best of luck.

“You’re looking good, Luna,” I tell her. It’s a stupid thing to say, but I can’t not say it.

Her body jolts. I see it before she takes a second to lock it down.

“I’ll see you around, Wally,” she says not bothering to reply to me. “Tell Meghan to call me.”

“Will do, honey. See you tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow,” she says. Then, she surprises me by turning around to look at me. “Goodbye, Gavin.”

She walks away like that, with her head held high and I let her go, because I fucking lost the right to ask her to stay thirteen years ago… when I was the one to walk away.

“You two aren’t married?” I ask Wally, because that’s the one thing my brain latches onto during their exchange.

“What? Oh hell. Not at all. Luna would get a kick out of you saying that though. Her and my Meghan are close though.”

“Meghan?”

“My wife, you probably don’t remember her. She went to school with us, but didn’t hang around with the same crowd. Her and Luna have grown close, especially since our kids are in school together.”

The hits just keep coming. This one harder, more intense, and the burn nearly cripples me.

Luna has a child.

I knew it would be a possibility, but I didn’t want it. Years of experience keeps my voice steady and my face void of any reaction.

“Luna has a kid now. Hard to believe,” I rub my face, wishing I didn’t know. That will be another small piece of knowledge that will haunt me long after I leave Stone Lake in the dust.

“Yeah, Josh is a good kid, too. Luna and Attie did good.”

“Attie?” I ask, the name squeezing something inside of me that I thought was frozen a long time ago.

“Yeah. Fuck. You don’t know, do you?”

“Know what?”

“Attie… Shit, man.”

My brother. Atticus. Luna and my brother. I thought the other blows were bad, but this one is harder than all of those combined and they don’t hit me…

They rip through me.

“I didn’t know,” I tell Wally and I don’t think I keep emotion out of my voice this time. I can’t.

“Her and Atticus were living together when he died. I can’t believe you didn’t know,” Wally says, not realizing he just lodged the punch that has enough power to bring me to my knees.

“You remember my brother and I didn’t get along. I didn’t bother to stay in touch with him once I left,” I tell him, leaving it at that.

“That’s tough, man. I guess I just assumed that changed with age. Though, I knew you didn’t come to Atticus’s funeral, but we all heard how you were in the hospital. They said you almost died.”

“Over exaggeration,” I answer, completely lying. I touch the scar on my side—the one that almost killed me. The one that I was glad was there, if only because it gave me an excuse to stay away from Stone Lake back then. It’s also the one delivered by the very serial killer I’m here to catch. Life, it seems, is big on irony.

“I better get, Wally. I need to report to the local police department in the morning and introduce myself. Then, I need to start hunting this asshole and see where the clues take me.”

“Yeah. Uh… Gavin, there’s something you might should know, man.”

“What’s that?”

“Luna Marshall is the Mayor of Stone Lake,” he says.

The hits just keep coming…

I should have known. I read briefly through the file and there were press clippings released by the local mayor. For some reason, Mayor Marshall and Luna Marshall didn’t click together.

This is not good news. I don’t deal well with bureaucracy and I knew just reading through the file I’d be expected to work with the Mayor closely.

My plan had been to avoid Luna while I was here.

So much for planning….
