United (Because of Him #2)

Here's  the gorgeous cover for United, the 2nd book in The Guardians series. The cover was created by the crazy awesome L.J. Anderson at Mayhem Cover Creations. More details for United below

Gable is desperate to find the prison. . . All Fortune wants is to escape it.

Pablo is dead and Gable now knows the truth about Sacha's disappearance. She will do whatever it takes to find him and bring him home, even if that means partnering up with those she despises the most – the Guardians.

It's been almost two years since Fortune was captured and locked away in his underground prison cell to be tested on by Pablo and his people. He remains positive that he will one day escape, but his cellmate, Sacha, is slowly losing hope.

While Fortune fights a war inside the prison to keep his friend sane, Gable will battle outside to find them.

The Guardians, the Outcasts and Gable will all join as one to find the missing Outcasts, will fight as one to keep them safe, and will do anything it takes to bring them home. Together, they will be united.  

More details about the release date coming soon

Inspiration for Something Real

I wasn't actually planning on doing a story for Jemma, but I really liked the idea of having somebody else describe a scene about Blair and Silver, just a small moment in time. That was the bar scene, where Jemma is sitting with Reid and Silver walks in and he and Blair embrace. Originally it just would have been a little something extra to post on my website, and I kind of liked the idea of Jemma sitting with a guy who was her opposite, and maybe realizing that differences aren't so bad. It snowballed from there, until Jemma ended up with her own little story.

Something Real Playlist

As I usually do, I created a playlist for Something Real as I was writing it. Songs that inspired me as I wrote or songs that I found really fit the story or the characters well. I included it at the end of the story, but here's a more detailed version in case any of you guys were curious as to why I picked those songs -

Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson

This one is Jemma's song. Not for the words, but just because I like the sound. It's bouncy and light and fun – which is all Jemma.

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by The Offspring

This one is Reid's sound. Once again not for the words, but I just like the sound of the song in general. It's kind of punkish (is that even a word?) and bad ass. Totally Reid

What Would Happen by Meredith Brooks

What would happen if we kissed? I mean, no explanation needed here really.

We by Joy Williams

I like this song for both Reid and Jemma. I think it fits them pretty well.

Ghost by Sir Sly

This one I mentioned in the story twice; once when Jemma and Reid almost kissed, and again at the bar when dancing. I just liked the sound of this song – it's slowish and sexy and so it fit the scenes well

Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran

Even though I didn't write any scenes from Reid's POV (though who knows in the future), I thought that this song kind of fit perfectly with how he would have been feeling after their fight and they stopped talking.

Show Me by Evans Blue

Another one for Reid after Jemma rejected him.

Big Girls Cry by Sia

Jemma and her Twinkies.

What Scares You Most by Manic Bloom

This is the song for Jemma as she changes and grows as a person. Not her usual style, but I still think it kind of fit the story

Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard

Naughty naughty sexy times with Jemma and Reid ;)

Sons & Daughters by Allman Brown Ft. Liz Lawrence

Jemma and Reid are finally together

Somebody Like You by Keith Urban

The end. I just like this song – it's so cheery!
