Enter to win a signed copy of the USA Today Bestseller, SCANDALOUS by H.M. Ward

DESCRIPTION: “I see it, Jack. Your muse is back. The thing that gave you passion, tormented you, and haunted you is back. You’re reeling in ecstasy and dread. It’s something you want, but can’t ever have. And the one that brings the pain is pure, white as snow… and standing in front of you.”

One kiss could have changed Abby’s life, but when it didn’t happen, she ran. Jack was everything to her and when he didn’t respond, Abby couldn’t bear it. Everything about that night–leaning in close to his face, feeling the night breeze teasing her hair, the way his scent filled her head–was burned vividly into her mind, including the moment when Jack pulled away. There was no kiss. Abby was wrong. She was wrong about him, wrong about them.

Maybe she didn’t have to go to college two thousand miles away, but she did. She had to forget about him. Abby threw herself off the grid, disappearing completely from the life she knew. After completing her undergraduate degree, she enrolled in seminary. All contact with her old life was severed and she never looked back, until she was forced to.

When Abby puts idealism into practice, her congregation throws her out. If she can survive a year on her own, they’ll take her back, and continue to pay off her student loans–but if she fails, Abby is on her own with enough debt to fund a small town. Seminary wasn’t cheap. With no place left to go, Abby returns to New York and her best friend takes her in.

Desperate to make it on her own and prove she was right, Abby follows a job lead to an art studio on Long Island. It isn’t until she hears Jack’s voice that she freezes. The hairs on the back of her neck prickle as she turns to see Jack, ten years later, looking even more tempting than before.

Fate is cruel. Abby left this life behind, but she’s thrown back into it, head first. It’s like someone hit rewind on her life and its ten years earlier. She’s the cotton-mouthed girl that she always was around Jack, and now her future relies on the man who rejected her.

SCANDALOUS 2 is scheduled for release February 1, 2013! Enter below!

I have to tell you that SECRETS now gets more fan mail than DEMON KISSED, which is nuts. Every day I open my email and there are letters there begging for more of Cole and Anna. The Amazon sales rank is in the top 3,000 out of 1.8 million titles, which blows me away. It’s quickly become one of my bestselling titles.

This surprises me, because there’s little movement in the reviews. Usually a hot book stacks up reviews faster, but SECRETS looks like the lonely loser at the review table. Why does it matter? I use the reviews to judge how committed fans are to a series and to judge which book should be written next. At the rate the reviews are pouring in, VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE #3 should totally be the next book I write, but for some reason I’m writing SECRETS 4. The reason is you guys. You’ve totally blown me away with the fan mail, so I’m going to offer up a little carrot to get all you shy SECRETS fans to come out and play.

If SECRETS Vol 1 hits 20 reviews on Amazon before the release date for SECRETS Vol 4, I’ll DISCOUNT SECRETS Vol 4 to 99 CENTS for release day! Eeeep! Shut up! Yeah, I will. A bunch of you already wrote something that could be used for your review. Cut and paste your email/ twitter/ facebook message and post that.

And to sweeten the deal, if there are 25 reviews, I’ll post SECRETS Vol 4 early! Double boo yah! Read it! Go do it! Join the rabid fans who already love this series.
