Deep Down by Brenda Rothert

Deep Down 
by Brenda Rothert

I’m falling. 
Faster.
Further.
Deeper. 


Sometimes you fall so hard you can’t get back up. My closest companions now are shame and loss. But a sliver of hope lies in the only person I have left in this world – the one who’s growing inside me. 


Survival becomes living again because of my child, and the town where I begin anew. 


That’s where I meet the man who starts to melt the ice inside my heart. 

As we get closer, reminders of my past become sharper. Clearer. To confront the pain, I have to discover what’s deep down inside me. Is there enough left there to become whole again, or am I too wounded to heal?

**Warning** This book has mature content that some readers may find troubling. It is intended for readers 18 and up.

It happened without warning on a quiet, snowy January day. Or maybe there had been signs that I’d ignored because they were too painful to acknowledge. Either way, the course of my life was changed that day. After it was over I just remember watching the snowflakes through my open bedroom window. Falling silently from the sky, they were the closing curtain on eighteen years of trusting that all people were inherently good. 

----------------------- 

It was the first day back from the winter break and I was wrapped up in the excitement that filled the hallways of Lexington High School. There was an unspoken energy circulating around those of us who were seniors. 

Home stretch, baby. The last semester of high school is underway. Your future starts now. 

And, for me, this new term couldn’t end soon enough. My mom’s death this past September had plunged me into a deep sadness I still hadn’t fully emerged from. Over the course of the past four months I’d gotten good at plastering on a phony smile to let everyone know I’d moved on. Putting this school year behind me would be more sweet than bitter. Sure, I had great friends I’d miss when I went off to college in the fall. And dance team…for sure I would miss that. Most of all, I would miss my boyfriend Levi, but somehow I knew that once high school was over I really would be able to move on. 

A warm, familiar arm wrapping around my waist from behind made me break out in a genuine grin. 

“How was your day, baby?” Levi asked, pulling me against his side as we walked down the hall. 

“Good. You?” 

He shrugged. “Everybody’s talking about graduation. It hasn’t seemed close until now.” 

“Did you get those scholarship essays done?” 

“Yep.” He pulled me a little closer, steering me away from a cluster of loud underclassmen who were about to run me over. 

“Am I riding with you today? I can catch a ride home with Sami if you’re lifting weights after school.” 

He leaned down and kissed my temple. “The only weight I’m interested in right now is yours on top of me.” 

I held back a smile. Our after school make out sessions were one of Levi’s favorite things. But between the time off his parents and my dad had taken off over the holiday break, we hadn’t gotten much time alone.

This book was amazing. Such a powerful and moving story about a girl who faces the worst of nightmares but comes out a stronger and better person in the end.

Ivy is just trying to get through her senior year. She has so much to look forward to, but with the death of her mom the summer before, it's been difficult. Luckily she has a boyfriend who is patient and is looking forward to starting her life at Stanford in the fall. Things are starting to fall into place. Her father, a local sheriff, is not taking the death of his wife well. Ivy is just trying to get through this year, taking care of her dad and maintaining as normal of a life as possible.

Then the unthinkable happens...its a nightmare within a nightmare and Ivy finds herself not being about to trust anyone around her. That is except April...one of her teachers that takes her in and helps her get through the rest of her year.

As graduation comes and goes, Ivy finds herself running from her old life and ends up in the small town of Lovely, Missouri. This is just the type of town where she can start new and hopefully forget about the terror of this past year.

Fast forward 3 years later.  Ivy has made a place for herself and her now three year old son. She keeps to herself, not letting anyone in except for Margie and Gene, the people who own the little diner that she works in.

That is until Reed Lockhart walks into the diner one day and everything starts to change. She feels a pull to him, but she knows that she can't let anyone in. No one can know her secret about why she is here and about her son Noah.

Reed grew up in Lovely and after 5 years away, he's back to work with his father's law firm. Reed is not without rumors himself. Having been left at the alter 5 years earlier, he knows what its like to be the subject of the rumor mills of the small town.

Reed is immediately taken with Ivy, but the she keeps telling him no when he asks her out.
He has to win her over. He knows that she was made for him.

Ivy's journey to peace is an incredible journey of love and forgiveness and strength to stand up to the toughest of nightmares.

Reed and his band of brothers will keep you smiling and swooning.

Such an incredible read and can't wait for more in this series.

Excerpt

Her hand roams over his chest again then starts down his abs. His eyes slide closed as she travels lower and lower. Shit, it's been too long. He's already hard from the innocent touch.

Melina gets to the waistband of his jeans and he feels her hand brush the very top of his thigh, then her bare hand makes contact with his bare stomach. Vance hisses at the same time Melina makes a pleased noise low in her throat. Her hand slowly makes its way over each ripple of his abs to his chest, where her fingers brush over his nipple. Vance sucks in a sharp breath and looks down at her. She has a sexy little grin on her face as she watches his reactions to her touching him.

The look in her eyes is that of a woman who finds something that she wants and is going to have it. 


Hi! My name is M.D. Saperstein. I am currently a stay at home mom with my two gorgeous kids. I wasn't always a full time mom, though. After graduating from the University of Florida - Go Gators! - I attended law school at Stetson University. I spent the next 10 years practicing law. I also spent some time counseling mental health patients in an out patient psychiatric hospital. But, until having my own children, my most rewarding job by far was licensing families to receive abused and neglected foster children. 

So, that brings us to today. In my spare time, while my children were napping, I started editing novels for other authors. The more I edited, the more ready I felt to write my own. I just needed a new and exciting story line. Once Hey There, Delilah was conceived, the ball starting rolling very quickly. I hooked up with fellow author Andria Large, and we decided to tackle it together. Best decision ever! 

I spend most of my free time with my husband and children. But when I get some "me" time, I love to read. Mostly romance and erotica, but I don't discriminate - a good book is a good book, no matter the genre.

The Keith Milano Memorial Fund


Not only as a reader, but as a friend, I am happy to help support the Keith Milano Memorial Fund along with an amazing group of authors have agreed to donate a portion of their May 2015 books sales to the Keith Milano Memorial Fund at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

Like many families - mine has not gone unaffected. I met my husband after his attempt. Below is a message from him about the struggles he has faced.

William Styron, the author best known for “Sophie’s Choice”, was also an essayist who wrote a story in 1989 for Vanity Fair which eventually expanded into his memoir, “Darkness Visible.”  Styron took his private battle with depression and revealed to the public, the pain and suffering he went through which nearly led him to end it with suicide.  

In his words, “the pain of severe depression is quite unimaginable to those who have not suffered it, and it kills in many instances because its anguish can no longer be bourne. 

Anyone that has ever found themselves mired in the pit of depression will find themselves relating to Styron’s story of grief and tormentThere is a particular word that Styron uses quite frequently in "Darkness Visible", and it resonated with me:  

Despair. 

Despair is the complete loss or absence of hopeLike many people, I've been there. Frustration, heartache and desperation can be completely overwhelming. When it all hits you, hope is the last thing on your mind. While many have bottomed out like the proverbial country song at one point or another in their life,  they have eventually recovered. But there are some like myself that have hit such depths of pity and self-loathing that, in their hearts and minds, the only solution was the final one. 

Back in July of 1995, that's where I was. The complete details of how I ended up in such a precarious situation actually goes back a few years and involves a complex thread of players and storylines. It's also something that, for the most part, I have shared with a few friends.  Details aside, I found myself sinking into to such a state of sadness and loneliness that I tried to end my life.  

I didn’t immediately give up on myself.  hung in there. I tried to “get over it”. I spoke with friends. I tried to get help. There were times that I would see a glimmer of hope, but the depression would extinguish it. Friends eventually grew tired of the drama, and rightly so. Depression can be a difficult situation for some to try and help with, even those with the most compassionate hearts can come up empty when trying to get involved.  At that point, tried and I failed. I was done. I was beaten. 

There is a bit of irony in the fact that I followed up my string of failures with another failure. In some respect, this “failure” was probably the best outcome I could have had.  July 7th, 1995 after hours of crying and begging for help. I broke down. I didn’t snap, I just gave up. 

It’s been 20 some years but still remember the sequence of events. What still stands out to me is how quickly I realized my mistake. There are stories of folks that somehow survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge with the same intentions that I had (my attempt wasn’t as drastic) who also had the same change of heart. Despite some of our best efforts, self-preservation may just be our “default settings” no matter how hard we try to override it.  

In my case, the method I used gave me enough time to seek medical attention. I was hospitalized overnight. The questions came pouring in from the family and the medical staff. The one word that kept coming up was, “Why?” I don’t know that I’ll ever have a good answer. My attempt at escaping the despair that tore at my heart opened up a Pandora’s Box of emotions and yet I still to this day wonder how I let it get this far. 

I'd like to say that after that attempt I realized the error of my ways. The problem is, depression is tricky. It sneaks up on you, even when you think  you've got it beat, you will stumble.   It will get you if you go it alone. I stumbled a few more times before I realized what it was that I needed. It wasn't medication or meditation. I wasn't looking for inner peace or "an answer". Prayers, were helpful but the one thing that I realized I needed was a shoulder to lean on. Sometimes we don't need someone to tell us how to fix our problem, sometimes you just need someone to sit with you and just be "there". 

I did eventually find my way out of the darkness. It took some time, of course. But things turned around eventually with a little luck and lot of prayers.  A change of scenery, a chance meeting with a kindred spirit and twenty years of adventures brought me out of my depression. I still have those occasional moments where a little panic will set in, but I turned my focus to God and I have a great partner that knows that I'll go a little "crazy" sometimes and knows what to do (for the most part). Despair is the absence of hope, but it doesn't mean that it's the end. For me it was the beginning.

Henry's End by Julie A. Richman

Dreams.

I used to have them—before the nightmares started.
I dreamed of nice guys, love…normalcy.

Things like reading the Sunday paper in bed with my lover. 

But who needs dreams when your reality is filled with a string of faceless dominating men in uniform? Men that pack a thick bulge and are only too happy to satisfy my deviant sexual cravings. 

Me. That's who. 

And then HE walked through the door and shared with me, a total stranger, his intimate dream of love. Damn him for verbalizing every single detail of the dream I buried long ago. 

And now I don’t know how I'm going to live without that dream.

Or him.

 Oh my goodness! Where to begin with this book. First off let me say that I think this book is far and above the best writing from Julie. She take you on a journey that truly makes you feel each and every second of Henry's journey. Be prepared with a box or two of Kleenex because you will definitely need it!

This is the journey of Henry Clark. We first meet Henry in Searching for Moore. Henry was best friends with Mia and Schooner in college. This is his amazing story about finding love, acceptance and surviving life and what it throws at you.

Henry is a successful, openly gay, businessman. And as his friends around him start to get married and settle down, Henry feel a yearning for someone in his life to call HIS. He meets a few people a long this journey. Some turning into the best of friends, others a lasting love while others haunt him to the core.

I can't really talk about more than that without give away too much of the story. But there were twists and turns and I just couldn't put the book down. Julie pulls you into Henry's world in such a way that you feel everyone of his successes, his joys, his heartache and pain.

Henry's End is a great first book for those of you interested in checking out the M/M genre.

Henry was deeply ensconced in his own head, making resolutions about moving on, not paying attention to his surroundings, or seeing the man, as he approached his car. He was leaning against the hood, his thick muscled arms folded across his chest. Calm, cool, collected, in charge and so damn freaking handsome.

“Your place?” was all he said. 

Henry felt the sharp stab in his heart as his adrenal glands shot a release of hormones into his blood stream. Shaking his head no, he was shocked at how cool and calm his voice sounded, when he was anything but, “No. I don’t think so. You haven’t even bought me a drink yet.” 

Walking around the big Marine to the driver’s side, Henry hit the remote, unlocking the door.
With a palm to the solar plexus to stop him, “Where are you going?” the Marine asked. 

“Home,” Henry was very matter-of-fact. 

“I thought you wanted me to buy you a drink?” 

Stepping around the Marine, Henry opened the door to his black BMW and got in. “I do…” and he closed the door and started the engine. 

Rolling down the window, he added with a smile, “… on Sunday.” Gunning the Beamer's engine, he left the Marine in the dusty parking lot with a smile on his handsome face. 

Well played, Henry congratulated himself. Let him ache for me as much as I’ve been aching for him.

Ivy Lee, a talented tattoo artist who spent the early part of her twenties on the move, is looking for a place to call home.

And don’t forget BURYING WATER, BECOMING RAIN and CHASING RIVER, the first three books in this thrilling series…

Burying Water The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away. 

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. 

Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him? 

 Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried. The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Becoming Rain Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it—the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. 

When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain. 

Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington, DC, major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the West coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year-old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps. 

As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.

Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude. 

Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. 

When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. 

Chasing her off would be the smart move. Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone. And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.
