 ABOUT THE AUTHOR-3

I looked into Carly’s honest eyes and everything stilled. The anger, the fight, the hatred, it was all gone. I felt stripped and raw and worse, desperate. A needy, crawl-up-her-body-and-lose-myself desperate. What the fuck was happening to me? I wasn’t supposed to fall for a woman. I couldn’t need a woman. I used women. I used them before they used me then I moved on. Fuck them and leave. That’s how you survived. Women were shit and I was nothing. Nothing couldn’t get broken by a woman. But this? This fucked-up desperation could.

“Come inside with me,” she pleaded with the temptation of everything I knew was wrong for me.

Drunk, stupid, I didn’t walk away. I trailed my fingers down her cheek. “I wanted to kiss you this morning.”

She didn’t flinch. “I know.”

I threaded my hand up the back of her neck. “You pulled away from me.”

“I know.”

I twisted my fingers into her hair. “I still want to kiss you.”

Turning her face, she exposed the smooth skin of her neck. “Please, don’t.”

Cover for NO APOLOGIESNever apologize

Hard-edged rocker Graham Allen has it all. He’s flush with cash from playing bass in a band by night and restoring classic cars by day. And there are plenty of women willing to share his bed for a night, complication-free. Perfect, because if there’s anything he learned from his past, it was to never get attached—to anything. So when bartender Carly Sullivan flashes her innocent smile, Graham isn’t prepared for what happens next.

Never fall in love

Two rules, that’s all Graham has—never apologize and never fall in love. He knows Carly is everything he should avoid. Cheerful and sweet, she has “relationship” written all over her. But Graham can’t stay away from her probing questions and concerned blue eyes.

When Graham discovers Carly is hiding a crushing secret, he’s prepared to risk it all. Until in one single moment, everything changes and Graham’s past threatens to collide with his future. His life is crumbling down around him, and soon no apology in the world can save him.

He should’ve known to walk away.

SybilI grew up in Northern California with my head in a book and my feet in the sand. I dreamt of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries with their shelves full of books drew me into the world of storytelling. I love the New Adult genre, but really, any story about a love so desperately wrong and impossibly beautiful makes me swoon.
I now live in Southern Florida and while I don’t get to read as much as I like, I still bury my toes in the sand. If I’m not writing or fighting to contain the banana plantation in my backyard, you can find me spending time with my handsomely tattooed husband, my brilliantly practical son and a mischievous miniature boxer…
But Seriously?
Here are ten things you really want to know about me.
I grew up a faculty brat. I can swear like a sailor. I love men in uniform. I hate being told what to do. I can do your taxes (but don’t ask). The Bird Market in Hong Kong freaks me out. My favorite word is desperate…or dirty, or both—I can’t decide. I have a thing for muscle cars. But never reply on me for driving directions, ever. And I have a new book boyfriend every week—don’t tell my husband.
