Anywhere But Here

2016

Seven years ago, I left Conway, South Carolina swearing I would never go back. I put that town in my rearview and didn’t stop until there were several hundred miles between me and the memories I wanted to leave behind. But you can’t outrun your own heart. The past always comes back, and it didn’t matter how far I went, I couldn’t erase the mark he left. I’d never met anyone like Kellen Nash before. He made me feel so . . . alive. Until I made the mistake of falling in love with him. I spent seven years trying to forget only to be forced to come face to face with him again. I wasn’t prepared for old wounds to be reopened or for him to still have this effect on me. He nearly broke me once. I won’t give him the chance to do it again, even if he does still look at me like he can see everything I keep hidden inside. There’s too much history between us, like the North and the South, to forgive and forget so easily, but the longer I’m back, the more I start to question what really happened then, and the more I worry about what will happen if he discovers my biggest secret. At seventeen she was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, and not at all what I expected. A girl like her didn’t belong with a guy like me, but that didn’t stop me from wanting her, or breaking her heart. I never thought I’d see her again, but she’s back. Only she isn't the girl I knew. In her place is an angry spitfire even more gorgeous than I remember, and she’s determined to take all that anger out on me. I’ve spent seven years missing her, living with the regret of letting her go, and when I start to catch glimpses of the girl I loved, I realize it's never too late. Or is it? This is the first in a series of inter-related stand alones. There is no cliffhanger, but Kellen and Shae's story will continue to play out through the rest of the series.

Anywhere With You

2017

Ten days. Four friends. One car. 3000 miles cross-country. It’s the adventure of a lifetime. Two people might find a second chance at love while two discover what it’s like to fall for the first time. In this life, we all make choices that define us, but can we ever be more than the sum of these choices? At eighteen, the choices I made set me on a path I thought there was no going back from. Stripper was never the aspiration for my life, but I learned at an early age that dreams could be crushed and it was better not to hang my hopes on silly fantasies. And so I shed my identity as Cecilia Rhoades to become Cici. I embraced the newfound sense of control and power I found in baring my body, bending and manipulating men as I wished, using their own desires against them. Sex and lust ruled my world, but never love. There’s no place for love in the dark, and besides, only one man ever saw me as something more, and I gave up my chance with him when I let myself become this. I did what I thought I had to at the time, but the price I paid may have been too high. What if the cost was losing myself along the way? And what if the only way to find myself again is to return home and face the past I’ve been running from? But I won’t be going alone and I may find something else I never expected on this trip. This is my story, and let me warn you, it's no fairy tale and it's not for the faint of heart. Anywhere With You can be read as a stand alone but it is recommended that you read Anywhere But Here first Mature content 17+

Stephanie is a New Adult romance author who debuted her first series in Spring of 2014, but her love affair with books began at an early age. She consumed them from the moment she learned to read, loving nothing more than to get lost in the fictional worlds that came to life on the pages. Creating her own stories was something she always enjoyed but never pursued until she wrote Finding Ever After, her first novel. It has been a dream come true ever since. She has many passions outside books, including hiking, traveling, drawing, painting, design, baking and cake decorating. Prior to the release of her first novel, she was running her own bakery and cake shop in the small coastal town where she was born and raised and returned home to after moving away for college. Becoming an author has been an incredible journey, one she hopes never ends.
