Part of Series

At sixteen years old, I lost my first love, and it shook me to my core. My parents thought taking me out of town for the summer would help me to move on, but I returned home the same way I left: a broken girl who was the last person to see her boyfriend alive. The night before school started back up, I went to an open mic night and poured my heart and soul into a song I wrote for the boy who never made it home. That night, I met Elijah, and we had an instant connection that I couldn’t ignore. For the first time in months, I felt alive again. But the next day, Elijah walked into my drama class…as Mr. Larson, our new teacher. How was I supposed to go back to the way things were when my whole life had been turned upside-down? And how was I supposed to stop myself from falling for the man who had brought me back to life? Note: My Lips Are Sealed is the first book in the Sealed With a Kiss series, and the first book in Zoe's trilogy, which must be read in order.

Carmen Richter
Author · 10 books

Carmen Richter is an old soul. Her words are like theater, masterfully spun to bring all the feels, interspersed with music that makes your heart soar. She needs her coffee to make the words flow, and some of her best writing is done in a caffeine-induced haze at one in the morning with a soundtrack that ranges from jazz standards to rock to show tunes and everything in between. When she's not writing, she loves going to live concerts and especially live theater, or just staying in and binging Criminal Minds or Law and Order: SVU for the zillionth time. Carmen lives in Kansas City with her boyfriend, Brett, and their two fur babies, a bunny named Marty and a cat named Mal. In addition to writing, she also has two branches of a business that aims to provide quality services to independent authors at a reasonable price. CPR Editing deals with everything inside your book: editing, proofreading, and interior formatting. CPR Designs deals with, well, design: logos and branding, social media graphics, covers, and teasers. Carmen loves interacting with her fans and will happily respond to all messages personally until she gets uber famous and gets a ton of them. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
