Book Description:
Piper Downing knows a
thing or two about death. She’s spent her entire life working
inside her family’s funeral home. Now thirty, Piper’s been
running the place on her own for what feels like an eternity. Not
that she minds. Losing her parents at a young age, watching her
teenage boyfriend die before her eyes, and seeing every type of death
and tragedy possible in her line of work did something to her psyche.
Piper copes with her job—and the world—by putting every emotion
in a box and burying it. She doesn’t get close to people, has no
friends, and only has relationships with men for sexual
satisfaction. She doesn’t
love. Love is selfish.
Macy Quinn Oliver knows a
thing or two about death, too. An injury caused him to be honorably
discharged as a fighter pilot and now he works as grief counselor at
the local VA hospital. He grew up in a family that understands the
pain of death, yet embraces what it means. He was taught that death
isn’t the end, it is simply… until next time. Even after losing
his young bride to brain cancer, Quinn loves. Quinn lives. But
because of his vow to his late wife, Quinn will never marry. When he
meets Piper at his Grandmother’s wake, her chestnut hair and
matching eyes stirs him in a way that hasn’t happened for a long
time.
And Quinn has the same
effect on Piper. Together they make the perfect pair; a girl who
won’t love and a guy who won’t marry. But in order to get their
happy ever after, Piper has to learn that love isn’t an end all,
and Quinn must make a commitment he promised to never make again.
About the Author
Justine lives in the
Midwest, happily catering to her family, which consists of a
horse-obsessed teenage daughter, four dogs, and a husband who is to
good to be true. She’s never moved from her hometown, but hopes to
grow old in a much warmer climate. During the day she works a normal
job with college students who try their best to keep her young.
They’ve done a good job thus far. At night, said teenage daughter
and her horse require mounds of love and attention. The weekends
belong solely to her and her writing. That’s when she morphs into a
sticky bug, unable to leave the confines of her computer chair.
She started writing three
years ago after seeing a movie that set off a chain reaction she
couldn’t have stopped if she’d wanted. It’s not a hobby for
her; it’s an obsession. One she loves and one she loves to share.
Her debut novel, RECAPTURED DREAMS, and her second book, ALL AMERICAN
GIRl, are available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and wherever
books are sold.

EXCERPT #3
“You didn’t have to go through all that trouble, you
know. Store-bought cookies would’ve done the trick.”
A rumbling laugh rolled out him, his eyes glittering
with mischief in the mix of low sun and candle light.
“You’re special, I guess,” he said on a sigh.
Her face went hot. She busied herself stuffing her mouth
full of food so she wouldn’t have to say anything. After she
finally thought she could control the ping-pong of sizzle, she spoke
again. “Why the graveyard, Quinn? I think your tactic of asking me
out alone was clever, but this…this has to be the strangest place
I’ve ever had dinner with a man.”
His gaze caught hers. “Romantic?”
“Surprisingly, yes.”
“Unforgettable?”
“Positively.”
He leaned back in his seat, studying her. “Then I’ve
done well.”
She looked down at her empty plate, unable to stare at
the strong features of his face. The twitch of his dimple when he
smiled. The soft observation of his eyes. This really wasn’t
turning out to be a total bust. And her resolve to not like him was
quickly slipping through her fingers.
A hand appeared before her face. “Walk with me?” His
voice caressed her senses. No other’s man voice had ever done that.
She looked up, feeling out of place with her inner
electricity acting like he was the cure for the fire beneath her
skin. That thought terrified her, but she wouldn’t tell him no.
He’d gone to all this trouble. There was this churning feeling in
her stomach, making her wonder if Quinn’s trouble was going to end
up being her trouble, too.
