Cover Reveal ===> Lost in You by Heidi McLaughlin
Lost in You Synopsis
Ryan Stone is a less than average teenager. He doesn’t have fancy clothes. He doesn’t carry around the latest smartphone and he definitely doesn’t have an MP3 player. Instead, he goes to school, does his chores and dreams of a new life away from Brookfield where he’s expected to follow in his blue collar family’s footsteps.
Hadley Carter is America’s Pop Princess. A successful recording artist living her dream with a sold-out tour and a handful of Grammy’s there isn’t much that she wants for, except love. But finding love on the road is near impossible when all she longs for are romantic dinners, a nighttime stroll on the beach and holding hands with someone who isn’t going to exploit her.
When a chance encounter introduces Ryan to Hadley, will he be like her adoring fans looking for a way in, or will it be Hadley who pursues Ryan even though it might cost her the only career she's known.
Lost in You is a story about following your dreams, taking risks and getting lost in love.

MUSIC OF MY HEART - NEW RELEASE DATE APRIL 1ST
So, as much as I HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE, etc doing this, it's
a necessary evil. I'm going to have to move the release date of Music of My Heart to April 1st, rather than the 25th of March. It's just one week, so I hope
this won't be too much. It's just I've been slammed with a lot of issues at
once. I found out I would be attending the Boston Author Event (SQUEE), which
will take about four days out of my schedule, not to mention I have a big hometown
signing this weekend. I've also been dealing with some health issues, which
I'll be having minor surgery for in April (if you've dealt with fibroids ladies,
you have my sympathies & pain medicine isn't conducive to writing
sometimes) In the middle of all that, I was hit with several business aspects
that as the Executor of my late grandmother's estate I had to handle.
Sure, I could rush Music out, but I really want that extra week for revising and editing, not to mention getting ARCS out to bloggers. So please, please accept my apologies. As a peace offering, I give you another snip...

SNIPPET.......
As we wound around through the darkened back tunnels of the arena, I
snickered. “Hello Cleveland,” I murmured under my breath.
“What?” Jake asked.
“I was just thinking that we seem kinda lost, and I was
totally having a This Is Spinal Tap
moment.”
Whirling around, Jake’s mouth dropped open. “You actually
know that movie.”
“Of course I do. I used to watch it with the boys all the
time.”
He shook his head slowly back and forth. “How is it that
you’re actually real?”
“Huh?”
Jake smiled. “You just don't get it, do you? You’re like a rocker's epic wet dream.”
Wrinkling my nose, I replied, “Ew, thanks for the disgusting compliment.”
He stuffed his hands in his jean pockets and gave me a sheepish look. “Okay, that didn’t exactly come out like I wanted it to.”
“I’d hope not, especially since the first night I met you I was wowed by the fact you could quote Shakespeare.”
Pursing his lips, he appeared lost in thought for a moment. I just
meant that you’re a musician’s dream girl—a complete and total package.
You understand what it’s like to deal with the industry and what a gift
and a
curse the Muse can be. Plus you know all about music and singing. You're
all that, and then to to top it off you’re someone a guy could just
hang out with and watch stupid comedies like This Is Spinal Tap."
I nudged his shoe with my boot. "I didn't know I was such a rare gem," I teased.
"I'm serious. It's the most amazingly intense feeling in the world to have a beautiful girl in front of you who totally
gets you.”
Oh God. Had he actually just said that? Breathe, Abby, just breathe. My
cheeks flamed at his words while I fought to keep the wildfire burning
over my body from devouring me. When I could finally find my voice
again, I murmured, “Thanks." After he stood there just staring at me, I finally said, “By the way, that
was much better on the compliments.”
He gave me a sly grin. “You’re welcome.” He took my hand. “Now come on. I have a
big surprise for you.”
“But I don’t really like surprises,” I protested as he
dragged me further back stage.
“You’ll like this one.”
Finally, we stepped through the wings. Instead of stopping,
Jake pulled me right on stage. I gazed out at the empty, but huge arena. Tilting
my head, I spun around and took it all in. A shudder went through me. “Wow, this place is intense.”
“I love it when it’s like this,” Jake said, motioning to the
crew who were rushing around with equipment. “It’s like the calm before the
storm.” He bounced on the balls of his feet, and his whole body hummed with
excitement.
“The storm that is Hurricane Jake?” I teased.
He laughed. “Nah, sort of Tropical Storm Jake and
more like Hurricane Runaway Train.”
I smiled. “I love the fact you never leave the other guys out of
the equation. No Adam Levine and those other dudes in Maroon Five kinda thing.”
Jake shook his head. “The label tried that crap for a
while right after we hit. But it’s me and the boys, or it’s nothing.”
Reaching over, I tapped the left side of his chest. “Such a good heart in
there.”
His hand closed over mine, and he pressed it flush against
his shirt. “You don’t know what it means to me that you’re able to see that
through all the bullshit.”
“I see you a lot better than you’d ever imagine.”
“And?” he prompted.
I swallowed hard under the intensity of his stare. “I like
what I see. A lot.”
He then brought my hand to his mouth and tenderly brushed
his lips across my knuckle.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
My heartbeat thumped like a cannon blast in my ears, and I
was sure Jake could hear it. Just when he leaned in so close that his breath warmed my cheek, a voice behind us said,
“We’re ready when you are.”
Jake's eyes momentarily closed. “Worst fucking timing ever,” he
grumbled before turning back to the guy. “
