Kate Connelly has been longing for escape from The Academy since the day
she arrived.

Just when she’d settled into her role as an elite cadet and Officer
Ranger Nealson’s wife, her first love, former Elite Cadet Pete
Davenport, crashes into her life once again. Unwilling to let Ranger have
her, he carries out a daring rescue, snatching her back from The Academy and
the possessive arms of her new husband . . . while on their honeymoon in
Mexico.

After the absolute best summer of her life, she discovers that The Academy
has retaliated by abducting her other brother, and a growing reason why she
has to return. Kate makes the heartbreaking decision to leave Pete, arriving
back at The Academy with Ranger’s prized possession. But instead of
welcoming her back with open arms, she’s greeted with a cold shoulder
and finds herself back to square one—with The Academy and with
Ranger.

Before she can even catch her breath, she’s forced, once again, into
carrying out The Academy’s ongoing plans for her. Meanwhile,
Ranger’s ruthless pursuit of revenge and reaching for the next rung in
his career leaves Kate isolated, outcast, and bitterly regretting her
decision to return. But just when things seem to be turning around for The
Nealsons, something crashes into their lives that shatters all that has ever
mattered: past, present, and future. Priorities, alliances, and old
vendettas shift once again. And their lives will never be the same.

About the Author

CJ Daly grew up on the scrabbly plains of Eastern New Mexico. When she was
supposed to be helping her six siblings with chores on the family ranch, she
was really sneaking behind dusty haystacks to read. And dreaming about
becoming a writer.

After graduating high school, CJ moved to Big D (Dallas) where she quickly
put herself through college while trying to rid herself of her country
accent. She had better luck with college, graduating magna cum laude with a
degree in English literature. After teaching a few years, and pausing to
have back-to-back boys, she began writing in earnest.

A few years later, “The Academy Saga” was born. “The
Academy” is her debut novel, and “The Academy,
Cadet-in-Training” is the sequel. CJ is so proud that both books earned
Readers’ Favorites 5-STAR seals of approval. When she isn’t writing, you can
usually find her running from one athletic field to another, feeding the
array of wild animals that show up at her back door, or kicking back with
her gal-pals to sip cocktails and gossip about favorite books and TV
shows.

Scarlett’s Web Blitz

New Adult Romance

Date Published 05-03-2021

Scarlett Camden met her Prince Charming-Harvard bound, Michael, the first
week of her sophomore year. Her life went from less than mediocre to
something resembling epic. With her new best friend, Jade’s help, she
managed to transform from the quiet girl no one remembered to the
most-envied girl at their private school, Philips Kimball Academy. But
things took unexpected turns.

Looks were more than deceiving. Life became unpredictable and
unchangeable.

What happened behind closed doors and away from intrusive eyes was anything
but the fairytale everyone assumed she was living.

Years later, her past collides with her present life. Once again, her world
gets thrown into a whirlwind filled with painful memories, unforgivable
crimes of lust, and the loss of hope. Devastation and regrets.

This is the story of first love and loss. Lies and lust weaved into a web
too big to escape.

Will Scarlett’s web of lies keep her terminally trapped by her committed
sins when she was practically a child, or will forgiveness grant her a happy
ever ending filled?

Nothing Else But You – Blitz

Nothing Else But You banner

New Adult Romance, Contemporary Romance

Published: July 30, 2019

Publisher: Boroughs Publishing Group

TRUE HEARTS

What appealed most about The Letter Club was the anonymity and complete absence of social media BS. Giovanni Di Caro lives with enough scrutiny and family drama, he didn’t need anymore, but he wanted someone he could talk to. Sure, his quad-mates in college are great, but there’s a part of him he wanted to share without worrying about being judged. What he didn’t expect was to fall for a woman whose letters became his anchor. Smart, funny, intuitive and sweet, somehow she understood him better than anyone else in his life. The problem? He doesn’t know her name or where she lives. But he will, because over the past few months she had become his girl, and now he’s ready to claim what’s his.

EXCERPT FROM NOTHING ELSE BUT YOU

Mirabelle figured that dwelling on the school shooting and G’s aimlessness as a result thereof was a downer. She wanted to make him laugh and see the lighter side of life. God knew she spent countless hours working on that herself.

So, after typing out the letter and printing it in the computer lab – she did not have a computer at home and she would never use the one at work for personal stuff – she returned to the computer and went through the Sagawick Valley High School’s yearbooks for G’s sophomore year.

Unusual, and a bit daunting, there were eleven boys with G as their first name. And who knew if G was really a G. She wasn’t really Mirabelle, but she had become Mirabelle nine months ago when she’d fled home. It took a good chunk of her savings to buy a new driver’s license and social security card. Denny, the guy who sent her to the forger, was as stand-up as a mid-level street dealer could be, but in this case, he did her a solid. No, she didn’t do drugs, but she had lived in the same rat-hole boarding house in Portland as he did, and she cooked on her little camp stove, even though she wasn’t supposed to cook in her room. One night when she was making a stew, Denny had smelled the food, came a knocking, and begged a meal. Their sit-down dinners were a two to three time a week occurrence. Denny was a real quid pro quo kind of guy, so he did her a solid and sent her to a good forger who knew how to get her a valid social security number.

Which was how she was able to move to and settle in Fiddler’s Rest, population 2,036, the county seat of a sparsely populated area, a little east of the middle of the great state of Oregon. After having spent hours hunched over a computer in one of Portland’s public libraries, she’d found Fiddler’s Rest, saw they had a community college, and that there were enough stores in the area that she knew she’d find work. It was cheap to live there, far from almost everything and everybody, yet only miles from a main highway that cut across the state. Perfect camouflage and an easy escape route.

Taking it on faith that G was a G, she went through the yearbook assiduously. Eleven G guys, five of which were on sports teams. Mirabelle bet that G had become proficient enough to play a sport for an Ivy League school because he’d done it for years. Of the five sport Gs, George, football, Geoffery, tennis – natch with that spelling – Grant, basketball, Glen, baseball and Giovanni, lacrosse, Mirabelle had guessed that Glen was her G.

But she wasn’t certain.

Glenn Ryback was good-looking in a jock sort of way, but he didn’t exude Ivy League. He seemed more state school and chill. He didn’t have the intensity a student needed to crack the Ivy League safe. Geoffery Whitcomb was so white bread and Ivy League his photo screamed Skull and Bones, but he didn’t look like he had a sensitive bone in his body. Her G – yeah, she knew he wasn’t hers, but still – was a guy with a deep well of a soul or a supreme liar. Who was she to judge? She’d reinvented herself and fabricated a new identity. But… She hadn’t lied to him about anything except the initial of her first name. She was golden.

Grant Ascomb had the looks and the Ivy League aura, but while basketball could get physical, it wasn’t brutal, which is how her G described his sport. Which left George Brody, the linebacker, and Giovanni Di Caro, the lacrosse player. George wasn’t much to look at, but he fit the bill in the sports department. She couldn’t tell if he was Ivy League material. Maybe, but around the eyes he didn’t seem to have the smarts. There was nothing scientific about her deductions. Christ, these were yearbook photos that were nearly five years old. But, it was all she had.

Giovanni Di Caro was too gorgeous to be serious enough to even apply for college, never mind gain entrance to an Ivy League school. The lower classes’ photos were in black and white. Only the seniors’ photos were in color, and yet, Mirabelle knew Giovanni had bright blue eyes and jet-black hair. A dangerous combination in the you’re-too-handsome-to-be-real column, which was why she was sure he wasn’t her G. Anyone who looked that good and could drop panties for a living didn’t knuckle down and study like a demon. Sure, she was making broad generalizations, but she’d found, for the most part, they held water.

She looked at the time in the top corner of the computer screen, cursed, then erased her search history and powered off the computer. She was going to be late for her writing class. They were diagramming sentences, which sounded horrid, but she loved that shit.
