Spotlight: All My Love, Alec Brock by Larissa Lopes

/

YA Contemporary Romance

Date Published: 3/10/20

Publisher: Literary Crush

Linda González has given up small-town life with her mom to pursue a better education while living with her dad in Los Angeles. At least that's what she let her family believe. The truth is that she's in love...with an 18-year-old pop star!

Alec Brock has been her cyber boyfriend for over a year now, and Linda has finally closed the gap in their long-distance relationship. But when she surprises Alec in LA, he has no idea who she is. 

In this terrifying turn of events, Linda has nobody to rely on but the real Alec himself. She's torn between chasing the truth about the guy she fell in love with, and trying to win the heart of the guy he was supposed to be.

Excerpt

I’d never met Alec Brock, but nothing felt more real in my sixteen years of existence than the insane, breathtaking, overwhelming feeling of loving him—of being loved by him. Since the first time we had talked in that chat room online, I knew there was something special about the guy, something I hadn’t found in the physical world yet.

Falling in love with him felt as natural as breathing. And I know it’s hard to believe, but it had nothing to do with who he was.

No—I’d never given much thought to that. He wasn’t that famous when we met, and even when things got out of control, I couldn’t have cared less about that side of him.

I loved Alec because he could access a part of me that no one else could. It was like we both spoke this weird forgotten language that only we could understand, and every time we talked to each other, we were transported to this private little world where I wanted to live forever.

I’d never felt so connected to anyone before—so exposed, so understood. And for the first time in my life, someone seemed to feel the same way about me.

Spotlight: Stay With Me by Lea Coll

/

We were high school sweethearts until she left without a backward glance. Now Lucy Perry’s back and more beautiful than ever. I want to stay angry with her but I can’t. I want to resist her but it’s impossible.

She wants a fling but I want forever. I’ll take her on a trip down memory lane—the drive-in movie theater, picnics on the beach, and a boat ride to our favorite spot. She’s going to fall in love with this town. She’s going to fall in love with me. There’s no way she can walk away from me twice. 

I never thought I’d be back in my hometown. Then I lost my job, my apartment, and I moved back in with my parents. I told myself it’s only temporary but I have to face everyone I left behind—my family, my friends, and Wyatt Carter. He wasn’t the reason I left but he was the reason I never came back.

He’s no longer the sweet easy-going predictable guy I dated. He’s an intriguing mix of cocky, grumpy, and bossy which is sexier than the way he fills out his park ranger uniform. I can’t resist him anymore than I could when I was eighteen. And I don’t want to. I want to explore our chemistry but he wants a commitment—the one thing I’ve never been able to give him.

He thinks the two blue lines change everything but he’s wrong.

Spotlight: The Trophy Wife by Sunday Tomassetti

/

“I’ve done something terrible.” 

On a foggy Palm Beach morning, Cate Cabot waits at a local cafe to meet her best friend for coffee—and a confession. At least that’s what Cate assumes based on the frantic voicemail Odessa left her earlier that morning. 

Only Odessa never shows. 

And when Cate drives to her home she finds no trace of her. In fact, Odessa isn’t just missing—it’s suddenly as if she never existed in the first place. Even the staff who run her palatial home in the gated Paradise Cove community are claiming Cate must be mistaken, confused. 

As Cate searches high and low for her friend who vanished into thin air on the cusp of a mysterious admission, the only thing she finds ... is that the truth might be more terrible than she ever could have imagined. 

Liking Odessa was easy. Admiring her perfect life, easier so. But finding her? It’s going to be downright impossible without untangling the cryptic web of lies the missing trophy wife left in her wake.

Excerpt

Mr. DuVernay watches me.

What I wouldn’t give to know what he’s thinking …

Suddenly his gaze leaves mine, traveling to my mouth before stopping at my cleavage, where I left my shirt unbuttoned just enough. The entire thing lasts no more than two seconds, but it happened, of that much I’m certain.

He clears his throat, re-crosses his legs, and glances out the window.

A trumpet wails in the background, screaming as loud as my thoughts.

I’ve spent hours upon hours figuring out a way to get out of here, most of them requiring ungodly sums of money or a safe place to hide—both of which I don’t have. But there’s one route that necessitates neither of those things … an option that would require seducing Mr. DuVernay.

Up until yesterday, I was adamantly against this strategy. I’m not a homewrecker. I’m not a husband stealer. I’m not the kind of person who can hurt someone and not lose an ounce of sleep over it.

But I’m also a woman with dwindling options, a woman desperate to do whatever it takes to break free.

The lingerie in the suitcase changed everything.

Why should Mrs. DuVernay get to have her fun and take a match to her wedding vows, while her husband sits here at home on a Saturday night, loyal and clueless?

Mr. DuVernay is my only ticket out of here. He’s the only way I could ever truly be free from his wife.

I tug down on my shirt with modest subtlety so as not to make it obvious, and then I readjust my posture, focusing on the closed cigar box on the table in front of me. From my periphery, the gentle weight of Mr. DuVernay’s gaze lingers.

He fixed me a drink earlier, and I’ve yet to touch it, though mostly out of habit. Mrs. DuVernay doesn’t allow me to drink.

I reach for the wine glass and take a sip, smiling internally.

Mrs. DuVernay isn’t here now, is she?

“How is it?” he asks, watching me swallow. I lick an imaginary drop from my mouth. His fingers rap on the overstuffed arm of his chair as he studies me. The red wine lingers on my tongue and I catch a trail of his intoxicating Italian cologne. I picture him in the boardroom at his office, leading his team of highly-educated, giant ego’d sharks with his signature effortless confidence, charm, and wit.

He’s a made man, that much I know.

Mrs. DuVernay brought family money to the marriage, but from what I’ve been able to gather, she never shared it with him. After his parents died, he used his inheritance to buy a fledgling drop ship company in West Palm Shores, and over the years he turned it into a multi-million-dollar corporation with international stations in London, Moscow, and Beijing.

“Lovely.” I take another sip.

“Take your time, Zsofia.” He chuckles, raking his fingers beneath his dimpled chin. “The night is young.”

My stomach somersaults.

If I’m reading between the lines, he’s asking me to stick around all night.

There’ll be another drink after this, I suppose. And possibly another.

Conversations.

Flirting?

My stomach somersaults, my fingers tingle with uncertain electricity.

This is wrong.

And this is also necessary.
