Genre:
New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance
Series:
Out of Line Series, #4
Publish Date:
October 14, 2014

Synopsis:
The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart . . .

Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I do can stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain . . .

Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal . . .

One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.

Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.

Today, we have an author guest post from Jen McLaughlin explaining why she chose to continue the series by bringing in an adult title.

Finn and Carrie -- adult style

When I decided to write another Finn and Carrie book, I knew where I had to pick up the story. At the end of Out of Mind, we fast forward seven years. So if I wanted to give the readers what they wanted--which was more Finn and Carrie--that's where I had to pick up.

To take an NA book and turn it into an adult book is (to my knowledge, anyway) not something that's bee done before. It's a bit daunting of a prospect, but I knew that it was something I wanted to try anyway! And I have to say, it's been so much fun to take these NA characters, make them grow up...and put them through hell all over again, so to speak, lol.

I'm hoping that by taking these younger characters and turning them into something new and fun, in a way, it can let people who haven't experienced these characters as NA characters to enjoy them as adults. And on the flip side, it will let the readers who came along on their earlier journey experience a new side of Finn and Carrie...their mature/adult sides.

What do you think of this concept? Would you like to see other NA characters turned into adult books?
