Synopsis:
Pro
quarterback, Ethan Christopher thought he had found his home when he met rock
musician, Mia Devereux. She was the welcomed distraction in his
football-focused life.
Things may not have been perfect. Their individual careers made being together difficult. Her touring. His away schedule. As her success grew, they spent more extended periods apart.
But at the end of the day, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Only her.
When Mia met Ethan, she felt a connection unlike any she’d ever felt. She gave him more of herself than she thought was even possible.
But she knew it wasn’t enough. There was a lot she didn’t share, couldn’t give him.
An event two decades in her past made sure of that.
Those demons that she’d so carefully tucked away wanted out. As Mia struggled with the stress of touring and being apart from Ethan, her defenses weakened, allowing the demons to fight their way to the surface, leaving her in a vulnerable place. A place where bad choices were made.
Choices that both of them will regret.
Can Mia and Ethan's love survive her past? Or will if fall apart under the weight of her choices?

Excerpt
Luke Stapleton
January 30, 2008 749 PM
Welcome
back to the Northern Hemisphere!
Thank you!
I missed it.
It missed
you too.
I’ve missed
you.
Same here,
sweets. How are you doing?
Just
chilling in my dressing room before the show.
Wish I
could be there.
Where are
you?
Denver.
She shook her head in frustration. Luke
could text her but her own fiancé couldn’t? Was he still upset over their Skype
conversation?
Have you talked to Ethan?
Yes.
About me?
Yes.
Goddamn it! You and your fucking short answers. What was
talked about?
I
don’t want to go there.
Seriously?
Don’t
be mad.
Too late. Could you tell the man I am supposed to marry that
I am back in the Northern Hemisphere … just in case he was wondering?
Mia threw her phone in her bag and
stormed off. She knew she needed to calm down; the show started in thirty
minutes. So she stalked down to the green room in search of a drink. Throwing
open the door, she purposely made her way to the beverage table and grabbed a
plastic cup, pouring herself a rather large shot of vodka, then slamming it and
immediately pouring another and did it all over again.
“Not a good choice, Mia.”
She whipped around at the voice and
found Marty sitting on the sofa with his guitar resting on his lap. She didn’t
want to deal with his lectures right now. “What? Do you think I should have
gone with the tequila?”
“Are you okay?” he asked, concern
evident in his tone. Mia was thankful for him, but didn’t want to hear it. She
wanted the numbness that being drunk brought her.
“Of course!” she said sarcastically. “I
always change my routine before a show.”
“You never drink before a show. Never,”
he informed her. Mia knew this. He was right and that made her feel awful.
“I know. Bad day.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“No. I just want it to go away,” she
said hopelessly.
“How about you save the drinking until
after the show? I’ll even join you.”
“When did you become so responsible?”
“When I saw that my friend was barely
holding it together and needed my help,” he said, his light green-gray eyes
full of understanding.
Mia nodded at him, the older brother
she never had, but always dreamed about. Placing the drink on the table, she
exhaled loudly, the disappointment in herself overwhelming. Marty was right.
She needed his help because she had no idea how to bring herself out of this downward
spiral. Right now, she was hanging on to a frayed rope and each time she tried
to pull herself up, the rope fell apart even more.
“Go back to your dressing room.
Breathe. Relax. Then when we get out on stage, kick ass. Let’s start this leg
of the tour off on the right foot.”
With a nod, she walked over to the
door. “Thanks, Marty.”
“Anytime.”
She returned to her dressing room. Once
inside, Mia rested against the door and closed her eyes.
“Breathe,” she chanted to herself,
pushing all the thoughts out of her mind with each breath until she was
visualizing the stage, standing at the mike and performing in front of the
fans. She heard the music; felt the beat. Mia took her body through some of her
moves and was so focused on her thoughts that it took a few tries for Allie to
grab her attention.
“It’s time,” came Allie’s voice from
the other side of the door.
Normally Mia would give a big speech
before the show but wasn’t in the mood for one tonight. What she needed was a
big group hug. She let her three bandmates pull her into their fold and felt
the support they tried to give her. Even though it hadn’t been discussed
amongst them, they knew she was in trouble—that she was upset about something.
And, right now, they were there for her, giving her that much-needed support.
The lights went off on stage. Mia put
her ear piece in while the band made their way on stage. She listened
mindlessly to the soundboard operator’s chatter while she impatiently waited
for her signal—the beginning of the song.
The music started with Marty’s guitar.
Then the lights came on, dimly at first, giving her an opportunity to get to
the center of the stage and her microphone stand without being seen. Then
Todd’s beat joined the guitar. The moment Mia opened her mouth to sing, all the
lights burst on and then flashed for a few notes of Clark’s steady deep beat.
The drums and guitar were electrifying. She felt the adrenaline flow through
her blood. She had a good feeling already about this show.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW:
Describe Mia in one sentence. Mia is a very loyal and loving
friend who loves hard and plays hard; she is talented, strong, beautiful,
complex and insecure.
Describe Ethan in one sentence. Ethan is sweet and loving, gorgeous quarterback who may appear perfect,
but is just as flawed as all of us.
Favorite and least favorite scene to write in Bring Me You? I would say my absolute favorite scene to write in Bring Me You was the proposal scene. Ethan was absolutely perfect
in that scene the way he teased her even when asking her to spend the rest of
her life with him. My least favorite
scene…well, it will have to be scenes, really, because they were all written
together – the last four chapters of the book. I was a sobbing MESS writing
these four chapters. I hated what I did to these two characters. I seriously
ached after I was done. I was numb for days.
What’s your guilty pleasure? I will say Pinterest because it leads me to Tumblr, which leads me back
to Pinterest. Full circle, baby. But I could also say shopping. They both give
me this beautiful pleasure that makes me feel guilty.
If you weren’t an author what would you be doing right now? I always wanted to be a teacher. I almost
went back for my masters after my husband finished his MBA, but then we had to
start paying for his student loans and…yeah, I didn’t want to add to that.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? My son, my little mini-me.
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and
why? Hmm … I’d have to say Robert Downey
Jr. I mean, hell, he’s Iron Man. He’s so funny. He’s been through hell and
back. I just want to know what makes him tick. How he got past his demons.
What is your go to snack food when writing? I usually forego all food while writing.
If you could sit down face to face with any of your
characters, who would you choose and why? I
cannot choose one. I would like to sit down with Mia and hug the shit out of
her and tell her it will get better. And then Ethan ... Do I have to say
anymore? Football God. Southern gentleman and sexy as sin. Is it getting hot in
here?
What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? 1) Go to London. 2) Road Trip of the United
States in an RV. 3) Meet Justice Joslin
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be
and why? Some place warm – near a beach.
Not too picky where
Favorite Word and Least Favorite Word? Favorite word: Fuck; Least Favorite: No.
Biggest fear? The
loss of my son :(
Deepest regret? I
really have no regrets. Things happen for a reason.
Favorite memory? Meeting
my husband for the first time.
Worst flaw? I like to
please.
Most annoying pet peeve? Drivers who don’t know where they’re going.
If you could change one thing about yourself…what would it
be? I wish I could have smaller boobs.
Yes, I said it.

About the author:
During the day, Ryleigh is an
analyst, but even then, she’s writing, sneakily crafting scenes on post-it
notes. She's been told she's a bit of a geek...some say nerd. She'll agree to
it all. She loves music. It's been a force in her life for as long as she can
remember. Her love of Star Wars and superheroes has probably been going on just
as long...see, this is where the geek/nerd thing comes into play. But, most of
all, Ryleigh loves the written word. She's been writing for a long time. Her
first story came to her during one of her history classes. She wrote it in the
margins of her notebook in teeny tiny letters so no one knew that she was
writing a book instead of taking notes on 16th Century Europe. She currently
lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her husband and son, along with her Siberian
Husky, Mick Jagger, and her cat, Winston Churchill.
