Genre: Contemporary Romance 18+
Publication Date: July 16, 2014
Synopsis
Diagnosis: Borrowed time
Treatment: Trust
Prognosis: Beautifully Done
Asher Craig drives fast, flies high, and screws hard. But make no mistake, he’s a gentleman.
He learned way too young that we’re all on borrowed time. Fair or unfair, you only get one ride.
He vows to live for the moment because it’s the only time he owns. The past is beyond his control and the future may not exist. With his only loyalties being his family, he thrives for that edge where plunging over is always in the realm of possibility.
When a beautiful familiar face tilts his axis, he re-examines everything and realizes that second chances are overrated and a lifetime of firsts are irreplaceable. In the end, it’s not her medical degree but his trust that needs to prove that the ride together is worth it ... until it’s Beautifully Done.
***Author's note***

Beautifully Awake Deleted Scene
The Proposal
“What … what is this?” Lili
whispered, ping-ponging her gaze between mine and the small box. Tiffany
screwed up when they chose that shade of blue, they hadn’t seen my girl’s eyes.
“Overdue, that’s what it is,” I
answered. She needed time to heal, so I waited. Now I was done waiting.
She opened the box and her eyes
glazed with tears. “Oh my God Chase, it’s … beyond anything I could have
imagined, it’s perfect.”
“Blue, you just described yourself. But this …” I slipped the blue rock on her finger. “This is just a formality. You’re already my wife, have been since the day you woke me up. That’s truth.” Because it was.
About the Authors
It only took twelve years, two husbands, five kids, two dogs, and a two-week vacation in Cape Cod later to decide the romance world needed a splash of medicine. Write what you know.
When we are not working on our book or reading the latest angsty romance on our kindles, you basically name it and we have it going on. Soccer, lacrosse, golf, swimming, dance, gymnastics, football, chess, baseball, basketball, skiing, ice skating, school, homework, and more school.
Oh yeah, did we forget to mention our careers in medicine?
Needless to say, we realized fast that something had to go, so we opted for sleep. It’s completely overrated (yet so AMAZING) and delirium makes everything funnier. Good thing we share a brain and can pretty much complete each other’s sentences (definitely weird, we know), otherwise it might have taken us two years to write Beautifully Awake rather than one.
So that’s our story, who we are … just add AUTHORS to the list!
