Hey there! I have another cover reveal for you! I'm really loving this one. I love the combination of the monochromatic image and the blue fonts. So simple yet eye catching. I want this on my shelf! ♥
For Sienna, love and art are perilous games. Is she ready to take that gamble?
Sienna is a beautiful, talented artist poised on the precipice of soaring into the glamorous, yet cutthroat Manhattan art scene. Dave Hightower is a hooked-up, handsome heir to the hippest gallery in NYC, Gallery Hightower. Erik is the live drawing model with his sizzling green eyes fixed only on Sienna.
Three’s a crowd, so Sienna must make a choice: date Dave and ride the fast track to landing a show at Gallery Hightower and hobnobbing with the art glitterati, or follow her heart and take a chance with Erik, the stunning male model who’s stealing her heart. But Erik has some worrisome secrets, and who in their right mind would make live modeling their career?
Dare Sienna throw away her chances of hitting it big to follow her heart?

It's been a long time since I last read a book that's set in Texas and word knows how much I love books with that setting so I'm really excited for Sasha's Cowboys & Kisses. Can't wait for the hot boys and even hotter accent! ❤
Allie had big plans for the future. Falling for a cowboy wasn’t part of it.
1. Get out of Black Falls Texas – aka Redneck Hell
(Graduation was eight months away. After that, she was out of there.)
2. Avoid Wyatt Holcomb at all costs.
(Except he was everywhere and kind of hard to ignore since he was hot—and a really nice guy.)
3. Avoid her parents.
(Shouldn’t be too hard to do since her father hated her and her mother pretended nothing was wrong.)
4. Stop thinking about Wyatt.
(Which would be a lot easier if he wasn’t so sweet… and he’d keep his shirt on.)
5. Decide what she really wants.
(Instead of holding onto the past and the guilt.)
Maybe falling for a cowboy could work after all?
About the Author
Sasha is part gypsy. Her passions have always been storytelling, history, romance, and travel. She writes lyrical romantic fantasy, steamy contemporary romance, sci-fi romance, and young adult romance. Her first play was written for her Girl Scout troupe. She's been writing ever since. She loves getting lost in the worlds and characters she creates; even if she frequently forgets to run the dishwasher or wash socks when she's doing so. Luckily, her family is super understanding and supportive.
Tell me about yourself.
Sure. I just turned eighteen and I graduated from college in May. I love books, love to write… The coolest place in the world, to me, is the library or being at my Gran’s… well, what was my Gran’s place in Ireland. She passed away earlier this year.
You entered college at a very young age. What was the worst thing that ever happened to you during that time? How about the best?
The worst thing? I couldn’t event begin to list them all. You try going to college at fourteen. It was a nightmare. Someone was always trying to get me drunk, high, or stuff my head down a toilet somewhere. Dating was non-existent. All of the girls thought I was jailbait and they were right. Talk about a bite. The best was meeting my buddy Gabe. He kept the wolves at bay, so to speak. He’s responsible for the good times that I did have.
You first met Calienta in a dream when you were six. Surely, you knew there was something not normal about her. Did it ever scare you or stopped you from wanting to be close to her?
When I first met her, I didn’t know if it was a dream or not. I didn’t want it to be though. We had a connection… I can’t explain it. She felt like she would have been my best friend. Believe me, when you grow up in a messed up place, like I did, if someone makes you feel at all happy you don’t toss that away. With Calienta, I felt… like I wasn’t alone. That was saying something. So no, I was never afraid of her. I was more afraid of my father, Stephen.
Tell me about your journey through the Faerie realm. What was the weirdest thing you encountered there?
Yeah. There was this pack of Trooping Faeries that found me. We were in hiding, you know? Anyway, they snagged me and Calienta and I got separated. They took me away to their home in the trees, treated me like a friend, offered me a meal… Which turned out to be a bunch of rocks and things. Nasty. Anyway, one of them found out about me and I had to go on the run. It’s a toss up between that and plunging thousands of feet in total darkness.
If you never met Calienta and her family, what do you think you'd be doing by now?
I would be working on my twelfth novel in my Gran’s cottage in Ireland. It would be bliffdully quiet and no one would be talking. I’d just spend every day writing... Maybe, I’d have gotten a dog. I wouldn’t give her up for anything, though. Just to be clear.
Lastly, if you were given the chance to go back in time, is there anything you'd want to change?
I’d save my mother. She lost her life in such a cruel and callous way that I’d… Well, no one should have to go through anything like that.
The world is about to be cloaked in darkness.
Only one can stop the night.
