The Do Over is LIVE

Today, May 20th was the intended release day for The Do Over, but I got it back from the fabulous Angela from Fictional Formats on Saturday and had twitching fingers.

I loaded everything up Saturday night and contemplated if I should or shouldn't press SAVE and PUBLISH.  Decisions, decisions, decisions.

When I woke up Sunday morning, I decided I might as well do it.  I've heard of the nightmares with Amazon taking an eternity to get a book to go up, and if nothing else, I wanted to make sure it would be up by Monday.

So I pressed Save and Publish and crawled under my covers, hiding from the world while reading Cautious by E. L. Montes.  It was obvious what I'd be doing, right?  Well, I had to PM her because my heart was pounding, and while I was doing that in the safety of my bedspread cocoon, I saw a notification flash on my screen, IT'S LIVE ON AMAZON.  I thought it was a question. Nope, we were live on Amazon.

A fabulous first day!  I'm beyond humbled and grateful for each person who bought the book, borrowed from a friend, and even those bastards who decided to pirate it within an hour of it being up.  

While on my journey, I've met some pretty fantastic people and so many of them have been incredibly supportive.

There are so many other people, strangers that took a chance on me, read my book and fell in love with it.  Friends that I've made along the way.  They are fantastic.  I'm so grateful to each and every one of them!  

Thank you!!  <3

COVER REVEAL: Destined to Succeed by Lisa M. Harley


DESTINED TO SUCCEED 
LISA HARLEY
JUNE 9TH, 2013

Synopsis: 

What would you do if what you worked your entire life to build was suddenly destroyed?

Cade Walker is a cowboy Casanova. He’s cocky and he doesn’t care who knows it. He was raised on Walker Ranch and was destined to one day take it over. What he didn’t know was how soon that would happen. After his parents are killed in a car accident he is thrust into becoming a responsible adult. Well, sort of. Cade is always responsible when it comes to business, but pleasure, now that’s a whole other story.

Suzanna Mallory is a red-headed spitfire, who also happens to be Cade’s best friend. She has loved Cade since they met when they were nine years old, but Cade just isn’t the type to get married and settle down. Suzanna finds herself in an abusive marriage and the only thing that keeps her sane is her daughter, Isabella, and working with Cade at Walker Ranch.

When a fire threatens to destroy the future of Walker Ranch, Cade and Suzanna have to work together to save it.

What will this mean for her marriage or to the feelings that she has for Cade?

And now that Cade thought he found love with Loralei Harper, only to realize she didn’t feel the same way, is he ready to settle down?

Is Cade Walker Destined to Succeed?







Destined to Succeed Excerpt:
 
Cade walked up behind me and pulled my hand with the shot glass up to his mouth. He had me press it to his lips as he slammed it back. He was standing so close to me. His chest was pressed against my shoulder.
 
"You havin’ a party without me, hon?” I could feel his breath against my neck.

A party just ain’t a party without Cade Walker, right?” I was trying to be funny, but my voice was shaky because he was just too close for me to think straight. He gently turned me around to face him. I felt his finger under my chin as he tilted my head up to look at him. His eyes were smoldering and this might have been the shots talking, but he was totally kissing me with those eyes.



Author Bio:
I grew up in a really small town in Missouri. Very similar to the fictional town I wrote about in my novel. I moved to the big city right after I graduated. I work full-time and I am mom to a beautiful little girl. I started writing in October when a group I am in had a prologue contest. I didn't win the contest, but everyone who read my prologue asked for more of my story. I decided I had to finish it and get these characters that were in my head out on paper. During the writing process it became clear that this was going to be more than one novel. It had to be a series. I have at least 2 more novels planned for the Destined Series. I also have an idea for a YA novel that stems from one of the characters in Destined to Change...hint, hint. When I was asked to write this bio I explained that I am really boring and it would be really short...so, that's about all there is to know about me. I love music and honestly couldn't have written this book without my Spotify playlist. I am kinda obsessed with frogs (not real ones) and office supplies are my downfall! I could spend my whole paycheck at the stationery store...boring, didn't I already say that? lol Also, I am slightly addicted to Facebook and Voxer. Please message me on either one...I would love to hear from all of you.
