Cover Reveal : Weightless


I remember the lights.

I remember I wanted to photograph them, the way the red and blue splashed across his cold,
emotionless face. But I knew even if my feet could move from the place where they had cemented
themselves to the ground and I could run for my camera, I wouldn’t be able to capture that moment.

I had trusted him, I had loved him, and even though my body had changed that summer, he’d made sure to help me hold onto who I was inside, regardless of how the exterior altered.

But then everything changed.

He stole my innocence. He scarred my heart. He took everything I thought I knew about my life and fast- pitched it out the window, shattering the glass that held my world together in the process.

I remember the lights.

The passionate, desperate, hot strikes of red. The harsh, cruel, icy bolts of blue.

They symbolized everything I endured that summer.

And everything I would never face again.

HERE'S THE LONG AWAITED COVER OF WEIGHTLESS !!!!!



Title : Weightless
Release Date : 16 June 2016
Genre : Romance, New Adult
Author : Kandi Steiner

EXCERPT & TEASER

Rhodes ran a hand through his still-damp hair as he watched me look around. “You want something to drink?”

My eyes found his but dropped a little to note the way his shirt was still sticking to his abdomen. “Just water is fine.”

He nodded, stepping into the kitchen long enough to grab a glass and fill it with ice and water from the fridge. Setting it down on the counter in front of me, he lifted a thumb and pointed to the room down the hall behind him. “I just need to shower real quick. You can too, if you want.”

I swallowed hard, my eyes practically bulging from my head. And for the first time — Rhodes laughed.

Well, he chuckled.

“I meant when I’m done, Natalie.”

“I know,” I said quickly. I totally didn’t know. “I will. When you’re done. I have extra clothes.” Why did I say that?

He quirked a brow. “Guess I won’t be seeing you naked tonight, then.” I thought he was joking, but
couldn’t be sure because he left it at that without so much as another smile before turning and
disappearing down the hall.

I quickly guzzled down the glass of water he’d given me and refilled it. I needed to cool down. Way
down.

Release Day : Seven


DEVASTATION

Moving back home wasn't anything I ever wanted. 
But after enduring the worst,
Going home was the only answer.
Being back is everything I thought it would be...
Awful, isolating, a constant reminder of what I lost. 
And the last thing I need-- or want-- is more reminders of my past,
Especially Bryant Wood. 

GUILT

That's all I feel-- all I can see when I look at Savannah Turner.
I want to hold her, feel her, love her,
And thank her for what's she given me.
But I can't show her the gratitude.
The relief.
The gift she's given me.
I won't.
It'll ruin everything.
A secret I must keep-- a secret that could break her. 
Shatter her.
Destroy her.
All over again.

EXCERPT & TEASERS


“Whoa. Someone must be really sick. Are you sure you got everything?” The girl at the counter, the one with spiked purple hair and a nose ring hanging out of her nostril that I feel the urge to pull, pops her gum and smirks at me. I’m pretty sure she’s making fun of me for buying what looks like all of aisle six but fuck if I don’t give a rat’s ass what she thinks.

“Well Princess, why don’t you tell me since you seem so concerned with what I’ve chosen. She may be a little sick or she may be a lot sick. I won’t know that until I see her so back up the sarcasm truck and help a guy out, huh?”

And chew with your mouth closed. I’m sure your mother didn’t raise a cow.

Spikey cashier girl narrows her eyes at me and pops her gum one more time. She releases a loud sigh
when she sees that I’m not in the mood for her sarcastic bullshit and chews on the side of her mouth for a moment while she surveys the products I’ve chosen. She smirks and shakes her head, I think trying to stifle a laugh, and says, “A magazine.”

“A what?”

“A magazine.”

“A magazine? For what? What kind of magazine?”

“Look, when girls are sick they want to cuddle under a blanket and either sleep, watch tv, or read
quietly. So go with something like People magazine.”

“Why People?” I’m intrigued by her logic.

She sighs again before she speaks. I think I’m putting a kink in her day, but I’m sort of proud of myself for it. “Okay look, if you get an Inquirer, she’ll assume you think she believes the shit they make up. If you get her In-Style magazine, she’ll assume you think she needs help in that department. Does she need help in that department?”

“Not as far as I’m concerned.”

“Okay well if you choose Cosmopolitan, you’re basically telling her you want to screw her and whether you do or you don’t, it’s just not the right choice to make for your first time.”

“Uh…this wouldn’t be my first time Princess.” I smirk.

“You’ve purchased magazines for girls before?”

“No.”

“Well then it’s your first time Mr. Magazine Virgin, so just take my advice and get People magazine. Info about celebrities, stories about real people and it’s not fully loaded with Oprah-spiration.”

Blog Tour : The Year I Met August


It was the summer before college and Murphy was ready to experience life, as any
girl should. During an outing with her sister she meets August. He's older, and more
experienced than she is.

She knew a relationship at this point was almost pointless. With an internship at the
end of summer and then college in the fall. Her schedule was full.

Murphy told herself that she could walk away from August without any
repercussions. If only her heart had listened. 

Walking away at the end of the summer was difficult. But they agreed to keep in
touch and see each other whenever possible. They still didn't put a label on their
relationship.

Eventually August showed his true self. He was so ashamed, he hid his secret from
her for as long as possible. Now that his secret was out, Murphy had no clue how to
handle it.

Will she stay with him so they can deal with it together? Or will it be too much for
her to take on?

I took a drink of my tea. “I was supposed to just walk away after ten days. I thought
that was possible. But clearly I was naĂŻve in thinking so.”

“Hey. Don’t beat yourself up.”

“What if all this is too good to be true? They say if it’s too good to be true then it’s
not real. I’m scared that August and I will drift apart, and I don’t know if I can handle
that.”

She reached over and covered my hand with hers. “Quit over thinking it. Just go with
it. Don’t you think you deserve to feel this way? He’s your first boyfriend. Yeah,
you’ll have doubts, even fights. But that’s why they invented makeup sex.” She
grinned.

“Melanie!”

She laughed. “Anyway, it’s good to sit and chat, but I should get you back.”

“Will you tell Mom hi for me? And that I love her. And that I’m sorry.”

Melanie stood and hugged me. “Of course. I got your back, always.” She flicked my
hair over my shoulder.

We loaded back into the car and headed back to the house. We talked candidly on
the way back, and soon, we arrived. “I guess I’ll say bye to you now. I don’t know if
I’ll stop at the house or not.” She exited the car and hugged me tight.

Cover Reveal : Chasing Destiny


Everything happens for a reason.

Kristin…

College, a breakup, and a friendship.

Doesn’t sound bad at all until you put all three of those together and you come out with the most life changing news of my life.
If what started off as an innocent, fun night caused me to lose the one person I wanted more than anything, I didn't know how I would ever get past it.

Carson…

I’d had my heart torn out and stomped on once before, and I vowed to never let it happen again.

But…

Enter Kristin. Fun, beautiful, full of life Kristin. I never expected a friendship with her, and I definitely didn’t expect her to completely change my life.

If I couldn't get past her mistake and learn to live with its outcome, then I would lose everything, and I didn't know if I could live with that.

Release Day : Desperately Seeking Epic


Paul James loved Clara Bateman.
Hating her would have been easier.
She was the past, and he was hell-bent on keeping her there.
Or so he thought...

Craigslist Ad: DESPERATELY SEEKING EPIC
You’re my father.
I don’t know much about you. I know your name is Paul James, you’re a thrill seeker, and once upon a time you did stunts and people called you ‘Epic.’
I’ve been told you don’t know about me. That it’s complicated.
But for me it’s simple.
Here’s the thing: I’m twelve years old…and I’m dying.
And as much as this could crush my mother, I have to meet you before I go.
In time, I’m sure she’ll understand. She’s still in love with you.
So, Epic, if you read this, please come back. You don’t have to be my dad. You don’t even have to tell me you love me or you’re sorry. Just come see me.
Patiently waiting, but running out of time,
Neena

“Are you insane?” Margot shouted, her voice echoing in his car’s speakers.

It was too late.

He had quit his job without a second thought. Cooper’s house was up for rent,
and he was twenty minutes from Daylesford, country Victoria. He was terrible at
goodbyes. Only because he never had to say them often enough. But when he
got the call that he got the job as operations manager at Scott Family Lavender
Farm, he decided to leave Warren Meadows and follow where life took him.

“I’m a very rational person,” he said, knowing that it would piss her off.

“A rational person doesn’t move three hours away to take a job that is a lot more
work than his last and a pay cut. Cooper, you are working for less money!”

He laughed. “It’s not about the money, Margie. It’s about trying something new. I
looked and Daylesford is really nice.”

“So is an Audi but you don’t see me blowing mine and Phil’s savings on one on a
whim,” she scolded.

“This feels right,” he said, eyes still on the highway.

“That’s it. You’re insane. Mum is going to go insane. And then she’s going to
make me go insane. What kind of heartless brother are you?”

“You’re being dramatic.”


“You’re being careless.”


“Daylesford could change my life,” he said.


She let out a short laugh. “Unlikely. But hey, it’s your life. Get ready to be bored
with it. Small town? Seriously, Coop?”

To his left, a sign caught his eye. He wasn’t sure why, but he indicated to the left.
He pulled over and put his car in park.

“Seriously. I gotta go. I’ll call you later. I love you, Margot.”


“I love you, too, Coop. I love your insanity sometimes. Not sure how I feel about
this particular time, though. I’ll call you later.”


Cooper hung up by pressing the ‘end call’ button on his steering wheel. He
looked into the side mirrors to see no car coming, and he slipped out of his silver
Range Rover. He rounded the car and stood in front of the sign with a smile.

Because he wasn’t wrong.

This.

This moment.

This decision.

Felt right.

Welcome to Daylesford, Victoria.

Blog Tour : Soulless


Our love is imperfect in the most perfect way. It is love done our way. Raw. 
Unconventional. Sexy as hell. Most importantly, it is honest to the core, or so I think. 
One little, white lie shouldn't do so much damage. Yet, it changes me forever.

The worst part is that Declan whispered that sweet nothing out of protection. My 
safety is on the forefront of his mind, especially since there are others who’d hurt 
me simply to get at him. I never think that he would be the one to cut me so deeply. 
And it all starts with that first prick—the night he saved my life.
