Release Day : Beneath Broken


He’s a clean-cut cop who loves a good challenge.
She’s a smart executive with no interest in falling in love.
It won’t take long for the flames of desire to scorch them both, forcing them to either
douse the blaze, or succumb to the fire.

MASON

I don’t give up easily. My personality and training taught me that failure is not an
option, and getting the attention of the beautiful executive president Harper Mathis
is going to be my biggest challenge yet. But first I’ve got to find out why she’s so
withdrawn. A woman that stunning must have secrets and I’m going to find out
what’s hiding behind those baby blue eyes of hers. She’ll quickly see how much I
love a good game of chase.

HARPER

I’ve gone through hell and am not ashamed to admit that I’m broken. Damaged
goods. Used up and empty. I want nothing to do with men or love, especially not a
cop and a veteran – one who puts his life in danger every day. I’ve been there, done
that, and my heart has no interest in someone like Detective Mason Oliver. Even if
he's the hottest thing I’ve laid eyes on in a very long time. I get the feeling Mason
always gets what he wants, though. Well, he hasn’t seen my stubborn side.

EXCERPT & TEASERS


Harper

I had to tell myself to breathe. To inhale and exhale. To pull in air in order to keep living. The minute Detective Oliver left my office, I scrubbed my hands over my face and smoothed the few stray hairs back into my sleek ponytail. I shook my head and laughed. Someone that hot should not be a cop. He looked like he should have been an underwear model or some kind of movie star.

I swallowed hard and smiled a little to myself. This was a ridiculous notion, being so attracted to someone who was obviously not attracted to me, but just doing his job by interviewing me. Yet, he looked familiar to me somehow. I could swear I had seen his dark hair and alluring hazel eyes somewhere before. He had a small smear of dark, sexy stubble on his chin, and the olive colored dress shirt he wore not only matched his name, but made his eyes gravitate toward the green side of hazel instead of brown. His colleague, Detective Jenkins, had been checking me out – I wasn’t stupid and these things rarely went unnoticed by me, but Jenkins wasn’t someone I would have ever taken interest in. He seemed a little overconfident and flirtatious, and the gleaming silver wedding band on his left hand was not overlooked by me.

But Detective Oliver – he radiated a heat and confidence that woke me up a little.
This dead and desperate depression I’d been wallowing in for over a year had taken its toll on me. Between the under-eye bags and weight loss, I had little confidence that someone of his hotness and caliber would be remotely interested in me.

I bit back a smile as I thought about how proud my best friend would be of me for even having these thoughts. Today was Friday, and work emergency or not, I knew she’d be dragging me out to God knew where, as I had promised her I wouldn’t be spending another Friday night with a tub of Mint Chocolate Chip and reality TV.

I had to shake off the look of Mr. Oliver’s eyes and the way his dress shirt clung to his muscled arms and get back to work. Aside from the mountain of paperwork and endless emails, I now had to deal with police reports and insurance claims, and that was something that I needed a clear head and a no-nonsense attitude for. There was no time for lusty thoughts or lip-biting over a super-hot detective who probably had forgotten about me the minute he had stepped out through my shattered front door.


About The Author


I'm a California girl living in land-locked Colorado. Lover of red wine, wearer of
fabulous shoes, and a die-hard Niner fan, I'm also an editor at heart. I've written
over a dozen books and short stories that contain both contemporary/new adult
and paranormal romance that are a little bit badass, a little heart-wrenching, and
sorta funny (to me, anyway). Almost all my books usually contain law enforcement
or military undertones, since strong, brave, alpha men and women are my
weaknesses. When I'm not writing, I can be found working at a very strange day job,
which may or may not have some mild influences on my gripping stories - so
strange, in fact, I think I'll write a book about it one day. 

I'm also a proud member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA).

Excerpt 

I hadn’t realized Zane was finished until he sat the cup in front of me. He followed 
my line of sight as I looked away from the chair he’d been sitting in about six months 
ago when he held me as I cried. I closed my eyes, pushing that thought away. That 
girl was broken. She was damaged. That wasn’t me. Not anymore.

“Lili,” he whispered, and I cringed.

“Don’t call me that,” I said automatically, letting out my breath in a rush as the 
realization of what I’d said struck me. I opened my eyes, grabbing the mug. “Sorry.”

“What do you mean?” he finally asked as I sipped slowly on the hot liquid. It burned 
on the way down but I ignored it, needing the excuse not to answer that question.

“Just an automatic response. I’m fine,” I answered, blowing off what was happening.

“Would you stop fucking saying that?” he snapped, causing me to jump a little. 

Startled, I kept my eyes on the mug but neither of us moved as we waited for the 
other to take the next step. Finally, I lowered the glass to the table.

“What would you like me to say? Hmm?” I knew I should stop, walk away now and 
not make this worse, but I no longer cared. “You want to know why I told you not to 
call me that?” I looked up, meeting his eyes. “Because I’m. Not. Fucking. Her. I’m not 
that girl.”

“Yes, you are—“ he started but I cut in before he could finish.

“No.” I laughed but the sound was hollow. “No, I’m not. You see this face and you 
think I’m her but I’m not. You’d be closer to the truth if you called Kaitlyn by that 
name.”

He flinched back from the name and I waivered, the part of me still able to feel guilt 
worming her way back in as I watched his expression.

“I should go,” I said, shoving myself up and away from his grip as he reached for me. 

I felt out of control and that was one thing I couldn’t handle these days.

“No. Fuck. Don’t leave. I just…” He stood, pacing away from me for a moment and 
locking his hands behind his head. Everything about him was familiar, from the line 
of his back to his mannerisms, to his frustrations. All of it was calling out to a part of 
me I wanted to find again but I didn’t know how.

My eyes burned and I knew I was 
about to cry. I wasn’t ready for this. I’d thought I could handle it, I’d pushed myself 
to go to the roof and try with Zane because I knew I loved him. I love him so much. 
But I didn’t know how to do it anymore. I couldn’t seem to keep ahold of myself, of 
who I used to be. I was lost.


About The Author
Maegan despises writing about herself in the third person. She also hates touting 
her accomplishments like she thinks she’s really done anything special. (Aside from, 
you know, writing books.)

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’ll tell you what you need to know. I was 
born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I went back to school in my late twenties and 
studied Stage Production Technology. I now work full-time in the alterations shop of 
a major department store and part-time backstage in the various theaters around 
the area.

I’ve been an avid reader from a very young age and the top goal on my list of things 
to accomplish in my life was to write and publish a book. During the summer of 
2013, while working backstage on The Lion King, the idea of Lili was born and I 
began writing Perfectly Broken.
