Grave Bound Book Release Giveaway!


I’m happy to help celebrate the release of Grave Bound by T.R. Graves! This is an adult contemporary novel with a paranormal twist. Do you love smoldering scenes and tantalizing characters? Welcome to your next read!

Some secrets follow you to the grave. Others send you there.

Emily Riddle has lived her entire life inside a patriarchal commune led by her father. There are many rules, but the most important one, ‘keep it in the commune’, is the most difficult for her to follow… especially since the only people willing to champion her cause live on the outside.

When Emily learns her father has promised her to Lorenzo, a perverted man who has plans for her that extend well beyond marriage and kids, she rebels. Regardless of the consequences, she refuses to marry someone who’d rather beat her than caress her.

A day of hooky that starts out as a tiny act of defiance – sneaking out of the commune for a swim – turns into a day filled with hope. After spending time with Levi, a man camping near the lake, she finds what true romance looks like and catches a glimpse into a future that’s filled with love and admiration rather than hate and submission.

That tiny peek is enough to change the course of Emily’s existence and makes it nearly impossible for her to go back to the commune and pretend she’ll ever be able to tolerate the life chosen for her instead of the life she longs for. One that includes Levi.

Fighting to escape the commune, its leaders, and her fiancé proves to be more dangerous than Emily expected. The secrets she knows, as the leader’s daughter, will either follow her to the grave or send her – and Levi – there.

=======================================================================

          Licking the corner of his mouth and driving me insane, Levi is a little breathless when he asks,
“Emily, would you mind terribly if I kiss you?” His words are low and seductive, but I hear them perfectly. 
          He and his beauty hypnotize me, and I feel myself nod. I want him to do just that so bad that I almost lean over and kiss him myself without asking for permission.
          Levi does not move. His voice is husky when he says, “I don’t want you to kiss me because I’m a man, and you’ve been conditioned your whole life to do whatever men tell you to do. I want you to kiss me because it’s what you want. Do you want to kiss me, Emily?”
           He reaches up and runs his thumb across my lower lip. My breath hitches with his touch. The way he asks me if I want to kiss him and the touch that promises there can be more—so much more—is sexy enough to wake my senses and send hormones crashing through every cell in my body. I nod again. This time with more enthusiasm.
          Levi’s lip quirks up, and he leans over, very gently touching his lips to mine. Seconds ago, I’d have thought the touch of his finger to my lips to be the most amazing feeling in the world. With his lips on mine and his heat pulsing through me, I know there’s no comparison. I’m having emotions I never knew existed. I’d read about these passions my entire life, but I’d never once suspected a kiss could be so warm… so moist… so exciting. But, that’s exactly what it is with Levi. Everything with him is exhilarating and new.
