Hey all! I have a special cover reveal for you today from fellow NA Alley member Juliana Haygert! Enjoy :D
Breaking the Reins By: Juliana Haygert Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance Release Date: August 2013
Horses, mansions, tea parties, and lies are twenty-year-old Hannah Taylor’s life. To others, her family and her relationship with Eric is perfect. But she knows the truth. She lives it. After a fire takes her grandma’s life and kills her horse, Hannah’s immaculate life spirals out of control. Her father disapproves of her decision to run her grandma’s ranch instead of focusing solely on learning the family business; Animal Control brings her Argus, a mistreated horse that she can’t turn away even though she’s not ready for another horse; and her boyfriend, Eric Bennett, a world famous polo player, becomes possessive and authoritarian. Despite her best efforts to disguise it, Hannah grows wary of him. Then, Leonardo Fernandes struts onto the polo scene. A cocky rookie with a messy life of his own, he’s drawn to Hannah and isn’t afraid of showing it, even when Eric makes it clear she is his and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Hannah suffers for Eric’s jealousy. The abuse only gets worse when Leo steals the title of best polo player in the world from Eric. But the title isn’t enough for Leo. He wants Hannah too, and she can’t deny her attraction to him either. Somehow, she must find a way to break free from abusive Eric before he breaks every bone in her body.
While Juliana Haygert dreams of being Wonder Woman, Buffy, or a blood elf shadow priest, she settles for the less exciting—but equally gratifying—life of a wife, mother, and author. Thousands of miles away from her former home in Brazil, she now resides in Connecticut and spends her days writing about kick-ass heroines and the heroes who drive them crazy.

Thirty years in the future,
a sinister New York City exists in permanent darkness.A student at the secured
NYU, nineteen-year-old Nadine has visions of Victor Gianni, an imaginary guy
she has real feelings for. Afraid of being truly insane, she explains the
visions away as simple daydreams, but she can no longer deny them when she
bumps into Victor in real life. But this Victor doesn’t know her, and turns her
away. After the encounter, Nadine’s visions change to those of eerie fates,
gods she’s never heard of, demons with sharp claws they are not too timid to
use … and instructions.To discover if she’s losing
her mind, Nadine follows the vague directions—with the real, rude and reluctant
Victor—leading to a man who knows it all: Nadine can restore an ancient creed
by unveiling the clues on her visions, and bring sunlight and peace to the
world again. But that’s only if the demons and the other evil forces behind the darkness don’t stop her first.
I heard a heavy sigh and turned toward it. It was Victor. He was leaving the elevator down the hall and coming toward his grandma’s room. He had seen me and didn’t seem happy about it.
He wore faded jeans, a T-shirt, and a thin jacket. Too casual. I shook my head. The fact that my dream Victor and this real Victor were exactly the same physically, while their clothing styles and posture were the opposite of each other still boggled my mind.
He came to a stop before me. “You again.” There was disdain in his tone. I cringed.
“How are you?” I managed to ask and immediately felt silly. I had planted myself here in this hallway for over an hour waiting for him, and when he finally arrived, I didn’t know what to say. Though I really did want to know how he was. The last time I had seen him in the flesh, he’d been jerking on the floor of the hospital’s garage, in pain. “What was that … ah … before …?” I trailed off, hoping he would understand what I was referring to.
He shrugged, his sea-green eyes still staring at me with suspicion. “I don’t know. By the way, how do you know my name?”
I twirled a lock of my hair around my index finger as I considered my answer. I wanted to answer him. I wanted to be honest, but he would never believe me.
As if my answer would pop out of the walls, I scanned the hallway.
At the end of the corridor, a nurse left a room and entered another.
“The nurse,” I almost shouted, hoping he wouldn’t notice my sudden lie. I avoided his inquisitive eyes. “I heard a nurse calling you earlier that day.”
His deadpan expression hid his thoughts and didn’t let me know if he was buying it or not.
“What did you do to me last night?” he asked, crossing his arms. God, I hated how his voice and his posture were so guarded and mistrustful. I wasn’t used to it.
“What do you mean?”
“When you touched me, the shock and the pain went away. How did you do that?”
“I don’t know.” This time I wasn’t lying. I really didn’t know. He frowned, clearly still suspicious. “Seriously, I have no idea.”
His shoulders stiffened. “What are you doing here? What do you want?”
My eyes widened as I retreated a few steps, trying to avoid his toxic tone.
Yes, he looked like my Victor—the same voice, the same hair, the same face, the same mouth that had offered me smiles that had rendered me breathless many, many times. I wanted to touch him, to embrace him, to tell him everything was going to be okay. Maybe if I touched him, he would remember me and he would want to touch me too.
I came closer to him, looking deeply into those wary green eyes, my fingers itching to stroke his skin, to feel it smoldering under my caress. But I didn’t. He was like my Victor, but he wasn’t my Victor. The Victor from my visions would never speak to me like this. He would never snap at me. No, no. My Victor loved my company, loved to hear me sing, loved to embrace me and inhale my scent.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice croaking under the heavy pressure inside my chest.
Then, I walked away.

Hey everyone! The Twenty Something Fiction Writer is a stop on The Charge blog tour! Check out the except of this hot new release :-)
The Charge By: Sharon Bayliss Genre: New Adult Dystopian Romance Publisher: Curiosity Quills Press Release Date: March 2, 2013 Buy Now:Amazon | BN
When King of the Texas Empire kidnaps Warren's brother, Warren embarks into a still Wild West to save him. On his journey, he makes a discovery that changes his life forever—he and his brother are long-lost members of the Texas royal family and the King wants them both dead.
He gets help from an activist Texan named Lena, who's itching to take on the King and happens to be a beautiful firecracker Warren can't stay away from. Convincing her he's not one of the bad guys becomes harder when a mysterious energy stirs in his body, turning his brain into a hive of emotions and memories—not all his own.
A legacy of violence is not all he inherited from the brutal Kings of Texas. The myth that the royal family possesses supernatural powers may not be myth at all.
Gone are the days when choosing a major was a big deal. Now Warren must save his brother and choose whether or not to be King, follow a King, or die before he can retire his fake ID.
Excerpt:
Lena agreed with
the people who hated Texans on one count—Texans were like cockroaches, but only
because they didn't go down easy. Texans survived everything. And they never
forgot . . . anything. Remember the Alamo. Remember Goliad. Remember the
Mexican-Texan War. Remember the Gold War. And so on and so forth. Texans stayed
alive no matter what, through many years of devastating economic depression,
countless natural disasters, and nine wars, including the Texas Civil War, the
First and Second American-Texan Wars, and then, finally, a catastrophic bombing
of their capital fourteen years ago. If that meant they were like cockroaches, Lena
could live with that. Cockroaches existed long before the humans and would probably
exist long after. As the saying went, "At the end of time, all that's left
will be cockroaches and Texans."
The Texas Empire
had only one rightful destiny, freedom from the tyranny of Wilde royal family as
an independent democratic nation, and Lena planned to live to see it happen. In
fact, she would make damn well sure of it. She didn't care that as an
eighteen-year-old girl just out of the foster care system, she looked like she
belonged behind a pair of pom-poms instead of behind a podium. In fact, all
this worked to her advantage. People saw her as a sad, sweet, little orphan.
She used this quality to sneak up on big bad people her whole life, and
recently it had paid off big time.
The Texas Freedom
Campaign chose her as one of their spokespeople, a group of camera-friendly
young people with tear-jerking stories of survival who toured the United States
getting support for their home nation. Which meant she now got to work for the
TFC and earn an impressive college scholarship. In the fall, she would study Political
Science, with a minor in History, at the University of Virginia.
Lena rubbed her
bare arms. Her tank top and flip-flops made her self-conscious. She considered
herself a political figure, not a lost college co-ed. With all her big talk
though, right now, she had to admit that more than air conditioning had caused
goose bumps to erupt all over her arms. Lena didn't know why the
arrogant-looking guy in the black suit had called her safe; that couldn't be
further from the truth.
The United
States government and most of its people considered her a dangerous radical,
but that didn't bother her much anymore. The Blue Scare hatemongering of the
twentieth century had led many people, especially the stupid ones, to believe horrible
things about Texas; many thought that cattle would do a better job running a
free nation than Texans. That hate ran off her skin like water. But last week,
a whole new enemy came into her life—the only people less in favor of a free,
democratic Texas than the United States—the Wildes. The TFC wanted to help a
forgotten territory build a democratic government, but now the movement seemed
like a revolution against the Texas monarchy, and historically, those ended . .
. poorly. Lena liked nothing more than taking down the big, bad guy . . . the
bigger and badder, the better . . . but taking down the King? She loved a
challenge, but she also wanted to live to see nineteen.
