TITLE: A WHOLE NEW CROWD
AUTHOR: TIJAN
GENRE: YA
RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 18, 2014

Taryn grew up in a different world. Her boyfriend was a criminal. His older brother was part of a gang. They weren't great people, but they were her family. Then everything changes when she's sent to a new family in the neighboring town. New family. New friends. A new world. She's elated. This is her chance for a new beginning, but secrets start being revealed and Taryn learns her new life has some ties to her old one, ties that she's not happy about. Her new family might not have been the lucky break she thought she had.

His hand curled around the back of my neck, and he moved me so I was looking up at him. Our eyes caught and held. He was somber. “This scares you?”

“What you can do to me scares me.” I was being honest. It was freeing. Then I frowned. I had never been this open with Brian.

“You mean this?” His hand dipped down and went between my legs again. He paused, his fingers right there where I wanted them and he smiled. “Or this?” His other hand rested between my breasts. My pulse was racing, but my heart seemed to leap to meet his touch.

He felt it and his smile grew tender.

I swallowed. “Both. You’re real.” Real relationships. That’s what we had talked about. “That makes me want to shit my pants.”

He laughed. “Speaking of.” His fingers teased me and slid back inside. Then he grew serious again. “This shouldn’t scare you.”

“Spoken from someone who knows his family, who’s had the same friends probably most his life, who never had to move from home to home.”

He frowned, but said, “Spoken like someone whose father is a disgrace to me.”

I sat upright. “You’ve never said much about your family.”

“Neither have you.”

“My family was Jace and Brian. I’m trying to move on from them.”

He shook his head. “Seems like we’re both holding back.”

I took in a deep breath. That was the truth. That’s why I had been struggling since his party. It was time to let go and move forward.

He touched my bottom lip, drawing my attention back to him. “What are you thinking?”

I hesitated, then said, “About letting you in.”

Tijan started writing later in life, after she had already graduated college with a different direction in mind and a different degree under her belt. Hitting the brakes on that path, she taught herself how to write a good book and began posting at sites such as Fictionpress, along with Wattpad. After receiving such encouraging messages from readers, she self-published Fallen Crest High and has continued throughout the year. She continues to keep writing NA books! Connect with the author:
