SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! - Another New Life - A Cover Reveal #Books #ComingSoon #Giveaway

Today, I (briefly) interrupt our regularly scheduled 2014 A-to-Z Challenge program about Why We Make Movies for a cover reveal of "ANOTHER NEW LIFE," the debut novel by Sydney Aaliyah Michelle. To celebrate the upcoming release of this new adult contemporary romance novel, here's an early peek at what readers can expect, along with a giveaway from an author who loves flicks like "THE AVENGERS." Check it out! Also stay tuned for my latest #atozchallenge post - for Letter I, which will be live in a few hours.

Title: Another New Life

Author: Sydney Aaliyah Michelle

Publication Date: June 2, 2014

New Adult Contemporary Romance

**This book contains adult subject matter. Not intended for young readers.**

Cover Design by: (C) Arijana Karčić, Cover It! Designs

Miranda Preston is a walking contradiction. Beautiful on the outside, but, insecure, haunted and damaged on the inside. Despite these contradictions, she’s ready to start Another New Life.

When her talent wins her a piano scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin, Miranda arrives on campus determined to experience everything college has to offer and to keep her secrets in the past where they belong.

An easy task, until the first guy who catches her eye happens to be someone, she’s known all her life.

Eight years have passed since the last time Miranda and Troy saw each other. He reminds her of the best and worst times of her life, but she can’t think about one without dwelling on the other. As they grow closer, every day their attraction reminds them they are no longer kids.

The epic romantic love story that is Miranda and Troy seems to be destined for a happy ending, but Miranda knows it's only a matter of time before her secret is discovered. A secret that will not only destroy their relationship, it will destroy Troy, too.

Can Miranda focus on her future with Troy while preventing her past from tearing them apart all over again?
