Description
(Dear Readers, This is a novella-length prequel to my new, YA/NA serialized romance Everything To Me. It's a look at Dana & Peter during their junior year in high school and includes strong language. The prequel doesn't end in a cliff-hanger, but it's not a stand-alone novel, either. It's where they are spring of their junior year. Book 1 of the story begins in their senior year of high school and will be on sale Nov. 11, 2015.)
Peter: I've always felt like I was saving myself for her.
Not that way. Not sexually. Saving my life. Trying to be smart about what I do. Actually giving a damn. Because I matter to her. It’s something I’ve never had -- anyone who cares like she does -- and it’s absolutely amazing.
She’s amazing, this very good girl I can not have. Her dad made that clear the night he caught us together, but that’s not enough to stop me from me from wanting her.
Still, it would be a completely selfish move on my part to draw her any deeper into my life. I just heard my mom’s getting out of prison early. Not for good behavior. Because of overcrowding. Life was always crazy with mom. If she comes back, if she wants me back, my life turns to crap. I know that, and at sixteen, I don’t think I can do anything about it, except maybe run as far and fast as I can. Even Dana, my very good girl, won’t be able to save me.
(If you read The McRaes Series, you saw a bit of Peter & Dana as children in Bed of Lies and the novella, Welcome Lizzie, which is part of the box set Christmas with the McRaes)
THE McRAES Series, in order:

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Teresa Hill is a USA Today Bestselling Author whose books have been translated into eight different languages and sold in many more countries than she’s had the opportunity to visit. (So not fair.)
Growing up on a farm in Kentucky, she was a Daddy’s girl and a tomboy. She learned to drive on a tractor and loved to climb trees.
Her mother warned that one day – when she wanted to have pretty legs for boys -- she’d be sorry about all her scrapes and scars. But she has no regrets -- not even about the time she got a fishhook stuck in a very sensitive area or ended up seeing her own kneecap. (Not on an X-ray.)
Her husband found her while they were both working their way through college. (He was her boss.) She remembers thinking so clearly, “What are you doing here? You’re much too early. I have things to do.†But she couldn’t just tell him to go away and come back later, so she married him. He never tried to keep her from doing anything.
She wanted to live by the ocean, so after college, she sent resumes to a dozen coastal cities between Virginia Beach and New Orleans. It worked! She wrote her first novel on a little island off the South Carolina coast.
She and her husband now share their home – a brick ranch (for him) with a view of the mountains (for her) -- with a collie, a German shepherd and a 20-pound cat who informs her it’s time to stop working by plopping down on her keyboard. (He doesn’t care if her hands are still on it.)
She believes everything in life – the good or the very bad -- is better with someone you love, which is why she writes love stories.
