Jessica Scott Giveaway

Thanks so much to Dawn for having me here today! I’ve been slammed lately trying to get my next book UNTIL THERE WAS YOU ready to go and it’s FINALLY moved to a point where I’m happy with it.

Contemporary Military Romance
From the war-torn streets of Baghdad to the bittersweet comforts of the home front, two wounded hearts navigate the battlefield of coming home from war in this explosive eBook original from newcomer Jessica Scott.

Keeping his men alive is all that matters to Sergeant First Class Shane Garrison. But meeting Jen St. James the night before his latest deployment makes Shane wonder if there’s more to life than war. He leaves for Iraq remembering a single kiss with a woman he’ll never see again—until a near fatal attack lands him back at home and in her care.

Jen has survived her own brush with death and endured its scars. And yet there’s a fire in Shane that makes Jen forget all about her past. He may be her patient, but when this warrior looks her in the eyes, she feels—for the first time in a long time—like a woman. Shane is too proud to ask for help, but for Jen, caring for him is more than a duty—it’s a need. And as Jen guides Shane through the fires of healing, she finds something she never expected—her deepest desire.

My first book took me almost five years to sell. My second book took me almost 8 months to write and over the course of that time, I’ve been on active duty in the Army serving as a company commander. People often ask me if I sleep and yes, I do sleep. But I developed a nasty case of insomnia while I was deployed to Iraq and I’ve never really slept right since. So I figure rather than mope about being tired, I might as well use the time wisely. 

Until There Was You is my second Coming Home novel. You don’t have to have read the first book to read the second. It’s almost as though I started two separate series with the two different books, which was quite accidental, believe me. It’s the story of two army captains: Evan Loehr and Claire Montoya, who both have a ton of emotional issues to work through. I write pretty angst filled stuff so it’s not a light and fluffy story, that’s for sure. The first book Because of You is about a wounded soldier and a breast cancer survivor. No light and fluffy there!

So much of my life has been touched by Iraq and the wars. I wanted to write stories about regular soldiers who still served and try to reach out to readers to help just tell our stories. I hope readers will enjoy Until There Was You because I really learned so much while writing it. It’s a tough story but there’s some really, ah, interesting humor interspersed. And the epilogue alone is so worth the entire read. I think it might be most favorite epilogue ever. There is talk of hot wax and shaving…I laugh every time I read it!

Thanks so much to Dawn for having me here today! I’m giving away a copy of BECAUSE OF YOU to one lucky commenter! Winner will be chosen on 7/21.

What is it about military men that intrigues you?
