Hello! I'm Elyse, and welcome to the
blog tour for my new release, Whiteout! This is the first book in the
Seasons of Love series, and I can't wait to introduce you to Noah and Jason.
Noah Landers wakes up one day with a headache and no memory of where—or
who—he is. Jason, the man taking care of him, tries to fill in some of the
blanks: they’re in a cabin in Colorado on vacation, and Noah slipped on ice and
hit his head. But even with amnesia, Noah knows Jason is leaving out something
important.
Jason O’Reilly is sexy as hell, treats Noah like he’s precious, and
seems determined to make this the romantic getaway they’d apparently dreamed of
together. But Noah’s more concerned that he’s trapped alone with Jason in the
middle of a blizzard while his slowly returning memories bring hints of secrets
and betrayal.
Noah’s not sure what’s the truth and what’s a lie. But as he
learns who he is—and who Jason is to him—he’s forced to reevaluate everything
he believes about himself, about loyalty . . . and about love.
Now available from Riptide Publishing and Amazon.
Excerpt...
Chapter One
He woke up to gentle fingers carding through his hair, and a raging headache.
The fingers stopped their soothing movement as he groaned, and then there was a hand on his face and a shadow blocking out the light. He blinked once, twice, forcing his eyes to slowly open.
A man was looking down at him, his gaze filled with relief and tenderness. “Good, you’re awake.” The hand moved down his face and neck, feather-light touches, and then the man twined their fingers together. “I’ve been so worried. How are you feeling?”
He shifted, wincing as the movement caused the pain in his head to spike. “I don’t . . .” His voice was rusty, and he had to swallow a few times before continuing. “Head hurts,” he finally managed. “Where am I?”
“We’re in the cabin in Colorado. Do you remember what happened, baby?”
Baby? The word made no sense, meant nothing to him. His head ached fiercely as he struggled to find something to explain what was going on, but he couldn’t think past the stabbing in his head. The man was waiting for an answer, eyebrows furrowed with worry.
He tried to connect a name to the face staring down at him, but there was only static—and more excruciating agony. “Who are you?” he whispered.
The fingers around his tightened. “Babe? What’d you say?” The words were still soothing, but now there was panic laced in that soothing tone.
“Don’t know,” he tried again, voice tight through the pain, “who you are. Or where I am.”
“Noah, it’s me. Jason. Do you remember me?”
Nope, nothing. The names ran through his head, but there was no memory to attach them to. Nothing to connect Jason to, with his brown eyes and comforting voice. And he was Noah? The words were meaningless. He closed his eyes as his head pounded. Why didn’t he recognize his own name?

Thanks for the excerpt. I am always on the lookout for new authors. The blurb sounds interesting. Nothing like a bit of mystery to make your day.

Ooohhhh! What an interesting excerpt!
ReplyDeleteYou know what, Miss Springer? I've asked myself the question before that if I got myself into an accident & I had amnesia, would I forget my sexual orientation? And I always come up with nothing. Hard question, right?
If I was in Jason's place, I would be in pain as he was. And I'd be really shocked. Knowing that someone who matters to you suddenly forgets you & who knows if that person would ever remember the love he/she feels for you?
Thanks for coming by to Tam's Two Cents, Miss Springer! <3
