Blurb for Tomorrow’s Lies:
When today's promises
become tomorrow's lies, how can you believe in anything . . . or anyone?
Jaynie Cumberland has
no idea how to trust again, so she’s given up on trying. Dumped in to the state
foster care system at age fourteen, Jaynie spent three years treading water,
just trying to get by.
Still, Jaynie always
knew she was broken in some way. After all, why did her own mother abandon her?
And following a harrowing experience at her first foster home, Jaynie’s worst
fears are confirmed, leaving her feeling worthless and shattered.
Now
Jaynie counts the days till she turns eighteen and can go out on her own. All
she wants is to be free of everyone and everything. But before that can happen,
she must make it through the next few months at one final foster home. There
Jaynie meets a gorgeous, albeit rough-around-the-edges, boy who is dealing with
the repercussions of his own turbulent past.
Flynn
O'Neill is immediately taken with this new, fragile girl. He becomes determined
to show Jaynie there is more to life than hurt and pain. Unfortunately, this
new home they live in, one that promised to be a haven for unwanted kids, is
more like a living hell.
So
what do you do when you’re trapped and there’s no way out?
What
if you fall in love and protecting the other person becomes the most important
thing in your life?
What
if something unthinkable happens, testing your love, and the stakes are raised
higher than ever? Will you come out unscathed? Can today’s promises be kept? Or
will they simply become more of tomorrow’s lies?
Tomorrow’s
Lies is a beautiful story of an all-consuming love and broken people building a
family out of nothing. It's about never giving up, even in the face of
adversity.

Grab the tissues!!! Wow this
is a heartbreakingly beautiful book. If you have ever been at a point in your
life where you think it can’t get any worse just remember it always can. But
sometimes you have to get through the bad in life to make it out on the other
side. I was hooked from the very first page. I read this in one sitting because
I had to know what happens.
Jaynie hasn’t had the best
life. She was thrown into the system at a young age by a mother that didn’t
want her and then sent to live in hell all over again. Now Jaynie is going to a
new foster home but now she has to deal with more issues that her last foster
home instilled. Jaynie isn’t looking for love or even a friendship. She is just
trying to count down the days until she turns 18 and can be free. But Flynn
turns her worlds upside down. She finds herself having feelings she never
thought possible again. But Jaynie soon realizes her and Flynn both need each
other in order to survive this new foster home.
Flynn’s life hasn’t been easy
either. He has his own issues and demons that he is dealing with. When I
learned of what happened to Flynn, it broke my heart. Flynn is living in foster
care with 3 other children and they all have a strong bond. When Jaynie shows
up, Flynn looks at her differently than the bond he shares with the others. He
wants to protect Jaynie and keep her safe. They are both once again living in
hell but now that they have each other they know things might be a little
different.
This book is an emotional
roller coaster ride. At times I held my breath and at other times I wanted to
crawl through my kindle and hold each and every one of them and tell them it
would be ok. I mean how much do they have to go through before they can catch a
break? I love the strong bond between each of the characters. They all connect
in a different way. At times this book was very hard to read but so worth it in
the end. I honestly can’t wait to see what’s in store next for each one of
these amazing characters!

EXCERPT #1:
Without opening my eyes, I lean into Flynn’s lingering
touch. He tucks more wayward hair behind my ear, pieces that weren’t even stuck
to my cheek. He just wants to touch me. “Is this all right?” he whispers.
“Yes.”
I open my eyes, and he smiles at me. I smile back at him.
He’s as excited by this development as I am. And, damn, it feels good. A million unsaid things are
expressed as we gaze into each other’s eyes. Maybe not a million, but many, and
all of them point to two things—I like Flynn, and he likes me. We are more than
friends, more than pretend siblings.
Time freezes, and I revel in the magic of the moment. But
alas, when he moves his fingers away from my face, the moment is lost.
“We should go in,” Flynn says, clearing his throat.
“Yeah, we should.”
In the house, neither of us mentions a word about what
happened out on the porch. There’s no need for discussion; we both know this is
huge. Flynn—a guy—touched me, and I didn’t have a meltdown.
Maybe there is
hope for me, after all. Like real hope that I can have a normal relationship. I
feel more like myself now than I have in a long time. So maybe this is the
family I needed all along to help me reach this point.
And then there are my feelings for Flynn. Maybe Flynn is
more than just the here and now. Maybe he’s my future.
SHORT TEASER EXCERPT #2:
“Today’s promises are nothing but tomorrow’s
lies. Isn’t that what you once told me?”
“I didn’t mean for it to ever apply to us,
Jaynie,” Flynn says.
“But, it could. We can’t predict the future.”
“Stop it,” he pleads.
I back off, whisper a gentle, “You’ll find me,
then?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Say it again.”
“Jaynie…”
Flynn scrubs his hands down his face, then tilts
his head back to stare up at the starless night. His eyes are wet, glistening.
He is breaking right along with me.
Thank you!!
