Lila was nineteen and going off to college, she hated to leave her family and friends behind. She had the perfect life, she had two best friends whom meant the world to her. She had a great boyfriend, she cared a lot for him and was worried about what would happen once she left for NYC and left him behind.

Although Lila and her boyfriend had been friends for years before dating, she suspected he was unfaithful. It hurt her more than she thought it would when she catches him in the act and found out it had been going on for months.

The one person she thought, would never be there for her was now her rock. This man she never thought she would feel anything for was now whom she admired, and wanted in her life. What was going to happen once she left?

Lila was excited when she seen a familiar face in NYC and had met new ones. It couldn’t get any better, she had met great friends and stayed in contact with the man she had fallen for.

Things change when tragedy leaves Lila feeling broken and not knowing where to turn, when she has lost two of the most important people in her life. What is she to do now that all her dreams where fading. Could she move on and be happy, or should she just give up hope.



Evan Martin was a country boy at heart with big dreams. He grew up in a small town in Utah, playing football since middle school. He thought his future with his girlfriend would be perfect, until she became pregnant and ripped his heart out.

Evan decided then he was never going to play football again and he wanted as far away from Utah as possible. He had always wanted to be a lawyer and decided to move to New York City to attend NYU and pursue becoming a criminal lawyer. He never wanted to look back at his past. The past that at one time was his future—his everything.

Evan had plans to go through his college years being a bachelor and playing the field.That was until a friend from his past Tatum Kelley walked back into his life. He had known and loved her all of his life, but she was involved with someone else. Evan was always there to pick her up when she needed him. But he knew she would just always be his friend. Although he wanted more, Tatum, couldn't leave her boyfriend the man she claimed to love.

Little did Evan know that he would meet Lila Carls and fall madly in love. The only problem was she was already in a relationship with another man, who was in the army.

Although Evan knew Lila was in love with another man, that didn’t stop him from stealing her heart as well. He knew he could never have all of her, but he wanted it all. After losing someone very close to him, he decided to act on his feelings he had developed for an attached Lila. Even though Lila had a boyfriend she acted on those feelings as well.


Once Lila breaks his heart after stringing him along and borrowing his love, he thought he would never find love at all. He was going to be alone forever. Years after Lila was married to another man and lived miles away, she walked back into Evan’s life and that one night of love and lust changes everything.

Evan, decided to put Lila in the past and move on. But Lila has a secret and it could ruin Evan’s future with his new love.



Hello all, my name is Delisa Lynn. I’m a new indie author of the Embracing Series. Embracing Love was the first book in the series, it released in November 2013. The second book Borrowed released January 2014. The third book releases on March 25th I’m currently working on four other books for the series. Today I’m doing a guest post.

Where I write, Inspiration & a Little Advice

I do all my writing/typing on my laptop. Sometimes I’ll write notes in a notebook and transfer them into my manuscript, or I will use the notepad on my phone. I currently write pretty much all over my loft, either the couch, the bed, or the floor. My office is a work in progress. When writing I have to have music. I cannot write without it. All my books have a playlist, so whatever book I’m writing I go through and make a special playlist and I will listen to ONLY that while writing. I cannot write when my husband is home, he drives me bonkers, it has to be quit just my music.

While writing, I normally have to have caffeine which would be favorite coffee Café mocha or Vanilla express. I’d never drank coffee until I became an author. I also have to have lots of water and snacks, normally fat free cheeze-it’s, and or chocolate covered pretzels.

  When I first starting writing my first novel, it was going to be a standalone. My intension’s where to never do a ‘series’. Well a book I was reading at the time, was a series. I was so drawn into that series and loved every book. I decided that was my inspiration to make the Embracing series. After changing some things around, I decided there would be three books in the series. I’m currently working on the third one, and I have been even more inspired by my fellow authors and my editor to make the series longer. What started as one novel, is now a seven book series. My first book was also just re-edited and formatted. I’m really excited that, I had that done.

  Don’t give up, follow your dream. You will have good reviews and you will have bad ones. I honestly take all the bad ones and use them to make my writing better. Of course they are harsh and hurt my feelings at first, but then I started thinking, that not everyone will enjoy my books. For every one person that hated it, there are two more that loved it. Just keep writing, and don’t let the negativity bring you down.


About Delisa


My name is Delisa Lynn, I grew up in Columbus Ohio, I am currently residing in Western New York. I love music, all generations, I do have a soft spot for country and 80’s hair bands. My favorite season is fall, I love the weather that time of the year, watching the leaves change and most of all being able to watch football. Go Bucks!! I am also a 49ers fan and New York Yankees fan. My favorite color is pink, not baby pink hot pink. My mother in law thought I was joking when I asked her to add hot pink in my wedding dress. I’m married to my high school sweet heart, we have been together going on nineteen years, sometimes I can’t stand him but I wouldn’t trade him for the world. I love you Jay. Our baby is a five year old spoiled Yorki named Sophie and yes she thinks she is human.


I have always had a passion for reading and writing. I remember being around eight or nine years old reading my Mama’s romance magazines. Then once I got a little older I was reading full length novels by the time I was thirteen. I remember my freshman year in high school, I told my English teacher I wanted to be a writer he laughed when I said I wanted to write love stories. So Mr. Gatti look at me now. Of course it took me twenty plus years to get here. I have a very vivid imagination and have always felt I should express it in my writing. When I’m not writing you can find me snuggled with my hubby watching a movie, or cuddled in the corner of the couch with my fur baby reading.

I hope you all enjoy reading my books as much as I did writing them
