Promo Tour:: Keep Me Still by Caisey Quinn {Excerpt & Giveaway}
BOOK SUMMARY:
Layla Flaherty had the perfect life, or close to it.
Until a stranger gunned her parents down right in front of her, leaving her
with seizure inducing PTSD. After years of trying to pass as normal and failing
miserably, she resigns herself to being invisible. But new to town Landen
O’Brien sees her, and he likes what he sees. Much to Layla’s surprise, he
doesn’t freak out when she has a seizure in front of him. He does the exact
opposite, calming her until the tremors subside. But Landen has secrets of his
own. Secrets that both bind them together and tear them apart.
Scarred by loss, Layla leaves her hometown of Hope
Springs, Georgia, hoping to put her painful past behind her and start over in
college in California. When she runs into Landen at freshmen orientation, she
has a choice to make. Reinforce those steel walls she's built up around herself
or give the only boy who can keep her still a second chance.
Landen’s more than ready to tear down those walls but
this time when they come crashing down, they might bury her.

EXCERPT
“Looking for this?” he says, holding my lime
just out of reach. Ugh, my mouth is fighting the urge to pucker but it’s a
losing battle. Corin said lemons would be better but I hate lemons.
“Landen!”
“Tell me what you want first.”
“No,” I say, making a grab for the lime but
missing. Damn, he’s tall.
He
cocks a brow. “Why not? Scared?”
“You’re the one who should be scared,” I say,
trying to sound fierce like Corin but failing miserably.
“Oh, I was scared at first. Seeing you.” He
looks down at me, breaking through my defenses with the determined power of his
glare. “But I’m done with that now. Now I’m doing what I want. I just need to
make sure it’s what you want, too.”
“I want my lime wedge. Give it to me.”
“Oh, I will.” Landen snakes an arm around my
waist and pulls me against him. “Open up.”
I swallow hard, and for a second I consider
refusing. But I want that lime. And I want this man even more. Who knows if
we’ll ever be this daring with each other again? So I open my mouth and he
slips the lime in. And I suck it. Hard.
Heat pools between my legs, and I rub my thighs
together to try and calm myself, but it doesn’t work. This isn’t a feeling I’m
used to. It’s been a very long time since he had this effect on me. Maybe I
used to think about him this way before, once upon a time, but that was a
different girl. One who wanted love and marriage and all that Happily Ever
After nonsense.
When my last EEG results came back abnormal
right after he moved back to Colorado, I decided that girl could forget it. And
him. And now I’m looking up into Landen’s perfect face, and I want something
else. I want a physical connection. That kiss he owes me and then some. It
might break us both, but I’m done being the girl who cries and hurts and longs.
I want to be the girl who gets what she wants. For once. And the universe is
not my friend when it comes to giving me what I want.
So I’m going to take it.
