#TeaserTuesday- Erica Alexander’s BECAUSE OF DYLAN
Congratulations to LSF Writers member Erica Alexander on her new release. BECAUSE OF DYLAN, #3 in Erica’s Riggins U series, was released on June 30. Here’s a little teaser for it!
Whoever said the truth will set you free is lying. The truth won’t set me free. It will destroy me.
Our relationship is forbidden.
I should stay away.
He’s a teacher.
I’m a student.
He lives by a code of ethics and truth.
I hide behind lies and misdirection. I have good reason to.
My childhood was a living nightmare.
It damaged me, hurt me, destroyed me.
No one knows what I’ve been through.
And I won’t let anyone know.
Especially not him.
Cold. Calculating. Judgmental. Professor Dylan Beckett.
But there’s something about the way he looks at me…
The way I feel when his eyes are on mine…
And I wonder what will happen if I open my heart.
Is a happily ever after ending even possible for someone as broken as me? Or will the truth destroy everything I worked so hard for?

Anastasia Pollack’s son Alex is dating Sophie Lambert, the new kid in town. For their community service project, the high school seniors have chosen to raise money for the county food bank. Anastasia taps her craft industry contacts to donate materials for the students to make Christmas ornaments they’ll sell at the town’s annual Holiday Crafts Fair.
At the fair Anastasia meets Sophie’s father, Shane Lambert, who strikes her as a man with secrets. She also notices a woman eavesdropping on their conversation. Later that evening when the woman turns up dead, Sophie’s father is arrested for her murder.
Alex and Sophie beg Anastasia to find the real killer, but Anastasia has had her fill of dead bodies. She’s also not convinced of Shane’s innocence. Besides, she’s promised younger son Nick she’ll stop risking her life. But how can she say no to Alex?
