Guest Poem LISA SCHROEDER author of FALLING FOR YOU @Lisa

Thank you for the warmth

by Lisa Schroeder

A book is read.

A passion ignites.

Sparks fly,

and through words

on twitter or tumblr,

and in hallways

or family rooms,

flames begin to dance.

They may start slowly,

but book bloggers and

teachers

and librarians

and readers

fan the tiny flames

and soon the fire spreads.

There is a wind that

whispers,

“Read this,

read this,

you should read this.”

A good book

warms the heart.

People who share

that warmth

light the world.

Book Description

Release Date: January 1, 2013

Affection turns to obsession—and love means both devastation and redemption—in this gripping novel from the author of I Heart You, You Haunt Me.Rae’s always dreamed of dating a guy like Nathan. He’s nothing like her abusive stepfather—in other words, he’s sweet. But the closer they get, the more Nathan wants of her time, of her love, of her…and the less she wants to give.

As Rae’s affection for Nathan turns to fear, she leans on her friend Leo for support. With Leo, she feels lighter, happier. And possessive Nathan becomes jealous. He’s not about to let her go. And with danger following her every move, Rae must fight for the life and love she deserves if she’s going to survive.
