small town of Mexico, New York, Kara was an only child who was forced to find
ways to entertain herself. Playing make believe with her Barbie dolls and
stuffed animals was her first real taste of storytelling before she became old
enough to develop a love affair with the written word. In early 2010, Kara
picked up her very first erotic romance novel, and she was instantly hooked.
She loves to write contemporary romance, erotica, and young adult romance.
She's
the author of several erotic novellas, The Georgia Corbins, a YA romance, and a
handful of short stories. Kara is an active member of the CNY Writers Haven and

Today,
Kara resides in New Haven, New York with her husband, five kids, three cats,
and two puppies. When she's not reading or writing, she's thinking about
reading and writing. And when she's not doing that, she's spending time with
her family and friends.

BOOK BLURB: Teghan Jacobs didn't think
anything could be worse than learning she's pregnant by a man she's been dating
less than six months. Boy, was she wrong. Her mother, whose drowning in the
river of denial, refuses to take a side on the issue. And her overbearing, manipulative
father threatens to disown her and cut her off from her trust fund if she
doesn't have an abortion.
Donnie Marks couldn't be happier. The woman he loves, the woman he fought so hard to be with, is going to have his baby. Life has never been better. But when she shows up in his dorm room, sobbing and heartbroken, he learns the horrible truth of what happened. He vows to get revenge on the man who's responsible: Teghan's father.
Donnie Marks couldn't be happier. The woman he loves, the woman he fought so hard to be with, is going to have his baby. Life has never been better. But when she shows up in his dorm room, sobbing and heartbroken, he learns the horrible truth of what happened. He vows to get revenge on the man who's responsible: Teghan's father.
Donnie
watched as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He smiled. "Do I
make you nervous?"
"No."
He
studied her for a moment before cocking his head to the side and asking,
"So, why do you do that thing?"
"What
thing?"
"That
thing with your hair. You've done it every time I've seen you," he said.
Teghan felt the heat rising inside her as she
looked at her feet and back at him. His eyes glimmered with desire that, she
guessed, rivaled her own. She swallowed hard and reminded herself he was off
limits. She'd just made things right with Alex, and there was no doubt that if
she broke Alex's heart again, her brother, her father, and their friends would
never forgive her. It was something she wasn't willing to risk.
But
oh, how she wanted to feel him. To place her hands on his hard abs and feel his
muscles tense beneath her touch. As he approached, she watched his body,
seductively outlined by the light. Her breath caught in her throat when he
reached out, took her hand, and gently pulled her to him. It was as if they
were two halves of a mold that fit together perfectly. She sucked in a breath
and held it. Was he going to kiss her? A small part of her wished he wouldn't,
while the rest of her screamed for it.
Donnie
cupped her face in his hand, caressing her cheek with his thumb. Teghan's eyes
fluttered closed at the feel of his lips coming close to hers. It was like the
time she'd stuck her finger in a light socket; a jolt of searing hot energy
shot through her body, but then eased away, leaving her stunned and aroused.
"We shouldn't do this," she whispered, her lips brushing against his
as she spoke.
"Do you want me to stop?" he said.
Waterfalls
Don't Die
By
Kara
Leigh Miller
Waterfalls
don't die….that's the same phrase I heard repeated each time someone heard the
title of my book, Death of a Waterfall.
I
know waterfalls don't die.
So,
why did I decide to title my book that? Because it's all symbolic. My heroine,
Teghan Jacobs has been fascinated with waterfalls ever since a childhood family
vacation to Niagara Falls. Her father, Rob, installed a waterfall in their
backyard, which is where Teghan spent a lot of time as a child. It's also where
she goes anytime she has a problem or just needs to think. They are her safety
net, her one constant thing that never changes or dies. However, at the end of the book, her father
tears down her waterfall, leaving her angry, sad, hurt, and betrayed. Hence,
the death of her waterfall.
