Crawling Over the Pages: Book Tour: Four Letters by Lisa M. Harley

In Four Letters you’ll learn all about three couples...

Sterling and Skye

Skye is a spoiled little rich girl, who has never had to do more than bat her eyelashes at her father to get whatever she wanted. When she received her degree, her plan was to open an art gallery catering to the uber rich. The last thing she needed was a man getting in her way. But, there’s just something about Sterling. He’s an alpha male that gives her what she’s always craved, the ability to let someone else take control. Could Sterling be the man Skye needs to help her relinquish control and change her spoiled ways?

Asher and Lilly

When Lilly was a small child, her parents were killed in a fire. Since the loss of her parents, she’s never truly felt loved or safe. Now that Lilly’s dream of becoming a teacher has come true, she worries that her dream of finding Mr. Right might not. That all changes the day that Asher literally runs into her in the park. Could Asher be the man to make Lilly feel safe and give her the happily ever after she’s always dreamed of?

Tanner and Adlee

To say that Adlee had a rough childhood would be quite the understatement. When she was barely ten years old, her mother killed herself, leaving Adlee in the care of her stepfather, Paul. Paul was not a nice man. When Tanner walked into the café she was working at and witnessed the way Paul treated her, he knew he had to step in. Could Tanner be the man to prove to Adlee that she is worthy of love and help her regain her self respect?

This soiree was turning out like so many before it - scratch my fingernails down a chalkboard boring. Just another night for me to schmooze with my father’s friends. Well they were not really friends, more like acquaintances and business contacts. Speaking of which, an older man with white hair that was styled in a rather delectable - gag me - comb over, an unimpressive fake tan, and an impressive real Rolex was trying his damnedest to flirt with me. Much to his dismay, all he was succeeding in doing was making my skin crawl. The thought of this man laying his hands on me in an intimate, or any other, way completely disgusted me. Nonetheless I listened to him and smiled and nodded at all the appropriate times. To the unknowing observer it probably looked like I had some interest in what he was saying. In reality that couldn’t have been any farther from the truth.

As I was listening to this old man pontificate on issues I had absolutely no interest in, something caught my eye. Actually, someone caught my eye. He was tall and lean wearing a black tuxedo with a silver vest and bow tie. His dark hair was slicked back and perfectly styled, glistening under the candlelight. The eyes are what made my head snap in his direction. I’d never seen eyes that blue. They were so intense and …oh my god…they were absolutely breathtaking. Even through his tux I could tell that he was rather muscular. It was hugging him in all the right places.

Once my thorough inspection of this mystery man was complete, I noticed he was standing at the bar conversing with some Botox laden fake Barbie who was pulling out every weapon in her arsenal to get his attention. Then it happened. Ever so slowly his eyes found mine and it took everything in me to catch my breath. The beautiful mystery man stopped talking to the aforementioned Barbie and after shooting me a smile that would bring Mother Teresa to her knees, he started to slowly saunter toward me. Yes, the man was sauntering and what a fucking sexy saunter it was. With the corner of his mouth still raised up in a small grin, he nodded his head in my direction. I raised an eyebrow and gave him a small smile back.

As he continued to cross the room toward me, my heart skipped a beat. He wasn’t beautiful, no he was so much more than that. If I had to label it I would say he was exquisite. At that moment I decided something - I wanted this man and I was going to have him. When Skye Buchanan wants something - she gets it. The decision had been made, before the night was over Mr. Exquisite would be taking up residence in my nice warm bed.

Before he could get to me, I politely excused myself from the creeper and closed the distance between Mr. Exquisite and myself. When he reached out and placed his hand on my elbow a shiver traveled throughout my entire body. Looking into his eyes I could tell he felt it too. When he finally spoke his voice was a deep panty-melting baritone.

Sky Buchanan is a socialite who grew up in a privilege family and has a way of getting what she wants. She may have been lucky to be born with a silver spoon but she sure as hell got cursed in terms of her parents. Her mother us a sweet person who married someone who cares more about his investments than his wife. Then she meets Sterling Smith whom she never thought would make her change her perception of love. He made her believe in love, in happily ever after. What started out as a hook up soon became a perfect match that led to marriage. But just like any other couples who fell in love, some aren’t lucky to maintain a connection. All the constant communication vanished. Then one day, Sterling just disappeared and left her a letter explaining what he has done.

Lilly is a teacher who really wanted to have a family of her own. Since Mr. Right has taken a detour and they still hadn't meet, she’s contented on having to concentrate on her pupils. Just when she was ready to accept that she may not have her own happy-ever-after, the gorgeous runner whom she always watches in the park, suddenly approaches her and asks her for a date. It turned out that Asher Brown was also eyeing her from a distance. Their relationship progressed really fast until they had their own family but due to Asher’s job as a pharmaceutical sales man. It required him to be gone a lot because of travelling. But her Mr. Right slowly turned into Mr. Always-Gone. Until one day, he completely disappeared and left her a letter explaining what he had done.

Adlee grew up in an abnormal family environment. What she thought as a blessing in the form of a stepfather turned out to b a monster. She was so used to doing what she was asked to do that she doesn't have a choice but to accept what she’s been handed. Until, her knight in shining armor came barreling towards her when her supposed-to-be boyfriend assaulted her after she walked to him. That day changed her life forever and for that she’s forever indebted to him. He helped her get back to her old self, setting her up for an appointment to see a psychologist and rebuilding her life until one day h realized that he’s also falling for her. They've developed an intact relationship despite that fact that Tanner Jones spends a lot of time working out-of-town. But then, one day, a person who belonged to Adlee’s past started bothering her again and Tanner made a decision.

This part will introduce Daniel Ryder and Becca. They were best friends and have been each other’s rock ever since. How they entered the picture? It’s for you to find out and if you have read this book, I’m pretty sure you have realized who they are. How are all the characters interconnected? Do they have relationships? What’s really the truth? Is it something shocking?

The PLOT. It’s really unique and as a reader, I really don’t know how it will turn in the end. Yeah I’ve had some realizations in Part 4, but Part 5 messed up my head. Who’s going to end up with whom in the end? Will all the characters have a happy-ever-after? Or will all of them end up miserable? Or will at least one of them end up happy and contented?

I started writing in October 2012 when a group I am a member of had a prologue contest. I didn't win the contest, but everyone who read my prologue asked for more of my story. I decided I had to finish it and get these characters that were in my head out on paper. During the writing process it became clear that these characters had a lot to say. So I realized my story was really a series:
