Eighteen year old Amy’s surname may be Hope, but her life contains anything but. She drinks, she sleeps around, she cuts… anything to help her escape the agonizing existence growing up between her mother’s drunken wails and her father’s fists. But nothing works. There is no escape. And Amy wants out… Enter Richard Lewis – the doctor responsible for saving Amy’s life after her drink and drug-fuelled suicide attempt. Thanks to his own hidden demons, Richard is drawn to Amy and her situation, and despite the incessant warnings from both his own mind and his jealous ex-lover Joanna, he feels compelled to help her. But how will Amy feel when she discovers Richard’s attachment to her is born out of his own guilt? He was her last resort – her last chance at being saved. Can anybody save Amy, or has she finally reached the end of a very long, torturous road? (Not recommended for younger readers due to language, scenes of self-harm and sexual content)
Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children (and dog!). She is the author of two stand alone novels, Inevitable and Saving Amy, and is currently having fun working on her first series with book one, Take My Hand, to be released in October. When not reading or writing Nicola can usually be found carrying out her daily slave duties – cleaning, feeding the mob, cleaning a bit more etc… or watching The Twilight Saga for the fifty-billionth time :-)
20 Fun, possibly weird, definitely useless, facts about me!
1.
I don’t
like even numbers – Not good when eating biscuits; one isn’t enough, two is
even so I couldn’t possibly stop there… so three it is. Unless I’m being a
badass, then it has to be five!
2.
I still
eat like a child. Orange juice, chicken nuggets and fries for me any day over
steak and wine. I won’t eat yogurt with ‘bits’ in and the only sauce I’ll
entertain is ketchup. And tea and coffee? Blurgh…
3.
I could
easily recite the entire script from every Twilight movie.
4.
Edward
Cullen was my first book boyfriend… The first of many I might add ;-)
5.
I’m a
total Gleek and proud!
6.
I have
quite a vast collection of tattoos and hope to be almost covered by the time
I’m a wrinkly old lady.
7.
I couldn’t
possibly get through a day without a bottle of Pepsi Max.
8.
I married
my high school sweetheart when I was 17 – No I wasn’t pregnant, and yes we’re
still together!
9.
My favourite
food is mashed potato.
10. My favourite colour is purple.
11. I HATED school – like seriously detested the place. There is no way I’ll
ever agree when people say they’re the best years of your life.
12. I collect Barbie dolls.
13. My favourite band in the world is The Script.
14. The thought of a world without Netflix makes me
sad.
15. My favourite TV show is The Vampire Diaries
(Team Damon all the way baby!)
16. If my kids ever ask – I’m secretly the pink
Power Ranger ;-)
17. I was born on New Years Eve, which means the
whole world celebrates my birthday with me!
18. My comfiest item of clothing is my leopard
print pyjama pants (I wear them so often my husband keeps threatening to throw
them out!)
19. When I was ten years old I decided I wanted to
be American and vowed to only ever speak in an American accent from that day
on. I’m not sure how long that lasted, but you can rest assured I’m not still
pretending now ;-)
20. If you’ve made it to number 20 then I think
you’re awesome!
