Today I'm super excited to be part of Kai Strand's cover reveal for Worth the Effort~Ella's Story. Welcome, Kai!
Hi everyone! My name is Kai Strand. I’m visiting Mary’s blog today to share the cover of my upcoming young adult contemporary romance novella, out next month. I’m super excited. After you read the blurb and excerpt, and see the great cover, I hope you will become excited too. Thanks for reading!
About the book:
Ella Jones is a coward. There is a teen
boy living in the alley behind her work and she is terrified of him.
Desperate to leave behind the
stereotypical and judgmental world she was raised in, Ella forces
herself to make a true connection with seventeen-year-old Ayden
Worth. As their friendship grows Ayden’s quiet, gentle ways teach
her true courage.
But there’s more to Ayden’s story
than Ella knows. When their worlds collide in the most unexpected
place, Ella feels betrayed. Will she find the courage to learn who
Ayden really is, or will she determine he’s not worth the effort?
Excerpt:
“Here. Two sugars and a shake of cinnamon, just how you like it.”
Our fingers brush as he takes the cup. The warmth of his are like a concussion bomb and make me flop gracelessly into my chair.
“Thank you,” he says.
The simple delivery is more powerful than if he’d fallen to his knees to kiss my feet. Every inch of his being and every nuance of his voice are appreciative of anything I do for him. I’m not going to lie. It makes me want to do a lot of things for him.
