First love and second chances with DON'T LET GO...Giveaway!

Hey everyone!  It’s Sharla back again!

My latest novel, DON’T LET GO, is Jules and Noah’s story, about learning to step outside your own rules and rise above the secrets that eat away at you.  It’s about first love and forgiveness.  It’s about second chances.

Here’s a little snippet from DON’T LET GO…

One of his hands went to my face as if on autopilot, and I shut my eyes tight as the warmth of his hand against my cheek and hair nearly broke me.  I could smell him, feel him, and I didn’t dare open my eyes to look at him.  He’d see it.
“Noah, don’t,” I whispered through broken breaths.  I reached up to pull his hand away, but then the other side of my head was cradled as well, and all my strength melted away.  My grip on his hand stayed where it was, and I could feel the slight tremble.  Or was that me?
I didn’t open my eyes until I felt his thumbs move across my cheeks, wiping away tears, and it hit me in the chest like a wrecking ball.  He looked like someone had beaten the crap out of him from the inside.  His eyelids were heavy, like a man who hadn’t slept in days.  The turmoil radiating off of him was palpable.
  That, plus the feel of his hands in my hair, the closeness of his body, so close I could feel him breathe, it was almost too much.  His eyes went to my mouth, and for a second it was like ropes were pulling us together.  I could nearly taste him.

Yum, huh?  LOL!

For this giveaway, tell me the name of your first love.  Just a first name, that’s all.  You know you remember it, we all do.  :)  Random commenter will be picked to win a $5 e-gift card to Bath & Body!  Great for you or a mother in your life! 

See you back here one more time tonight before it ends at 9pm EST.
