Hello, My Wonderful Readers, 

First I would like to apologize for being slow on my updates. I am working with several other wonderful people to complete the ONCE UPON A TIME contest, deadline November 30th and with the holiday (Thanksgiving) I have been slow in getting my chapters to you. 

I have recently updated BEHIND THE EIGHTBALL. Which I can't believe is actually drawing to a close soon. 

I have also updated OVER THE MOON bringing Missy and the Spiders story to a close. 

I hope to get you more updates on SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME soon. 

However, in the meantime I give you FOREVER RUINED the book that follows Clara's and Benjamin's story from the novel FROM THE ASHES. 

FOREVER RUINED

Benjamin McAllister's past was riddled with intrigue, war, and death. It was no place for a woman, such comforts as marriage, family and love were not meant to be his but one woman changed all of that for him. 
      
Clara Bentley had won Benjamin McAllister's heart but the prize had come at a price. He loved her, he married her but he could not be by her side. His responsibilities to King and Crown were too great, leaving her often alone.
      
After her brother's wedding, and the events that took place (see From the Ashes) Clara was forever changed. Benjamin tried so hard to keep her from his world but it would seem that world found them.
      
Things have turned from bad to worse, as Benjamin is needed once more to serve both King and Crown, leaving Clara alone and on her own. She left him once hoping he would follow. Hoping to get his attention. Now she's leaving for a completely different reason. 
      
Will they find their way back to one another, or will they both remain... 
      
Forever Ruined.
