Guest Post and Giveaway Too Close: The Beauty in Between (Beautiful 0.5) by Lilliana Anderson

Published July 30th, 2013

Description:

Before A Beautiful Struggle, Katrina and David's friendship was a bond that couldn't be broken.

Starting with that fated moment when David carried Katrina to the emergency room, we travel back through David's memories as he waits to hear that his best friend and the one woman he truly cares for is going to survive...

“I can’t lose her. You don’t understand how important she is to me,” I ramble. I guess I’m in shock because all I can think about is the sight of all that blood over Katrina’s beautiful face. “She’s my world. I can’t lose her.”

This is book one in the novella series 'The Beauty in Between' the companion series to Lilliana Anderson's best selling 'A Beautiful' series.


GUEST POST
How is a prequel born?

When I released A Beautiful Struggle, it was supposed to be a stand-alone book. But, when it took off and I started getting reader comments, the most frequent ones were – What happens next with Elliot? And I want to know more about David and Katrina’s friendship.

Firstly, I wrote the sequel, A Beautiful Forever, to answer the most pressing question about Elliot, and then I started working on readers’ desire to know more about David and Katrina.

I really felt that I had to give David more of a voice, because in A Beautiful Struggle, everything was told from Katrina’s POV. We never actually got to see his side of things.

In Too Close, I got to introduce readers properly to the David I created, the one that cares so much for Katrina, he is petrified of risking their friendship for the sake of his feelings.

Based on feedback so far, I think readers are loving the chance to spend time with him. Although, now they are asking for more!

Luckily, I have one more story in the works featuring David and Katrina – Commitment – that will be released late October and will hopefully give everyone their fill.

Thank you, Liliana

Katrina Mahoney has a very full life attending university to study a law degree, training for triathlons and now she is working part time as well. She couldn’t possibly find time for a relationship, especially after her last one ended so catastrophically.

Right now she is content focusing on work, study and training while hanging out with her best friend David Taylor, a womaniser with a heart of gold that would do anything for Katrina – except watch her get hurt again.

That is, until the dashing Elliot Roberts, a junior solicitor from her work, shows an interest in her despite their office’s ‘No Dating’ policy.

Katrina struggles with following her heart or following her mind and has trouble seeing where her heart truly lies.

Description:

After ruining the best relationship he has ever had, Elliot's life takes a turn for the worse and he isn't happy with who he's become.

Deciding to spend three months in the UK on a working visa, in a bid to find himself again, he boards a plane to London. During the flight he meets Paige, a fellow Aussie with a closed heart and a lot to hide.

The closer he gets to Paige the more he's sure that she's hiding something. Will it be enough to send him running? Or does he love her enough to fight this time?

About the author:
Bestselling Author of the A Beautiful Series, Alter and the Confidante Trilogy, Lilliana has always loved to read and write, considering it the best form of escapism that the world has to offer.

Australian born and bred, she writes New Adult Romance revolving around her authentically Aussie characters as well as a biographical trilogy based on an ex-Sydney sex worker, named Angelien.

Lilliana feels that the world should see Australia for more than just it's outback and tries to show characters in more of a city setting.

When she isn't writing, she wears the hat of 'wife and mother' to her husband and four children.

Before Lilliana turned to writing, she worked in a variety of industries and studied humanities and communications before transferring to commerce/law at university.

Originally from Sydney's Western suburbs, she currently lives a fairly quiet life in suburban Melbourne.
