JEM
Two injured, stubborn souls meet
unexpectedly. Will they save each other from their demons or have they been too
damaged for too long to see past the pain?
Growing up, all Jem knew was hatred and the pain from his father's fists. Taunted by the kids at school, he was alone, until a girl with carrot coloured hair sat next to him.
She smiled.
She listened.
She cared.

She was his angel, and he knew he’d love her forever. But Jem’s father hurts him in a way he never expected by taking him away from her.
Now eighteen, scarred inside and out, Jem trusts no one and has worked hard to ensure he'll never be helpless again. But then he runs into his angel. The only problem is she doesn’t recognize him. Jem needs her to remember him, to show him that their time together meant to her what it did to him. For once in his life he wants to have mattered to someone, to her.
Devon is attracted to the muscular, tattooed, pierced hottie standing by the pub quiz machine. That is, until he punches a guy clean across the bar for daring to touch him. She’s had her fill of violent men and intends to avoid this one at all costs.
Eggcerpt
from JEM
I pull back the duvet and try to make as
few movements as possible as I crawl in beside her and let the warmth from her
body and the duvet envelop me. Her red hair is splayed across my pillow. I
reach out and stroke my fingers through the silken strands. My pillowcase isn’t
getting washed again. It can smell of her forever so that whenever I lay my
head on it, I can pretend she’s with me. Maybe it will be okay to move a little
closer. I’m right on the edge of the mattress. If I fall out of bed I’ll wake her.
I scoot closer to her, close my eyes and inhale. She smells of roses. Maybe I
should get her some flowers. I picture myself holding a bunch of red roses and
chuckle to myself. Nah, I’m not the suave type. Maybe I’ll get a rose tattoo to
remind me of her scent.

Interview
with Jem
1.
Job?
I work at an amusement arcade, fixing the machines when they
go wrong, handing out change and that kind of thing. It pays my bills, it’s
local and the hours suit me.
2. Currently residing
in...?
Hemsby in Norfolk. I’ve got a trailer right by the sea.
There’s nothing like walking along the beach every morning. It keeps me calm.
3. Level of schooling, or
self-taught?
I had to quit school when I was small because my asshole of a
father moved us all at the last minute after someone reported him to social
services for child cruelty. He never enrolled me in another school. I taught
myself all I need to know.
4. Favorite food?
Don’t have one. I eat to live, I don’t live to eat.
5. Most important goal?
To get Devon to remember me and love me again. To take care of
her and show her that I never forgot her and never stopped loving her.

Abbott lives
in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.
She loves to write new adult romance about heroes who begin as the underdog and are protective of their girl.
She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
