About The Author
Born and raised in Iowa, d. Nichole King writes her stories
close to home. There's nothing like small-town Midwest scenery to create the
perfect backdrop for an amazing tale.
She wrote her first book in junior high and loved every second of it. However,
she couldn't bring herself to share her passion with anyone. She packed it away
until one day, with the encouragement of her husband, she sat down at the
computer and began to type. Now, she can't stop.
When not writing, d. is usually curled up with a book, scrapbooking, or doing
yet another load of laundry.
Along with her incredible husband, she lives in small-town Iowa with her four
adorable children and their dog, Peaches.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. A man who never reads
lives only one." --George R. R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

The Spirit Trilogy
Carrie Reese doesn’t believe in ghosts—until she falls in
love with one.
From the moment he walks through the door, a cool breeze surrounds Carrie. She
knows Lucas is too good to be true...and he is. Because he’s dead.
Devastated over her parents’ divorce, 17 year-old Carrie is spending the summer
with her grandparents in Villisca—the creepiest town in Iowa. Even though it
makes her skin crawl, Carrie doesn’t regard the haunting of the infamous Moore
House to be anything more than superstition.
Lucas, however, knows exactly why the mysterious farmhouse should be avoided.
But that’s not what brings him to town. As a ghost, he cannot cross over into
the afterlife until he finds his soul, and there’s someone in Villisca who can
help. Instead, he finds Carrie. And there’s something about her that draws him
in. Why didn’t he find her sooner? Like, when he was alive?
When the force of their love disrupts the containment spell around the Moore
House, the rift to Hell inside the attic opens, releasing the demons. Since love
isn’t meant to be shared between the living and the dead, the demons target the
lovers, intent on dragging them to where their souls will face eternal
destruction.
Sometimes there’s more at risk than merely dying.
They vowed to never return.
Their lives depend on it. With last summer behind them, Lucas and Carrie think
they’re safe.
Only the Moore House isn’t through with them.
When Lucas receives bad news, the search for the elusive half-demon who holds
the key to Lucas’s death becomes first priority. The creature might be Lucas’s
only shot at finding his soul. Problem is he doesn’t want to be found.
Dead ends and blocked attempts leave them wary.
Lucas seems to be fading away. His eyes no longer glow, his skin pales.
Exhaustion consumes him, leaving him distant when he’s with Carrie. Not knowing
what’s happening to him kills her.
From all around, shadows creep in, and there’s nowhere to hide.
Then, a mysterious stranger suddenly appears in town and unlocks a deadly
secret from Lucas’s past. When the Moore House becomes their only escape—
No one is safe.
Love Always Series
Dear Diary,
Leukemia’s been my life since I was eleven. Now, six years later, I want my
life back. Only I’m not sure what that is. The test results came back today.
22,000. Which means I’m officially out of remission—again. I have three
options:
1) Another round of chemo.
2) A super-new experimental drug.
3) Dump it all— forget the meds and treatments and enjoy the time I have left.
I think I know what I want. Then, in walks Damian, changing everything.
I mean, everything…
He’s got his own set of issues. It binds us together, you know? We understand
what it’s like to lose what matters most in seconds. Still, the last thing I
need is to have someone else to crush if I can’t fight hard enough. And the
last thing he needs is someone else to grieve.
Never mind. I’m down to two options now.
Somehow I know that whichever one I choose, the result will be the same. With the
sand in my hourglass seeping to the bottom, I hope there’s enough left to show
Damian that life’s worth living.
Worth fighting for. Worth dying for.
Love Always,
Kate
Suicide.
That’s what being with Kate Browdy is. She’s sick. And now my father has knocked
her out because her immune system can’t deal with this virus. Seven years of
fighting leukemia is destroying her.
I can’t deal with this.
I’m not strong like her.
Survival instinct kicks in, so I do what I know—I call Ellie. Numb the pain.
But there shouldn’t even be pain. What is it about this girl?
She’s not good for me, and I’m not good for her. I’m a freaking disaster, and
Kate deserves better.
Maybe it’s time to cut my losses.
They say time heals all wounds.
What a load of bull. It’s been four years, and Kate’s voice still echoes in my
mind.
Every. Damn. Day.
I numb her memory when it taunts me. In college, I drown her out with booze and
easy lays. I can’t do what she asked.
I can’t let her go.
Not even when Lia shows up, freaking ripping what’s left of me to shreds.
Caring about someone isn’t worth the deadness that follows after they’re gone.
I didn’t ask for this. Didn’t ask for her.
And I sure as hell didn’t plan to miss her when she walked out of my front
door.
Now, if I want to keep her, I have to straighten myself out and earn her. I
can’t screw this up.
Because if I do, I’ll lose more than just Lia.
I’ll lose my life.
