A.D. Ellis For Nicky Release Day!!

For Nicky by A.D. Ellis

Due out April 30, 2014

Elizabeth Decker views herself as shy,

totally average, and pretty much insignificant. She’s nothing special, at least

not compared to her little sister, Audrey. Elizabeth is content with her plain

and lonely future; she’s too insecure to contemplate a relationship thanks to

her sister. Audrey is a bombshell and uses this to get what she wants. She’s a

girl who will stop at nothing to control anyone and everything around her. She

craves power and doesn’t care if she has to hurt Elizabeth to get it.

Nathaniel Morgan has spent his

whole life fighting for his twin brother, Nicholas. Somewhere along the way, he

lost himself. Now he’s just getting by. He’s devoted to his family, but

emotionally detached from the women he burns through like wildfire. He has no

plans of getting into something as complicated and committed as a

“relationship”.

Nicholas Morgan has placed the new

librarian, Miss Elizabeth, on a pedestal and is begging her to meet his twin brother,

Nathaniel. Elizabeth and Nathaniel agree to meet, for Nicky. Both are caught

off-guard when unexpected sparks fly between them. This was not in their plans.

Will Nathaniel and Elizabeth be able to escape a past that still plagues them?

Or, will the past, suspicions, and insecurities come between them one too many

times?

**This is a

contemporary new adult romance. It should only be read by ages 18+ due to adult

themes and situations. This book is a stand-alone.

What are people saying

about the book so far??

A.D Ellis was born and raised in a small farming town in

southern Indiana. An avid reader from the time she learned to read, A.D. could

often be found curled up somewhere with her nose in a book. Most of her friends

were not such book enthusiasts which earned her a few snickers when she was

constantly reading.

A.D. had always dreamed of being a teacher. She earned her

degree in Elementary Education from Indiana State University in 1999 and her

Master’s Degree from Indiana Wesleyan in 2003. A.D. has been teaching in the

inner city of Indianapolis for 15 years. While she’s taught several different

grades, fourth grade is her favorite. They are learning independence by 4^th

grade, but most haven’t learned the attitude yet. A.D. loves teaching

fractions, variables, probability, and graphing in Math. She loves almost all

aspects of English Language Arts. Figurative language, theme, making

predictions, drawing conclusions, inference, context clues, making writing come

to life, A.D. loves it all! Her students may not be in agreement with that

excitement.

A.D. met her husband in college in 1996 and they married in

June of 2000. A.D. lives in a south side suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana with

her husband and two school-aged children. When she’s not reading or writing

with music blaring, she can be found shopping at thrift stores, reading to her

children, and running.

A.D. had always pondered the idea of writing a book, but

until recently it was a far off dream. In today’s age of independently

published authors, A.D. decided to take a chance and try her hand at writing.

She has learned so much during this journey and is having a world of fun with

it.

Hi! Thanks for dropping in...

You want to know more about me? Well, let's see...

I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time "day job" and by night I am author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world.

Please feel free to contact me to chat about my writing, books you think I'd like or just to shoot the, well you know.
