Available
now! Can’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers
Is
it better to be safe or loved?
Four
months have passed since the E’mani destroyed the Earth and scooped
up the remains. Elizabeth “Beta” Camden was one of those taken.
With the help of their enemies, the Fost, she escapes and confronts
her prior captors successfully. Though she knows she should remain
vigilant toward the E’mani, she follows her heart instead and falls
in love with Marin, the sexy Fost warrior.
She
should have trusted her first instinct.
This
time the E’mani don’t come in force–they slip in silently. And
any hope Beta had of a peaceful life is lost. She leaves in the dead
of night to find the E’mani stronghold and end them once and for
all. But love is a tricky bitch. It takes a threat to Marin’s
safety to make Beta realize, if she can’t forget her past, she
won’t have a future.
Excerpt
“That
is for later. No peeking.” Well, now I deeply regretted not
looking. He must have read my expression because his laughter rang
out.
“I
love you.”
And
just like that he dropped it on me. I froze like a deer in
headlights. My heart fluttered. I’d suspected for a while that he
did. He’d told it to me in so many small ways since I moved in. I
was the first and last thing he thought of every day, that last he
had told me. But this was the first time he used the L word.
How I felt was more complicated. I was human and he was Fost. And to
be honest, I didn’t know what I was anymore, not after the E’mani
because I wasn’t me.
He
laughed even more at my expression. “It is all right, I do not
expect a response, but I wanted you to know.” He glanced down and
shifted in his seat.
I
pretended it was fine like he said and cleared my throat. “So.”
The
silence stretched for a few beats. But it wasn’t all right.
Oh,
forget it. I was no good at lying to myself or anyone else. He needed
something.
About
Colleen
Colleen
S. Myers was raised in a large Catholic family in the outskirts of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she grew up on Harlequin teen romances
and stories from her mother’s days as a paramedic. She went on to
attend Allegheny College majoring in Biology and English.
After
college, Colleen spent a year in service in the Americorp giving back
to the community at a local Pittsburgh Women Infants and Children
Clinic (WICC) before attending Kirksville College of Osteopathic
Medicine on a military scholarship.
Upon
completing medical school, Colleen attended residency at Andrews Air
Force Base in Maryland and was on base in Washington, DC during 9/11.
She earned three meritorious service awards from the military. After
serving seven years of active duty, she promptly landed a position at
the VA to provide fellow veterans with optimum medical care. Still an
avid fan of romances into adulthood, her love of the genre inspired
her to hone her craft as a writer, focusing on contemporary romance
and science fiction. Her background in medicine and the military
provides an inspiring layer of creative realism to her stories and
characters.
Her
first book, Must Remember,
the first book in the Solum series, is published by Champagne Press.
The sequel, Can’t Forget,
coming in June 2016, is the recipient of the 2015 RWA New England

son, and spends her spare time writing. She is also working on a new
contemporary romance.
