I am so excited to finally share with you the absolutely gorgeous cover of Full Moon Over Freedom, my follow up to After Hours on Milagro Street and the second book in the Milagro Street series, over on The Nerd Daily. The Nerd Daily is also offering an exclusive excerpt of the book.
The cover was once again designed by the incredibly talented Alex Cabal.
Full Moon Over Freedom is about oldest sister Gillian Armstead-Bancroft, who’d believed she was the perfect mother, wife, and bruja until her divorce leaves her unemployed, broke, magic-less and forced to return to her tiny hometown of Freedom, Kansas, with her two children to live with her parents for the summer.
Please, just the summer, she prays to the spirits no longer listening.
When she runs into childhood friend and former bad boy Nicky Mendoza, now a successful artist, she hopes he can help her get her groove back.
But Nicky, who’d helped Gillian deal with the problem of her virginity when they were teens, can’t be convenient for her again. He’s been in-love-at-first-sight with her since the moment he saw her when they were kids and, since she doesn’t know how he feels about her, he’s got to set some hard boundaries now. He’ll stay in town, too, while she’s here. He’ll be in touchable reach for whatever she needs.
But he won’t touch her. That’s the only way he’ll survive the summer.

“Let’s get out of here,” he said.
She sat on the black-and-white tile reading from a file open on top of a blue tub, already holding her hair twisted off her neck. The two oscillating desk fans played with the tendrils on the side of her face, but didn’t blow away the sweat he could see gleaming in the hollow of her throat.
“Get out of here?” she asked, blinking at him with her new eyes.
Gillian’s latest metamorphosis into a thin-nosed woman with green eyes was no different than her previous transformation from a little girl always in pink to a slim teenager with a long neck and small breasts and wide eyes that looked at everything, including Nicky, as a challenge she could conquer. Gillian’s beauty was baked in deep. She dressed it up different depending on her goals. …
