I enter the main
hall at school, my eyes straight ahead, unfocused. I don’t want to see him.
We’ll go back to the way things were before. All business. All animosity and
sarcasm. And I’ll pretend that it doesn’t feel like he shot me in the heart.

Gretchen finds me
and loops her arm into mine. “Guess what?” she asks, practically beaming.

“Nothing.”
Gretchen starts to press me
for more, when Jackson rounds the corner and stops. I cut over to my locker as
though I’m computerized, void of any emotion.

Within seconds, I

deck him.

He edges closer, so close I
feel his body against my back, his breath on my neck. “I’m sorry. I
overreacted. I was stupid, a coward…but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel the same
way.”

He brushes my hair from
my face, all the coldness from last night replaced with a warmth so bright it’s
like staring into the morning sun. He lowers his head to my ear and whispers so
only I can hear, “You shouldn’t love me, but assuming you ignore me, like
always, know this: I am absolutely, mind-bendingly in love with you. In every
way. Every ounce of my body. My entire being…it belongs to you.”

Blurb:
On Earth, seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander was
taught to never peek, but if she hopes to survive life on her new planet, Loge,
her eyes must never shut.

her eyes must never shut.
Because in this world,
pleasure is everything, held up by a ruling body that keeps their people in check
by giving them what they want and closing their eyes to what’s really happening
around them. The only hope Loge has is to move its people to Earth, and they
have a plan.

have a plan.
Thousands of humans crossed over to Loge after a
poisonous neurotoxin released into Earth’s atmosphere, nearly killing them.
They sought refuge in hopes of finding a new life, but what they became were
slaves, built to wage war against their home planet. That is, unless Ari and
Jackson can stop them.
But on Loge, nothing is as it seems…and no one
can be trusted.
Melissa lives in a
tiny suburb of Atlanta, GA with her husband and daughters. She pretends to like
yoga, actually likes shoes, and could not live without coffee. Her writing heroes
include greats like Jane Austen and Madeleine L’Engle. She holds a B.A.
in Communication Studies and an M.S. in Graphic Communication, both from
Clemson University. Yeah, her blood runs orange. GRAVITY is her first
novel.
