Blurb
Creep. Freak. Crazy
Eyes.
I've heard it all.
Over the years,
they've slammed me with every demeaning name in the book.
Their taunts warped
me like a steady stream of poison.
Anger replaced
anxiety as I started believing the cruelty spat my way.
Until she showed up
and changed everything.
Lennon Bennett is
pure innocence—warm sunshine breaking apart my stormy existence.
She's everything
good and maybe I can be too.
For her. With her.
Because of her.
Lennon doesn’t know
I’m beckoned closer with each breath. She isn't aware that I'm completely
consumed with her.
It’s become my sole
purpose to protect her, by any means necessary.
But if she
discovers the depth of my obsession, it will be the end of me.
So, I remain in the
shadows.
Waiting. Watching.
Wanting.
She'll be my first.
My last. My only.
Watch Me Follow is
a total standalone.

Excerpt
He’s becoming really obvious.
The mystery man is here again, hidden in the shadows and out of clear sight, but I’m catching onto him.
After noticing him standing behind me the other day, the dark stranger has been appearing everywhere lately. I’m pretty sure this guy wants to get caught. Perhaps he’s been hanging nearby a lot longer and I’m just realizing it. My pulse beats wildly, the whooshing pounding in my ears as I continue watching him. This reaction isn’t from fear but rather a startling awareness of his recurring presence. I’m not scared of him, though most might be, and the need to know why snakes through my system.
We’ve been playing an intense game of hide-and-seek since that afternoon outside Aire Gardens almost a week ago. I’ll go somewhere—my studio, Brewed Awakenings, around campus, my apartment—and after settling in, begin searching for him. He’s always there, waiting to be spotted. Each time I find him, my belly tightens as a smile lights up my face. Discovering him out there, lingering in the background, has become something I really look forward to.
How didn’t I notice sooner?
Perhaps it’s my total inexperience with dating, and the opposite sex in general, that has me getting far too attached to these moments. I’m getting wrapped up in the fantasy of him, of what he represents. This stranger—Seek is what I’ve started calling him—is the closest thing to a boyfriend I’ve ever had. I find myself daydreaming about him, wondering who he really is, when did he find me, and most importantly—why me?
I press my palm flat against the cool glass and stare at him leaning against the large oak tree outside the Student Center. My thoughts are becoming more and more consumed with a guy I don’t even know—at least not really. Yet it seems like I do.

Review
Lennon Bennett has always felt out of place around people and especially around guys. Her very sheltered childhood left her wanting to branch out for college and beyond. But someone seems to watching her and leaving her gifts in unexpected places. This should make her worried and scared, but there is something about this hidden stranger that calls to her.
Ryker Doxson has always lived his life in shadows. His life has always felt dark and lonely until she walks into his world. Now he'll do whatever it takes to make sure she's always safe, happy, and loved.
Some would call his stalking tendencies odd, but Lennon accepts it and welcomes it. She feels safe and comfortable around Ryker and wants his in her life.
Ryker has lived his life in the shadows for so long, will he be able to leave that behind and embrace the light? Can Lennon heal the hurt from his past before it tears them apart? Or has too much pain and suffering to had to overcome?
Watch Me Follow is enchanting, thought provoking, sensual read that will captive the reader right from the start.
The pain and constant harassment Ryker has been through will touch the readers' heart. It's understandable why he is the way he is. And even though he's been through all this, the fact that he has a heart of gold is endearing. I love how devoted he is to Lennon even if it mean he has to walk away from her for her to be happy.
I admire Lennon's determination to have Ryker in her life. She always wanted him in her life and when she finally get him, she doesn't let go. I love how she wants to share everything with Ryker, big or small it all matters to her.
I really loved Watch Me Follow and it left me with a nice book hangover. The passion that flows between Ryker and Lennon leaps off the pages and into the readers' soul.
If you are looking for a read that will captivate you and make you laugh, cry, and fall in love, then I highly recommend you pick up Watch Me Follow. Let Ryker and Lennon show you how much love can heal old wounds and make all your dreams come true.
