[Streamline Blog Tour] An Excerpt from Streamline by Jennifer Lane + eBook Giveaway

The Official Streamline Blog Tour stops by my blog for an excerpt! Check it out!

When James was gone, there was a sudden peacefulness, a whooshing away of all menace from the room. Mary looked down at her son’s mangled right hand and kneeled again to hold it tenderly, finally having the opportunity to examine it. Too late. Just like James’ apology moments ago…too little and too late. Leo’s hand was cool and clammy, his skin abnormally pale. His right wrist was obviously swollen, and Leo whimpered when she turned his hand to inspect the bruising.

“Help is coming,” she whispered, choking down a sob.

What kind of mother failed to protect her child? What kind of mother stood by helplessly while her sweet, innocent son faced such brutality?

Stramline

by Jennifer Lane

Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent. He’s captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. But Leo has secrets. His mother’s crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father’s abuse, battered and alone.
Leo’s girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. As one of Florida’s top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. But there’s an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. Her number-one supporter--her father--is in prison for murder.
Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. When everything’s on the line . . . streamline.

About Jennifer Lane:

People fascinate the psychologist/author (psycho author) known as Jennifer Lane. Her therapy clients talk to her all day long about their dreams and secrets, and her characters tell her their stories at night. Jen delights in peeling away the layers to scrutinize their psyches and emotions. But please rest assured, dear reader, she isn’t psychoanalyzing you right now. She’s already got too many voices in her head!

Stories of redemption interest Jen the most, especially the healing power of love and empathy. She is the author of The Conduct Series—-romantic suspense for adult readers—-and is currently at work on the third and final installment: On Best Behavior. Streamline is her first foray into writing for young adults, but she’s found this sort of writing even more fun. A former college swimmer, Jen was able to put a lot of her own experiences into this book.

Whether writing or reading, Jen loves stories that make her laugh and cry. In her spare time she enjoys exercising, attending book club, and hanging out with her sisters and their families in Chicago and Hilton Head.
