Chasing Me
by Jennifer Probst
March 3, 2015
New Adult Contemporary Romance
One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas
BOOK
SUMMARY:
Quinn and James' Story Continues in Chasing
Me...
It was supposed to be a love story....
I knew she
was out of my league but I didn’t care. Looking back, I wonder if I hadn’t
pursued her, would things have turned out differently? Is it Fate that
determines our choices in life? God? Free will? Or just plain old innate
selfishness?
I got her,
of course. There hadn’t been a girl I wasn’t able to seduce. Problem was she
seduced me right back, body, mind, and soul. She possessed me, tormented me,
and showed me a world that was so bright and pure I was almost blinded.
Didn’t
she know after such a drug I could never settle for less? Didn’t she realize no
matter how many times I screwed up, or broke her heart, or bent her to my will,
I’d never be able to let her go?
If I
hadn’t known such intensity existed, would it have been better for both of us?
True love,
the real kind, isn’t nice and sweet and pure. No, it’s dirty, and sinful, and
messy. It’s like ripping a chunk of flesh from your body and watching yourself
bleed out in slow, helpless intervals until you thankfully pass out.
This isn’t a love story. But it’s the only story
I got.

The Second Book Syndrome
When I first wrote Beyond
Me, I had no intention of ever continuing Quinn and James’ story.
Our Sex on the Beach series had been successfully launched,
Spring Break in Key West was over, and I had put them through many challenges
and eventually watched them receive their HEA.
Imagine my surprise when I couldn’t seem to get them out of
my mind.
Writing new adult is a bit different than adult
contemporary. The characters are younger, and are in a very unique time in
their life. The college years is a time of exploring who we are, figuring out
relationships, finding out our needs, and carving a niche in life. Somehow,
giving James and Quinn an easy ending wasn’t working.
So, I approached my fellow writing partners and asked if
they’d consider another story for their own characters. Everyone heartily
agreed. But when I began the book, I literally had no concept of what would
happen between them. Spring break and Key West was over. They were now a couple
living in Chicago, finding their way, and fighting a different set of
challenges.
Let’s be honest. Vacation is short and set in an idealistic
world. Coming home brings all sorts of nasty issues, such as work, school,
finances, parents, friends, and endless amount of pressure. Putting Quinn and
James through the paces made it realistic. Mistakes are made. Choices are
questioned. They are growing up, and they will either grow together or apart.
That’s what makes this second book special. The challenge is
to offer the reader something different, but a story that will stay with them,
and not ruin the wonderful experience they had with Beyond Me. Authors are always scared of ruining that first book by
continuing the story in a way that won’t resonate with readers.
I let my Muse guide me, Quinn and James were allowed free
reign in my head, and I’m happy with their continuation in Chasing Me.
I hope you are, too.
