Laney Harper is a talented piano player who chooses to follow her dreams rather than follow her parents’ wishes of attending law school. Making that decision has sparked a rebellion in her that continues when she heads off to college. While there, she meets and falls for Jake Thomas, local rock star.
Five years later, Laney comes back to her rocker boyfriend, but what’s waiting for her is not what she expected. Finally standing up for herself may be the worst mistake she has ever made, leading to some seriously dangerous consequences.
The horror she endured sends her to therapist James Hardy, a man that can make her forget about her demons while hiding his own.
They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, but when the problem is buried deep down and the world seems like it’s against you, what do you do?
As Laney struggles to get her life back on track, a chain of events is set off and she realizes she has walked into a beautiful nightmare…
Amor Libris: Who is your favorite character from your latest book, and why?
Alisha Cole: My favorite character is Dr. SEXY … I mean, Dr. James Hardy. I love his character because he is mysterious, hides a lot of secrets, and tends to seem very innocent throughout my book.

Alisha Cole: Actually, no. The characters and plot came to me while listening to Pain by Three days Grace. It was crazy and I went with it!

Alisha Cole: I don’t have a blurb just yet, but it’s the second book in The Beautiful Nothing series, My Beautiful Lies, which is James my main male character’s POV. In book one, you question what is he hiding? When will we find out? Well, everyone will find out who James really is in this book
