Passion. Mystery. It all collides in the breathtaking conclusion to the New York Times bestselling INSIDE OUT series, ALL OF ME.
He's rich and famous, his past dark, but so is hers. Can they save each other? Or will the darkness tear them apart?
Excerpt
Entering the kitchen, I find Chris leaning on the marble countertop by the coffeepot, shirtless and
in his pajama bottoms, the long strands of his blond hair a wild, sexy mess I’m pretty sure I
created last night.
He glances up from the paper he’s reading, then picks up his coffee cup. “Morning, Ms.
McMillan.”
“Morning, Mr. Merit,” I reply, grinning as I join him.
He offers me his coffee cup and I happily accept it, taking a drink of the perfectly flavored coffee
and creamer. Sharing a cup with Chris has this sexy, intimate feel to it that always does funny
things to my belly.
“Your last day as a free woman,” he comments.
“Why? Are you planning to tie me up sometime soon?”
He covers my hands on his cup. “Is that an objection, or wishful thinking?” He tilts the cup and
drinks, his eyes never leaving mine.
“I plead the Fifth. It’s more fun that way.”
“That it is,” he agrees, but a sigh follows. “I wish I could do the same, but you’d better look at
the newspaper.” He sets the cup on the counter, then hands me the Arts section of the local
paper.
Dread fills me as I read the headline: “Acclaimed Artist and Philanthropist Chris Merit to wed
Sara McMillan on Valentine’s Day in Star-studded Event in Sonoma.” I set it down. “We went to
so much trouble to get the press off our backs before the wedding, and now they’ve found us! I
knew when all these famous people showed up on the guest list, it was going to turn into a zoo.”
“Walker Security anticipated the press, and they’re staffed and ready for it. It’ll be fine. We’ll be
shielded.”
Nerves the size of birds, not butterflies, attack my stomach.
“We should have eloped.”
“We still can. Let’s do it. Now. Today.”
“We can’t elope,” I say, sounding appalled, as if he’d suggested it, not me. “People who respect
you are coming a long way to see us. And Katie has planned this for months.”
“Baby, we can do whatever we want. This is our day.”
“No. We can’t. Not this far into this. Which reminds me— you can’t stay here tonight. It’s bad
luck to see the bride the night before the wedding.”
“I told you how I feel about that. We make our own luck.”
“Chris—”
He kisses me. “I’m staying here tonight, and I’m fucking you like I won’t see you ever again,
just to be sure you walk down that aisle.”
“If you’re waiting for me at the end of that aisle, I’ll be there. And if you’re staying here tonight,
we can use separate bedrooms.”
“Does today count as part of that eve-of-the-wedding rule?”
“Yes.”
He scoops me up and I yelp. “What are you doing?”
“I’m a renegade, baby. Let’s go break the rules.”

The following excerpts are glimpses of when a lot of the secondary characters come back to visit in the INSIDE OUT finale, ALL OF ME
Excerpt
I step into the hallway and Mike is waiting, looking sharp in a tuxedo. "I have the rings." He takes my arm. "And now I have the beautiful bride."
I cling to his arm. "Thank you. I feel unsteady."
"I won’t let you fall. And I promise you, neither will Chris."
There’s a tiny pinch in my chest at his sincerity, and a wish that my father could say such things and mean them, but I quickly shove it aside. "I know," I say, eager to get to Chris.
Jacob and Blake are at the exit when I arrive, and Jacob hands me my bouquet, giving me a grand bow before he opens the door for me. I pause and kiss him on the cheek. "Thanks for taking good care of us."
"What about me?" Blake demands.
"You stole Jacob from us. You get no kiss." I walk out of the chateau with Mike, and freeze with the realization that hundreds of eyes are upon me.
Excerpt #5
Please note the X referenced below is a third party male whose name is exempt to avoid spoilers
There is movement by the door again, and my gaze jerks in that direction, where Rey now stands, looking big, broad, and intimidating. His hard stare is fixed on Chantal’s hand on X's chest.. His anger is downright palpable. “Come with me, Chantal,” he orders, his tone as tight as a rubber band stretched to the limit. She doesn’t move, and he tilts his head slightly, his eyes sharpening with a challenge. “I said, come with me.”
She half turns toward X, who cuts off any intent she might have with a command of his own. “Go, Chantal. You don’t belong in the middle of this.”
Her eyes flicker in my direction and then dart away as she takes a step toward Rey, who steps aside and follows her out the door. Watching them disappear, I feel the sting of Chantal’s rejection. Chris was right.
If I warn her off of X, I will lose her completely.
Excerpt #6
“Hello, Sara.”
I blink up at Mark, who’s as tall, blond, and good-looking as usual but unfamiliar nevertheless. “I must be in a Bizarro World where you call people by their first names.”
He smoothes the sleeve of his perfectly fitted grey suit. “What is Bizarro World?”
“You haven’t seen that episode of Seinfeld? It’s an alternate universe.”
“No, I have not seen that episode of Seinfeld, but I agree. Perhaps we are in Bizarro World, since the Sara I know likes to be called by her first name.”
“Isn’t that exactly why you always call me Ms. McMillan?”
“Perhaps I can’t stomach the idea of calling you Mrs. Merit.”
I grin. “Why don’t you wait until Chris walks in to give him a hard time?”
His lips curve into what is almost a smile, and I know I’ve busted him. “Because he doesn’t take my bait the way you do.”
“You’re maddening, Mark Compton.”
“So you tell me.”
