Everybody's Somebody
Rhianne Shepard is odd. Well, she thinks she is.
Actually, she's gifted, she's beautiful and she's
extraordinary, but she's lonely. No friends, no family except her mother.
Thinking she's destined to spend the rest of her life hidden in her solitary
existence, she thinks that no one knows the REAL Rhianne even exists.
Jamie Travis does. Even though they've never
spoken. Not once. He wants her to know that he cares, he knows she exists and
he wants her to start living.
Circumstances throw them together, and Jamie
thinks he finally has his chance to show Rhianne that she really is someone
special. But he could never have guessed the battle he faces against the doubts
in her mind, put there by a mentally ill mother, an estranged father and a gift
that she might never understand.
Does he really have the ability to fight her inner
demons, and win? Or is he fighting a losing battle?

EXCERPTS

“Babe, please sit back down and
listen to me, carefully okay?” He seemed to wait for an actual response so I
just nodded back at him, telling him that I was listening to him. Then I sat
back down. “The two things are not related. Yes, completely, definitely,
indisputably, I owe you. That’s not up for debate, so don’t argue about it. But
me wanting to spend time with you, wanting to get to know you better, it has
nothing to do with that. Fair enough, if you don’t want to spend time with me,
then I’m not going to push you on it, even though I wouldn’t understand. But
don’t turn this around on me; I want to be your friend. I just want to
really know you.”
I stared into his beautiful eyes
for a few beats, trying to find any signs of dishonesty. None. He looked
entirely truthful. Relief, like nothing I’d ever felt surged through me and I
had the sudden urge to hug him. Literally just throw myself into his arms and
squeeze, with everything that I had.
So I did.
I launched myself across the
seat and threw myself into his arms. He stiffened at first but then I felt his
body relax and his arms came around and pulled me closer. My throat was thick
with unshed tears but I raised my head, looked him straight in the eye and
whispered, “Thank you.”
“Nothing to thank me for babe.
Everyone needs someone, sometimes.”

He could have been singing
nursery rhymes for all I knew. I wasn’t listening to word he said. I was too
busy staring at the tent in the front of his pajama bottoms. Oh my gosh! Did I
cause that?
I giggled. A lot. I smacked my
hand over my mouth but tears were streaming from my eyes I was laughing that
hard...
Hard! Haha! Get it?
Jamie frowned but he must have
noticed what I was staring at because he blushed! Guys don’t blush, or not that
I knew of. But he did. Then he tried to mask his reaction.

“Sweetheart, listen to me.” I
already was... “You believe what you want to. If you think that I’m everything
you just said then, not that I thought it was possible, but I love you more. I
don’t agree though, I’m not your hero and I don’t take care of you. You take
care of yourself just fine now, you just needed a push in the right direction.
I’m not dragging you along with me anymore, but I’ll always be holding your
hand, running along beside you. We’re equals and I wouldn’t have it any other
way. You’re everything to me, you changed my life too, always for the better –
no matter what shit we’ve been through in the process. If it meant I could have
you turning to me, in our bed, every morning looking at me with your beautiful
blue eyes and whispering ‘good morning’ babe I swear, I would go through it all
again.”
Say Hello to the Author
Names Danielle Breeze, I’m only
twenty-three but some days I feel forty!! I'm a single mum to two beautiful
young children (makes finding the time to write challenging to say the
least!!). Born and raised in Coventry, England – don’t think I’d ever really
have the guts to leave here!! I’m a romantic at heart, love a happy ending and
I’ve been known to make up my own endings in my head to other books if I didn’t
agree with theirs haha!!
I listen to music CONSTANTLY!!
Especially when I'm writing. I spend my days tidying up after my kids, making
dinner, taking the kids to the park...nothing interesting!! But I like to spend
time with my wonderful friends and family, going to concerts, on holidays, out
for drinks :) all the usual things!!
I have always read books,
magazines...the back of the shampoo bottle...ANYTHING I could, since I’ve been
able to form words!! I wanted to write my own books even when I was just a little
girl, scribbling little pieces down on scraps of paper, anything to get my
ideas out!! I was as at university when I decided I was going to stop wanting
to do it, and actually do it!! I have plenty of different works in the
pipeline, so I hope you like my stuff .
