Beautifully Awake
Lili Porter is a small town social worker forced to start over in the big city to escape her rural disaster. Chase Colton is a brilliant surgeon sliced by a memory so vile that his wound still oozes fifteen years later. Together they learn that only truth has the power to soothe when healing is impossible. Life is not pretty, nor safe - never is.
This is a story of love, compassion and most importantly honesty.
Beautifully Done
Battling lymphoma and staring Alzheimer’s in the face changes people. It’s why Asher Craig drives fast, flies high and screws hard. Talia Prince, a successful doctor, may have run away nineteen years ago, but has the ink to prove she never stopped looking back. Together these childhood best friends figure out that everything doesn’t have to be ideal to be beautiful. They just have to remember to live.
This is a story of love, trust, acceptance and forgiveness.

Hi New Fans!!!
We thought we'd give you all another little teaser from Beautifully Done!!! We are getting super excited and can't wait to share it with you all in June!! Make sure you read Beautifully Awake first because Beautifully Done will definitely spoil Chase and Lili's story! xoxo
We sat silent while he fetched my bottle. “So what about you?” She sounded a tad more relaxed.
“What about me?”
Her iPhone whistled with a new text. She tapped the power button, quickly blackening the screen, before she even had a chance to read the message. Clearly, I was not invited to eavesdrop. Thoughts of someone else’s sexting was a definite mood killer anyway. She dropped the phone in her bag and nailed me with her big cinnamon eyes. “Sorry. Work.” Yeah right.
“No hidden ink? You all tatted up under this muscley situation you have going on?” She waved her hands up and down the length of my body. Somehow the tension from moments ago vanished and now the conversation was about me. Shit. How a woman could so brilliantly avoid a topic and complete a one-eighty boggled my mind. But I didn’t mind her acknowledging my body. That had to be a good sign, right? “I pegg you for something completely over the top to get your lady friends all hot and bothered?”
I shook my head for more than one reason. “I don’t need any help from a tat for that.” I loved that she blushed and tried to play it off hiding behind her clear glass.
“Whatever.”
“Don’t blush, all you have to do is ask and you are more than welcome to check out-” I copied her hand motion down my front. “My situation.” I smirked and took a pull from my beer. Her attempt at a repulsed expression was hilarious. Hey, she started it.
“Hate you.”
“No you don’t.”
“True.” She smiled. Score.

A Year to Never Be Forgotten!
2013 will always hold a special place in our hearts. It’s the year we stepped out of our box and became RIley Mackenzie.
The learning curve was steep, the stress caused nervous stomach, and the belly laughter physically hurt to the point of silly tears. But we wouldn’t change one single thing!!! We wanted to share a few of our favorite memories.. and say Thank You. Because you made it happen and we will forever be grateful! Happy New Year!
Love, RM
1. Becoming Riley Mackenzie--- we knew we needed a pen name (because 2 unknown authors seemed worse than one and our combined name sounded horrendous- hehe!) What’s more perfect than using your favorite names in the world?!?
2. Deliriously typing “THE END” after barricading ourselves in a hotel room for an all-nighter (and maybe a bottle of wine!) only to realize (AFTER WE SENT IT TO OUR BETAS) that it really said, “The F&%#& END FINALLY!!!”
3. The day we emailed our raw/unedited book to our betas. No one else had read a single word (not even our husbands). Talk about a WE CHANGED OUR MINDS moment!! Followed 2 weeks later by a HAPPY DANCE IN THE LIVING ROOM moment when our first beta responded... she LIKED it!!
4. Spilling the beans to our families and closest friends. You would have thought we said, “I’m pregnant. Can you pass the turnips?” Truly classic.
5. The day it felt real, when we finally stopped tormenting our cover designer because she nailed our vision!
6. Let’s not forget the day we had to leave the beach (the place where Chase&Lili were born) in search of wi-fi. Because real authors send their editors their final manuscripts from Dunkin Donuts?!?!? While waiting in line to fill ice coffees orders for the family still at the beach! Yep- True story!!!
7. Following through on our promise to ourselves when we hit publish by celebrating Chase style, at the NYC restaurant we wrote about. Paperbacks in our hands and new Louboutins on our feet.
8. Our real life Chase Coltons’ trumping our release day celebration with a surprise trip to Vegas.
9. Then sitting in the airport terminal (a day after BA's release) and reading our very FIRST review... 5 STARS!!! Even better, it was from a blogger in AUSTRALIA! We definitely tormented innocent bystanders with our screams (in unison) and foolish dancing. (pretty sure our husbands went for coffee at that point).
10. Setting up a blog tour (with NO idea what that was) and having over 100 bloggers sign up and having most WANT to read our book! Crazy!!
11. Reading reviews from countries we had to Google (literally!!). Our little story reached places we never imagined possible.
12. Making a world of new friends that share our passion for great love stories. Authors, editors, bloggers and readers. Awesome!!
13. Being inspired to start again!! Chase & Lili will always be our first loves, but much like having a second child, it took all but a second to realize our heart’s capacity to love another is endless. We look forward to spending the beginning of 2014 falling in love all over… with Asher!
Cheers to 2014!
