I'm really excited for the cover reveal of Sarah's next book Conspiracy Girl! What do you think? Don't forget to add it to your TBR!
Expected publication date: February 15th 2015
Everybody knows about the Cooper Killings – the Bel Air home invasion that rocked the nation.
There was only one survivor - a sixteen year-old girl.
And though the killers were caught they walked free.
Now eighteen, Nic Preston - the girl who survived - is trying hard to rebuild her life. She’s security conscious to the point of paranoia and her only friend is a French Mastiff bulldog, but she’s making progress. She’s started college in New York and has even begun dating.
But then one night her apartment is broken into and the life Nic’s worked so hard to create is shattered in an instant.
Finn Carter - hacker, rule breaker, player – is the last person Nic ever wants to see again. He’s the reason her mother’s killers walked free from court. But as the people hunting her close in, Nic has to accept that her best and possibly only chance of staying alive is by keeping close to Finn and learning to trust the person she’s sworn to hate.
Fleeing across a snowbound New England, frantically trying to uncover the motive behind the murders, Nic and Finn come to realize the conspiracy is bigger than they could ever have suspected. But the closer they get to the truth and the closer they get to each other, the greater the danger becomes.
To survive she has to stay close to him.
To keep her safe he has to keep his distance.

EXCERPT
What’s in all the boxes?’ I ask, choosing to ignore the comment.
Finn finishes chewing his mouthful of chicken. ‘You ask a lot of questions,’ he remarks.
‘You don’t answer many.’
‘It’s stuff for Martha Stewart,’ he says, tilting his chin in the direction of the boxes stacked by the door.
‘I’m sorry?’
‘A lot of companies ask her to endorse their products.’
I wait for him to finish his explanation but it appears he’s done explaining.
‘And?’ I push. ‘What are you to Martha Stewart? Is she some kind of relation?’
He laughs. ‘No. I just -’ he clears his throat and tosses another chunk of chicken to Goz. ‘I thought I would do her a favour. You know, help her upcycle.’
‘What are you talking about?’ I ask, staring blankly at him.
‘She gets sent an obscene about of stuff. Pasta makers and cupcake trays and Magimixes from the future. All from companies who want her to promote and endorse their stuff. So I figured, rather than have it all go to waste, because there’s no way she’s going to ever use it all, I would have it diverted to me instead. And what I don’t want I give to the Goodwill.’
I set my knife and fork down. ‘You’re not joking are you?’ I ask.
