Title: The Line That Binds
Author: J.M. Miller
Release Day: November 25, 2013
Synopsis:
Stained
with heartache and cursed with vengeance, a stone well lies on a
nineteenth-century estate, waiting for the Stockton line to wish again.
When seventeen-year-old Lila Wayde's father loses his high-paying job in Las Vegas, the family relocates to a Pennsylvania estate bequeathed by an estranged aunt. Lila begins a new life there, one not corrupted by wealth and fake friends. She soon meets Ben, the groundskeeper's gritty grandson, and experiences the kind of happiness her life's been missing. But as she settles into the ancient house, she learns information about her ancestors and the old stone well that may make her wish she'd never come.
Ben Shadows has lost enough in life. So when Stockton Estate's owner, Janine, wills the land to her great-niece Lila, Ben fears for the fate of the property. He decides to find out Lila's intentions as the new owner, but his grandfather wants him to protect her from Stockton Estate's alleged curse. As Ben helps Lila dig through the estate's history, they grow closer than he ever intended. Now, along with concerns about the property and the reality of the curse, he struggles with feelings he can't ignore.
Will the secrets of Stockton Estate bring them together or will knowing the truth rip them apart?
**Recommended mature YA for mild language and mild sexual content**
J.M. Miller first discovered her love of writing in high school
where she penned poetry for extra credit in English class and even braved the
anxiety of an open-mic night at a local coffee shop. Life soon followed, with a
couple of careers, marriage, and a baby. The urge to write again came not long
after her daughter's birth, this time calling for more than a few lines in a
messy composition notebook.
