Excerpt: Because I Love You by Tori Rigby with Giveaway





Because I Love You

Tori Rigby

Blaze Publishing
May 17th 2016
YA Romance








Eight weeks after sixteen-year-old Andie Hamilton gives her virginity to her best friend, “the stick” says she’s pregnant.
Her friends treat her like she’s carrying the plague, her classmates torture and ridicule her, and the boy she thought loved her doesn’t even care. Afraid to experience the next seven months alone, she turns to her ex-boyfriend, Neil Donaghue, a dark-haired, blue-eyed player. With him, she finds comfort and the support she desperately needs to make the hardest decision of her life: whether or not to keep the baby.
Then a tragic accident leads Andie to discover Neil’s keeping a secret that could dramatically alter their lives, and she’s forced to make a choice. But after hearing her son’s heartbeat for the first time, she doesn’t know how she’ll ever be able to let go.

Jodi squeezed my hand. “Do
BILY Teaser April 19
whatever you think is right.

Your gut won’t lie. Mine sure

didn’t, and look how you

turned out.”

I smiled.

After a few more questions, like

did I have any

siblings—no—and where did

my cousins live—just over the

border into New Mexico—the

guard announced our fifteen

minutes were up. I fought the

urge to cling to Jodi’s hand asshe stood. I hadn’t spent nearly enough time with her.

“You write me. Let me know how you’re doing, ‘kay?”

I nodded, my mouth drying, and she backed out of the room with a wave. When the door from

the visitation area to the cellblock closed, I covered my mouth, my chest hitching. Mom put her

arm around my shoulders, and I leaned into her. I’d been so afraid that Jodi would have

considered me a burden, that she would’ve hate me for ruining her life, like I originally loathed

my baby for messing up mine. But that was so far from the reason she’d placed me for adoption.

“She had loved me, Mom,” I said, my voice shaking.

And here she is. . .
TORI RIGBY!!!




Adopted at three-days-old by a construction worker and a stay at home mom, Tori Rigby grew up with her nose in a book and her fingers on piano keys, always awaiting the day she’d take her own adventure. Now, she goes on multiple journeys through her contemporary and historical romances. She longs to live in the Scottish Highlands, and her favorite place in history is Medieval England—she’d even give up her Internet and running water to go back in time! Tori also writes high-concept genre fiction as Vicki Leigh, and when she isn’t writing, she’s kicking butt in krav maga or attending classes to learn how to catch bad guys.
