Synopsis
“We have someone who saw you struggling with the deceased before
using that knife. Your best friend, and our eye witness.”
In nine weeks Charlie Miller’s life goes from high-rolling
perfection to a crypt of sin. All it takes is one night, one blade, and her
boyfriend, best friend and new friends all either end up as suspects or dead.
Nate Westcott, a pierced, tattooed, charismatic lawyer, is a man
she can’t have—but a seductive danger she can’t ignore. He’s cocky,
infuriating, brilliant and wrong, yet he makes her question whether she really
is the good girl she wants to be or more like the selfish killer everyone
thinks she is.
And her body wants him in ways she’s not supposed to crave.
As the weeks close in, cracks start forming in her everyday world
of pro football golden boys, law school domination and New York City nightlife.
Everyone she cares about is at risk because one of them doesn’t love Charlie
back. In fact, they want her out of the way. Disposed of. Set up.
One more step, and all Charlie has to do is fall through.
Week 1 starts now.
WHO WILL SNAP?
Snapped is Ketley’s New Adult Contemporary series with all the
romance you’d expect, but the killer—and lovers—that you don’t.

Teaser
I wrapped my
hands around the railings, iron framing my view as I watched them. I rested my
forehead between the cold columns, feeling like an inmate forced to see the
world from the inside.
Neither Lara
nor Slade said anything. Nor did they pause for a picture or even acknowledge
the requests.
But, I
thought, neither bothered to correct them.
The press
believed Lara was me, that Slade was bringing his girlfriend with him even
though players weren’t supposed to consort with their companions prior to a
game.
But I
shouldn’t rush to stupid thoughts—he probably offered her a ride, asked to drop
her off somewhere rather than wasting money on a cab.
Yet the tug
on my insides wasn’t regret or logic. It was, ever so slightly, jealousy. She
was beautiful. She was with him. I was up here, curled up on the balcony and
sporting terrycloth and stress pimples in the background.
I sagged
against the bars, blowing out an annoyed, desolate sigh.
“Charlotte!”
I stiffened.
“I see you,
girl! Down here!”
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
I flipped to
all fours, squeezing my eyes shut as though I could scrunch out what was
happening, and crawled to the balcony door.
Please
don’t have zoom capabilities.
“Charlotte!
Why aren’t you with your boyfriend! Who’s the lady with him?”
Door. Get to
the damn door.
“Charlotte!
Charlotte! Char—”
Slam.
I shut the
French doors, transforming the sounds from below into muffled murmurs, almost
nonexistent.
And if I
were to be honest with myself, I felt pretty nonexistent right now, too.

Author Bio
Ketley Allison began her career by writing books as birthday
presents for her friends (with her friend as the main character and
opposite a super sexy lead, of course) before ending it in order to
walk down a path she thought she was supposed to follow.
The writing bug never left her--and, in fact, would often bleed into the official papers she was supposed to write--so now Ketley's putting down her suit and finally following her dream. While her friends are no longer the stars of her books, she still throws in bits and pieces of them into each and every one of her characters.
As a result, her books tend to focus a lot on friendships as well as love, because let's be honest, friends are what really get you through--especially when your epic love turns into epic heartbreak.
