Publication date: November 8, 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult
Synopsis:
One text can change everything.
Honor Calhoun never thought her life would ever be like the books she writes for a living. One morning while out for a run, she learns not all bad things are plots in novels. Some horrors can actually come true.
She faces off with a persistent attacker, holds her own, but in the end is taken hostage and thrown into a hole. In the middle of the woods.
But Honor didn’t go down there alone.
She took her kidnapper’s phone with her. With a spotty signal and a dying battery, her hope is slim.
Nathan Reed is an active duty Marine stationed at a small reserve base in Pennsylvania. All he wants is a calm and uneventful duty station where he can forget the memories of his time in a war-torn country.
But a single text changes everything.
Nathan becomes Honor’s only hope for survival, and he has to go against the clock, push aside his past, and take on a mission for a girl he’s never met.
Both of them want freedom… but they have to survive long enough to obtain it.

TEXT
by Cambria Hebert

All I heard was his breathing. The
pounding of my heart. I felt the rush of blood draining to my head and the
sharp stab of pain every time his shoulder gouged into my stomach. I don’t know
how long he walked. I don’t know how long I’d been gone, how long I’d been
passed out. The sun was higher in the sky, which told me it must have been a
while.
We could be anywhere.
His steps slowed, and my entire
body stiffened.
Was this it?
Were these the last moments of my
life?
I noticed something then… the bulge
in the back pocket of his jeans. The top of a cell phone peaked out, tempting
me.
He stopped walking altogether.
Silence rained upon us. Not even a bird dared make a noise. I was presented
with a choice. This entire day had been nothing but a series of choices, of
attempts at gaining freedom.
I lurched my body to the right,
rolling off his shoulder and down his arm. He swore and threw me back up. I
made an intense gagging sound, not all of it made up (his shoulder really hurt
my gut). He leaned forward like he was trying to get away from a shower of
puke, and my body went with him.
I flailed my arms about like I
needed help, quickly making my move. Then I gagged again.
He made a disgusted sound and
pulled me off him, pushed me away, and held me out. Our eyes met one final
time.
And then he let go.
I braced myself for the brunt of
the hard ground. Only it didn’t come. My body was forced into a free-fall.
I dropped from the air, the bottom
falling out of my stomach as my arms and legs searched for
something—anything—to catch myself with.
But there was nothing.
The longer I fell, the darker it
became. Until the sunlight was just a beacon above.
And then I hit.
My teeth banged together, biting
into my tongue and filling my mouth with the tang of blood. I blinked, trying
to rid my head of the throbbing, but it didn’t help. I looked up… up past the
tall dirt walls of my prison, up to the tiny round hole at the top.
My captor stood there staring down,
watching me, not saying a word.
I lay there unmoving, feeling the
damp, cold dirt at my back and against my legs. I lay there and stared at him,
hoping he would think I was dead, that the fall broke my neck.
He stood there a long time.
Staring.
Watching.
Waiting.
And then he stepped away,
disappearing from sight, leaving nothing above me but the image of trees and
sunlight.
I lay there a little bit longer,
wondering if he would come back.
When I thought it was safe, I began
to wiggle my prize out of the sleeve of my running jacket, jiggling it down
into the palm of my hand.
A shadow fell overhead, and I
stopped breathing.
He returned.
He stared at me some more. I lay
there still unmoving, gripping my lifeline in my hand. Finally, he grunted. And
he said three words that scared me more than death itself.
“I’ll be back.”

A little about Cambria
I
love coffee. I have two kids and two dogs, and 2 cats. I am married to a US
Marine. I have an irrational fear of chickens (they are creepy!), I love the
rain and fall is my favorite season.Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
I’ve learned through writing that I am a lot stronger than I ever thought and that I am way more stubborn than even I realized (trust me I am super stubborn).
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Keep writing. Don’t stop. Be prepared for a long and sometimes hard road to publication. It’s a touch business but you can do it. Anyone can do it if you really want it.
What inspired you to write your first book?
This is such a hard question. LOL. You think it would be easy. Honestly, I just got this character – this person stuck in my head. I started dreaming about him. One day I decided to write down what I kept thinking. It grew into a book and I have been writing every since.
Tell us your latest news?
I recently joined the circus! Okay I didn’t. But, I am allergic to elephants. That’s not recent but it’s true. My latest news is that TEXT is released!!! I am so incredibly excited about this book. I think it’s my favorite book of mine in the Take It Off series. I also have another book coming out in early December called TIPSY!

favorite shows are The Originals, The Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf. I also
