Release Date: May 1, 2018
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press SWERVE
Format: Digital and Paperback
Lennon McCartney is not a broken man. Because being broken implies being whole once. When a horrific accident deprives him of the one thing he loves—his talent as a fierce and explosive drummer—Lennon is left with a life chained by an abusive mother, by crushing guilt over a tragic past. A life he doesn’t want.
Dr. Georgia Starr is a legend. She’s one of the most successful neurosurgeons in the world, coming from a long-line of respected New York doctors. Her life is built around solving complex medical cases in order to bring relief and hope to sick children. But the one problem she can’t solve is how to live her life. How to shake loose the burden of being her elitist, arrogant father’s daughter. How to be free.
Can a man who despises his life and a woman who desperately needs to live find the answers, and love, with each other?

Lennon Reborn is the final book in the Preload Series, it can be read as a stand alone, but trust me, you want to read as much as you can about these men with their dark past and big hearts.
Lennon never felt like he belonged. He’s been through a lot and has many scars in his soul for them to let it feel loved. But Preload and his band are everything for him. He gives them all and makes sure they are ok, even when that means there’s a lot of him he doesn’t show. But when an accident leaves them all injured, and Lennon loses the only thing that gives him pace, he’s sure no one, not even the band, will want him.
Reading Lennon was painful. For someone who claims he can’t feel much, he feels a lot. And half the book you just want to cuddle him, put him in a cocoon and never let anyone hurt him again.
Georgia Starr is THE neurosurgeon in New York. But she’s a workaholic who never shakes lose. When she meets Lennon, she can’t let him go.
Gia gives Lennon a reason to fight, and Lennon gives Gia the way to get lose. It was amazing watching how these character come together. Lennon is blind to the family and love he has, while Gia’s family is just a name but never there. They give each other strengh to do what they have to and push the other to come out of their shells.
Gia isn’t your typical neurosurgeon with a God’s complex. She’s so caring and giving, and she can see exactly what Lennon needs.
But Lennon’s journey totally stole the show in this book. He goes through so many changes, grows so much and learns to accept and love himself.
Lennon Reborn is raw and gritty and beautiful. He reaches the bottom, and comes out a new man, yes. But the in between makes you heart clench and causes a few tears but is SO worth it. Scarlett Cole did an amazing job dealing and portraying such sensitive subjects and engages the reader deeply in her characters life.

Georgia ripped off her coat and tucked it around the
man of the floor. The air was sharp against her skin. Without thinking, she
used her hand to move the stray hairs from across his face, and the man gasped.
She checked his pulse and could tell the blood loss was getting dangerous.
“What’s your name?” she asked as she shone her light
in his eyes. The tightness in her gut relaxed a little when they responded as
they should.
The man hissed in a breath. “Lennon.”
“Do you know what day it is?” she asked.
“April . . . fucking . . . Fool’s . . . day.”
“Well, Lennon,” she said calmly, “the paramedics are
almost here, and we’ll get you out of here soon.” She reached for his uninjured
hand and squeezed it between hers. There was a spark of static between them,
white and powerful. His life force. The thought was overwhelming.
“Let me go . . .”
She released his clammy hand immediately. “I’m
sorry, I was just trying to give you some comfort. I—”
He reached for her hand, gasping. His fingers were
large against hers. “No . . . you should . . . let . . . me . . . go.”
His eyes rolled closed.
No! She wouldn’t let him die. She tapped the side of
his face until his eyes opened. “Wake up. I am not letting you go anywhere,”
she said, knowing that any semblance of the professionalism to which she
usually clung was slipping away. She believed patients’ stories about tunnels
of white light, and seeing loved ones, and auras dimming. And she knew everyone
needed to be allowed to leave if they really felt it was their time. But there
was something so different about Lennon. She could feel his life force vibrate
from his hand into hers, as if she taken hold of an electric fence. The energy
was slipping away from him, and she would do anything to put it back in him.
He tugged her down toward him, so his lips could
brush against her ear. “I’m . . . tired . . . of my life. Just . . . let me . .
. go.”
His eyes closed, again.
She rested her forehead on his. “Your work here on
Earth isn’t done, Lennon,” she said, tears burning her eyes. “And I am not
going to let you go.”
The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
