Hello, Therians!
Today I have the pleasure of revealing the cover for By Referral Only by Lyla Payne.
This is the second book in the Whitman University series and will release Summer 2013.
And now for the great cover designed by Sarah Hansen at Okay Creations
SYNOPSIS
After being unceremoniously
dumped freshman year because of her family’s “new money” status, Ruby Cotton
has taken care not to put her heart on the line. No matter how enticing Emilie
and Quinn make it look, relationships are scary and hard—while a string of
flings is easy and fun. That’s what Ruby wants. Easy and fun. The only problem
is, when it comes to satisfaction in the sack, most of the boys at Whitman are
nothing but pretty window dressing and false advertising.
Ruby takes it upon herself to make campus life more fulfilling, creating a referral database that allows female students to rate their sexual experiences, thereby informing girls of what they’re getting into before agreeing to a date.
When her acting partner, Liam Greene, finally shows some interest, Ruby figures she won’t need to utilize the helpful gossip. He’s handsome, fun, and most importantly, not a guy she’d ever fall for hard enough to let him break her heart.
Not only that, but dating Liam gives Ruby the perfect excuse to say no to Cole Stuart.
As a star swimmer and heir to honest-to-God Scottish royalty, Cole sits at the top of Whitman’s A-list—but he’s also the lowest rated referral on Ruby’s website. The ratings make rejecting his repeated requests for a date a no-brainer, but her real reason for avoiding Cole runs deeper than a string of unsatisfied exes.
He’s gorgeous, he oozes sweetness and charm, and the electricity between them could power half of Whitman, but Ruby knows it will only last until his family or friends convince him she’s not good enough.
Before she knows it she’s falling anyway, waiting for the other shoe to drop but clinging to a tentative hope that Cole might be as different as he seems. When the secret behind his low ratings comes to light, that hope is torn apart, and Ruby wonders if she was right to give him her heart…and whether she has the strength to let him keep it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I’ve long had a love of stories.
A few years ago decided to put them down on the page, and even though I have a
degree in film and television, novels were the creative outlet where I found a
home. I’ve published Young Adult under a different name, but when I got the
idea for Broken at Love (my first New Adult title), I couldn’t wait to try
something new – and I’m hooked. In my spare time I watch a ton of tennis
(no surprise, there), play a ton of tennis, and dedicate a good portion of
brain power to dreaming up the next fictitious bad boy we’d all love to meet in
real life.
