They fell in love in high school and found their way back to one another despite the odds. But can first loves really be forever? For Reed Johnson, the dream was always football. But then Nolan Lennox took over his heart. She was the good girl who made him want to be better-made him whole. Whatever man he was becoming, he owed to her. The life he dreamed of was right there to take-bowl games, national championships, and maybe...going pro. But a hundred of miles of desert between them and four long years of college ahead might prove to be the toughest challenger of all. Hearts can't help but want to play defense when they're wounded, and some wounds seem impossible to heal. But Reed Johnson isn't the kind of man who backs down from the challenge. He digs in, and he fights-just like the woman he loves taught him to do. But is he willing to give up his first love just to keep his true love? Or will he be too late?

Kensington Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best friends, her posh private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with her piano until her audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the best music programs in the world.Instead, a nightmare took over. It didn't happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly-a tiny thread that evil somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from her. She was suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an existence she didn't choose-one determined to destroy her from the inside, leaving only hate and anger behind. It didn't help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that's spoken about in whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined with Kensington's, every interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen Harper was consumed with darkness, and it held onto his soul for years. When Kensington looked at him, she saw a boy who'd gotten good at taking others down when they threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she looked, the more she saw other things too-good things...things to admire.Things...to love. Things that made her want to be reckless.And those things...they were the scariest of all.

I'm not supposed to be here.Death has come for me more than once, and each time it's been a boy who's stood between me and my final breath.I called him Christopher when he saved me as a child. When he came into my life again, only months ago, I knew him as Wes. Just as he did the time before, he disappeared the moment he made sure I was out of harm's way; as if I didn't need any more saving.This time, though, death left me with a reminder of how powerful it is. I know it meant to strip me of my spirit again, but it failed.Even so, I know I need Wes to survive. Our souls are woven together somehow, our every breath in sync. I feel it, even though everyone says I shouldn't.The world thinks he's missing.His loved ones don't want to believe he's dead.Only I know just how special he is.I'm going to find him and bring him home, where he belongs. Together, we'll face impossible-we'll rewrite our ending.And when the bad guys come calling, we will always win.

Andrew Harper grew up in a house marked by tragedy. His older brother Owen did his best to shelter him, but you can only be protected from life's pain for so long. Eventually, you end up just feeling numb...and isolated. Loneliness was the one constant in Andrew's life. Until one girl, met by chance in a high school hallway, changed everything. Emma Burke was a mystery and all that was beautiful in this world, the only air Andrew ever wanted to breathe. She took the lonely away, and filled it with hope and color, and Andrew would do anything to keep her safe, happy and whole. But sometimes, what feels good and right is what ends up hurting us the most. And when Andrew and Emma are faced with an impossible decision, Andrew is tested to see just how far he's willing to go for the girl who owns his heart. Cuts are deep. Scars are left behind. And revenge beckons. When Andrew finally gets his chance, in college, five years after his first love broke him completely, he finds out old feelings don't really disappear just because you say you hate someone. The more he tries to avenge all that he believes he lost, the more he uncovers the real story of what happened years before. Love is wicked. But a restless heart is never satisfied beating on its own. Can Andrew and Emma make it right before it's too late, or will the ties that bind them now destroy their only chance at a future?

I'm the selfish one. I suppose that's the nicest thing people say about me. I've heard the other things, too. "Paige Owens is a pretty girl with nothing else to offer. She's just a good time at a party. She's stupid, heartless, cold and useless. All she cares about is getting a guy to look at her. Why would anyone want to be her friend?" Some of those things are true. Others were true. They're all hurtful. None of it matters. I'm ready to make the hard choices. I'm ready to face the consequences. I'm ready to be the girl I was before, and I'm done being the one who lost her way. I'm ready to become the girl Houston Orr sees when he looks at me. Houston isn't a star athlete. He doesn't play in a band. He's never going to be president, and his life is so far away from simple and easy it isn't even funny. He wasn't part of my plan. But I'm starting to think plans are overrated, and maybe our stories are what we make them. And mine depends entirely on me, and the choices I make...starting now. Houston is my fairy tale. He's perfectly imperfect. He's poetry and life. He's truth and heartbreak, all rolled up in a tall body with dark hair, broad shoulders and green eyes that lull me into submission. He's nothing I ever thought I wanted, but the very thing I need. He's the only guy I've ever really loved, and he thinks I'm a princess. I fell into him, and now I'm holding on. But sometimes life takes away our ability to choose. Sometimes...things aren't in your control. Sometimes, it hurts to be selfless. My only hope is that when it comes time to choose, I get it right. Welcome to my once upon a time and wish for happily ever after.

I'm that teenaged girl who has MS. You haven't met me, but you've seen me around. You probably know my sister. We're twins, and she's the pretty one. Maybe you've heard about my reputation, how much I like to hook up at parties-how easy it is to get me in bed, get what you want, and forget about me after. Forget what you think you know. I'm leaving that girl behind. College is all about new beginnings. So from now on-I'm just Cass. And the rest...it isn't written yet. And no one else gets to write my story for me. -------- "Tyson Preeter doesn't do can't." That's exactly what I want people to think when they see me. I am strong, invincible, confident, intelligent-arrogant. I'm the man who always finds a way around, over and through-until there's nothing left. Since losing my ability to walk six years ago, I've relearned life. I don't need sympathy. I don't want charity. And I don't do love. It's better this way, saves my disappointments for me, and me alone, and it saves my strength for everything I want. But Cass Owens is about to wreck everything. She's about to steal all of my strength away from me, because she needs it more. She's about to break all of my rules, and break down all of my walls. She's about to own me...completely. And I'm about to let her. * This is the second book in the Falling Series. Book 1, This Is Falling, is out now. Each book can be read as a standalone and will focus on a different couple.

Casey Coffield has a growing list of personal flaws he keeps locked away in his head: He's never on time. His list of IOUs to his best friend is endless. Money is always short. Goals are never in reach. Oh, and he's decided to add college drop-out to that list, too. He doesn't really think that last one's such a bad thing, but his family insists it is, so it stays on the list. On paper, he's a zero. But in person, when he's mixing tracks for a sea of bodies at the hottest clubs and parties, he's downright irresistible. Just-right stubble on his chin, body of a boxer and a smirk that stimulates all the right nerves-women have never been a problem. They flock to his swagger and fall for his charm...fast. All except for this one. Purple hair, gray eyes, a raspy voice and sass, Murphy Sullivan is a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. And her and Casey? They have history. He can't remember it, but she wrote a song about him-and it's not exactly a love song. But it is good. Damn good. And uncovering her inspiration just might be the key to solving a few of his shortcomings-not to mention open doors to his own big break in the music industry. But sometimes dreams get messy when they collide. Sometimes life changes patterns. A past paints the wrong picture and futures get cloudy. The only question that remains is who will you choose when the dust settles-you? Or the girl of your dreams? ** This book is a Falling Series spin-off. It can be read as a standalone. **

Her husband left, and her own dreams became a distant fantasy-always second to fighting never-ending battles to make sure Max was given opportunity, love and respect.
