Meghan

When I signed up to spend my final summer of college teaching art to underserved kids, I wanted a chance to reinvent myself, to go somewhere new and different. I never thought I’d end up in a small town in Georgia, living on a farm . . . with a man who clearly wishes I were anywhere but there.

But here I am. And even if Sam Reynolds doesn’t like it, I can’t help my attraction to him. Maybe I don’t want to help it. His deep brown eyes and slow Southern-boy drawl just do something to me. Something real and deep and maybe a little scary.

Sam

I don’t need excitement, and I sure don’t want romance. Fun is out of the question for a guy like me. I’ve had to be the steady, responsible one since my parents died, and serious is my way of life.

When this fiery red-haired art student moves into my farm house, I won’t deny that I’m tempted by her. But giving into temptation could mean radical change . . . maybe more than I can handle. Meghan makes me want to believe in crazy things like forever and happy endings.

She’s the last thing I expected. I’m the last one she needs. And this is just a summer fling.

Isn’t it?

.

An unrequited love finally gets a chance . . . and a broken soul finds a way to heal. But can forgiveness lead to forever?

Gia

Since the day my ex-boyfriend took his own life, I’ve been sleep-walking through the days and just barely surviving the nights. I didn’t think I was capable of anything more . . . until Tate Durham, the newest Philadelphia football hottie, found me sitting on the floor of a grocery store, crying over a bag of potato chips.

Tate’s patient friendship shows me that I might not be beyond hope. But what if I don’t have the courage to trust him with my heart?

Tate

I have been in love with Gia Capri since the moment I laid eyes on her back in college. Unfortunately, that happened to be the same night she met Matt Lampert. Even though that dude was my teammate, I knew he was bad news. Still, when it came to Gia, I didn’t stand a chance. 

But now he’s gone, and an unexpected meeting with Gia means I get a chance to prove myself. For a time, it feels like my care and honesty begin to heal what’s broken in Gia’s soul. Still, no matter how hard I try—or how much I love her—making her whole again might take more than I can give.

But love never gives up. And neither will I.

Let's get this out of the way up front: I can hear minds. And yes, that's about as much fun as it sounds. As long as I can remember, I've been the loner, the crazy girl who answers words that no one has spoken out loud. It doesn't help that I'm the perennial new kid in town, too; my family moves around so much that I'm constantly learning how to tune out a fresh set of voices.

But then we move to King, Florida.

It doesn't take me long to realize that this town is different. King was founded by magic and steeped in mystery, and I'd be intrigued if I wasn't worried about surviving.

Ms. Lacusta, the science teacher, leads some weird exclusive club of girls, and she's trying to recruit me. That doesn't sit well with Nell Massler, the ultimate mean girl whose extracurricular activities include blood rituals. And mine is the blood she wants next.

Entangled in a web of first love, quirky and secretive townsfolk, magic and blood spells, I discover the town's secrets aren't just bizarre . . . they're deadly.

Save Tomorrow is a series of paranormal romances that begins in the small town of King, Florida, winds through the Serendipity and Recipe for Death books, and finally culminates in Age of Aquarius, the inevitable showdown that ties all the characters together in a fight to stop the ultimate evil.

FEARLESS

BREATHLESS

I am not having the senior year I wanted.

First of all, my boyfriend--and the love of my life--Michael goes off to college, leaving me on my own in the mystical--and sometimes scary--town of King. I think I can take care of myself during my last year here, but it turns out there are all kinds of threats ready to prove me wrong.

First, I'm being stalked by a local preacher who suspects I have supernatural gifts. (He's right.) The hot new boy at school is flirting with me like crazy. Oh, and I'm being blackmailed by my chemistry teacher--who just might be a witch.

I'm going to need all of my many talents--and a little help from unexpected sources--just to keep my head above water. . .literally.

RESTLESS

Aside from the fact that I can hear other people's thoughts, I used to be a fairly boring girl. But then I moved to King, Florida . . .

and everything in my life went crazy.

When I agreed to allow Ms. Lacusta to help me develop my powers, I had no idea how deep and dark the journey would become. Trapped between fascination and fear, I end up moving farther away from my friends and family, even from my boyfriend, Michael.

Leading a double life forces me into decisions that will threaten my sanity and my future... and the very lives of those I love.

ENDLESS

After the insanity that was my senior year in high school, my life is back to what passes for normal. No witches are trying to kill me. No preachers are threatening to drown me. I'm away at college with my boyfriend, and I'm learning to control my powers. Everything is finally perfect . . . until it isn't.

When my new part-time job leads to more than I bargained for, I'm thrown into a deadly fight against forces of evil that I didn't even know existed. Mastering my extraordinary gifts--and drawing on the strength of an endless love--may be the only weapons that can guarantee my happily-ever-after.

Save Tomorrow is a series of paranormal romances that begins in the small town of King, Florida, winds through the Serendipity and Recipe for Death books, and finally culminates in Age of Aquarius, the inevitable showdown that ties all the characters together in a fight to stop the ultimate evil.

We’ve been best friends forever, but now I want more.

We’re going to be together, no matter what it takes.

Quinn

The guy who’s been my best friend since we were kids is now the star of the football team. He's dating cheerleaders and hanging out at wild parties. He's leaving me behind, and it's breaking my heart.

But every player knows that sometimes, you have to plant your feet, throw a pass and hope for the best. If this is my only shot with Leo . . . I'm not going to waste a single moment. I want to be the girl he can never forget.

Leo

My life is a friggin’ dream right now. Any girl I want is mine for the asking, and everyone treats me like royalty. What else could I need?

Apparently, the answer is . . . the one girl I shouldn’t want. The one who’s been my friend forever. The one who is too good for me. The one I can’t stop desiring.

I’m screwed.

Maureen 

I’ve had a crush on Smith Harrington since we were in college together. I knew he didn’t see me as anything more than his best friend—just one of the guys—but that didn’t stop me from weaving sexy fantasies about him.

Now, after years of maintaining a long-distance friendship, Smith’s moving to Burton to be my partner at the veterinary clinic practice I just took over—not to mention a tenant in my new house. After all this time, I should be able to handle working with him without getting hot and bothered. 

Or maybe not. 

Smith

I have wanted Maureen Evans since the first day I saw her, but she never seemed interested in taking things to the next level. Eventually, I figured we were destined to stay in the friend zone. And although we’ve lived hundreds of miles apart for years, to me, she’s still the one who got away. 

When Maureen asks me to be her partner at the veterinary clinic, I jump at the chance. Maybe all hope is not lost. Maybe with a little effort on my part, we can finally have our shot at love. So even as Maureen tries to maintain our just-friends bond, I push those boundaries until flirting crosses the line into something more. 

When friendship is no longer enough, there’s always love.

Elizabeth

I have one goal in mind for this holiday season: ignore it. With my complicated family, non-existent love life and demanding job, skipping Christmas seems like the best plan ever.

Until a Christmas tree lot pops up just outside my office, run by the hot and hunky Trent Wagner. 

Trent

I took this job because I needed to get away from my small Georgia hometown. Hauling a truckload of Douglas firs and blue spruces from my uncle’s farm in Michigan to sell in Florida sounded like the perfect plan to find the space I need to finally get my life on track. I didn’t plan on the instant sparks of attraction between us. 

But no matter how hard I fight that temptation, no matter how much she ignores our spark, something unexpected—and wonderful—may show up beneath the Christmas tree this year.

Who can blame me? Nico is the perfect guy: he’s kind, funny, smart . . . he’s a talented chef, and he looks like a Greek god.

When he helped me get this job, I was excited that we were actually going to live in the same town again. But then he moved to Chicago, sub-letting me his house, which is awesome for my budget but sad for my body. And my heart.

The fact that Nico's on my mind is the only excuse I have for why I used his name when I needed a pretend boyfriend in order to keep my new job. But now that I've done it, it's no big deal, right? I mean, he's in Chicago, and I'm in Florida. He'll never have to know . . .

Until the unexpected happens, and Nico’s back home. Suddenly, I have a lot of explaining to do.

Although I convince Nico to play along, each day it gets harder to make believe something that feels so real. How long can I keep pretending . . . before the truth comes out?

Ali

Flynn Evans was my high school sweetheart. Eager to see the world and leave behind our small Georgia hometown, we planned for an exciting new life together after we finished school.

But on graduation day, only one of us hit the road.

I spent the next eight years working hard, raising a daughter and helping my brother keep our family farm alive. Thinking about Flynn and what might have been is a pain I avoid at all costs. . .even when it's impossible to forget.

Flynn

Eight years after I left, an unexpected loss brings me home again. Those plans Ali and I made so long ago? Yeah, I’ve made most of them a reality. But I did it alone. 

When my return to Burton comes with a big surprise in the form of a daughter I didn’t know about, everything in my world is turned upside down—including my bitterness toward Ali.

Finding our way back to each other will open old wounds and stir up memories as we learn that maybe our first love is worth a second chance.

I thought we were over. Done. But is a second chance enough to last forever?

Quinn

No one is more surprised than me that Leo Taylor, the most promising--and maybe the hottest--tight-end in college football today, is my boyfriend. Again.

Sounds perfect, doesn't? I should feel like I’m living a dream. But our long-distance relationship isn't easy, and sometimes I’m afraid football will always come first in Leo’s heart.

Leo

I thought once Quinn was mine again, everything would be easy. Instead, we’re living a rollercoaster of uncertainty, complete with breathtaking highs and lows that threaten to break my heart.

When I’m playing football, I never give up. But when it comes to Quinn and me, I’m starting to think that winning might not be an option.

Twice we’ve been together, and twice we’ve nearly destroyed each other.

This is our last shot at forever—if we’re brave enough to take it.

Quinn

I thought I made the right decision—the selfless choice—but now it feels like I’ve hurt everyone, including myself. What I thought was true and solid and dependable is disappearing. I’m on my own, and I’m terrified.

Maybe it’s time to find out who I really am, even if that means running away from what I thought I needed. I can’t risk trying again with Leo until I know we have a real chance to make it, even though I can’t picture a future that doesn’t include him.

Leo

Once upon a time, not that long ago, I had just about everything I ever wanted. But if there's anything I've learned, it's that life is unpredictable. One twist can change it all, and suddenly, I'm alone. Even football, the one constant in all the insanity, somehow isn't enough anymore, because without her, everything else is empty. Meaningless.

I've got one shot left. One more chance to win her heart. We're not kids now, and I know that being good enough for Quinn isn't some game I can fake my way through. She's more than the prize; she's my reason for living. The world only makes sense when we're together.

And this time, I'm going to do whatever it takes to give us our happy ending.

Football is everything, but love is the only game that matters.

All I’ve ever wanted is Leo.

But football is my biggest rival for his love.

In the end . . . who wins the only game that matters?

Read the three-book series that will take you from the highs of first love to the painful lows of heartbreak and loss, all set amidst the pageantry and passion of football.

Nate: He's been in love with Quinn since junior high. She's always been his fierce protector, the one person who looks beyond his physical challenges to see who he really is. But Nate knows the hard truth. Leo holds Quinn's heart. He's the one she loves. Still . . . Nate won’t give up, not even when all seems lost. 

Quinn: She's tired of waiting for Leo to realize that he loves her. But even when he finally admits his feelings for her, Quinn’s loyalty to Nate and doubts about Leo could destroy their friendship.

Leo: He's the football star, the guy all the girls yearn to have. But the one girl he secretly needs--Quinn--is the one he's afraid to want. He knows she's too good for him, but he can't seem to resist loving her anyway . . . no matter what the cost to all of them.

Amid the joys and heartache of first love, crushing loss and unthinkable decisions, Leo, Quinn and Nate struggle to find their way forward without losing each other.

PLUS an added, never-before-published short, FOURTH AND LONG AND the brand-new Keeping Score prequel book, YOUNG. 

Rilla

I’ve never been farther than twenty miles from my family's farm. My overprotective father wants me to marry our church's youth pastor and settle down into the life he's chosen for me, but I’m not sure that's what I want anymore. I’m ready to make my own choices, and that includes starting my own PR business and maybe even moving off the farm, no matter how much my dad hates it.

When Mason Wallace, the owner of the local bar and hot spot, asks me to work for him, I’m both excited and terrified. Excited, because it's just the opportunity I’ve wanted. Terrified because Mason, with his intriguing hazel eyes and drool-worthy body, is the kind of guy who makes my knees weak and my heart pound. 

Mason

Once upon a time, I had the perfect career, a gorgeous wife and a beautiful baby girl. I was on top of the world, until it all shattered with the sudden death of my wife. Now I’m back in Georgia, running my bar and trying to take care of my family. And I need all the help I can get.

When that help comes in the form of shy and quiet Rilla Grant, I can see already see the trouble ahead. I’m not interested in finding love again, but damned if I’m going to let Rilla’s father run her life and make her ashamed of innocent choices. 

Even after we’re forced into a decision that will change our lives forever, I’m determined to keep my heart out of the equation. I’m not going to suffer again.

But sometimes love isn't the easy choice. Sometimes it's the only one.

When every day is a battle between life and death, can two warring hearts find healing in each other?

Emma

I'm a naturopath, a vegan, and an eternal optimist. I'm passionate about my patients, quick to fight for what I know is right for them, and not about to be pushed around by some arrogant doctor like Deacon Girard. My first year on the oncology wing at St. Agnes Hospital in Harper Springs is a rollercoaster of extraordinary victories and devastating losses. The only reason I'm still here? The friends who have my back . . . and maybe, the man who tempts my heart even as we argue constantly.

Deacon

I'm a gifted doctor, a former farm boy, and a confirmed realist. I've worked hard to build an oncology wing in my hometown, and I've assembled the perfect team to treat the patients who come to us for healing and hope. But one member of that team lives to fight me at every turn. She drives me crazy, and I want to kiss her. I can’t decide if I should push her away . . . or make her mine.

But then, life can change in a heartbeat . . .

These are the men of the 94th ID. They fight with honor, they defend their nation and their brothers fiercely, and when they love, they do it with single-minded passion.

Maximum Force

Max Remington has never been anything but a soldier. The oldest son in a family that served our nation for generations, he’d never considered any other path. The army is his life, his home and his one true love.

Until he meets Samantha Crewe.

Temporary Duty

Kade Braggs grew up wild and free, surfing on a California beach without much ambition, until an impulsive decision led him into joining the Army. What started out as a joke turned into a career, and now he’s a company commander, leading several platoons of soldiers. Still, Kade does it all on his own terms; he plays as hard as he works, and having a good time is non-negotiable.

Until he meets Leah Samson.

Hitting the Silk

Once upon a time, Delia Rollins was an Army wife, until the unthinkable happened. Now as a young widow and school teacher, she’s vigilant about protecting her heart. Her number one rule for the future? No more military men in her life. She can’t handle the risk.

Until she meets Shaw.

When every day is a battle between life and death, can two warring hearts find healing in each other?

Emma

My first two years on the oncology wing at St. Agnes Memorial Hospital were . . . tumultuous. The near-constant tension between Dr. Deacon Girard and me, a disastrous relationship, and losing a favorite patient might have made me second-guess my decision to move to Harper Springs . . . if it wasn't for my friends. Having them in my life makes everything else bearable.

When one friendship begins to grow into something more, well, maybe it's time to move on and forget about Deacon.

If only I can . . .

Deacon

I haven't run away from a damn thing since I was a kid, but I'll admit that's exactly what I did after things got too intense between Emma and me. I took off for Eastern Europe, telling myself that I was there for kids who needed my brand of medical expertise. But the truth was that I had to get away from Emma . . . because what I feel for her scares the hell out of me.

I've been down this path before, and I know the kind of pain love brings with it. I don't need to do this again. So even after I return to St. Agnes Hospital, I try to forget what was between us. I ignore my own heart.

For as long as I can . . .
