GOING NOWHERE by Ali MarieMarenAll it took was one mistake that led me down a path going nowhere. I threw away my life goals, my family, my friends, and him to save my family’s reputation by running away with someone who I thought would be there for us. But I was wrong. He left too. Now, six years later, I return home with my daughter in tow. While everyone is happy for our return, the one person I need more than anything is messing with my head. One minute, he’s with me; the next, there’s another woman on his arm. And I have to admit, that hurts even worse than Tray leaving us. Will this second chance at life finally lead to my happy ending, or will I continue going nowhere as everyone passes me by?FordMy best friend’s little sister is the love of my life. And she left without so much as a goodbye. I did everything I could to get over her—booze, sex—you name it, I did it. But now, she’s back, along with a miniature version of herself. All those feelings I repressed when she disappeared have come back full-force, and there’s no denying them this time. We just have to get over the hurdles keeping us apart—including her brother. Will I finally get my girl and have the life I’ve always dreamed of, or will she leave me again, heartbroken and alone?
ALONG THE WAY by Avery SamsonThe rules say don’t fall for your best friend’s sister.But the rules don’t know her like I do.My life is changing in a hurry. New job, new town, new world. But one thing I can count on is my best friend at the other end. We’ve had each others backs since school. Nothing can change that. Well, except maybe his little sister. Her life is going the same way as mine. Literally. So it seems only right to invite her on a road trip with me to our new town. I mean, what could possibly go wrong cooped up with my best friend’s little sister for a whole week?Peter is the best man I know after my brother. His idea of transiting into our new lives is to spend a week driving there. Not exactly my idea of fun, but how can I resist a chance to torture my brother’s friend for an entire week uninterrupted? Besides, I can handle myself just fine in the wilderness with him if he tries something. Now, if I can just get that to happen my childhood fantasies might come true. I wish he’d just look past the rules and see how good we are together. Honor is overrated.
