But she and her brother are starting over in a new city, in a whole new state—mistakes and problems are behind them! Now she has a job she enjoys (kind of), friends (not really), and a very satisfying social life (a total lie). But Eimear is in charge, and that’s how she likes it.It just takes one tiny instant for everything to go terribly wrong, but maybe the moment that she meets Griffin Moody is the world working perfectly. He’s generous and kind, handsome and strong, hardworking and talented. Eimear believes that it’s better to keep tight reins on life rather than be surprised by it, but there’s no controlling Griffin. And that’s ok, right? What could go wrong?All of it. How about her family in chaos, losing that job, and Griffin surprising her in a way that threatens everything? How can Eimear be her own hero and fix things, again? And how is Griffin going to fit into her life when she pieces it back together, because it doesn’t seem like she can go on without him? less

Aria McCourt is, that’s for sure. While other people seem to need more than what they’ve got, Aria is fine with what she has: a family that loves her and a good life in Tennessee!The only thing is, she wouldn’t mind adding a few people to that life. Like, a boyfriend would be fun! Maybe he might turn into a husband that would lead to a few kids, too. It’s just that no one has ever lived up to her requirements for that position…or maybe, she hasn’t lived up to what they want, either.So yes, she’s looking, but when she finds Cain Miller, it’s immediately clear that they aren’t going to be a couple. Despite how gorgeous he is, despite how much she admires him for so many things, despite him giving her heart palpitations when he stands too close…no, there’s just no way. It doesn’t make any sense at all: he’s the town success story now but his past is full of darkness and problems that no one can overlook, and on top of that, he lives all the way across the country in California. It’s just not meant to be.But suddenly, it’s happening! Life pushes Aria and Cain together in a way that they can’t be separated. Then the real question becomes, do they want to be? Are they better together or apart? Is it true love, or just circumstances forcing a relationship that never should have been in the first place? With her heart in the balance, Aria has to decide—how far will she go for love?? less
