"My high school sweetheart, the boy who shattered my heart, is back in our small town, and there will be no avoiding him for the next two weeks…
Only there is nothing boyish about Miguel Fernandez. The NFL's best rookie defensive end is even more wickedly handsome than he was four years ago—tall, with abs for days, all that unruly hair, and eyes so dark they swallow you whole.
And that's exactly what he's doing every time our paths cross.
I shouldn't let it affect me. After all, there was a good reason why we broke up in the first place. But no matter how much I try to put some distance between us, it's impossible to stay away when our childhood friends are getting married.
Not only is he attending the wedding. He is in the wedding—the best man to my maid of honor. There will be no escaping the boy who destroyed me completely with his betrayal or stopping the secrets I kept from coming out…
It Should Have Been Us is intended for mature listeners."
"I never expected to fall for my best friend's little sister, and I definitely didn't count on her breaking my heart.
Jade Cole entered my life like a tornado, and I never saw her coming. I should have been strong enough to resist her. After all, she was forbidden, my best friend's little sister, and the bane of my existence.
But the more she got under my skin, the harder it was to resist her. Until I couldn't fight back any longer. One kiss led to another, and the more I had her, the harder it was to let go. Then she dropped the bomb I never saw coming.
I have cancer.
And it’s like I've been sacked to the ground all over again. I've already lost somebody I love to cancer, and I can't do it again. But I also can't walk away from her.
Because Jade and I? We're like magnets. And no matter how hard you try to separate us, we'll find our way back to each other, regardless of the destruction we leave in our wake.

"Sebastian Black. The broody bad boy. The rockstar God with the most haunting voice I’ve ever heard. And, starting now, my next-door neighbor.
I never thought I’d bump into my teenage crush on campus, but when it happens, any childish illusions I had about him are erased with a few harsh words. I don’t expect to run into him again, but I’m wrong.
He’s at Blairwood to stay, and not just that, he wants me.
Sebastian claims he lost his muse, and I’m the only one who can bring it back, but I want nothing to do with the arrogant man.
That is until he proposes me a deal.
He’ll help me with my bucket list if I play my piano for him. The request is outrageous, but the more I think about it, the harder it is to find reasons to say no.
As we spend time together, I get to know the man hiding beneath the jaded exterior, and suddenly my crush doesn’t seem so childish after all. But there is no way that the world-famous rockstar will fall for a small-town girl like me…"
"Prescott Wentworth is my brother's best friend and teammate. We hate each other. But we also can't keep our hands off each other.
The day I met the star wide receiver, he was acting like a grumpy ass, and I was so over big, bulky men messing with my life. He was gorgeous, with wide shoulders, a chiseled jaw hidden behind a week's worth of scruff, and the meanest glare I've seen in my life. So what if he was injured during a game? At least he's alive, not that he appreciates it. Now it's a new school year, but some things never change.
Like the sizzling tension between Prescott and me every time we're in the same room. But the more we fight, the more I want to shut him up. With my mouth.
Then he sees me on a date with someone else, and something in him snaps.
The deal is simple: it's just sex, and nobody can ever find out. Especially not my brother.
But then the demons from my past come back to haunt me. The darker they become, the more I need Prescott. And I'm beginning to feel like he needs me too.

As her old insecurities start to return in full force and lies grow bigger than ever, the only thing left is the hope that her broken heart will survive this time around.

"Senior year can't come or end fast enough for Amelia Campbell. For the shy, nerdy girl-next-door that she is, high school is torture, and all she wants is for it to be over.

She says she hates him, but maybe the line between past and present, love and hate is thinner than she ever realized.
