Being
the good girl isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Ashton Gray has grown
weary of playing the part to please her parents, and to be worthy of
the town’s prince charming, Sawyer Vincent. Maybe That’s why she’s
found herself spending time with Sawyer’s cousin, Beau, while he’s away
for the summer camping with his family. Beau is nothing like her
perfect boyfriend. He’s the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, dangerous in
ways she’s only day dreamed about, and the one guy she should stay away
from.
Beau
never envied Sawyer his loving parents, his big nice home, or his
position as quarterback. He loves him like a brother. Which is why he's
tried everything in his power to keep his distance from Sawyer’s
girlfriend. Even if he has loved her since the age of five, Ashton is
Sawyer’s girl, so therefore she’s off limits. But when Sawyer leaves
for the summer, Ashton, the one girl Beau would move Heaven and Earth
for, decides she wants to get into trouble. Stabbing the one person
who’s always accepted him and stood by him in the back, is the cost of
finally holding Ashton Gray in his arms. Is she worth losing his cousin
over?.... Hell Yeah.

What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.
Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.
Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.
Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.
He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.

Marcus
Hardy had hoped to enjoy a year away at college while he put the
summer he’d rather forget behind him. But instead, he’s jerked right
back to the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama due to a family crisis.
His dear ol' dad found himself a girlfriend only a few years older
than Marcus. So now his sister needs help dealing with their mother who
is mentally falling apart. The only bright spot to returning is the
fascinating red head who sleeps over several times a week. The problem
is she's sleeping in bed with his new roommate, Cage Watson.
Willow “Low” Foster needs a place to live. Running to Cage’s apartment every time her sister kicks her out isn’t exactly a long term solution. Juggling her courses at the local community college and a part time job doesn’t produce excess income. But Cage has a new roommate and suddenly sleeping over at her best friend’s apartment isn’t such a bad thing. Not when she gets to see those sexy green eyes of Marcus Hardy’s twinkle when he smiles at her like he wants her there.
Even though Cage seems a little territorial where Low is concerned, Marcus finds time to spend with Low without upsetting his roommate. Cage may use his small college baseball star persona to sleep with every hot female in his path but he’s still under the disillusion that when he’s through sowing his wild oats, he’s going to marry Low. Marcus intends to change that assumption for both Cage and Low. Until his carefully laid plans come crashing down with a revelation he never expected. He’ll have to choose between Low or his family. Because once the truth comes out.... there’s no other choice.

You
would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell
that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be
when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan
Moore, things are just getting weirder.
The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited.
Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.

Genre: Young Adult
Maybe
driving home after a few (or more) shots of tequila had been a bad
idea, but hell, he did it all the time. The cops had to have been
freaking bored to have pulled him over. He wasn’t even swerving! That’s
Cage York’s story and he’s sticking to it.
Unfortunately, his baseball coach isn’t buying it. Cage has a free ride to the local junior college for baseball -- or he did, until he’d gotten a DUI. Now, Cage has to decide: does he drop out and give up his dream of getting noticed by a college in the SEC, and possibly making it into the Major Leagues -- or does he give in to his coach’s demands and spend his summer bailing hay?
Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbor, had been the center of those goals. He’d been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she’d received the phone call from Josh’s mother saying he’d been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva’s carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible.
Cage isn’t real happy with his closet-sized bedroom in the back of a foul smelling barn, or his daily interactions with cows, but he knows that if he doesn’t make his coach happy then he can kiss his scholarship goodbye. Only a sick and twisted man would decide his punishment was to be working on a farm all summer. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows.
Oh -- and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he’s every seen. But she doesn’t count, because as hard as he’s tried to charm her out of her panties - he’s pretty sure she’d rather see him hung from the rafters than let him get a taste of her pretty little lips.

Paperback/Hardcover:
Genre: Young Adult
He
may have given her up without a fight, but Sawyer Vincent is far from
over losing the girl he’s loved all of his life. Instead of giving up
his best friend and the girl he thought he’d spend forever with, he
gave Ashton and his brother Beau his blessing. However, adjusting to
seeing Ashton wrapped up in Beau’s arms isn’t easy. Complicating
everything even more, Ashton’s cousin Lana is in town for the summer.
Sweet, kind, soft-spoken Lana, who gets under his skin. Just being near
her makes him forget all about Ashton and his broken heart. Lana is
everything he wanted Ashton to be except she isn’t Ashton. She lacks
the backbone to stand up for herself and confidence that Ashton wears
like a crown.
Lana McDaniel has lived her life in her cousin's shadow. While Lana struggled with her grades no matter how hard she tried, her mother praised Ashton's intelligence. She hadn’t been blessed with Ashton’s blond hair and flawless skin, but that didn't keep her mother from lamenting her naturally red hair and freckles. But none of that would have mattered if Ashton hadn’t always had Sawyer Vincent wrapped around her finger -- the only boy Lana wanted. Once Ashton let Sawyer go, Lana had been so sure that he’d move on. Determined to make Sawyer finally see her, she'd talked her mother into letting her spend the summer with Ashton. But Sawyer is still in love with Ashton, and Lana isn’t going to be anyone's rebound girl. No matter how yummy Sawyer Vincent’s kisses taste.
