Zane and Celeste discover just how thin the line between love and hate truly is, falling harder than either of them thought possible...

Krystina offered me her heart, and I’d given her mine freely and without reservation.

As hard as I tried, I had no way to save her—especially after she changed all the rules.

Krystina Cole was a girl on a mission. She had big dreams and aspirations, none of which included a man by her side.

Back in her hometown of Ruby Falls, Aria Heart is determined to find herself and the happiness that has always felt just out of reach. And it would be a lot easier to do that if her parents weren’t so close by, reminding her just why she left town as soon as she could, and if the house she just purchased wasn’t already giving her problems. Just when Aria starts to second-guess her decision, Tide Goodman knocks on her door and shoves his way under her defenses.

Colton Wild isn’t just the famous football player everyone sees on their television screen. I met Colton one summer vacation when we lined up on opposite sides of a flag football field.

I thought I’d never see him again. And for ten years, I didn’t.
