They wanted forever... but sometimes forever's not that easy. Ellen has loved Jagger since she was five and he was seven when they kissed through the chain link fence at school. She’s had their wedding planned since she was twelve and is ready for a happily ever after with him, but life just isn't that neat and tidy. Although they lost contact over the years, which broke her heart, during Jag's senior year in high school, sophomore Ellen catches his eye once again and their friendship is back on. When things between them gradually develop into something more, Ellen wants to give herself completely to Jag, but he’s not so sure he wants to risk their relationship in taking things to the next level. When Jag is drafted to the Dodgers as the hot, new pitcher of the team, Ellen decides to go with him, transferring colleges and leaving her friends and family behind. But things get more and more complicated when busy schedules, a slimy agent and a supermodel disrupt their lives, which makes Ellen question whether they’ll ever get their perfect forever.

Jag Jensen and Ellen Love had been best friends their whole lives until he turned thirteen and started noticing girls his own age, but that didn’t mean he stopped watching out for eleven-year-old Ellen. By his senior year in high school, baseball had taken the front seat in his life, with a scholarship to college and a pro career looming on the horizon, when sophomore Ellen caught his attention and they struck up their friendship again. Although Ellen wanted more, Jag didn’t want to drag her into what he knew would be a crazy life, but love has a way of deciding one’s future, and eventually they became a couple. Ellen followed him to California as he began his pro career, but his wild and hectic lifestyle screwed everything up. Now Jag is lost, realizing he’s never been without his best friend in his life. Learning to live without Ellen doesn’t settle well with him, so while trying to remain at the top of his career, he also wants to get his girl back, which proves to be more difficult than he thought it’d be. Will Ellen give him another chance or does that sort of thing only happen in the sappy romance novels she always used to read? Jag hopes she’s willing to try again as he puts his heart on the line for the woman he knows will always be his forever and a day. This is the second book of the True Love Trilogy. Due to language and sexual content, this book is not recommended for readers under age 17.

Gable Powers had all the makings of everything my father had ever warned me about: a reputation that was anything but stellar, a dirty mouth that had me shivering at the things he uttered in my ear, and a body (oh, God, that body) that was covered in tattoos, all of which added up to a solid ten-point-oh on the bad-boy scale. The first time I met him, I instantly loathed him. The second time was even worse. He was a jerk. He was an ass. He had secrets. He was nothing I thought I ever wanted. So why couldn’t I resist him? New adult. Not recommended for readers under 17.

Ryker Powers was the biggest prick I’d ever met. He was also my biggest mistake. He’d taken what he wanted then left, and I detested him for it. Not that the jerk had cared to stick around long enough to know how I felt. Everyone thought he was a perfect gentleman with all his quiet intensity but I knew better. I knew he had a filthy mouth. That he liked things dirty. He may have had people fooled into thinking he was a nice guy but I knew exactly who he was. He was a bad boy who’d ask for a light from the devil himself. And I wanted to see him burn. Until I realized—to my utter horror—that what I really wanted was him. Who was going to get burned now?

Zeke Powers should’ve come with a warning label. He was hot. He was sexy. And he was a bad boy through and through. The things he said to me had me blushing and my toes curling. But he was someone I totally didn’t need walking into my life, screwing up the plans I’d made and turning my world upside down. Although I’d been living a no-frills, no-fun existence, I felt it was necessary to get where I was going. Keep your eye on the prize and all that. But Zeke was determined to prove to me that what I desired most—him—was just what I needed. New adult. Not recommended for readers under 17.
