The Forever Fight

Dani Malone has gotten under my skin.
When the whirlwind with ice purple hair and a don’t-look-in-my-direction attitude sits down next to me at the bar, it’s game over for my heart.
I’ve known Dani for years, but we’ve never truly known each other.
Fresh off broken hearts, I’m ready to find my forever love, but Dani is guarded. The sunshiney girl I remember is grumpy and closed-off, and she has zero interest in the player she remembers me as.
I’m not that guy anymore, and even if I was, Dani is not a game. She’s more. She’s what I want, and I can tell she wants me, too, even if I’m stuck at the top of her hell no list.
What she doesn’t understand is I’m no quitter. It’s now my mission to find out who hurt her, fix what they broke, bring out her smile again, and protect her heart.
Nothing worth having is easy, and Dani is worth everything. So I’m going to be patient, put in the work, and keep fighting for the forever I want. With her.
The Perfect Love

Chelsea Winters knocked me on my ass.
Meeting the curvy, auburn-haired goddess was the last thing I was expecting on my first day at a new college. But when she shows up at the lake house I share with my seven close friends, she looks like my literal dream girl.
Then we spend a few hours talking, and I know without question, she’s meant to be mine.
Until she panics, runs away, and tries to ghost me.
But our campus isn’t that big, and it doesn’t take long for us to cross paths again, and when we do, I realize how terrified Chelsea actually is.
Afraid to trust or let anyone past the upbeat, confident exterior she puts up.
Which means it’s now my mission to show her she’s safe with me. She can trust me with her hurt and her heart. If she needs to go slow, I’ll crawl, as long as it’s to her.
We’re both here for a fresh start, trying to heal from our pasts, but the more time I spend with her, the less I’m worried about the past because all I see is my future with her.
There might not be any such thing as the perfect love, but I know without a doubt, she’s my perfect match, and I’ll do whatever it takes to be the man she shares her future with.
The Perfect Love is an emotional, heartwarming, and steamy college romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Though it’s not a dark romance, it deals with some heavy topics. Be sure to check the trigger warnings in the front of the book or click here for more information.
The Future Play

Amanda Hamilton threw me off my game.
From the moment the strawberry-blonde heartstopper walked into my life, everything changed.
She’s a mesmerizing force of nature and an absolute queen who deserves the world.
The thing is, I’m an idiot who’s already in a committed relationship with baseball. Without understanding how much she means to me, I screw everything up, and when I try to apologize, I’m met with an icy stare and a demand to prove I mean it.
As I work to do that, showing her my sincerity and slowly taking down the walls around her heart, I finally see the heartbroken girl beneath who wants nothing more than to be chosen and loved.
Once, I thought I couldn’t have baseball and love, but with every second I spend with Amanda, I know it’s no longer a choice. She wormed her way into my heart, and now it’s my job to prove I’m worthy of hers.
Every step I’ve made has been a play for the future I want. Now I’ll do anything to show Amanda that while baseball may have been my first love, she’s the love of my life, and the only person I want to share my future with.
The Future Play is an angsty, new adult baseball romance featuring a girl who doesn’t trust anyone with her heart and a boy determined to prove he’ll keep her heart safe. Told over two time periods in Jamie & Amanda’s relationship (how they fall in love & what happens when life gets hard), you can expect plenty of swoony and steamy moments, a touch of heartache, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
