When the two meet, sparks fly, chemistry is beyond explosive, and emotions reach a boiling point.

Instead of rebuilding himself into a man ready for a family, friendship and happiness, he sets forth to do some rebuilding of another kind. After all, if one deems himself helpless, why not be helpful? When he knocks on Morgan Smyth's door, the last thing he expects is that rebuilding what is currently before him would prove to be such a daunting task.

[This is NOT a sequel to either "Missed Me" or "Eenie Meenie"]

If you ever wanna meet a boy who is the spitting image of an actor, you might wanna pick another dream. Pretty boys don't always have such a pretty personality. Leander may have a cute face and a rockin' body, but he certainly is not the "southern gentleman" he claims to be. He doesn't think much of Kodi, either, not that she's distraught over it. Though she can't imagine why he would up and decide to hate her, either. Just when you think you're done with the small town of Lewisburg, Tennessee, there's another story that needs sharing. Leander and Kodi are an odd couple....perhaps that's why they aren't a couple at all. But perhaps people aren't always what they seem. [NOT a sequel to "Missed Me, Missed Me. Now You Gotta Kiss Me]

Piper Smithson and Liam Nelson were best friends. That was when they were seven and eight years old. Since moving away from small town Lewisburg , Tennessee , Piper has gone on to bigger and better things in her young, teenage life. She's evolved from a stubborn, mean little girl into a kind and sympathetic teenager. Moving away from that hick town was the best thing that happened to her! Until Daddy loses his job and they have to move into their summer home--which, coincidentally is their old house in Lewisburg, that Piper had no idea about. Immediately, her old, stubborn 'tude is returning with news of the move and only worsens when she literally bumps into Liam, though she doesn't recognize him. He's arrogant, he's country, he has an annoying accent and says "y'all" and "ain't" all the time. He, on the other hand, falls right back into being friends with her, easily charming her. Underneath his arrogant, cowboy exterior there's something special. Piper just has to open her eyes and see beneath the surface to figure that out. She never claimed to be a fast learner, though. But there's a reason in everything. There's a reason Piper's father lost his job, and there was a reason he kept the old house. There was a reason Piper found Liam again.
