When Helena finds a phone on the night train, she decides to text the first number in the list of contacts in order to figure out who it belongs to. ***** Helena Santos hasn't had the easiest life. At twenty-one, she's the legal guardian of her teenage sister, in the final year of her nursing degree, and working night shifts at her small-town's local bar. And things get a lot more complicated when she finds a phone on the train home and decides to text the first number in the list of contacts, in hopes of tracking down its owner. That contact? Adam Bauer; the charismatic, sweet, and refreshingly honest older brother of the person who lost their phone. As the two continue talking, they can't ignore the chemistry and growing feelings between them, but life is never that simple. To make things work, Helena and Adam need to juggle a troubled sister, a meddlesome ex-boyfriend, and one fat lawsuit - all intent on keeping them apart.

Preacher's daughter and Alabama native Grace Baxter has never really felt like she belonged. Sure, she has good friends and sure, people generally like her, but she's always felt like somewhat of an outsider. On the track to graduating second in her class and heading to the University of Alabama on a full-ride scholarship in the fall, Grace is ready to begin a new chapter. Enter New York State native Todd Rockefeller, who Grace quickly realizes is going to completely derail her plans to get out of Auburn as quickly and quietly as possible. When Grace and Todd first cross paths, they immediately have a distaste for each other. She thinks he's a jerk with no future and he thinks she's a prude with a superiority complex. However, one night changes that and suddenly Grace finds herself falling for the boy who everyone has written off as a loser, despite her strict father prohibiting her from seeing him. And although she's about 98% sure that getting involved with Todd will only result in headache and heartbreak, Grace decides to take a leap of faith and hopes with everything she has that he catches her. © Copyright 2017 Millie Morgan.
