Angela's life pretty much sucked until she met Giacomo. Tall, dark and handsome, he would be everything she could wish for - if he weren't a penniless and homeless illegal Italian immigrant who happens to be four years her senior. Or is he? Penniless and homeless, that is. The truth that slowly unravels seems to be far more sinister and bloody. Suffice it to say that Angela doesn't exactly look forward to meeting his family, especially his godfather... Follow Angela on her journey as she struggles to find her place in a world beyond her wildest dreams - and nightmares.

#5 in Our Roots Series, but can be read as a stand alone. I do recommend reading at least one of the other books in this series before reading this one just so you'll know who everyone is. Ryder and Courtney are celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary in a big way, bringing their family together for the first time in years. Mia, Ryder's little sister, has been keeping a big secret from her family for months now and has to face them at her brother's anniversary party. CJ and Piti have just become engaged, but when CJ's little brother, Russ, shows up to the party, Piti finds herself in a scandalous situation. Everyone leaves the party that night with something that threatens to tear their relationships apart and they spend months fighting the battle of a lifetime....and they are all involved. When tragedy brings them back together again, they are forced to confront the secrets between them. But when you're all connected to the same roots, you need each other more than you know.

You must read "A Quarter Mile Away" before reading "Full Speed Ahead." This is the second instalment (sequel) for AQMA ** This will make absolutely no sense if you read this one first. ** #1 - First Person Point of View ~~~~~~~~~~ "She may be A Quarter Mile Away, but I'm catching up to her.

Highest ranking #2 in Chicklit #4 in Our Roots Series, but can be read as a stand alone. Courtney Ramsey is fed up with the way her life is going but all that starts to change when a mysterious, tattooed monster comes into her life unexpectedly. Can Courtney tame the wild beast or will he end up ruining her? "I know what you probably think of me, what everyone thinks of me...I'm no good, and you know what? That's true. I'm definitely no good." He looks over at me with the most sincere look in his eyes causing my heart to skip a beat. "But I want to be."

Someone walks into the room but I cannot see its face. It looks like a man and by the look of his posture, he seems very important. "Why were you in my territory?" His voice is strangely calm however I think its the calm before the storm. "I didn't know it was your territory! For gods sake how many times do I have to tell you people? Just let me go and I promise I won't say anything to anyone. Not like I have anyone to tell." The last part I said in a whisper. He didn't need to know the situation I was in. I hear the cock of a gun making me raise my head. The all too familiar sound ringing in my ears. "I don't believe you bitch, so you better tell me the truth or your brains are gonna end up on the wall." Ah there's the storm. "A gun doesn't scare me arsehole, I've had way worse things than that!" He steps forward into the light so I can see his features. He is extremely good looking but right now is not the right time to admire his beauty. I stare straight into his pitch black eyes, daring him to try harder than this. He smirks and leans forward searching my eyes. Before I can even register what's happening, he punches me in the face. *** Mature Content

He's popular. I have one friend. He's outgoing. I'm quiet. He has a girlfriend. I'm alone. I'm shy and he's purely arrogant. But they say like forces repel and opposites attract. And we're complete opposites. ════════ "Hello, my name is Juliette Hunter and I think you're an asshole" I said to him, turning my body away so I could, once again, try and grab the book I so desperately needed. "Your turn" I added, after a moment of silence, realising that he was too stunned to speak. His recovery was lightning fast however, as he replied with "Hi Juliette, my name is Levi Knight" He paused, allowing his eyes to roam my body, slowly taking me in from head to toe. I looked him in the eyes, defiant in not allowing him to get to me, as my cheeks began to burn. "And I think you could qualify as one of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on" he continued smoothly. I couldn't think of a smart remark in response to what he had said so I mumbled a "fuck off" before returning to the bookshelf, I was sure my face turned crimson. "Just out of curiosity," Levi continued, now leaning against the bookshelf. I wasn't going to warn him about the fact that it was slowly tipping over. "You're single right?" I wasn't going to tell him that his assumption offended me either. Instead I replied with "Just out of curiosity" I said in a mocking tone "You're single now too, aren't you?" "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" "You're not gonna leave me alone, are you?" I muttered, attempting once more, to grab the book I so badly needed for English. "You're really hot, you know?" "You're really annoying, you know?"
