Twenty-six-year-old Megan Connors's life is not going in the direction she thought it would. With her love life in the dumps, she doesn't think it could get any worse until her long-time crush, Shane asks to move in. After all, he has no clue that she's been in love with him for the past ten years.
But fate has a way of turning things around. As their relationship goes from "just friends" to lovers, life takes a turn for the unexpected. Shane isn't the person that Megan once fell in love with all those years ago. Shane has a past; deadly secrets that are only revealed once the FBI knocks on Megan's door. Secrets, tragedy, and deceit force Shane-and Megan-to make choices that will change their lives forever. Once Megan learns the truth, will she still want to be with Shane? Or will someone else be at the end of her broken road?
The Broken Road contains mature themes, heart-pounding action, edge-of-your-seat suspense, graphic violence and steamy romance, with a side of strong language, drug dealing, and a lot of sarcastic humor.

Lacey and her lifelong friend Hannah move into an apartment together. Ryan is now thirty-three and finds out Brenda has been cheating on him. Ryan moves in with Lacey and Hannah temporarily.
Lacey gets stuck going with her mother and her mother's new boyfriend on Vacation for two weeks. Hannah, Ryan, and their friends have a wildly drunken night. Mistakes happen and open a wild world of confusion and seduction between Hannah and Ryan.
The problem? If Lacey finds out, lives will be destroyed, so they fight to stay away from each other, yet the universe keeps bringing them back together.

Ryan had recently turned thirty-three. Hannah is days away from twenty. Neither one of them find that to be an issue. Why would it when he's your best friend's dad?

The dirty secrets are there.
