When Lydia and Jacob reunite after years of separation, they must confront hidden secrets and past wounds to see if love can heal the deepest wounds.

***

Gorgeous swimming champ Jake Somersby wants his best friend, Lydia Coleman, to become his girlfriend. They're meant for each other, right? Not when their worlds are changing, because sometimes growing up means growing apart.

Frustrated by Lydia's constant reminder that they are "just friends," Jake releases himself from their friendship and finds himself in the arms of stunning Elsie Richards. 

When the college years roll in, Jake and Lydia don't talk to each other until one day when the two cross paths again.  Will they rekindle their friendship and dare to go one step further?

Join Lydia and Jake in Keepsake of My Love, a  coming-of-age romance about first love, the complexity of pain, and forgiveness that wields the power to heal.

Kingston Spin-off #2 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE KINGSTON SPIN-OFF SERIES! Brody Kingston is fed up with his life. Between a lying ex-girlfriend, a football team he's had enough of, and living with his parents at 26, he's done. An offer from the New York Giants changes all that, and then he meets her. Gemma Ashton is the CEO of Gemma Cosmetics, and has everything she needs. A nice apartment, endless money, anything she wants. A handsome boyfriend, and a happy life right? But, with her mom going through chemotherapy, basically all hope lost. She finds herself weeks later through the edgy football quarterback that changes her life. *I don't own any of the pictures!* ~~~~ My eyes don't leave her as she tries to talk to him and he starts fuming at her. "What's her name?" I ask Cruz as he looks over at me. I want her. "Brody, oh hell no. Don't think about what I know you're thinking" he tells me as I shake my head no. I wouldn't help her cheat on him, I'd help her break up with him and date me this minute if I knew who she was. "Is she the one he talked about?" I ask as I watch her through the window as she takes a few glances at me. "Yeah, her names Gemma Ashton. She and her mom run Gemma Cosmetics, she's a millionaire but I don't know why she's with him." he tells me as I smile. Not for long, I'm going to do everything in my power to get that girl with me. I want her more than I want to win the Super Bowl this year. "Gemma huh?" I ask him as I see her watch me through the window as Christian has his back towards me. I watch her as she speaks to him and when he hugs her into his body my fists tighten as she gazes at me. I'm getting her. *Highest Rank #2 in moving forward!*
