"Listen, son. You've got a great girl waiting for you. Do her a favor and don't mess it up this time." I start to nod, but realize that didn't make sense. Who is he talking about? Josie M-Josie, or Brooke?

"Care to elaborate a bit more? Who do you mean?"

"I don't know. Who do I mean? You're the hotshit lawyer. Figure it out."

-

All Josie wanted was to live out her dreams with her childhood sweetheart Colt, a force of arrogance, hot-headedness, and southern charm. They had been through everything life had to offer together, so what was one more tragedy?

Apparently to Colt, everything. 

Seven years later in Boston, he is the epitome of smooth and steady with a new girl on his arm that he fixes to marry. The only problem is that he already is.

Join Colt on a trip down memory lane in Georgia as he struggles to figure out which part of himself holds fast. The fearless small-town boy with the hot head and quick mouth, or the man who has made something of himself in a big city.

Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA) by JeniRaeD

Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesign

Fight for Her by anne_kramer

~~~ Ryder's face turned angry as he pushed me back up against a wall. His face hovered inches from mine. I could feel his hot breath on my lips that smelled like cinnamon. With his chest pressed up against mine, my heart was beating rapidly while he smirked and leaned closer, if that was even possible. "Don't mess with me Ruby. You won't like the consequences." "And what would those be?" I asked breathlessly. His lips brushed against my ear and I drew in a breath. I could feel him smiling. "You'll see." ~~~ Ryder Daniels is arrogant, cocky, and your typical bad boy. He fights, rides a motorcycle, and attracts as many girls as a local Starbucks would. With his Greek God body, every girl falls for him, but he only breaks their hearts by playing them. Ruby Buchanan is the new girl, but not the nerdy one that would get picked on, but a fighter.

Teen Drama by LTMarshall

All she wants is to get accepted to Harvard and graduate with top marks to follow the career she has set for herself. Her entire life is about becoming an independent and successful vet. She has micro-managed it and planned it to the tiniest detail. Leaving no room for a social life or living her teen years like her peers. This year has had its ups and downs, with her stepbrother of almost ten years coming to live under the same roof after being raised apart after their parents married. The chaos and drama his appearance has brought since he despises not only his father but Kayla's mother too, has made home tense. He's a rude, defiant, and arrogant pain in her ass who is hellbent on causing trouble and listens to no one. Dane is the polar opposite in every way - Vain, oversexed, a playboy who takes nothing seriously except booze, girls, and his motorbike while he rebels in every way against his father for ripping apart his family. Looking like a teen idol, acting like someone who doesn't need to take accountability for anything in his life, Kayla honestly cannot stand him. She sees a loser who will live on daddy's money and drink away his youth while sleeping with every girl in the county. At 17, they have known one another most of their lives and never had any kind of friendly relationship. They have always been classmates but never friends and definitely not siblings. - but all that is about to change. A series of events pulls them closer, a forbidden and unexpected accidental kiss, and they plummet into confusion as feelings grow that neither expected. Slowly the walls come down between them, and they have far more in common than they ever imagined.

Playing The Game by just-A_potato

Not every blonde is stupid. In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made. Either you're not extremely smart, so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. All her life Avery Skinner has been told what to do and how to do it- by everyone. By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed. It hasn't been easy and it won't get any better but Avery is here to play. * Avery is going to face REAL life problems, and not nice people. She's going to deal with sexual harassment, mean words, rude people, pregnancy, injuries, steroids, etc.. In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be. There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.
