I have to give a special shout out to Heather Davenport. Two years ago, I stepped outside of myself and asked you (a stranger at the time) to beta read Don’t Let Go. I still remember how nervous I was waiting for your feedback. From there, a business relationship blossomed that turned into a friendship I cherish everyday. It’s amazing how close I can feel to someone I’ve only met in real life once. I’m always here for you whenever you need me.
Thank you to my team who always go above and beyond. Heather Davenport from Book Plug Promotions, Sommer Stein with Perfect Pear Creative Covers, Nichole Strauss and Christine Borgford with Perfectly Publishable for editing and formatting, and Emma Mack with Ultra Editing Company for proofreading.
Lastly, to my family, you sacrifice and sacrifice for me, so I can live my dream. Thank you with all my heart!

My name is Rob Winters, aka, Jackass. Even to my closest friends.
I wasn’t always so arrogant and condescending. It only took one night to change me—one point twenty-seven seconds, to be exact.
When tragedy struck, I promised myself, no matter what, unbreakable chains would lock my heart. If one veers too close or digs too deep, the cruel and mean bastard many hate is unleashed. My plan has succeeded for the past seven years. I’ve driven away a girlfriend and killed a few friendships along the way.
Then, just when the chains loosen around my heart, she walks into my life—or worse, the room next door. She strolls into my house with her bouncy brown curls and banging body, slithering herself through the smallest opening and making me crave the one thing I’ve denied myself these past years.
Her smell, her eyes, and her caring nature are everything I’m not worthy of enjoying. How long do I have to struggle with the demons that haunt me every night before the torture ends? Forever, I remind myself, but the links protecting my heart break each time Paige Kensington enters the room.

Love Surfaced

The equations are simple.
Piper Ashby + Brad Ashby = Twin Siblings
Brad Ashby + Tanner McCain = Best Friends
Piper Ashby + Tanner McCain = Off limits
Tanner and I abided by the rules. We stayed on our designated sides of the relationship circle.
Ignoring swarming butterflies.
Brushing off skipped heartbeats.
Settling on lingering stares.
Here’s the secret … a hand extended over that invisible line once, exponentially changing the equation. I was convinced we could make our relationship work until Tanner broke the trust he embedded in me from the age of seven.
One deceit of mega proportions and the relationship we built for that short month vanished. I swore never to speak to him again and it’s worked. Until now—two years later, when my brother’s wedding places me face-to-face with the best man—Tanner McCain.
Leaving one equation to be solved. Can love surface twice?
