Description:

Beneath the Stars (Book 1) Alina Carson meets Chase Adams when she's eleven years old, after he moves in down the street carrying nothing but a chip on his shoulder and dimples in his cheeks.

Immediately she falls, loving him before she even knows what loving is. But becoming best friends with Chase's little sister means that he's off-limits, no matter how much their connection screams for something more.

Chase never cared much for following the rules. Abandoned by everyone who was supposed to love him, he's broken and insecure, choosing to push others away before they have a chance to hurt him. But there's something about the girl with golden hair, and before he can stop himself, he's sneaking through her window, whispering his deepest secrets beneath her glow 'n stick stars.

As time goes on and they get older, he decides to give their love a chance, no matter what anyone else thinks. But old habits die hard, and when tragedy strikes, Chase is back to doing what he does best.

Ruining everything.

Chase disappears, and years pass, leaving Alina with no choice but to pick up her broken pieces and move on. Until one day, he's back. All grown up and taking over his family's business.

When Alina and Chase are thrown together and forced to work in the same building, old feelings resurface, and Alina quickly realizes that Chase is on a mission, determined to right the wrongs of his past.

Starting with her.

Beneath the Stands (Book 2) Elliot Carson left Sugarlake and has never looked back. Revered as the next big thing in basketball, Eli's a star until an injury ends his career, sending him spiralling with no direction.

But he won't go home.

He can't.

Instead, he accepts a coaching gig at Florida Coast University, determined to leave his past behind. But fate has other plans when Becca, his sister's best friend, shows up as a student and, even worse, becomes the new team manager.

Rebecca Sanger is the preacher's daughter and the town's disappointment. When she ignores her family's demands to come home, she's cut off and needs a job so she can stay enrolled at FCU. She thought she had everything figured out, until Eli Carson - the person she hates more than anything in the world - ends up being her new boss.

Forced together, Becca and Eli's hatred turns to heat, and they start an affair. But disaster quickly strikes, ripping them apart.

Years pass, and Becca's back home, under her parent's thumb, and living a mundane life. When Eli shows up out of the blue with a fiancée in tow, Becca is tasked with planning their wedding.

There's only one problem.

Becca still loves Eli.

And he hates her.

For the second time in their lives, they're forced together, and they'll find out just how thin the line is between hate . . . and a love that lasts a lifetime.

Beneath the Hood (Book 3) Jackson Rhoades has a perfect smile and a broken heart. When he gets offered his dream job in Hollywood, he packs up his shattered pieces and leaves Sugarlake for good.

He thought he was hired to restore classic cars, but instead his new boss tasks Jackson with keeping an eye on his unruly nineteen-year-old daughter.

Jackson agrees reluctantly, not realizing doing so will change his life forever.

Blakely Donahue is one of the biggest influencers in North America. She's followed by millions, but has never felt more alone. Obsessed with counting calories and drowning under the pressure of perfection, she's barely holding herself together. When her father's new employee starts hanging around, Blakely can't help but feel a pull.

Jackson is nine years older and entirely off-limits, but he's the first person to look beyond the surface and see Blakely for who she truly is. Before either of them can stop it, they're crossing boundaries and breaking all the rules.

They know better than to get too close, but for some reason, neither can stay away.

Even if it means destruction for them both.

Beneath the Surface (Book 4) Lily Adams ran away and never looked back. She got herself clean and lives a sober life, working hard to give her son a good home in a place where they'll be safe.

It's been years since she left Sugarlake, and the last thing she'd expect is her brother sending someone to find her.

Mason Wells is the best private investigator in Tennessee. Tasked with the mission of hunting down Lily Adams, he knows he's the perfect man for the job. At least he thought he was, until he actually finds her.

Immediately, Mason feels a pull. He needs to know the perky, dark-haired woman and the son she loves more than the world.

Before he can stop himself, he's inserted himself into their lives, fake name and all, and even though he tells himself it's temporary, every day he spends with Lily, the weight of his secrets push down on him more.

When Mason's past catches up to him, putting Lily and her son's life in danger, he knows he has to do something major to keep them safe.
