1. LOVING ROMEO by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.
I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need. They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over. I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight. She was the right hook I never saw coming. Hating her was supposed to be my end game. Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.
But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart. Lucky for her—I was a born fighter. And she was definitely worth the fight.
2. WILD RIVER by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself. I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury. And I’d never minded a good verbal sparring. There was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen. Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another. But the more we fought—the more I craved her. Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager. One I was determined to win.
One time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share. I’d work my magic and she’d declare me the winner. I’d gloat, she’d sulk—that was my plan. She was determined to prove me wrong. But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.
She was so far under my skin I couldn’t think straight. Feeling things that I’d never felt before was one thing. But knowing the clock was ticking was another. Ruby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn’t offering forever. And now my world doesn’t work without her in it. But how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?
3. FORBIDDEN KING by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Saylor Woodson is the one girl I can’t have, and the only girl I want. She’s my best friend’s little sister, and completely off-limits.
We have a history, a connection—one that no one else knows about. One that I’ve tried hard to forget. I’ve kept my distance for years, which was easy because she’d been away at school. But now she’s home, and she’s everywhere I turn. And the way that I want her is unexplainable. She’s always on my mind. She’s sunshine on a cloudy day. So, I do everything in my power to keep my distance, because her brother is my best friend. My family.
But the pull is too strong. Overpowering in every way possible. I want to claim her and keep her and make her mine. So, we cross that line in the sand—slowly at first. Until I’m drowning in this girl and can’t find my way up for air.
Betrayal runs deep, and guilt hangs over me like a dark cloud. But I can’t seem to walk away, no matter how hard I try. Because she makes me want things that I never thought possible. And now that I’ve had a taste of forever, I’m willing to risk everything to keep it.
But can we weather the storm that’s coming for us? Only time will tell.
