NEVER TEAR US APART (#1)
​
It's been two years since Cruz and his stepsister Ellery collided in Cherry Cove, Georgia, and the former All American has used time, distance, and baseball to forget about the girl he could never have. With a future in the majors all but certain, he has one last summer to live it up with his brothers before life in The Show becomes a reality. And that is exactly what he intends to do.
With Elmhurst Prep now behind her, Ellery is ready to move on from the southern society she was born into and start a new life that doesn't include pearls and polo shorts, but a cup of French roast and a good mixtape. But before she goes, she is determined to use her last summer among the polished and privileged, to find out who is behind the smear campaign against her daddy's memory.
When chance and circumstance throw Cruz and Ellery a curveball and bring their worlds crashing together again, the two must decide...sit the bench, or step into the batter's box and go down swinging.
TRIP THROUGH YOUR WIRES (#2)
​
In the spring of ’92, Jake and the rest of the Highland College baseball team are gearing up for what promises to be another triumphant season. With his best friend Cruz happily settled with his girlfriend Ellery, and his own friendship with Jenica Miller heating up, life is good. Scouts are showing interest, the major league is within reach, and the shadow of what happened last summer in Cherry Cove is in the past where it belongs.
Falling for Jenica Miller was never part of Jake’s plan. With her fiery spirit and captivating beauty, she is the exception to every rule. Yet, just as great as his affection for her is his overwhelming need to protect her. Jake is determined to keep her safe, doing whatever it takes to keep both the secret of last summer and the role Jenica played, buried.
With the summer of ’91 behind her, Jenica is determined to move on with her life, working her way through junior college while saving up to start the next chapter of her life. Two years. That’s all she needs to save enough money and then she can leave Cherry Cove behind and pursue her dreams, just like her best friend Ellery.
Only, she never planned on Jake. Never wanted him to be a part of her world beyond last summer. Famous both on and off the field thanks to his Val Kilmer good looks and undeniable charm, Jake Chambers is everything she convinced herself to avoid—until the night he becomes the only thing she can’t stay away from.
When the past crashes back into Jake and Jenica’s world with the speed of a fastball the two must decide...swing for the fences or walk off the field and away from one another, closing their chapter and leaving their story behind.
