This is a stand-alone, exciting series, and can easily be enjoyed out of order. JAXSON Can you really find your soulmate when you're only eight years old...only to lose her two years later and never know what happened ? No way. It can't be...Yes, it's her... Getting kissed long and slow by that city boy douche-bag is Rachel Sawyer, my best friend and secret love, back when I was just a boy. The only girl who could ever hold my interest past a minute. I want to punch that guy for touching her like that...and I just might. But I've got a ranch and live a quiet existence until I saw her. There's no way I can compete with her flashy New York City life. I don't care. If I don't steal Rachel away from that dick, I'll never have another chance. I won't lose her. Not to him. Not to New York. Not to anyone. Not again. RACHEL As Ryan answers yet another work email, I spy a gorgeous man intently staring at me, emerald green eyes daring me to remember him. Oh my God it's him...my first kiss... The one who always got me into trouble is now trouble-incarnate. Jaxson Cocker. All grown up into the rugged and masculine drop-your-panties-at-the-door kind of sexy. But I love Ryan...so why the hell am I walking toward Jaxson like he's a magnet and I'm metal? We're no longer the innocent children we used to be. That chemistry we once had has ripened into something dangerous. I want him to touch me, but I shouldn't. I want him to kiss me, but I shouldn't. Just because Ryan said those horrible things...doesn't mean I have the right to do this. Does it?! Why is it some men have the power to make you do things you never dreamed you'd do? Do you follow your heart or your head? If you're shy about sex, this whole series is not for you. Thank you! It's a very moving story of great characters, mature themes, with an incredibly satisfying HEA! stand-alone
