Pepper Jones is ready for an epic cross country season. She wants to qualify for Nationals, and she's willing to do anything it takes to make it happen. She can handle long miles and hill sprints, but boys? That's an entirely different challenge. Pepper's never considered revealing her deeper feelings for her longtime friend, Jace Wilder. After all, he's got the personal magnetism and good looks to hook just about any girl in town -- and he has. Their friendship stands apart from high school social circles, and they're both just fine with that (or at least they pretend to be). That is, until running star Ryan Harding moves to town. When it comes to running, Pepper's goals are clear. But when it comes to Jace and Ryan, it's nowhere near as simple. *This book contains mature content.*

Pepped Up

Roxie, a big fish in her small town, is invited to join the elite Stark Springs Academy in the mountains of Colorado. The Academy is renowned for creating winter Olympians and Roxie is hoping to be the next gold-medal downhill skier. Only Ryker Black, snowboarder and unofficial ruler of the school, and his jealous friends stand in her way.

Black Diamond

All I wanted was a little trouble. Okay, so maybe choosing Cruz Donovan's 18th birthday party wasn't the way to go about it. Three years ago, I fell for him. I thought he fell for me too. But when he broke it off, he took my heart and, as if that wasn't enough, he took my best friends too. They aren't the same boys I knew before high school started. They've got all kinds of secrets they're keeping from me. If I want back in, I've got to be ready to play their game. I might be a killer soccer player, but I'm not real eager to join a team when they won't tell me who the opponent is, how to score a goal, or what rules I'm supposed to be following. I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time, a pawn in games I don't understand. Maybe I never should have gone looking for trouble in the first place. Is it too late to change my mind?---This is book 1 in a 3 book series and ends on a cliffhanger!

Ryan Harding. He's running royalty. The guy I've been following online since I started this sport. Sure, I've got a crush on him, but so does nearly every other runner in the country. I'm an unknown in this world, it's not like the prince of distance running is ever going to notice me, which is for the best. I've been down this road once before with the Mr. Perfect type, and I'm not doing it again.Indigo Adams stood out the moment I saw her cross the finish line. She's not only got a gorgeous stride and stellar kick, but possesses the tenacity and drive required to reach the top. She's the perfect fit for our newly-formed team in Colorado, though her running potential isn't the only thing that's captured my attention. Indigo seems skeptical of our selection of her and even more skeptical of me and my intentions. What will it take for her to see she belongs here in Brockton, on this team... and with me?(This is a spinoff from the Pepper Jones series but can be read as a standalone.)

That plan backfires when none other than Beckett Steele, skateboarding world champion, shows up at the same park with the same plan to avoid the crowds. Too bad his initial interest in her disappears when he realizes she's only seventeen to his twenty-five.
