Wait for Me

Kristen Proby

New Hope, South Carolina is my home. It's where I grew up, got into trouble, and fell in love for the first time. Scarlett Kincaid was more than the girl next door, she was my best friend, until she decided that small town life wasn't for her. One minute she was here, and the next she was gone.The girl I used to fish with down at the creek is now the biggest name in country music. She headlines world tours, has won four Grammy's, and I haven't seen her since. Until today when she sped through town in her fancy car. One look at her big brown eyes was all it took to stir up a whole slew of emotions. Emotions I'd long ago buried and sure as hell don't have time for. It's the aftermath that's hard¿There are two things in my life that matter. My music, and my dad. Twelve years ago, I packed a bag and chased my dream. Leaving New Hope and escaping the gossip mill was the easiest decision I ever made. I never planned to return, but my father needs me, and he always comes first. So, I did what I had to do. I cut my tour short and came home, despite having a sister who hates me, and a community that doesn't trust me. And then there's Tucker Andrews.When he propped an arm on the roof of my car, pulled down his sunglasses and flashed his police badge, I nearly swallowed my tongue. Gone is the lanky boy who used to throw rocks at me and pull my pigtails. Tucker is now a six-foot package of brawny, sexy man wrapped in more muscle than I have hit singles. Did I mention he's a cop and a single dad?My goal was to help Dad, and get back to my life. But what am I supposed to do when the life that used to strangle me suddenly fits like a glove, and makes me dream of things I never thought I'd have?

Already Gone

In a matter of seconds my entire world changed, and it was in that moment that I stopped living and simply began to exist. In my grief, I sent a letter to the first boy I ever loved. I didnt expect him to write back. Sergeant Devin Ulysses Clay did what I couldnt: he put the shattered pieces of my heart back together. But now that Im whole, I have a decision to make. Do I return to my life as I knew it and the fiancé I left behind, or do I walk away from it all for the only man to everbreak my heart? *** A letter from Katie Devoraa letter that I almost didnt open.Her words put a fire back inside of me that I didnt know Id lost. The Army saved me from a callous mother and a life on the wrong side of the tracks that was quickly spiraling out of control. So unlike most of the men in my platoon, going home wasnt something I longed for. I was content overseas, spending my days defending this country that gave me my life back. Fighting became my new normal until her.

There's nothing I love more than scoring. I know what you're probably thinking, but I'm talking about goals, not men. My entire life revolves around three things: soccer, and my two best friends, Ryan and Grant. I've loved them since they were rowdy boys tearing up the town. Growing up, we shared everything from popsicles and toys to hopes, dreams, and the occasional jail cell. Now that we're older, they've been known to share women. But they haven't shared me. Never me. Until now. College is over. So is soccer. And I only have one goal in mind...scoring double.

A Dirty Dicks/Big Sky Novella

Crazy Imperfect Love

Family. Everyone has one. Some are close. Some are dysfunctional. Some are simply gone. Nine-year-old Shae Black entered the Witness Protection Program after the murder of her father, mob boss Luca DiMarco. New name. New identity. And a ready-made family that had no idea who she really was. Fourteen years later, a letter from a ghost thrusts Shae back into the life she was forced to leave behind. As secrets unravel, revealing unexpected truths, Shae sees an opportunity to avenge her father's death by destroying patriarch Sal Ambrosi, the man responsible for her father's murder. Getting to the heart of the family will be difficult, but nothing and no one is going to stop her-not even the heirs to the Ambrosi family empire. She's prepared for the two brothers, Dante and Rex, to put up a fight, but she isn't at all prepared for the danger they will bring to her life and her heart. One will love her. One will hate her. One will vow to protect her. One will vow to kill her. All in the name of family.

Black

Claire Daniels is good at a lot of things, but dating isn't one of them. Although she enjoys men of all different shapes, colors, and sizes, she has one requirement: they must have a job on her approved-occupation list. It has to be safe, so they can come home every night, which means no cops, pilots, doctors, ranchers, and absolutely no firefighters. She's kept to her rules thus far-as long as you ignore the tiny crush she has on Trevor Allen, a crush that cannot move toward anything physical because Trevor is a firefighter and a rancher. Not to mention, he's four years younger than she is and the brother of her two best friends. Still, it sure would be nice to have him put out her fire. Trevor Allen also has a few rules when it comes to Claire Daniels: no staring, flirting, smokin' hot fantasies, or touching of any kind. He's been lusting after Claire his whole life, but with a steady stream of willing women and two demanding jobs to hold his attention, he's somehow managed to keep his hands off her. Until they end up in a bathroom together-a small bathroom with very little room to move, leaving him pressed against Claire's lush curves. What's he supposed to do when she looks up at him with those big, green doe eyes and licks her lips? The only thing he can do: kiss the hell out of her, then convince her it can't happen again. Too bad he can't convince himself.
