FIRST LOVE FALLS HARD

Kira Taylor plans on spending her senior year focused on getting the hell out of this small town after graduation. By next year, she'll be trading in her dead-end job for art school and flipping off every grade-A jerk in a jersey that called her a cold bitch. They were just pissed they couldn't get past second base.

Then, her best friend convinces her, against her better judgement she might add, to join the marching band as a flag twirler. Only Monica could rope her into something so utterly humiliating, and embarrassingly fun. Unfortunately, it means watching the jocks that bully her from the stands every Friday night.

Until one of those jocks, the star quarterback who's never once paid an ounce of attention to her, suddenly realizes she exists. But he's got a reputation of loving and leaving, and she is determined to stay far away. Unfortunately, he needs her help to get a scholarship, and she's too hard up for cash to turn his offer down.

Sebastian "Bash" Thomas sails into his senior year living the dream. More money, friends, and girls than he knows what to do with. He's even got the eye of every college scout in the Tri-State Area. A life everyone wants...but him.

Because everyone doesn't know what happens behind the gates of his family's estate. The friends. The girls. They mask the emptiness he feels inside. No matter how many smiles he fakes, or girls he mindlessly empties himself into, seems to break the wall he's built piece by piece around his heart over the years.

That is until he meets the Ice Queen of Oak Haven High, who is rumored to turn her nose up at any guy who dares come too close. She also happens to be the best tutor in the school, and his usual charms won't get him what he wants this time.

AND BREAKS EVEN HARDER

As the weeks go by, their tenuous agreement sparks into something neither of them are prepared for, and the secrets they learn - about each other, their families, and their small town's seedy underbelly - threaten to pull them apart and destroy the futures they've been working so hard towards.

FIRST LOVE DOESN'T DIE

Eighteen months ago, Kira Taylor took a wrecking ball to her life. Now, she’s a struggling middle-aged, single mom back in her hometown. Her tiny apartment is a mess, her dead-end job has her one bad flu away from eviction, and her ex-husband still isn’t convinced their marriage is over. The single life in New England is a far cry from the glamorous portrayals by Hollywood.

When her best friend finally manages to drag Kira for a night out on the town, she thought it would just be a fun girls’ night out. Wrong. Instead, Kira is stuck feeling like the third wheel on a happily married couple’s date night. Sooooo not where she wants to be.

Until she runs - more like smashes - into Sebastian Thomas. The football star she loved and lost nearly two decades ago. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that he’s still just as irresistable - and twice as dangerous.

IT WAITS TO REIGNITE

Sebastian "Bash" Thomas is done with women. Done. After finally leaving his long-time girlfriend, he decides to devote his time to his daughter and growing his karate school business. Living off chinese take-out and crashing on his office couch, he’s come to realize the bachelor life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

When he goes to the local bar, all he’s looking for is some food that doesn’t come out of a cardboard box and some good tunes. Unfortunately, he’s famous in this town, and word is out that he’s single again.

That’s when he crashes into Kira Taylor. The woman who’d taught him about love…and heartbreak. Their breakup tore him apart and cost him a career in the pros. But that's all in the past now, and he's determined not to get burned by her again. Unfortunately, he’s never been good at resisting temptation.
