The 1st in a #newseries of interconnected standalones, “Preacher” will give you ALL the feels. SYNOPSIS:My preacher absolved no sins, because he was the sinner.Lyric:They say that you should give your heart away to the right guy, but mine was taken from me ten years ago, the moment Preacher moved into town and sent a blast wave through my life. He was my walking contradiction—gentle eyes set in a hardened face, an angel and an uncaged beast, mesmerizing good looks and terrifying ferocity, my savior and my destroyer.When he disappeared senior year he broke me like so much fragile glass. I thought I’d moved on from what happened between us, but now he’s reappeared out of nowhere, upending my life and reminding me that I can never break his hold over me.Preacher:I was trouble with a capital T—the guy your mom warned you to stay away from because he’d ruin you. She was right. I had no business being with a girl like Lyric—it was against all the rules—but when the hell have I ever followed other people’s rules?Never.She was beautiful, delicate, and oh so breakable. I was forceful, aggressive, and cocky as hell. Ten years ago fate split us apart. But now I’m back, here in New York, to remind Lyric of what she knows deep down but has always tried to deny.That she’s mine, and she always will be.

    Desperately in love with Mia Meadows? Also me. And if she doesn't remember, it's time to remind her. FINN: Mia. My childhood best friend. The one that got away. The one I've been pathetically crushing on for years. She's also the one that doesn't remember anything. Oh, and she hates my guts. Tiny setback. I have everything -- the fame, the money, the wins and trophies -- but the only thing I really want? Mia. All she has to do is remember that she's mine. And I've got a plan. Luckily for Mia Meadows, I like the chase. And King Kane never loses. MIA: He's arrogant, too hot for his own good, worshiped by half the state... and completely obsessed with me. For some reason. I guess what they say about football causing brain damage is true. It doesn't help that my gossip-obsessed roommate Kim is desperately trying to set us up together. Or that Finn keeps hinting at some huge secret. Maybe that's the brain damage again? But if Finn thinks these surprise dates, grand romantic gestures, and weird secret hints are going to fool me, he's even stupider than I thought. And trust me. That's almost impressively stupid. I don't care what game he's trying to win. I'm not playing. And I'm definitely not going back to bed with him. ...Probably. BLITZ is a full length, standalone childhood friends second chance romance featuring a cocky bad boy with a heart of gold, a Happily Ever After, and no cliffhangers or cheating! Recommended for mature readers due to explicit language and sex scenes.
