I was destined for stardom. From the age of seven, I was an all-star. Parents praised me, coaches worshipped me. As I got older, girls begged for me. I was Beltline's baseball God, guaranteed to put this small town on the map. Then, after one night, that future vanished. The legend was laid to rest. I gave up my scholarship. I fled from Beltline. I left the girl behind. Now, I'm back.

Bryant Garrity isn't irresistible. His lengthy resume of Heisman Trophy winner, number one draft pick and highest paid player isn't all that impressive. The fact his chiseled jaw and mesmerizing blue eyes have probably made him Mr. Popularity from the age of five isn't going to work on me. Not when I have goals-goals that don't include finding myself on an all pro-football heartthrobs checklist. Carly Lincoln is different. I could go on and on about her dark wavy curls, her pouty pink lips, or her whiskey-on-the-rock eyes that reveal her truest desires. The fact she's not impressed by my sports superstar aura like most women makes her worth more than a fling. But this year is my last shot at glory after crumbling to a mere mortal on the game's biggest stage. My focus needs to be on the ring, not turning Carly's no's to yes's. Carly and Bryant's paths are about to collide, and they better be prepared to fight for what matters most because life's paths aren't all sunshine and winding roads.

Now, after most of their friends have married, it's finally their turn to say I do. Sadie and her bridezilla nature have made the Miller/Carson wedding the event of the year. The cake, the caterer, and the flowers are all crossed off her list. But she soon realizes she can't hide the guilt from her actions years before behind the façade of a big wedding. And if she wants her groom waiting at the end of the aisle, she needs to be honest with him. Brady has always been the patient one. He's the father figure and sensible one of the group. But the fears of failing at marriage still run deep within him. A week before the girl he lives for takes his name, a surprise shows up on his doorstep, and his neatly organized life is thrown off-kilter. Once again, Sadie and Brady are tested by the ghosts of their pasts. However, this time they must come together if they plan on living happily ever after.

Dylan Bea Zanders's interest penetrated me. I tried to ignore her unwavering eyes and lasting touches. But my willpower failed me. Our one-night affair was mutual. No expectations, no exchanging of phone numbers, nothing. The next morning, she sauntered out of my life as fast as she had entered it. Bea I claimed Dylan McCain as soon as I saw him.

His panicked green eyes held layers of kindness. Making sure the rules were clear, I walked away, showing him how little relationships meant to me.

I'm the crazy fun one. Pedal to the floor, balls to the wall, party all weekend guy. The guy everybody calls for laughs and a good time. And I always deliver. So, when Ainsley Winslow and I made a pact for a summer fling, I was all in. What hot-blooded college male doesn't jump at the chance for a no strings attached relationship? Not this one. Then summer drew to a close, and I found myself wanting time to move slower. Ainsley Winslow is a girl of her word. When fall inevitably came, she vanished. She no longer answered my calls, my texts or my knocks on her door. After the silence continued, I questioned what I was doing and who had I become. I am Braxton Brentwood...this isn't me. Time to move on and get the party started again. And I did. Until our paths crossed again, and I remembered what we had. She wasn't getting away a second time because our game just went into Extra Innings.

My name is Rob Winters, aka, Jackass. Even to my closest friends. I wasn't always so arrogant and condescending. It only took one night to change me-one point twenty-seven seconds, to be exact. When tragedy struck, I promised myself, no matter what, unbreakable chains would lock my heart. If one veers too close or digs too deep, the cruel and mean bastard many hate is unleashed. My plan has succeeded for the past seven years. I've driven away a girlfriend and killed a few friendships along the way. Then, just when the chains loosen around my heart, she walks into my life-or worse, the room next door. She strolls into my house with her bouncy brown curls and banging body, slithering herself through the smallest opening and making me crave the one thing I've denied myself these past years. Her smell, her eyes, and her caring nature are everything I'm not worthy of enjoying. How long do I have to struggle with the demons that haunt me every night before the torture ends? Forever, I remind myself, but the links protecting my heart break each time Paige Kensington enters the room.
