That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road. A different life. It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy. Pretending was better than knowing the truth... I. Ruined. Us. I had her. I lost her. I love her. All I did was complicate us.

Grace Montgomery has a very simple plan. Fly to her younger brother's wedding, stop the wedding, go home, make partner at her law firm. Almost getting arrested by air marshal Nick O'Connor? Not part of the plan. Neither was puking on him. (Don't ask) Finding out he's her soon-to-be brother-in-law...also a minor setback to her plan. And don't even get her started on her untimely attraction to the tall, dark, and dead-sexy jerk. If Nick had a plan, it wouldn't include getting involved with a woman as complicated as Grace. It especially wouldn't include road tripping with her to attend a week of pre-wedding family events. But as it turns out, traveling-and sparring-with the lovely, sharp-witted Grace is the most fun Nick's had since, well, ever. And their sexual chemistry? Off. The. Charts. It doesn't take long for Grace to realize there's a lot more to her air marshal than a pretty face and a big, um, gun. If she's not careful, she just might lose her highly prized control-not to mention her heart-to Nick. But before Grace and Nick can set foot on the road to happily ever after, they'll have to deal with Grace's meddling ex, a slew of dysfunctional family members, and a contaminated pumpkin bisque (long story) ... and that's all before the end of day two. It's gonna be a long, complicated week...

From USA Today Bestselling Author ALL FOUR GOOD OL' BOYS BOOKS IN ONE COMPLICATE MEIt was complicated, it was also just the beginning. A decision. A simple choice.

I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back and I sure as fuck didn't regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be hell to pay, I knew the wrath I'd be facing but I would willingly take the burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend's sister. If there is one person I'd willingly go to hell and back for it was... Lillian RyderUNDO MEI met her when I was sixteen. I fell in love with her when I was seventeen. She brought me to my knees when I was twenty. I loved her against reason. I loved her against hope. I loved her against all odds. Now she's back, a constant reminder of what I lost, what could have been. I hate her. I resent her. I still love her. Can I forgive her... Will she be my end once again or my beginning? CRAVE METhey say in order to find yourself you have to go home. What if home was what you were running from? Where did that leave you? Always on the other side of the fence. Always looking in. Always wishing you were someone you couldn't be. Until one day you meet her. The one. She was my high, but she was also... My demise.
