Fight or Flight Series
Be smart.
Keep your head down.
And look out for number one.
These are the rules Jay has lived by for the past two years. The rules of surviving life on the streets. But when Em comes bursting into his life, in all of her disastrous glory, the rules go right out the window.
Survive.
Flee what’s been left behind.
And never look back.
Em’s plan was simple. Though, it was easier said than done. The city streets are dangerous and unforgiving to a new arrival. Especially, a seventeen year old girl who’s never known anything but life in the suburbs. Sometimes, however, what’s lurking behind those white picket fences can be more frightening than any dark alley.
Both of them made the same decision when life got overwhelming—to run from their demons. Brought together by fate or circumstance, Em and Jay find the kind of love neither of them ever expected. But when those demons come back to haunt them and their love is on the line, which instincts will they choose to follow this time . . . Fight or Flight?
There are some things you just can't walk away from.
When sleeping in vacant warehouses and dark alleys becomes preferable to living at home, something is seriously wrong. But when word reaches Allie that her mother is facing a life threatening illness, she has no choice but to return to the place of nightmares. Leaving wasn't a choice, it was a necessity, and if returning hadn't been equally necessary, Allie never would have set foot back inside that hell-hole.
Dean is no stranger to hardship, but the day Allie walked out of his life, taking his heart right along with her, was hands-down the most frustrating. Six months later, she's back and Dean refuses to rest until he figures out exactly what the hell happened.
Now, Allie's drowning. Drowning in lies. Drowning in the truth. Drowning in pain, and anger, and fear. But there comes a time when every drowning person must decide whether they will . . . Sink or Swim?
To move on,
Leave the past behind,
And build a new life with Jay.
That's all Em wanted. After everything they'd been through together, they were both overdue their 'happily ever after'. Too bad the world doesn't work that way. Memories last longer than dreams and Em's fears continue to plague her both day and night, interfering with that new life she so desperately craves.
To start over,
Secure a future,
And give Em the life she deserves.
That was Jay's plan, but the past isn't done with them, yet. While Em struggles to overcome the ghosts of her past, Jay is forced to come face to face with his. When the skeletons inhis closet step back into the light, Jay must decide what he will do-and what he will sacrifice- to protect Em from them.
Against all odds, Em and Jay are on the verge of having everything they've ever wanted. They've fought for it before, but is their love strong enough to endure any more heartache? The time has come for each of them to choose for themselves whether or not they will allow the past to continue to corrupt their future. And, together, they must decide, will it be . . . Now or Never?
All life's a game, but after a bad decision leads to terrifying consequences, Ashlyn quits playing and resigns herself to being her mother's pawn.
Mason's always played by the rules, but when an outside player puts the people he cares about at risk, he takes the game into his own hands.
Standing against the evil in this world isn't always easy. Or safe. As threats continue to escalate, trust and teamwork become the only way to win. But Ashlyn is busy playing defense while Mason fights to uncover the unhealthy lengths to which she's willing to go to maintain some semblance of control.
When the stakes are high and the cards are down, will Ashlyn and Mason . . . Do or Die?
