Irelyn Colby is excited to start a new life at college. Granted, her well-to-do grandparents are footing the bill, but that's a sacrifice she's willing to make for the sake of a good education.

Although the house she lives in with her mother and special needs cousin is just minutes away from campus, her grandfather insists that she stay in the dorms in order to have the 'total college experience.' Irelyn complies, going home on the weekends to spend time with her family and Dustin, her high school sweetheart.

When her new roommates, Bailey and Morgan, share their wild, weekend adventures, Irelyn gets a little jealous. How she longs to break free of the 'good girl, good student' mold and have a little fun. Besides, she'd love to have a funny tale to share with Dustin when she meets him for dinner at her grandparents' country club on Saturday night.

But things don't go as planned. The girls take her to a popular bar where a local band plays on Friday nights and Irelyn is captivated by the lead singer, Lucas. She meets him after his set and the sparks fly. Unable to control herself, she spends the night with him only to suffer a huge bout of guilt the next morning. What will she tell Dustin?

Bailey convinces Irelyn that it was a fluke - nothing Dustin needs to know about. Morgan urges her to stay away from Lucas. Irelyn agrees, vowing to stay away from Lucas once she retrieves the cell phone she lost that Friday night when she was with him.

Unfortunately, Irelyn's plans don't work out very well as she can't seem to stay away from him. She continues to see Lucas, all the while lying to Dustin, and hiding the entire situation from her controlling grandfather.

As the lies continue to stack up, topped by confusing feelings, Irelyn must make a decision: Does she stay with Dustin, the sweet, safe boy with a promising future? Or does she follow her heart and run to Lucas, the one who makes her feel real?

And what will her grandfather have to say about her choice?

Sequel to All the Wrong Reasons.

Bailey never thought she'd fall in love - especially after the ordeal her best friend, Irelyn, had gone through the previous winter. So, imagine her surprise when she realizes that it has indeed happened to her.

But it's not looking promising even after she ends her on-again-off-again relationship with Spencer - especially since the man she's discovered she's in love with is Spencer's cousin and best friend, Collin.

It's okay, though, because she'll get over it. Well, that's what she was hoping but after one drunken night with Collin, she realizes that it's not that easy.

Now he's feeling guilty, she's heartbroken, and he wants to keep it all a secret.

To make matters worse, she finds out that he's in love with Tori, Morgan's in love with him, and Spencer's in love with her. It's enough to make her head spin.

If you thought love triangles were bad, try being in the center of a vicious circle.

When green reporter Taylor Lockwood finally gets a real story, her excitement is short-lived. She's supposed to interview Brady Nolan, a local boy who made it to the big leagues. Unfortunately for Taylor, she has a history with Brady.

Brady had been the big man on campus back at high school - leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him. But he'd seemed different with Taylor - more attentive and loving. They'd managed to stay together longer most of the school year - even attending Senior Prom. But all of that ended the day after Prom when her best friend informed her that she had been part of a bet that Brady had made with his friend, Jason.

It took Taylor years to get over it - but she'd managed. Now, however, Brady Nolan is thrust back into her life, and although she's determined to put him and the entire high school incident behind her - he's determined to never let her go again.

Recently dumped by one of baseball’s biggest names, Alyssa Reid has struck out in love once again. During one of the harshest Manhattan winters on record, she's suddenly alone in a new city, with only a job with the Centers for Disease Control and a partially furnished eighth floor walk-up to keep her warm. While her ex may have turned her life upside down, it isn't until a twist of fate causes Alex Whitfield, her ex-boyfriend’s best friend and teammate, to move into her spare bedroom that she’ll see what it’s like to really be thrown a major league curveball.

While Alyssa knows better than to get romantically involved with a man reputed for breaking hearts as efficiently and effectively as he strikes out opposing batters, there’s something utterly irresistible about him. ...It might be that Alex calls her every evening he's on the road to say goodnight, it could be the way his southern drawl leaves her hanging on his every word, but likely it's seeing the body that landed him on the cover of GQ routinely wandering her hall wrapped in only a towel. Although their relationship is ostensibly platonic -- Alex staunchly refusing to admit he thinks of her as anything more than the annoying little sister he never had -- a full year after he moves out, he sets his sights on the one girl in New York who could, with one wink of her perfectly curled eyelashes, have him throwing away his little black book. And in love as in baseball, he has no intention losing.

It all started when the cougar jumped on the hood of my car one night…

Cougars are not native to my part of the world so not only did the big cat frighten me, but it intrigued me, also. Where had it come from? What was it doing here? And why was it attacking people when the woods are full of deer?

And now, the mysterious and handsome Alex Smith is paying me more attention than usual - which is fine with me.I've had a thing for Alex for years. Just as I'm getting to know him better, it looks like he’s hiding something.

Add the wildlife experts that were called in to handle the cougar problem and I have one hell of a mess on my hands - especially since I'm the only person whose seen the cougar and lived to tell about it.

As things with Alex heat up, the wildlife guys are constantly pestering me to give them more information than what I have - and telling me tall tales about shape-shifters. Like I believe that garbage.

But some of the things they are saying start to make sense. It certainly keeps me up at night, thinking.

People are still dying and no one can seem to catch the elusive cat.

Then Alex tells me his big secret - one that puts things into perspective - but I don't like it much.

Ben and Kyle, the wildlife guys, fill my mind with all sorts of things - including stuff about Alex and his brothers.

Who am I supposed to believe and what am I supposed to do about it?

And how had my perfect life suddenly shifted?
