Yours To Forget

Emily Silver

Logan Winchester. Star running back for the Denver Mountain Lions and the man of my dreams. Until he left me without another word, shattering me in the process. 
 
 
 
I had other things to focus on. Like being the top skier in the world. I put my ex and his small town in my rearview mirror and tried not to look back. Until an injury sidelined me. 
 
 
 
Now with the press following every minute of my return to competitive skiing, I need an escape. But I end up in the one place I never thought I'd return to. 
 
 
 
With the man who nearly broke me. 
 
 
 
All I want is to focus on my rehab. But Logan doesn't make it easy. 
 
 
 
We're on different paths. Reaching for new goals. But as we spend time together, truths are revealed, and the anger I held on to for so long turns into something else. Something that sparks inside me every time I look at him. 
 
 
 
Can we rewrite our past and change our future, or will our love be something to forget?

Fated

Carly Phillips

He used to crush on her best friend.
How can he convince her falling for him won’t crush her heart?
Though Nick Mancini flirts with her like it’s his second job, Kate Andrews tries to ignore the sexy construction worker. How could he be interested in her? Not that long ago, he was in love with Kate’s best friend, Faith. His muscled body and sexy dimples are hard to resist, but Kate refuses to be anyone’s rebound girl. Been there, done that, burned the road map.
Trouble is, Kate does believe love at first sight. But it has to be a two-way street, and she’s convinced she and Nick are destined to crash and burn.
Nick can pinpoint the exact moment he gave up on Faith, and really saw Kate for the first time. He’d ticked her off and she’d been seriously angry. He’d looked right into those flashing green eyes, and he was a goner. He’s pretty sure Kate feels the same way, but despite their off-the-charts chemistry, she rejects him at every turn.
But Nick is nothing if not persistent and the longing looks she sneaks his way don’t lie. She wants him, too. For Nick to break through Kate’s barriers, he’ll have to throw out the original blueprint and come up with a whole new plan. One that takes him off guard and cements their future.
Note: Fated was previously published under the same title by New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips. Contains a middle school English teacher who never makes the same mistake twice, and a hunky construction worker who understands every possible definition of the word nailed. Enjoy!
