He never had to grow up, but he never had a childhood either, perpetually the wild, youngest brother.

The hottest guy on campus won't stop asking me out. I know that sounds like a good problem to have, but this guy...this guy has no idea how complicated my life is trying to juggle being a single mom and college student.

I moved to Florida to begin my NFL career and tried to pretend my perfect life didn't leave me empty.

Jayla Anthony had it all. At least, that's what it looked like from the outside. But from the inside looking out, she knew there was much more to life than her current situation.

Sure, he might be one rotation away from actually being certified, but he has real-life experience. The kind he wouldn't wish on anyone.

She knows the kind of man he is: the kind who breaks hearts. But a hot summer at the Jersey Shore might be just what they need to light up their lives. As the only daughter of a single mom, Connie Reyes swore she would never put herself, or her child, in a similar position. But when she runs into oh-so-tempting Jonathan Pierce at a wedding, she knows she must stay away. She'll fall for him - hard. And he's not the type to stick around.
