Matteo
My time with Bella McIntosh was only supposed to last a weekโI needed to focus on the family businessโbut Iโd soon realize I couldnโt let her go.
She haunted my dreams and drove me to the point of distraction.
Thatโs how I found myself on the verge of saying โI doโ, but deep down, I knew I couldnโt go through with it.
Leaving my bride at the altar wasnโt part of the plan, but I had to follow my heart โฆ which was on the other side of the world.
I could only hope sheโd never forget the time we shared.
Bella
I had everything I ever wanted โฆ except him.
Matteo Mancini.
He was supposed to be a vacation fling, but he turned out to be so much more.
We promised each other forever, but our time ended before we got that chance.
I left my heart in Italy and returned home to focus on the life I was building. All the while pretending I was over him, but I wasnโt. I never would be.
We lived a world apart โฆ if only our love was strong enough to withstand the obstacles that stood in our way.

Exclusive Excerpt:
โI promise I came here to ask you out again. Officially.โ โOkay,โ she says, a bit nervously. I bring my hand up to cup her face. โThereโs something about you. I want to find out exactly what that is.โ I tell her. She leans her head into my palm and closes her eyes. โWill you go to dinner with me, Maddie?โ Her eyes open, but she doesnโt say anything. I can see in her eyes that she is warring with something. โI know you just got here, and weโve only just met, butโฆโ โYes,โ she interrupts me. โYes, I will go to dinner with you.โ Taking a quick step back, I run my hand through my hair then I step back toward Maddie and pull her mouth to mine again. She comes willingly and she responds like Iโm giving her exactly what she wants. Stepping back, I whisper, โI better go.โ โYou better go,โ she says, like she is even less convinced of that decision than I am. โI better go,โ I repeat and swiftly turn away and walk off the porch. She follows me to the edge, and I can finally see her. The moonlight glows just brightly enough for me to see kiss swollen lips. She is in a shirt with a cardigan and tiny shorts. God, she is sexy. โWeโll talk tomorrow and work out dinner,โ I tell her. She nods, โTomorrow.โ โI want to kiss you againโ I say, aloud. โBut I wonโt because if I do, I wonโt be able to stop. So instead, Iโm going to say goodnight, walk home and see you tomorrow.โ I take a step backward. She remains motionless. โGoodnight, Maddie.โ โGoodnight, Ryder, see you tomorrow.โ I leave her standing on that porch for the second night in a row and it seems like each time, Iโve left a small part of me I didnโt know existed with her.

Hallie
No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. Iโve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isnโt easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.
So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friendsโ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Loganโs house. What Iโm not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasnโt anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why Iโm not surprised when it happens again.
The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.
Logan

Surviving high school was going to be hard enough, but surviving telling the one girl that he couldnโt live without how he felt was going to be one of the most difficult things that Sebastian Bradford was ever going to do.
From New York Times and USA Todayโs bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the second novel in the Neighbor from Hell Chronicles that will bring it all back, leaving you unable to help but smile as you remember the first time that you fell in love.
For years, Sebastian has been lying to himself, doing whatever it took to convince himself that Mikey was just his best friend and the pain in the ass that he couldnโt stop thinking about and nowโฆ
He would do absolutely anything to stop screwing this up, but that probably wasnโt going to happen, not with his brother determined to help him. With every soul-crushing piece of advice his brother threw his way, Sebastian found himself thinking about everything that he had to lose if Mikey didnโt feel the same way and wondered if he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
The glaring was definitely starting to concern her, but Mikey had bigger problems to worry about than her best friend suddenly acting weird around her, like the teenage girl and her minions going out of their way to make her life a living hell. She couldnโt risk losing her scholarship, not when it meant that she would never be able to do the one thing that she loved more than anything again.
