Bragan University Series

Mia Collins has an amazing life. She was popular in high school, and college is off to a great start. Everything seems perfect until she goes home for the break and everything changes. One night sets everything in motion and Mia's world begins to fall apart. She's stunned that the life she thought she knew was all a lie. After she loses her family, she's forced to start over. This time though, she vows to not let anyone get close to her again - to not get hurt again. But life has a funny way of doing the opposite of what you ask for.

Jesse Falcon has dedicated his life to one cause: to fight against that which has taken so much from him. He's learned the hard way that if you want something to be done, you have to do it yourself. No more waiting for others to make a difference. With football, a pre-med program, and a coveted internship, he has no time for anything or anyone else. The truth is, he doesn't think his barely healed heart can take it. Despite his determination to remain distant, he soon finds a girl who will not only fracture that resolve but shatter it completely.

Zack Hayes was taught that hard work pays off. He lives by that adage, working a part-time job, playing football, and taking a full load of courses in the hope that his parents can stop working themselves to the bone. However, when things start to go wrong, Zack begins to believe that when you come from nothing, working hard doesn't get you anywhere. Emma Wilson has spent her whole life hiding in the shadows because she isn't who her parents wanted her to be - who her father wanted her to be. She loses herself in her studies and in the piles of romance books she devours.
