But all I see is the opportunity to help this beautiful woman while exacting revenge on her brother, and I am not about to pass that up.

All that glitters isn’t gold. USA Today best-selling author Autumn Jones Lake’s Wheels of Fire concludes the ultra-romantic, emotional adventure that began in Kickstart My Heart.

When your soul is torn apart, and your heart feels empty, how do you breathe? When the flames of hell burn bright, and all hope seems lost, how do you survive?

The time for questions has passed. It is time to act. Time to fight. Time to conquer evil once and for all. May courage drive you. May you know no fear. May we all rest in peace wherever our pieces may fall.

When Nova smashed her way into my hardened heart, she showed me there’s more to life than basketball. She taught me patience and forgiveness.

I just have to hope he doesn’t break my heart in the process.
