She was the welcomed distraction in his football-focused life. Things may not have been perfect. Their individual careers made being together difficult. Her touring. His away schedule. As her success grew, they spent more extended periods apart. But at the end of the day, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Only her. When Mia met Ethan, she felt a connection unlike any she’d ever felt. She gave him more of herself than she thought was even possible. But she knew it wasn’t enough.

Never Over You is a contemporary romance series by Ryleigh Andrews composed of three full-length novels-- Bring Me You , Still Into You , and Never Over You --and has a short story that's part of a holiday-themed anthology, Hot for the Holidays .

These two appear to have the odds stacked against them from the very beginning, what wit

When before he'd been a blustering wind that I'd chased and sometimes was lucky enough to catch–or be caught up in–now we were both still, coming together on our own accord. We originated in this. Everything now was new. A start. A beginning. The brush of his hand across my cheek, though he'd done it many times before, it was as if this time was the first. His whispers were unheard whispers. The gasps at the back of my throat were sounds I'd never made. The way my knees buckled, how he pulled me tighter against him, the sighs between us–all new. This was our first surrender. First embrace. First kiss. First touch. Oh. My. Goodness... I was practically speechless after finishing First Touch , the first in the First and Last duet from bestselling author Laurelin Paige, and I dare say, her best work so far. It's naughty and dirty but it's also inten

"I love you more than I should...I love you in ways I shouldn't. I desire you in ways that are hard to comprehend. And the love I feel for you is the scariest thing I've ever admitted out loud, to anyone. Because once those words are released, you can't take them back. You could try, but love weaves a thread of its own and once you confess with your mouth, your soul has no choice but to follow."

But after the gift that Stephanie bestowed upon him, Cassius has now made a deal...with an Angel. He has thirty days to prove his love for Stephanie, and he has to do so as a human. Emotions are something that have become foreign to Cassius as a Dark One, but now they bombard him and he feels the very limitations that he used to loathe in humans, the aches and pains that never used to touch him before. Being human also means he isn't immortal, so how can the
