Excerpt: 

Tory D'Angelo

I'm not sure if she realizes she's trembling, but she is, so to stop her from digging any deeper in a place so public and so filled with the fumes of microwave pizza and Coke machines, I reach forward and rest my hand on top of hers. We both freeze immediately, and I'm pretty sure my palm is already sweating. Her gaze lifts to meet mine, but I don't let go of her hand just yet. I don't make this touch a big deal, even though it sort of is. That's nor why I did it, and I don't want to cheapen it. With our eyes locked on one another. I let the air fill with the touch of silence just long enough for a ragged, emotional breath to fall from her lips.

"You have every right to feel the way you do." I say.

"And how's that?" she fires back. Her hand shifts under mine, but she doesn't pull it away.

"You feel like your dad sees a business opportunity where he should see his daughter."

She swallows and keeps her gaze on mine for a beat before finally leaning back, pulling her hand away and glancing off to her side. With a snort sniffle, she runs the sleeve of my brother's hoodie across her eyes, erasing the tiny break that she let herself have. 

I'm suddenly not hungry.  I don't think I have ever not been hungry, but I couldn't eat the rest of my burrito now if I were forced at gunpoint. It's not that I feel sick, but more that I feel. . .envious. I was fooling myself thinking that Abby was a passing crush I could dismiss easily. Two months of riding shotgun with her through all things June and Lucas was just long enough for me to get hooked on having her around. But while it's my advice she's listening to right now, it's my brother's fucking sweatshirt she's dabbing her tears with.

"So, see you at the game?" I know my move to leave is abrupt, especially after she just bared part of her soul. If I stay, though, I'm going to say things I don't mean just out of sheer self-preservation. This is precisely why I don't do relationship, I just do flirting and hookups. Feelings. . .well, they fucking feel.

"What, did you change your mind and suddenly decided that nine-eighty bare-minimum wasn't good enough?" Her nose wrinkles after her insult, but I think I get where it's coming from. She just hit me with a major share, and now I'm bailing. Better to lash out. Her and I aren't so different.

"Something like that," I say, holding up my lunch trash as a wave goodbye.

Abby's face shifts, slightly, her wrinkled mouth and dimmed eyes morphing from the snarky expression that accompanies her tease to the look of a girl who just lost her brand new balloon to the sky.

"That hoodie. . ." I say as I walk backward, pointing toward the center of her chest. "Looks good on you." I leave things there with a tight-lipped smile and a nod, a truce of sorts, not that Abby even knew we were in a battle. Hell, we weren't. I'm the only one in a conflict, and it's with my own damn self.

I manage to turn my back to her and toss my trash out without pausing to get one more little jab in to fully take things back to our version of normal. I think for now, I'd like to leave thing nice. I wasn't counting on her wanting to leave things that way, too, though.

"I'll be sure to cheer for you, even if I'm wearing Hayden's number," she shouts.

I spin on y feet and give her a thumb up, but keep moving away from her because if I turn around, I'll keep trying to win her over. And she's not mine to be won.

Varsity Tiebreaker: Book 2 in The Varsity Series by Ginger Scott

Abby Cortez is a girl with goals, on the verge of turning eighteen and on the brink of stardom. Falling in love isn't just something she doesn't have time for, it's something she doesn't really believe in. Her rule? Date but never, ever fall.

Tory "Salvatore" D'Angelo loves falling in love. . .just not for real. The star basketball player at Allensville Public High gives his heart away one girl at a time then takes it back when he's ready to move on. No serious feelings, no serious pain.

They're both good plans until Abby's jaded heart gets all tangled up with Tory's hopeless one. A friendly rivalry grows into friendship, and long talks start to blur the lines. Just one problem―Abby's current boyfriend is Tory's twin brother, Hayden.

This is book 2 in The Varsity Series by Ginger Scott. You can start this series of standalone mature YA sports romances now with Varsity Heartbreaker, Book 3, Varsity Rulebreaker, releases in October.

BRED

A coming-of-age romance inspired by Great Expectations.

My life was irrevocably changed the moment I stepped foot inside Elena Alderman's grand front doors. A lifeless tomb on the edge of Chicago's South Side, the Alderman home sat in one of the city's oldest and wealthiest neighborhoods, and Elena Alderman was the queen.

She was also mad.

Not the kind of madness that's readily apparent. No, her psychopathy was far more surgical―more... insidious. She was surrounded by beautiful things―most notably her grand piano and her adopted son, Henry.

I fell in love with both.

My gift blossomed when my fingers touched her black and white keys. But my life began when I became haunted by the boy. Henry Alderman was a handsome blend of arrogance and seduction, and as we grew up together, I found it more and more impossible to separate him from my thoughts. I envied his life. I imagined how my name―Lily―would look with his. I became his closest friend... 

and more. I gave him my kiss, locked away his secrets, and loved him even when it was hard to. 

But we were just a game. Elena Alderman made the rules. And when she decided to change them, she broke everything. 

Almost.

The Hail Mary (Waiting Series Book 3)
Adult Contemporary Romance, Coming of Age Trilogy

Sixteen years is a long time. In a marriage, it's a milestone, On the gridiron, it's a miracle. Reed Johnson wants more time for everything, but time is funny that way.

It can be cruel.

With a body that can't quite take the hits it used to and a heart tired of being torn in two different directions, Reed is faced with a reality he's not quite ready for―life without the game. He became a man under Friday night game lights and in college stadium tunnels, and without the grit and the glory that's earned ten yards at a time, he's afraid of what kind of man he'll be.

But there's more than a game at stake now.

Reed's wife, Nolan, is afraid too. She's seen what can happen when the love of her life pushes himself too hard, and she can't escape the nightmares she relives after almost losing her entire world to one single play on the field.

There is no compromise when it comes to football. Same goes for the heart. You're either all in, or you get crushed. For Reed and Nolan, the clock is ticking down. Time...it does that. One way or another, they're going to have to make a choice.

This is their hail Mary. This is win or lose.

(The Hail Mary is book 3 in The Waiting Series, which follows high school sweethearts Reed Johnson and Nolan Lennox through football, life, love, and everything messy that goes along with it. The series begins with Waiting on the Sidelines and Going Long.)

Excerpt:

Behind us, my brother's voice bellows over some touchdown I'm sure he'll tell me about the minute I step inside. For as much as I love this game and it gives me life, I really hate talking about it like a fan. It's like seeing behind the scenes at Disneyland―magic gets lost.

I know Nolan won't want to talk about the Sunday games.

"You wanna go for a walk?" I say without giving my brain a chance to stop my mouth from asking.

Nolan laughs at first, but when she sees I'm serious, she glances over her shoulder then looks back to me.

"Alright," she smirks.

I nod toward the driveway, and we both step at the same time. As much as the area has grown, our family's place is still set off from most of the rest of town. That won't be the case when we sell off the back acreage, but it's the right developer and the right time. Still―I'm going to miss the lonely feeling of our main road one day. Lonely isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes, it clears your head.

"Please say this wasn't the tattoo boy that made her go to the desert party", I say, feeling my fist tighten in my pocket just at the mention of him.

Nolan laughs lightly.

"No, Reed. You'll be glad to know that this boy is a quarterback," she says.

"Ah hell." I roll my eyes and look up at karma.

"Yep. He's fifteen. Sophomore."

I want to finish her sentence with "and he's dead," but that's just my daddy blood boiling.

"She's a freshman. And she's not allowed to date," I say instead, knowing that' not true and won't be enforced. Nolan lets my rant go without acknowledgement, so we walk a little longer in silence, our legs turning on instinct to head into town.

"Is he good at least?" I grumble my question, and when she doesn't answer me right away, I glance to my right to catch her grin. 

"What?"

"Nothing," she says, teasingly. "It's just...he might have broken your freshman record for passing yards. And he maybe wears your number. And his name might be Ryan."

I stop walking and she takes a few more steps away from me before turning and walking backward to face me.

"I'm kidding..." She points at me and laughs. All I can do is shake my head. My relief is short, though, because she's only kidding about that last part.

"His name's Bryce. He's a nice kid. Just a little...misguided." Her eyes dance on mine with that word, the same one her mom used to say about me when we were in high school.

"I'm going to hate him," I say, catching back up to her stride.

"Nah..." she says.

"I disagree." I'm firm about it. I don't care if the kid ends up winning state. I won't like him. Wait....

"How'd they do at state last year?" I ask.

She doesn't say it out loud. It's in the expression she wears, mouth higher on one side and eyes lifted. My daughter is dating a mini me. Damnit all to hell.

The sun is getting higher, and I know Nolan's starting to feel the heat on our walk, so I offer to turn around, but she insists we keep going. I don't fight her on it because these roads have a healing power to them. It's why Nolan wouldn't let my dad sell everything and move into a care place, why she moved in and why her and I both agreed this was where we wanted Peyton to go to high school. We can afford for my dad to be anywhere, which means we can also afford to bring therapists and doctors to us. This little piece of our history is too important.

The press box comes into view and the scent of barbecue hits my nose at the same time, making me salivate.

"Fundraiser?" I ask.

"It's homecoming week." Noles flits her gaze to me for a few seconds, and a thousand memories flood in. I'd give anything to get a redo on some of our school dances. On homecoming, especially.

That's why she was alright with the heat. She knew this destination would scratch at my soul. It does the job.

"Come here," I say, slowing down my walk as she gets a few paces ahead. She turns to face me and I reach out my hand.

Bashful eyes haven't aged a day, I swear to God. Her mouth curves in suspicion―as it should. I curl my fingers, gesturing for her to take my hand, and my head tilts to the side.

"Come on, I won't bite," I say, and her head turns a fraction to the right as her eyes dim.

We stay in this standoff for a few seconds, eyes locked and every chase in our past flowing through our minds. I don't mask it well, and when I reach for her she squeals and takes off in a sprint toward the field.

"You know I'm going to catch you!" I call after her as she rounds the fence and swings the gate close behind her in an effort to slow me down.

I grab the top and swing my legs over in a jump, a little impressed with myself when I don't biff the landing or get hurt. Noles glances over her shoulder, her long hair a twisted mess that covers most of her eyes, but she still sees me. Her laughter gets wild, this giggle that's so damned reminiscent of the school girl I fell for two decades ago.

We make it to the track and she slows up, giving in for my arms to lift her up over my shoulder and walk her the rest of the way into the end zone. I spin her a few times until I'm dizzy and then I let her body slide back down to the damp grass, my arms still around her.

This feels good.

It won't last.

"Cry Baby is brilliantly written. It's hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking and will leave you thinking about it for days afterward. Bravo, Ms. Scott. This boy-man stole my heart and I don't want it back." ― L.J. Shen, Bestselling Author

Blurb:
Tristan Lopez is loyal to his brothers. He doesn't really have a choice, born into a gang that has a chokehold on every kid that roams its streets. He gave his life to them, willingly, knowing if he did then one day this kingdom, led by boys drunk with power and ruled by fear, would all be his.

He was loyal through it all. Loyal when prison took his dad away. Loyal when his face was touched by the cold metal of the rival gang's gun. Loyal even though his mom begged him to run the moment she returned home from rehab.

He thought about becoming someone else. It was hard not to crave the life of a regular 17-year-old. It's the only reason he stayed in school―to pretend. But he always fell back in line.

Loyal.

Riley Rojas didn't belong in Tristan's real world. She should have only been part of the fantasy, one of the many faces he got to pretend with amidst rows of metal chairs and desks and whiteboards with assignments. But there she was, moving boxes from the back of an old pick-up into a house Tristan had shot up on a dare with his friends only a few months before.

Tall enough to look him in the eyes and string enough to fill his shadow, Riley took up space on his streets, her loud mouth fearless in the fave of the gang leaders who terrified everyone else. She pushed Tristan around on the hard court, and she balled better than his friends―better than him sometimes. She challenged him. She needed him. He liked it. And when her pale blue eyes stared into his, he quit wanting to pretend.

He couldn't ask her to leave because she'd only dig her heels in deeper. He couldn't ask because he didn't want her to go. She was blurring his lines. She was testing his loyalty.

He was falling in love.

And it was going to tear him apart.
