Going Under
Book 1 of the Going Under Series

Jesse Boone is a self-proclaimed bad boy and doesn’t march to the beat of anyone’s drum but his own. Growing up in less than desirable circumstances has made him no stranger to the hard knock life but his determination to leave it behind is fervent. He sees an opportunity to snag a college football scholarship when he’s transferred to East Franklin High School but Forbes Henderson has other plans. The player Jesse intends to replace doesn’t plan on giving up his spot as starting quarterback so a rivalry is born. Jesse is determined to show his nemesis that he’s not only going to take his position as first string quarterback, he’s going to take his girl, too.

Claire Deveraux is perfection at its best. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and unaware she just became Jesse Boone’s conquest to settle a score with her boyfriend. Like her flawless performance as the perfect daughter and student, Claire’s production of being the perfect girlfriend has everyone fooled, except Jesse Boone. She fears this tattooed bad boy will see her secret desire to explore his crude threats and promises of rocking her perfect world. If she decides to give in to one uninhibited moment with Jesse, will she learn too late that it was all an act of vengeance or will Jesse learn that the taste of first love is sweeter than that of revenge?


Shallow
Book 2 of the Going Under Series

Nick Hawke wants his car fast and his girls faster. He blows through them quicker than his muscle car races down the drag strip in Collinsville and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s determined to avoid the devastation he has watched his father endure in the aftermath of his mother’s abandonment. He believes there is no room in his life or his heart for a relationship lasting more than one night. He seeks happiness in things that won’t let him down––fast cars, adrenaline highs, and one night stands. All of that changes when he unexpectedly runs into an old friend and is introduced to Payton Archer, the first girl he ever wanted for more than a night. There’s only one catch––she’s completely immune to him and his smooth talking ways.

Payton Archer is looking for love––the true, mad, deep kind. She’s given up on finding it, at least until she leaves for college because she’s certain that is where she’ll find the ideal guy to fit into her perfect world. Her summer plans include nothing more than three uneventful months of fun but it turns out to be anything but ordinary when Payton meets Nick Hawke, one of Jesse’s old Collinsville friends. She’s shocked by her immediate and intense attraction for “Hawke” because nothing about him is on her checklist for the perfect love. Sure, he’s hot and sexy but he comes from Collinsville and that is definitely not on her list of prerequisites. Everything about him makes Payton’s heart speed. He’s exciting and dangerous but his fast car and chance taking aren't what scares Payton the most. It’s the way Nick Hawke makes her feel every time he looks at her. Can Payton find the courage to leave the safe, shallow end of love and risk going under completely?

Going Under Teaser
Jesse Boone's POV

          Somewhere between Point A and Point B, something has gone astray. Screwing Claire was the perfect vengeance against Forbes but spending time with her has changed everything. I didn't plan on liking her so much—or at all—but I do. I wasn't supposed to become emotionally involved but I have. I drive away from her tonight realizing my heart doesn't care a thing about my original intentions. 
          She thinks I pulled away because I was on the verge of ravishing her. That much is true but it isn't why I needed to distance myself. I want her in a different kind of way––one I'm not good enough for and requiring me to give more of myself than I'm willing to share.
          She was freely giving herself to me tonight. I never expected that. I'm stoked about it––but spooked as well.
          Once I'm home, I lie in bed recalling the taste of her skin and the breathless way she allowed me to kiss her. I wanted her more than air in my lungs and that's a problem. It means I've lost sight of the prize. I no longer desire screwing her as a way to get to Forbes. I want her for myself.
          I need to get a grip. To have a girl like Claire means allowing her to be a part of my life, and I'm not willing to go there. I can't risk her knowing my past, or even my present. I can't bear seeing my true self in her eyes.

Nick Hawke's POV

          I walk by doll face on the way and I can't resist speaking to her so I can look into her honey eyes again. "I forgot to introduce myself earlier. I'm Nick Hawke but all of my friends call me Hawke." She doesn't say anything. "This is the part where you tell me your name."
          She doesn't look at all happy with me. "Payton Archer."
          I repeat her name in my head. "Well, Payton Archer, it's almost time for the race. How do you feel about a good-luck kiss?"
          She grins. "I think a good-luck kiss is an excellent idea."
          Wow. That was easy, and unexpected––and then I figure out why. She goes over to my opponent and taps him on the shoulder. He turns around and she puts her arms up over his shoulders. She kisses him long and hard, causing the crowd to erupt into cheers and catcalls.
          She finishes and turns back to me. "It was only fair for Dane to get a good-luck kiss since you got a good-luck hump on the hood of your car."
          This girl is unbelievable, like nothing I've ever come across.
          I stand motionless, watching her strut to the roadside in her short skirt and jacked-up heels. One thing is certain: winning this race has nothing to do with the money anymore. I have to win so I can have my night with her.
