Book 1
Pepped Up
Blurb
Pepper Jones is ready for an epic cross country season.
She wants to qualify for Nationals, and she’s willing to do anything it takes to make it happen.
She can handle long miles and hill sprints, but boys?
That's an entirely different challenge.
Pepper's never considered revealing her deeper feelings for her longtime friend, Jace Wilder.
After all, he’s got the personal magnetism and good looks to hook just about any girl in town -- and he has.
Their friendship stands apart from high school social circles, and they’re both just fine with that (or at least they pretend to be)
That is, until running star Ryan Harding moves to town.
When it comes to running, Pepper’s goals are clear.
But when it comes to Jace and Ryan, it's nowhere near as simple.
Pepped Up is the first in a series that follows Pepper through high school and into college.
All Pepped Up, the second book in the Pepper Jones Series will be released July 11, 2014.
*This book contains mature content.*
Book 2
All Pepped Up
Blurb
Pepper Jones knew that being Jace Wilder’s girlfriend wouldn’t be simple.
But she didn’t predict just how many complications would arise from his past.
Jealous girls?
That she expected.
Family secrets?
Not so much.
At least Pepper can always hit the trails to clear her head... except when it comes to racing.
The high expectations from her phenomenal cross country season haunt her, and she can’t seem to get psyched up for track season.
Pepper’s junior year at Brockton Public is full of challenges on and off the track, but she’s not afraid to face them.
EXCERPT FROM ALL PEPPED UP:
"What took us so long to be together, anyway?”I ask.
He smirks at me, and I wiggle in my seat. No one can smirk like Jace Wilder. It's a huge turn-on.
"You weren't ready for me, Pep."
I tug my hand away and cross my arms. "What? I think you mean you weren't ready for me. I didn't have a single boyfriend until this year and you" -I wave my hand in his direction- "were with girls all the time.Then, as soon as I get my first boyfriend, you decide you're ready for me. What's up with that, huh?"
Jace tries to control his laughter at my outburst but I see through it. My eyes narrow and I shove him in the chest.
"Okay, okay." He raises his hand in defeat. "I didn't want to mess things up with you. How many times do I have to tell you? You're special, Pep. Too good for me, or anyone. I didn't want to give something a try and fuck it all up and lose you."

My head tilts to the side as I take this in. And then I smirk right back at him. "You"- I point at his chest- "big bad Jace Wilder. Were afraid of losing me" -I point to myself with a huge grin on my face- "little Pepper Jones, the girl next door?"
He grabs my finger and pulls me toward him so that I'm sitting on his lap.
"I'm still scared," he whispers gruffly.
Jace's head dips lower, nuzzling my neck. His warm breath sends goosebumps along my spine as his lips skim my jaw line. "Terrified, actually."
