Love Unplugged

Bianca Easton is the perfect senator's daughter. Law school? Check. Camera-ready smile? Check. A dull and boring existence? Double check. But, that was before. Before she lost her best and only friend in a tragic accident. Before she found that friend's unfinished bucket list. Definitely before, she turned her life upside-down by deciding to stay in New York for six-months to finish it. It's while she's checking off her first item on the list-buy coffee for a stranger-that she meets Ian Mathis. Between the tattoo sleeve curling up his right arm, his guitar-roughened fingertips, and the secrets shadowing his past, he's a complication Bianca doesn't need but desperately wants. With every item they cross off the list together, Bianca uncovers a piece of herself that she's buried under what's expected, all the while breaking her own rules by falling hard for Ian. But, when her six-months run out, Bianca has to decide if she's willing to risk her empty but picture-perfect life for a chance at real, messy love.

Juliet St. Clair has spent her life under Hollywood's spotlight. While being America's favorite girl next door has had its perks, having to testify against her stalker to put him behind bars certainly wasn't one of them. But, when she thinks about walking away from it all, she can't help remembering the enormous pile of medical bills her family is drowning under. Bills that just keep on coming. Felix Donovan had it all-stunning good looks, gorgeous women, and a spot as the drummer to a band that's sitting pretty at the top of the charts. Until one life-altering decision, left him paralyzed from the waist down. He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry when he wins this year's Sexiest Man award, but the one thing he immediately does is send out a Non-disclosure agreement. Hiding his condition from the public is hard as hell, but he's not ready to face the world while he's still struggling to accept his new reality. Except this year's Sexiest Woman-Juliet St. Clair-never looks at him with pity, only desire. But, falling for Juliet means a permanent spot in the tabloids, a decision Felix isn't sure he's ready to make. And, when Juliet's stalker re-emerges from her past, Felix's secret isn't the only thing at stake, it could cost Juliet her life.

In The Way Back to Us, the third book in the Love Unplugged series by Jamie Howard, a second chance at love is a risk worth fighting for when the past catches up with you. Gavin MacCormack found the one. He fell in love. Hard. Until one night, he ran out for some ice cream and came back to an empty dorm room, closets bare and nothing but a quick hand-written note saying, I'm sorry. Those two words taught Gavin the meaning of heartbreak. A feeling he never wants to encounter again. And, as the lead singer of a Grammy award-winning band he's had plenty of opportunities for casual, no-strings fun, which is just the way he likes it. Dani Winters has had more names than birthdays. On the run with her father for nearly as long as she can remember, she's lived her life by three rules-always plan for the worst, maintain a low profile at all costs, and never let anyone get too close. Except she broke that last rule once and her heart has never forgiven her. One chance encounter changes everything. Seeing Dani resurrects feelings in Gavin he thought were long buried, and this time he's not letting her disappear without getting some answers. But, Dani's life is the definition of complicated and she's playing with fire by letting Gavin back in. When the time comes to run again, Dani needs to decide if a life without love is worth living, or if it's time to stop running and fight.
