synopsis:
Cecille “CeCe” Cervetti lives her life by one rule: Never let a man control her heart, ever again.
CeCe has built a life to be proud of--she’s successful in business, and in lust. Men are her playground, to take from, and use to her body’s content. They can only have what she is willing to give, so don't try asking for more.
When an unknown stalker raises the stakes, ripping away her hard won control, CeCe reluctantly seeks help from the first, and last, man she gave her heart to before he vanished from her life--Jarod Gates.
As they struggle to unmask the stalker, CeCe and Jarod learn of each other’s scarred pasts—scars that made them who they are today. But when her body screams for Jarod’s touch, can CeCe manage to keep her control? Or will Jarod make her question the one rule she’s built her life on?

Changing Tunes by Heather Gunter
release date: February 16, 2014
genre: New Adult
available in paperback
and eBook: kindle | nook | smashwords | itunes | kobo
synopsis:
Ashley Davis is over her high school 'bitch' label and has decided to reinvent herself. College offers a new beginning, a chance to be different. After being assaulted, she's realized she needs to change, and college is just the place to do it. Nobody knows the Ashley she used to be and she'd like to keep it that way.
Afraid of falling into the same patterns, she decides that having no friends, no life, and focusing on school is the way to go. But she didn’t bank on someone like Mac as her roommate, or the tall, dark, and completely geek-hot in his glasses, Zeke Whitman.
Zeke Whitman is driven and focused when it comes to school. When he's forced to partner with the tall, leggy blonde with a slight attitude, he's thrown for a loop. With so much at stake, Zeke can’t afford distractions and Ashley is certainly that. From their first encounter, Zeke sees more than just another gorgeous girl.
As Ashley grapples with leaving the ‘old her’ behind, she realizes changing tunes isn't as easy as it sounds.
Sometimes you have to keep a little of the person you were, in order to become the person you want to be.

Do Kate and Luke give into one another’s baggage and avoid each other, like their heads tell them, or do they fight for the happily ever after they both want? When ‘life’ gives them more battles to fight, will they be strong enough to fight for each other? “Luke, my life story is crazy and complicated, why would you want to attempt this?” – Kate “Sunshine, we can’t erase our past, but we sure as hell can turn the page in your story and create our own crazy happy life together.” - Luke Does Life’s Next Chapter give Kate her fairy tale ever after, or will it be the chapter she quickly skips through?
