Collision (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781963533125)

Book 1 in The Collision Duet is an emotional, slow burn, reverse grumpy/sunshine romance.

After losing both of her parents, Merritt Adams was forced to grow up at a young age. Now a bitter and jaded adult, she's convinced that the only person she can count on is herself. When she's injured in a fiery crash, Merritt has to learn how to accept help from her friends. But she isn't prepared for support from the popular musician she used to go to school with.

Chase Brooks spent the last two years in California aspiring to become a rock star, but his dream is cut short when he receives word about his sick father. He returns home to be with his family, and ends up seeking solace in the one girl who knows what it's like to lose everything. Merritt fights her attraction to Chase every step of the way, refusing to let him in. But beneath his cocky charm and good looks, she finds a caring man who's hurting just as badly as she is.

As they grow closer, the wall Merritt built around her heart begins to crumble. What Merritt doesn't know is that Chase holds the truth about who saved her from her mangled car the night of the accident - and it could destroy the trust he's worked so hard for.

Two sad souls could be perfect for each other, but a secret might tear them apart.

*This is book 1 in a duet. It ends on a cliffhanger.
