True Companion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992748109)

In her junior year at college, Rebecca Winslow was expecting to miss her boyfriend, Jason, a handsome pre-law student, but she was not expecting to run into her best friend from childhood. A boy. Correction, a guy. Make that a gorgeous guy. TJ.

It's the sixteenth anniversary of Rebecca's sister's death. Rebecca is desperate to rid herself of her perfect sister's haunting shadow and her overbearing-yet emotionally distant mother. A winter semester back at college with her close and crazy roommates is just what she needs.

Yet, seeing TJ Lawson in her "breath of fresh air" Ballroom Dance class leads Rebecca to put back pieces from their lifetime apart. TJ has reappeared in her universe like a sunrise, shining a light on her true self. Navigating junior year with high expectations and a heavy workload, she is also reliving the past-that last summer before everything changed. Just Beck and TJ. Best friends. Side by side and free. Rebecca begins to question everything.

Has she been hiding behind the persona of her dead sister all this time? Could TJ be the key to helping her open up?

Caught in the middle of the past and future, Rebecca finally has to be honest with herself. Will she take the path her mother laid out for her, continue her romance with Jason, or grab TJ's hand and twirl into a new dance?

True Companion Series

True Companion is a new adult romance series by Margie Janes that follows the intersecting lives of Rebecca (Beck) Winslow and Tommy (TJ) Lawson in the Chicago suburbs, southern Illinois, and on a college campus. Told using the dual timelines of childhood and adulthood, Beck and TJ, once childhood best friends, become separated by space and time. Eleven years later, TJ reappears in Beck's universe like a sunrise. Their friendship sparks, igniting their connection once more, but this time, they become more than soulmates, more than comfort. They are each other's everything.

The second book in the series, True Promise, picks up where True Companion leaves off. True Promise is told through Beck's eyes and her mother's journal.

Beck's mother, Suzanne has never been an open book, but through the pages of her journal, her life unfolds through memories of love, loss, and a struggle to be the mother she has always longed to be.

Beck and TJ take the reader on an emotional journey through laugh-out-loud moments with friends, meant-for-you, unrivaled passion, and family drama. Just when Beck and TJ believe their future is set, their lives leading seamlessly into each other's space, a tragic new reality halts everything moving them forward together. How will Beck and TJ overcome insurmountable obstacles to get back to their true promise to love each other forever?
