About this ebook
Here are New York Times bestseller Penelope Douglas’s two bestselling novellas in the Fall Away Series, together in one volume for the first time.
AFLAME
All through high school, Jared Trent called the shots. He decided if Tatum Brandt would be happy or sad, fearful or free. He owned her heart, and he played with it like one of his cars. Never again.
Two years ago, Jared left town, and Tate’s life is exactly where she wants it to be. Or that’s what she tells herself...
Because two years ago, her heart also stopped beating, and no matter the success in school or the support of her friends, there’s only one time every week she can feel that same rush in her blood: Friday nights on the track.
That’s hers, not his, and to hell with anyone that gets in her way again. Especially him.
NEXT TO NEVER
Under the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn Caruthers has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings—or even date—without her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon, jumping in to hover. And when a family friend—several years older—from her childhood still holds her heart, she knows they’re going to be a problem. Lucas Morrow is a man, and knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden.
But Lucas left town and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn’t wait for him anymore....
Until a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn her world upside down. She’s never asked about the path of her parents’ romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start.
As she starts to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she’ll keep waiting...or finally go after what she really wants.

I LOVED This book Series!!! All of their Stories; Jared, Tatum, Madoc, Fallon, Jaxon and Juliet! All of them are perfect! Had me Smiling, laughing, Crying, and even feeling heartbroken at sometimes for them. Bully was the first Penelope Douglas I picked up not even a few weeks ago. and after reading that; I was hooked! Penelope Gave these Characters such Love and Life. You can really feel their emotions as you go through their stories with them. All the hurt and Sorrow, All the Love and passion; It had me going from crying, to laughing my Butt off, to feeling such Love and happiness for these Characters. I think A Flame Gave the perfect ending to their stories! And the Spice! The spice in all the books definitely can get your heart beating! This is definitely a Book series I will be returning to later on when I need a book/Series that can get my heart feeling all those different emotions and put me in a good mood! Definitely a 10/10 series. LOVED IT!
