The moral of the story is that everyone deserves a special someone who overlooks their past and their flaws and loves them anyway. That’s the true definition of happily ever after. Which, for the record, is how our story ends…

Acknowledgments
I wanted to put my readers of the Taking Shots Series at the top of the acknowledgments for this book and say thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys are awesome, and your messages have kept me going. I always feel a bit sad when I finish a series, and this one is no different. I’ve had so much fun with these characters and spending so much time in Boston (even if it’s all been through Google and my imagination).
On that note, while I always try to keep everything as accurate as possible, I’ve taken some liberties with Boston College, such as what degrees they offer, for the sake of the story.
Huge thanks to Rebecca Yarros and Gina Maxwell, who keep me going day after day and are always there for me, to help keep me sane and to play “this or that?” when I can’t decide on a line or phrase. I don’t even want to know what I’d do without you, and neither one of you is ever allowed to travel outside of the US without wifi or cell service again. Just saying.
Alycia Tornetta, you’re an amazing editor and I love working with you. Thanks for all of your hard work and support through the years. Thanks to everyone at Entangled Publishing for giving me a home and letting me genre hop, and for just being generally awesome.
I’ve met many author friends on this journey. Shout-out to all these amazing women for the support and fun times: Rachel Harris, Melissa West, Molly Lee, Wendy Higgins, Evangeline Denmark, Ashlee Cowles, and Mandy Houk.
Finally, thanks to my family. You guys are the best and I’m so lucky to have you. Michael Madsen, thanks for all of your love and support, and most of all, for running to the grocery store when I’m out of Diet Mountain Dew so that I can get everything I need to done. I love you!

Solo
a novel by Lauren E. Rico
When graduate student Katherine Brenner walked into my music theory class, it was not love at first sight. She reminded me of the woman who broke my heart. If it wasn’t for that blizzard and her broken down car, and how she looked by firelight, I would never have kissed her. No matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking of her lips. I’m her professor. It’s against university policy. There’s a million reasons why this won’t work.
Trusting Tanner
a Collins Brothers novel by Lexi Lawton
Tanner Collins is perfection—tall, dark, sinfully sexy—and completely out of Juliana Shea’s league. Knowing she’d never survive a repeat of her last disastrous relationship, she parks Tanner firmly in the friend zone. But man, he’s hard to resist. Juliana is exactly what Tanner wants, and he slowly wins her over with kindness and humor… Until with the flick of a “send” button, their hope for a future together is shattered. But Tanner isn’t the type to give up on what he wants—and he wants Juliana.
Wilder
a Renegades novel by Rebecca Yarros
He’s Paxton Wilder, five-time X Games medalist and smoking-hot leader of the Renegades. The world is his playground, and for the next nine months Leah Baxter is stuck as his tutor on the Study at Sea program. If she can’t get him to take his academics seriously, she’ll lose her scholarship…if she doesn’t lose her heart first.
Unfixable
by Tessa Bailey
Willa Peet isn’t interested in love. She’s been there, done that, and has the shattered heart to prove it. Ready to shake the breakup, she heads to Dublin, Ireland. But there’s a problem. A dark-haired, blue-eyed problem with a bad attitude that rivals her own. And he’s not doling out friendly Irish welcomes. Shane Claymore is only in Dublin long enough to sell the Claymore Inn and get things in order for his mother and younger sister. Meeting a sarcastic American girl makes him question everything, but will their pasts destroy any hope of a future together?
