It begins with a sealed envelope. Chad Breckinridge is a successful attorney who is pushing fifty and is trying to find some sense in his life. After a heartwrenching tragedy, he begins to look back on his existence from his days in high school as a football star and all around popular guy, to his time fighting in the jungles of Vietnam, the hazing, party life of college, and later the struggles of marriage, fatherhood and finally having to grow up and be responsible. The guy who lived most of his life, "in the moment" must now reflect back on it all to draw a picture of a life most profound. For all the zany adventures, and good times, and life changing events that Chad has been part of, true love was always just out of reach. Chad must come to grips with himself and discover HIS true meaning, and then, and only then, can he open the sealed envelope and find out what it all means. Chad's story is a story of life and of love. And as always, it's not the destination that matters, but the journey.

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.

An intense, coming-of-age love story with a Me Before You meets A Star is Born vibe. Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Nicholas Sparks. ELLIE I fell in love with Connor Bourke when I was twelve years old. We shared everything together: first kiss, first love, first mistake, and first regret. I gave him my heart, but he broke it. Now he’s back—music’s hottest new thing. And he wants me by his side. CONNOR Eloise Mitchell was a blazing fire when my world turned dark. She shined so bright and burned so fierce that the wall I built around myself simply melted to the ground at her feet. She showed me that music was my gift, and to use it to speak. She was my voice, my one true love, my everything. Ellie’s heart belonged to me. And even though I broke it, I was sure as hell gonna fix it. "I have no words to describe this book, really. It's sort of like Jojo Moyes meets Nicholas Sparks meets Romeo & Juliet. It's most definitely a love story - a wonderful one, with a beautiful start and a scary, yet even better, ending." ~ Reviewer
