HERE’S WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT RECKLESS: “Beautiful ending to a tumultuous story. Made me cry several times. Characters were complex and true. Worth staying up all night to finish.” ~ Girl Writes Words, Amazon Reviewer “I read this book and then read it to my daughters as well. They love it so much that they re-read it all the time! It is a great action/romance with tons of humor. In fact, I even bought a paperback version too so my daughter could read it at school (they aren't allowed electronic devices). The copy is worn out already and I've had to tape it up--it's that good.” ~ Amazon Reviewer “Perfect sequel to Wrecked. I could not put this book down from the moment I saw it was available and bought it until the time I finished it. I have to say as much as I love all of Elle's writing I think this would be my favorite series from her. I hope there is more to come!!” ~ Heather, Goodreads Reviewer “Elle Casey has done it again! This is a fun read with a great plot, great execution and that moves at lightening speed! I loved finding out what happened to the four kids stranded on a remote island 'after the fact!!!' (Wrecked, Book 1) Elle writes characters that you love, love to believe in and want to know!” ~ Dianne, Goodreads reviewer

I loved him before I knew what the word meant. From skinned knees to first dates and everything in between. But he was never mine to love. I settled for friendship, even though I always wanted more. That was before. Before he ripped my world apart and didn't bother sticking around to help me pick up the pieces. I knit every last shred back together all on my own. And I've all but forgotten his name. Now, he's back, and everything is torn apart once more. But he's not the only one doing the tearing this time. And there might be no stopping the person who has it out for us both.

There were shadows I was running from. Ones that haunted and taunted. Ones that made it so I had no choice but to disappear. I’d spent years hiding from the world. My little island haven, the only assurance of safety. It all changed the moment he showed up at my door. The hint of pain in his eyes told me that something haunted him, too. And I couldn’t help but be drawn closer. But finding the person I needed most came with risks I never expected. And when our ghosts find us again, neither of us may make it out this time. ***** Read what reviewers are saying about Reckless Refuge: “Addictive, truly suspenseful, and utterly romantic, this is a top read of the year!” - Samantha Young, New York Times Bestseller “Beautiful, emotional and riveting.

My past taught me to play it safe. To stay far away from handsome men who promised it all. My life was good without them. Stable, secure, predictable. But one kiss showed me that I’d been playing it safe for far too long. One night and all I wanted was more of his wildfire. One challenge and my carefully constructed walls tumbled down. Amidst the rubble, I realized there was more to this man than I ever dreamed. When everything fell apart, he showed me what it meant to stay. How to truly live. But some demons don’t stay buried. The past can come knocking when you least expect. And the life he’s showing me might be shorter than either of us expected…

One night was all it took for everything to change. From college student to guardian in a single breath. My siblings became my world. No time for date nights or romantic dreams. I traded quiet weekends for sleepless nights. Giving my all to make sure they were cared for. But Griffin had a brokenness that called to me—one that mirrored my own. Gruff and just a little bit reckless. He was the last thing I needed. But everything I wanted. Only someone isn’t happy about this new life I’m building. Deciding to set fire to everything I hold close. And when the smoke clears, there might be only ashes left behind… ***** Read what others are saying about Wrecked Palace: "A tortured hero, an inspirational heroine, suspense, and a slow-burn romance are the perfect recipe for a book that will utterly captivate readers.

It was supposed to be a summer we’d never forget. Instead, everything was stolen from me. The best friend who was more like a sister. The innocent way I looked at life. Leaving me with only unanswered questions. Returning to the island is the second chance I didn’t know I needed. And Hunter is the surprise that knocks me sideways. There’s a hurt in him that calls to my own. A strength I find in sharing our scars. Igniting a spark that turns to flame. But someone isn’t happy about the world I’m building for myself. And nothing will stop them from tearing it all apart…

A USA Today Bestselling Romance Novel by Priscilla West Note: This is the beginning of Hunter & Lorrie's story. You DO NOT need to read any other books in The Forever Series before enjoying this one. “There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken.” Two years ago, Lorrie’s mother was murdered. But that wasn’t the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie’s father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide. The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive. Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.” Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “The Hammer.” Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat. Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas. As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other?
