The Destined Series

Danny Thomas was never the boy who got the girl—he was always second place to his best friend Skylar. All through high school, he rode shotgun, watching Skylar, in all his crowning glory, make his rounds through all the ladies on campus. That all changed the first day of college when Danny finally took first place, landing a date with Mira. It only took a few encounters for her to steal his heart—and vice versa. She chose him. Even through the ups and downs of college life, Danny and Mira’s relationship blossoms into something truly beautiful—something dreams are made of—only to be tested one fateful night.  The core four—Mira, Danny, Skylar and Kylee—encounter a tragedy nobody should have to face alone. How do they survive? Together, that’s how. Immediately following Mirage, Inception highlights Danny’s POV during those crucial four years at college. To understand the full story, you must go back to the beginning—the inception.

During freshman orientation, two sets of best friends embark on an adventure together, forming life-long bonds. Entering the unknown as young adults, Mira, Kylee, Danny and Skylar face challenges all new college students encounter, as well as a few situations some people their age should never experience.  Everything was going according to plan: Mira and Danny looking forward to their future as husband and wife, Kylee graduating with the job of her dreams and Skylar gaining acceptance into the motorcycle club he’s loved since he was a boy. Then, tragedy strikes on graduation night, leaving only three of the core four to pick up the pieces. Just as Mira thinks she’s getting her life back on track, it all spins out of control … again. When feelings kept hidden under the surface come to light, she can no longer deny the connection she and Skylar share. What if everything you thought you knew was nothing more than a carefully constructed mirage?

*This book can be read as a STAND ALONE but should be read in order* Kylee Anderson is a catch by any man’s standards: funny, witty, sexy, intelligent and wants all the benefits of being with someone without the attachment. College was her playground. She found her core group of friends who held her up, pushed her forward and demanded she be exactly who she wanted to be—they formed an unconventional, unconditional bond.  Once Kylee graduated, she entered the real world and met the infamous CEO of the largest real estate development agency, Jacoby Roberts. Their relationship was blossoming when Kylee was slapped in the face with the reality of why she’d stayed distant her entire adult life. Even though she pushed Jacoby to continue following the path of benefits without titles, Jacoby tried to break down the walls she’d built around her heart. Kylee has created a great façade to hide her emotions, but could Jacoby be the one to finally get her to open up enough to realize her future’s staring her in the face? Or will she add another brick?

Broken and battered, Mira’s fighting to put herself back together while her heart’s trying to forget. How can she move forward with one man and be hopelessly in love with another? Skylar’s wrestling demons he never could’ve imagined. The girl he’s been in love with for years finally shares the same feelings, but her heart could possibly lie somewhere else. With emotions running hot, how long can he survive before his willpower shatters?  Three people, two choices, one heart … Who can come out on top when someone you love so much will lose? Is Mira’s awakening going to ruin everything these friends have built?

Epiphany, the final installment of The Destined Series, concludes the stories of four best friends from college who are making decisions which will set the course for the rest of their lives. These core four have had their share of painful pasts, troubled presents and unknown futures. Since college graduation, Skylar’s gotten more involved with the MC, creating turmoil in his relationship. Mira’s quickly learning trust isn’t as easily given as she would have thought. Danny’s life’s on the rocks as he continues to grasp at straws, desperately trying to find his place in a world more unforgiving than he imagined. Kylee’s success is causing Jacoby to feel left out and he’s beginning to resent her career. With all the ups and downs, will these relationships survive and allow everyone to make it out unscathed? This group of friends, who have become family, is searching for signs to lead them in the right direction. Let’s hope a moment of déjà vu will be the epiphany they all need to move toward the happily ever after they deserve.
