The Next Flame

Paperback | 480 pages

Here are New York Times bestseller Penelope Douglas’s two bestselling novellas in the Fall Away Series, together in one volume.

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. Now, 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 without her three older brothers jumping in to hover. Lucas, a family friend from her childhood 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. 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.

Series Overview: The New York Times bestselling series from Penelope Douglas that follows a close-knit circle of friends through their college years.
