This Deluxe Box Set begins with To Be Her First, the young adult prequel that explores the choices made by lovable wild child Journey Durant. The prequel leads up to where the award-winning novel, The Bed She Made, begins.
TO BE HER FIRST (Prequel)
At sixteen, Journey Durant hasn't yet experienced her first anything. No first boyfriend. No first date. No first kiss. But that's all about to change. Two boys at West Emerson High are vying for her attention: the MVP quarterback and the school's reigning bad boy.
David Britton is the sensible choice. He's attractive, responsible, and every mother's dream - including hers. But David and Journey are from two different social universes where David is the sun in his, and Journey is a moon rock in hers. He's the most popular guy in school, and Journey is just background noise. She has a hard enough time accepting that he truly wants to be her friend, much less anything more.
And then there's Steven Drake. Steven has dominated Journey's fantasy life for as long as she can remember. He has a short list of things he cares about and school, the future, and what anyone thinks of him aren't on it. Journey finds the element of rebellion he emanates to be intoxicating. But as much as Steven excites her, she knows there's trouble down that road.
So who will be her first? Mr. Most Likely to Succeed or Mr. Most Likely to Go to Jail?
THE BED SHE MADE (Winner of Best New Adult Romance)
Journey Durant's father warned her, "Someday you'll have to lie in the bed you've made." But she didn't believe him...until now.
She has just received news that her ex-boyfriend is about to be released from prison, and this reformed bad girl can't shake the feeling that her troubled past is coming home with him. The town of Emerson, Georgia has forgiven and forgotten her involvement in the most publicized tragedy in the town's history, but only because of her three year absence, her prominent Southern Baptist family, and her marriage to the closest thing her small town has to a superhero.
Bullets and emotions fly, leaving Journey to realize that no matter what penance she has done for her past, the mistakes of her youth still carry unpaid penalties.
Genre: General Fiction
