Publication date: Fall, 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Synopsis for Fix Up:
Saying “I love you'' doesn’t erase the old scars and fears.
"I love you to insanity. I'm not even sure if it's a good thing.'' — Duke
Skye
is trying to overcome what happened with Sean. Now that she’s slowly
healing, both physically and mentally, she’s determined to do something
she should have done sooner.
She’s meeting twice a week with a new, very young therapist, Dr. Marshall.
There,
she’s able to talk freely, unwind, and question things. Most of the
sessions she talks about herself and her hangups, along with her
relationship with Duke, which is still on rocky ground.
"I want to taste his sweat. I want to hear his groans. I want to feel him inside of me.'' — Skye
But
while Skye is slowly getting back on her feet, Duke feels like he's
drowning. He’s afraid of pushing her too much, of initiating intimacy,
and it’s weighing between them. Moreover, knowing that he's not the one
she’s talking to anymore is making him feel things he never thought
possible.
"It’s a matter of when I’ll stop fighting." — Duke
As
days pass, Duke is showing over and over how vulnerable he truly is and
how Skye has more power over him than she ever imagined.
When
Skye sees how they keep hurting each other, she’s determined to do
everything in her power to make things right, no matter what the cost.
But one thing is still sure; she can count on Duke whenever she needs
him, even if they disagree and fight. When Duke loves, he loves with
everything he’s made of, the good and the bad.
Synopsis or Change Up:
In Patch Up and Fix Up you had Skye and Duke’s story. Now, it’s time for Derek and Kate to find their path.
He fights for the people he loves.
She fights against love.
Kate
Andrews is starting her second year of college in Seattle. She is happy
to leave Chicago and her dysfunctional family behind to be with her
friends again. Growing up she thought that her parents' loveless
marriage was all her father’s fault, but that summer she discovered that
things are so much more complicated in life and love.
Her
mother is bipolar. That doesn’t mean her father isn’t unfaithful, nor
does he support her and her choices. Additionally, he isn't a great
father or husband, but it brings a new perspective in her life; the way
she envisions love.
Derek Williams graduated
college a few months ago, and while he moved back in again with his
single mother and teenage brother, he never thought that he would be
struggling with two crappy jobs. He is not succeeding in either of his
jobs or in his countless plans for the future.
Instead,
he’s trying to bring back his brother and set him on a straight path,
while trying to avoid the wrong crowd hounding him, thanks to his
brother. Together with fighting his mother on her lack of support in
their family, this all has caused chaos.
“Yes,
my life is a fucking mess. I have nothing for that girl who deserves
everything, and yet I still can’t just sit on my ass and wait for the
next asshole to pursue her.‘' — DEREK
Both of them are very different. Their upbringing is opposite; their vision of love and life contrast, and yet …
“I want to open up to it, open up to the possibility of heartbreak even if I’m scared to death. I’m ready to change up.'' — KATE
They’re both still hung up on each other.
They
can’t forget that one night they shared months ago, can’t ignore their
attraction and quickly maturing love. They match in every way that
matters, but time and time again their respective families are getting
in the way.
"He’s the commitment kind while I’m anti-commitment." — KATE
Are
they willing to fight for each other? Is Kate ready to risk her comfort
and everything else for love? Is Derek prepared to chose which battles
are worth fighting for?
“It’s never been friendship, and it’ll never be.’’ — DEREK
