Dare to Kiss (The Maxwell Series Book 1)

About to fulfill her dream, Lacey loses everything

Like most 17-year-old girls, Lacey Robinson loves her family. What makes her unique is her unmatched talent for baseball. With an unhittable fastball and a killer slider, it's no wonder Arizona State University wants to talk about a scholarship for its boys' team. She's living out her dream until life throws a nasty and deadly curveball. She loses her mother and sister to a home invasion, and baseball and her dreams die with them. Stricken with nightmares, panic attacks, and even blackouts, Lacey is diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Upon recommendation from her psychiatrist, she moves across the country and tries to pick up the pieces of her life.

When tragedy tears down everything she loves, his touch gives her a second chance

Now, only two things matter to Lacey--overcoming her PTSD and making the Kensington High baseball team. But she never expected to meet the tall, sexy, and drool-worthy Kade Maxwell. His magical touch awakens her feminine side, and his kiss erases her nightmares. As her symptoms start to fade, her sports dreams take a turn for the worse, as baseball captain Aaron Seever doesn't want a girl on the team.

On the brink of another fatal loss, she will have to fight to keep what is most precious to her

But Aaron isn't the only one making Lacey's life challenging. When Kade's arch-nemesis returns to town to settle an old score, Lacey's PTSD comes back with a vengeance. She'll need to learn how to push away her demons, or she'll lose everything good she has left.

Just when you think things are going to quiet down, the story takes an unexpected and suspenseful turn. Author Alexander does a masterful job of juggling both the fiery love story and the tense suspense in this powerful new adult romance.
