Safe Bet

There's no man in the world who won't break Reagan Anders's heart... At the fragile age of eight, Reagan's life seemed perfect. But when her beloved father abandoned their tiny family, Reagan was left emotionally scarred. Now in high school, not much has changed. Reagan still won't let her guard down. Not even for her long-time friend, Brock Anderson, who has spent years pursuing Reagan, yet never tearing down her walls. If you push hard enough, eventually you'll get your way... By graduation, Brock has finally won over Reagan's affections. They aren't a public item, but Brock is content just being hers, even if that means going without the official boyfriend title. As usual, Reagan's fears get the better of her, and suspicions of Brock's commitment creep in. Surviving their relationship's tension, they make it to college together, where their game of cat and mouse takes a darker twist. Tragedies come in threes... But after a tragic car crash that kills her best friend, her mother ships her off to the one person Reagan hates more than herself. Her father. When she meets her brother she never knew, they immediately become friends. Years pass until one day when she meets one of her brother's friends...Brock Anderson-and he's on a mission to win her back. When Reagan and Brock are reunited, the chemistry is stronger than ever. But when uncertainty threatens their future, will Brock be the safe bet, or will he be the heartache she always feared?
