Two by Taggart: A coming-of-age romance collection

This book collects two coming-of-age love stories by contemporary romance author Molly Taggart. With strong heroines who are grasping for growth and conflicted heroes who are confronting their futures, these romance novellas will appeal to both new adults and older readers.

INCOMPLETE PASS

Six years ago, Tracy Tanner’s father left home and never came back. Last year, she almost dropped out of high school. This year, her boyfriend’s cheating on her. She’s nothing like her neighbor Sean Wilson, the all-American, straight-A student who always has a game plan. Sean knows he’ll be marrying his high school sweetheart and heading to college on a football scholarship this summer. That’s why Tracy’s puzzled when, late one night, she finds him slamming a crowbar against the wooden fence that separates their two homes. That fence won’t be the last wall Sean tears down between them.

ESCAPING VENICE

Vanessa Grayson longs to escape her unambitious past in her small hometown of Venice, Texas. Fresh out of college, she's aspiring to launch a career in politics. To concentrate on her goals, Vanessa has sworn off men, but Nick Andrews is going to test her resolve. The attractive young financial consultant behaves like a self-assured man, and yet his vulnerability runs as deep as Vanessa's own. When Vanessa finds herself sucked back into Venice, she retreats into her armor of cynicism. She can't imagine anything more dangerous than allowing Nick to chain her heart.
