The Road Trip Rewind
by Kate Tamberelli Danny TamberelliBack to the Future meets 10 Things I Hate About You as the past, the present, and two hearts with unfinished business collide in the most epic, hilarious, and downright poignant way . . . Up-and-coming screenwriter Beatrix Noel&’s dream project is finally a reality—her 90s-era script is in production. Less dreamy is the A-list actor in the starring role—none other than Rocco Riziero, who jilted Beatrix on New Year&’s Eve back in 1999. Without his celebrity status, the project would likely still be withering on her hard drive, but that doesn&’t mean Beatrix won&’t shame him at every opportunityon-set—especially when it becomes painfully obvious he doesn&’t even remember her . . . Boxed-in as a Hollywood pretty-boy, Rocco is thrilled to tackle a genuinely dramatic role. But he&’s perplexed about why the screenwriter treats him like a maggot. And awkward becomes irksome when their bickering results in a car crash right outside the famed Roxy Theatre on Sunset Boulevard—site of the New Year&’s Eve party where everything went wrong . . . Shockingly, Beatrix, Rocco, and the car, are uninjured. The twist? They&’re clearly, truly, somehow, still in December, still on Sunset—but in 1999. Their mission? They&’ll have to work together to correct their old mistakes—which just might bring them closer than either expects . . . But can they change the past without altering their future selves—and hold on to what they&’ve found together? Only time-travel will tell . . .

The Road to Forgiveness
by Carol CoxFrom the book: "Having my father shoot you was hardly my idea of how to keep you here." She tilted her chin up in a gesture that reminded him of Catherine when she faced the consequences of some misdeed. "But I have to admit I'm grateful." "Grateful." He felt an ominous calm settle over him. "Grateful that I've been turned into a useless cripple?" "Better a cripple than a corpse," Hallie retorted. Jacob stepped away from her. "What makes you so sure I would have gotten killed? I might have come back as an officer. At the very least, I'd know whether I could stand up to the sound of bullets whizzing past me without turning tail and running. I'd know that I'm a man." His tone grew rough. "And everyone else would know it, too." Hallie spoke in a voice thick with emotion. "I said my prayers were answered, and I meant it, even though I never would have asked for you to be hurt. God really does know what's best, if you'll just let Him be in control instead of trying to figure it all out on your own. "Why do men have to be so bullheaded and determined to do things their way?" She started to walk away, then looked back over her shoulder. "Don't you know God cares about you, Jacob? He loves you even more than I do."
