Synopsis:
Jade tries to push him away, but she can’t deny her attraction to him and Garret won’t let her. Things quickly heat up between them, but then come to a sudden halt when reality hits and Jade realizes that a relationship with Garret may never be possible. He comes from a world of wealth where there are rules, including rules about who he can date. And not following those rules has consequences.
As the two of them try to overcome the obstacles working to keep them apart, Jade is confronted with another challenge. On her 19th birthday, she receives a letter that her now deceased mother wrote years ago. In it are revelations that explain her traumatic childhood but also make her question the past she’s been running from.
Series description:
The
Jade Series is a New Adult Romance that follows the relationship of
Jade and Garret in their first year of college. In Choosing You, (book
1), Jade and Garret meet on Jade’s first night at Moorhurst College and
despite their strong attraction to each other, they’re not allowed to
date because of the strict rules that control Garret’s life. In Knowing
You, (book 2), Garret breaks the family rules and begins dating Jade.
Their relationship grows deeper but issues from Jade’s past complicate
matters. Loving You (book 3) shows Jade and Garret growing closer as a
couple but also hints at the trouble that lies ahead in Promising
You (book 4), in which a new challenge emerges for Garret that could
interfere with the future he wants with Jade. Originally, book 4 was the
end of the series, but fans wanted to read more about Jade and Garret,
so Allie is now in the process of writing Forever You, an all-new,
full-length follow-up book to The Jade Series releasing later this
spring!

Excerpt:
Garret
puts his phone away. “Can I come in? I’m kind of a target out
here in the hall.”
“A
target for what?” I ask, moving aside to let him in.
“Girls
fondling me.” A smirk crosses his face as he waits for my reaction.
“Please
tell me you’re kidding. Because if you’re not, then I need to
start upping the insults again to bring you back down to earth.”
He’s
trying hard to keep a straight face. “You saw Ava just now. Girls
just can’t help themselves. What can I say?”
I
shake my head and start rummaging through my drawer for a shirt.
“I can
help myself. I’m completely immune to whatever you think you’ve
got going on over there.”
“Yeah,
I know,” he mumbles. “You need some help?”
“Why?
You think I can’t dress myself?”
He
stands next to me, staring down at the open drawer. “Everything in
here is black.”
“Yeah.”
I close the drawer and open the one beneath it. “And everything in
here is white.”
“Where
are your other shirts?”
“That’s
it. Well, I have a few in the closet.”
He
walks over to look. “You only wear black or white?”
“Uh,
yeah. Are you just getting that? You’ve seen me how many times and
you’ve never noticed that?”
“Huh.
I guess not.”
“It’s
just easier that way. Black and white go with everything.” I take a
black t-shirt from the drawer.
“You
should wear purple sometime.”
I
almost choke laughing. “Purple? Are you joking?”
“What’s
wrong with purple?”
“I’ve
never worn anything purple in my life. I’ve never even considered
it. It’s one of those weird colors that old ladies wear.”
“Lots
of people wear purple. And with your green eyes, you would look great
in purple.”
“I
hate my green eyes. The last thing I want to do is draw attention to
them.”
He
comes closer and lifts my chin up with his hand. “How could you
hate your eyes? They’re the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen.
Why do you think I’m always staring at them?”
“Yeah,
that’s hilarious.” I push him back. “Now get out of here so I
can change. Wait in the hall. I’ll be like two seconds.”
“Jade,
you know I’m not safe out there.” He says it as if he’s really
in danger. “Did you see all those girls running around in towels
and robes?”
I
roll my eyes. “I swear. The insults are coming, my friend. So tell
your ego to get ready.”
He
stands there.
“You’re
really not leaving? Fine. Then turn around.”
I
change into my jeans and black shirt. “Okay, I’m done.”
He
inspects me. “Yeah. You definitely need some color. The black and
white thing is getting old.”
“Well,
I’m not planning on buying new clothes so you’ll have to get over
it.” I search through my desk drawer for money. “How much are
movie tickets? I haven’t been to a movie in years, so I have no
clue. Six bucks? Seven?”
“Don’t
worry about it. Let’s go.”
“Garret,
you’re not paying.”
“You
just saved me from being man-handled by Ava. That’s at least worth
the price of a movie ticket. Maybe even some popcorn, too.”
