Braver With You

Conrad has been Ashlyn's best friend, her rock, since a fateful camping trip changed their lives as kids. He's everything she isn't-bold, heroic, and independent-while she continues to bow to her mother's control.

They can't wait to pledge their lives to one another, but her mom has turned the simple wedding they wanted into a veritable circus. Planning her own secret ceremony seemed a better option, but as the big day approaches, the tension of her subversive tactics plus a traumatic anniversary and an unexpected announcement from Conrad threaten to push Ashlyn over the tipping point.

She'd follow him anywhere, but they'll need all her courage and all his support to make it through and come out stronger together.
