      Krásne romantický, silný, ale aj mierne provokatívny príbeh lásky medzi dvomi celkom rozdielnymi ľuďmi. Wavy je dcéra drogového dílera a psychicky nevyrovnanej, citovo labilnej ženy. Život ju naučil nedôverovať nikomu a ničomu, dokonca ani vlastným rodičom. Je uzavretá, radšej drží jazyk za zubami a už ako osemročná musí doma variť a starať sa o malého brata. Jediné potešenie nachádza v pozorovaní hviezd na poli pri dome, až raz pri tom nechtiac spôsobí nehodu – motorkár Kellen v snahe vyhnúť sa dievčatku takmer príde o život. Medzi tínedžerkou Wavy a obrovským potetovaným chlapom a, ako sa ukáže, bývalým kriminálnikom sa nečakane rýchlo vytvorí mocné puto. Pre Wavy je vzťah s Kellenom jediná krásna vec v brutálnom svete narkomanov a zhýralosti. Lenže čo je krásne pre ňu, je neprijateľné pre okolitý svet. A keď po náhlej tragickej smrti Waviných rodičov obvinia Kellena z ich vraždy, zasa putuje do väzenia...

    • A provocative love story between a tough Kansas woman on a crooked path to redemption and her unlikeliest of champions, from the New York Times bestselling author of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. Many things can bind two people: love, a common enemy, a dangerous promise. Zee is nobody's fairy tale princess. Almost six-foot, with a redhead's temper and a shattered hip, she has a long list of worries: never-ending bills, her beautiful, gullible sister, her five-year-old nephew, her housebound mother, and her drug-dealing boss. Zee may not be a princess, but Gentry is an actual knight, complete with sword, armor, and a code of honor. Two years ago the voices he hears called him to be Zee's champion. Both shy and autistic, he's barely spoken to her since, but he has kept watch, ready to come to her aid. When an abduction tears Zee's family apart, she turns to the last person she ever imagined--Gentry--and sets in motion a chain of events that will not only change both of their lives, but bind them to one another forever in one of the most moving and complicated love stories of our time. The Reckless Oath We Made redefines what it means to be heroic, revealing the strength, honor, and power that lie at the heart of love.
