Title: The Pledge
Author: Laura Ward & Christine Manzari
Age: NA
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release date: July 27, 2015
Taren needs a do-over. She’s decided the best way to put the high
school bullies behind her is to pledge a Taylor-Swift-lip-syncing,
beer-guzzling, sorority. Sisterhood helps Taren find the acceptance she’s
always craved, but not the love she needs.
Alec wants freedom. To escape his father’s iron fist and
unrealistic expectations, he pledges a campus acrobatics club where he
finds that drugs and alcohol aren't the only ways to get high. His
addiction to danger helps him gain his independence, but it comes at a heavy
price.
When the two cross paths, Alec fears his undeniable attraction to
the party girl just might threaten everything he's worked so hard to earn.
Taren hasn’t forgotten that Alec humiliated her back in high school, but
she also can't deny the chemistry they share.
Alec and Taren have nothing in common, but fate is bound and
determined to bring them together. They know falling in love is a risk,
and yet it’s too hard to ignore. When their worlds clash and they both end
up suffering, will they fight to stay together? Or are some pledges
too hard to keep?
Laura Ward lives in Maryland with her loud and very loving three children and husband. She married her college sweetheart and is endlessly grateful for the support he has given her through all their years together, and especially toward her goal of writing books. When not changing diapers, driving to lacrosse practice, or checking spelling homework, Laura is writing or reading romance novels.
The first thing Christine does when she's getting ready to read a book is to crack the spine in at least five places. She wholeheartedly believes there is no place as comfy as the pages of a well-worn book. She's addicted to buying books, reading books, and writing books. Books, books, books. She also has a weakness for adventure, inappropriate humor, and coke (the caffeine-laden bubbly kind). Christine is from Forest Hill, Maryland where she lives with her husband, three kids, and her library of ugly spine books.
