Next to Never

By Penelope Douglas
Next to Never by Penelope Douglas digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas introduces Quinn, younger sister to Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon, in this captivating novella in the Fall Away series.

Quinn Caruthers has several problems: her father, Jason, and her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon. Under the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings—or even date—without them jumping in to hover. And when a family friend—several years older—from her childhood captures her heart, she knows they’re going to be a problem.

Lucas Morrow is a man—experienced, sophisticated, and important. And knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden. But Lucas left town years ago and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn’t wait for him anymore.     

Then a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn Quinn’s world upside down. She’s never asked about the tumultuous path of her parents’ romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start.  

As she begins to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she’ll keep waiting…or finally go after what she really wants.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I haven’t TYPED a review for a single book in this series. I’m just not good at articulating a summary. HOWEVER. I had to for this one. Hands down one of my favorites in the series simply because I love the book within a book thing. It was different having the two stories progress together. I can’t wait to read the hellbent series! I didn’t realize it was a continuation of this generation.”
