ONE
WEEK GIRLFRIEND:
Breakout
sensation Monica Murphy takes the New Adult genre by storm with the deeply
emotional, completely addicting story of Drew and Fable.
Temporary. That’s the word I’d use to describe my life right now. I’m temporarily working double shifts—at least until I can break free. I’m temporarily raising my little brother—since apparently our actual mother doesn’t give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend—the flavor of the week for every guy who’s heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.
At least Drew Callahan, college football legend and local golden boy, is upfront about it. He needs someone to play the part of his girlfriend for one week. In exchange for cash. As if that’s not weird enough, ever since he brought me into his world, nothing really makes sense. Everyone hates me. Everyone wants something from him. And yet the only thing Drew seems to want is . . . me.
I don’t know what to believe anymore. Drew is sweet, sexy, and hiding way more secrets than I am. All I know is, I want to be there for him—permanently.

EXCERPT:
The second we walk into the guesthouse, I exhale a huge sigh
of relief, thankful to be out of that stifling house where I grew up. I still
can’t believe how Adele acted toward me, like a jealous girlfriend ready to
sink her claws into Fable. Calling her my little Fable, what the h*ll?
And my dad blatantly checked her out. It made my skin f***ing
crawl and I’m not the one who got the once over. This is far worse than I
thought it would be and I’m embarrassed.
Maybe we should leave. Maybe I should put Fable on a bus and
send her back home so I don’t have to subject her to this any longer. It’s
awful and I don’t want to put her through it. I’ll even let her keep the money.
“Your parents are freaks.”
Her sweet voice insulting the people who raised me shocks me
so much I start to laugh. And once I start, I can’t seem to stop. It feels
good. When had I last laughed like this? I can’t remember.
“Are you laughing because I’m telling the truth, or because
it’s better to laugh than yell at me for knocking your parents?” Fable sounds a
little nervous, but I detect amusement in her tone too.
“You’re brutally honest and I appreciate it,” I finally say
once I find my voice again. “And I agree. They are freaks.”

SECOND
CHANCE BOYFRIEND:
From
breakout New Adult author Monica Murphy comes the exhilarating conclusion to
Drew and Fable’s story—the star-crossed young romance that began in One
Week Girlfriend.
Lost. Everything in my life can be summed up by that one sickening word. My football coach blames me for our season-ending losses. So does the rest of the team. I wasted two whole months drowning in my own despair, like a complete loser. And I lost my girlfriend—Fable Maguire, the only girl who ever mattered—because I was afraid that being with me would only hurt her.
But now I realize that I’m the one who’s truly lost without her. And even though she acts like she’s moved on and everything’s fine, I know she still thinks about me just as much as I think about her. I know her too well. She’s so damn vulnerable, all I want to do is be there to help her . . . to hold her . . . to love her.
I just need her to give me one more chance. We may be lost without each other, but together, we’re destined to find a love that lasts forever.

ABOUT
THREE BROKEN PROMISES:
Breakout New Adult sensation Monica Murphy returns
with a hot new contemporary romance—a heartfelt story of second chances,
forgiveness, and redemption.
Commitment. That’s what I really want from Colin. Ever since my brother, Danny, died in Iraq, Colin’s done so much to help me, including giving me a job at his popular restaurant so I can leave my crappy waitressing job at the strip joint. But lying in bed with him every night to comfort him from his horrible nightmares isn’t enough anymore. I know he feels guilty about Danny’s death, about not going to Iraq, but I can’t keep living this double life.
I love him desperately, but he’s got so many demons, and if he can’t open up to me now, then he’ll never be the real partner I need him to be. I gave him a month, and now I’m out of here. If he truly loves me like he says, he knows where to find me.

ABOUT
DREW + FABLE FOREVER Novella (Releases January 14th-Just
$.99 right now!):
Monica
Murphy returns with her most beloved characters, Drew and Fable, in this eBook
original short story that brings her bestselling New Adult series full circle.
Fantasy. How I ended up with NFL player Drew Callahan,
the guy every woman wants, is beyond my wildest dreams. All I know is that once
he chose me as his one and only, I sure wasn’t looking back. I had past wounds and
he showed patience and concern—even accepting responsibility for my messed-up
kid brother. Now, yet again, he's found a way to blow my mind: an exotic
wedding and honeymoon miles and miles away from home. What else could a girl
ever ask for?
Reality. Except now the honeymoon’s over. Drew's
football schedule takes him on the road constantly, while I need to stay put
and look after my brother until he finishes high school—because God knows our
sorry excuse for a mother won’t. I know Drew loves me with all his heart, and
I’ll always be over the moon about him. This just isn’t how I imagined life as
newlyweds . . . dealing with the distance, missing him constantly. But we’ve
gone through hard times before. We can get through this, too, right? We’re Drew
and Fable, together forever. At least I hope so. . . .

FOUR
YEARS LATER (Releases February 25, 2014):
New
Adult bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up her sensational series with
this sexy story of two college kids with nothing in common but a bunch of
baggage and a burning attraction.
Over. That about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my college football team and forced to cut back my hours at The District bar because of my crappy grades, I can’t keep turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can’t seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and it’s messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a look at her.
Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed up guy like me?
