Royal Blue

Friday night lights in Southern Alabama. This second book in the True Blue Trilogy is played out against a landscape painted with the music, muscle cars, and high school culture of the late 1970s-sans disco of course. "This book will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you look around every so often just to make sure you haven't shifted back in time." - T. M. Hunter, creator of the Aston West universe of novels and short stories. "After you read this book, true love will never bloom in red again. It will forever be Royal Blue." - Lee Ann Ward, author of Glimpses of Wilderness and Shadow Lilies. Now a sophomore in high school, Jeana Russell still thinks she'll never find a boy like the men in the novels she loves to read, so when Mickey Royal moves back to Alabama from Washington, Jeana is baffled by her instant attraction to this 3-sport athlete with the bluest eyes she's ever seen. Wade Strickland has gone from the sweet boy Jeana grew up with to the reigning football phenom on the varsity team, setting him on a path to violence with Mickey from their first encounter. Billy Joe DuBose is still Jeana's wise-cracking best friend who also bonds with Mickey-or is he just pretending so he can keep an eye on Jeana? And which boy will be the one to win her heart?
