Welcome to Book Two in this new series by a USA Today best-selling author! COUNTDOWN: ETHAN is a full-length, stand-alone novel in a brand new contemporary romance series, where every chapter is an hour in the countdown to find answers before it's too late...

Tired of waiting for her boyfriend to commit, Dakota James travels 1000 miles to visit her best friend in Memphis. The only problem? She’s taken a piece of electronic evidence that connects her ex to a felony -- and he’s tailing her to get it back.

Sports reporter Ethan Meriweather avoids romantic connections at all costs. When his friends convince him to go partying on Beale Street, he has plans for an early night. But all that changes when he meets Dakota.

As the evening unfolds, small talk turns to hopes, dreams, shared loss, and white-hot attraction. But when Dakota’s violent ex-boyfriend shows up, she and Ethan will have to make a decision, and take a stand, that could change both their lives forever.
