Heartache and Hope, the first book in Jay McLean’s Heartache Duet is now live
and available in Kindle Unlimited.
Ava Diaz needs saving.
She just doesn’t know it yet.
Just like she doesn’t know a thing about the boy she sits next to on the first day of senior year.
He thinks she’s a brat.
She thinks he’s entitled.
Maybe first impressions don’t always last…
Because Connor Ledger’s about to save her.
He just doesn’t know why.

They look like fireflies. The way the water falls from the sky, illuminated only by the streetlamps.
I stand in the middle of the road, barefoot and barely breathing, my arms out, face to the sky.
I don’t know how I got here.
When I climbed out of my window, the sun was just setting and now… now I’m surrounded by
dark skies and false hope.
I know I should go home.
That I should face my fears and tackle them head-on.
My mind travels the right roads at the right time to get me there, but my heart…
My heart takes me to Connor.
Outside his bedroom window, mud seeps between my toes, and the frigid air creates
goosebumps along my skin. I raise my fist and tap, tap, tap on the glass.
A moment later, a light turns on. And then nothing. I tap again, my heart racing.
The blind lifts and Connor appears, his eyes squinting. It’s clear he’d been asleep, or close to it.
Hair a mess, he’s shirtless, the obvious beginnings of bruises mar parts of his torso, and I look down,
shame filling every part of me. I bite down on my lip as he slides the window up. “Jesus Christ, Ava.
What the hell are you doing?”
His warm palms meet my soaking wet elbows, and then his entire body is cocooning mine,
lifting me off my feet and into his bedroom. My feet land on his soft carpet, and I look down at the mess I’ve made.
“I’m dirty,” I tell him.
Inside and out.
Dirty, dazed and damaged.
Heartache and Hope is the first title in the Heartache Duet.
Jay McLean has yet to write a book that I haven't loved, and she crafts characters that are so realistic yet flawed. Ava and Connor's story is a raw, angsty and emotional slow burn romance. It will make you feel, it's both heartwarming and heartbreaking and made me cry at the injustices of the world.
Life isn't fair, bad things happen to good people, and it's how we deal with it that defines us as human beings. Ava Diaz gave up life as she knew it in the name of love. She's stong, resiliant and has a huge giving heart.
Connor is an athelete, the new guy who has skills on the basketball court, but has a lot less than most of his wealthy peers. He's a fighter, determined and driven to succeed and his sole focus was on getting to the NBA until he saw Ava.
As much as this title wrenched my heart out, I cannot wait for more of this pair and will be eagerly awaiting the release of First and Forever.
