title: Tripped Up
author: Kaye, Jeannie
description: Can two broken souls find wholeness together?
   When her pop star boyfriend is caught with her best friend, Castle kicks him to the curb. Leaving the indie music world, her bad reputation, and her Hollywood lifestyle behind, she swears off relationships forever.
   But Castle is twenty-two years old, flat broke, in foreclosure, all alone and has no plan for the future. With reluctance, she turns to her estranged family for a loan. What she doesn’t expect is to run into her childhood sweetheart, Trip Dunnavin.
   Too bad she’s done with relationships. Too bad he’s done with flings.
   Trip Dunnavin has never loved anyone but the man in the mirror. But now his violent temper and serial womanizing have cost him everything - his fiancé, money, power and status. At the insistence of his lifelong friend Ella Riverwood, he escapes his crumbling Dallas life and moves to California to face his demons and make a new start. Ella has only two rules: No one-night stands and stay far away from her little sister, Castle.
   Yet, how on earth can he behave when that beautiful savage from his past acts as a continual temptation? Might this wild creature be the very woman to finally tame Trip Dunnavin?
   Never before has anyone made Trip want to be a better man than this somewhat violent, always surprising, sharp tongued, wild child that seems immune to his charms.
   He's determined to win her trust and then her heart.
   But sometimes wounds from the past wield a destructive force on the present. And when mysteries and dark family secrets come to light, both Trip and Castle may find themselves tripped up by the truth.
