*~*Love Note: Alec to Taren – The Pledge by Laura Ward & Christine Manzari*~*
Taren needs a do-over. She’s decided the best way to put the high school bullies behind her is to pledge a Taylor-Swift-lip-syncing, beer-guzzling, sorority. Sisterhood helps Taren find the acceptance she’s always craved, but not the love she needs.
Alec wants freedom. To escape his father’s iron fist and unrealistic expectations, he pledges a campus acrobatics club where he finds that drugs and alcohol aren’t the only ways to get high. His addiction to danger helps him gain his independence, but it comes at a heavy price.
When the two cross paths, Alec fears his undeniable attraction to the party girl just might threaten everything he’s worked so hard to earn. Taren hasn’t forgotten that Alec humiliated her back in high school, but she also can’t deny the chemistry they share.
Alec and Taren have nothing in common, but fate is bound and determined to bring them together. They know falling in love is a risk, and yet it’s too hard to ignore. When their worlds clash and they both end up suffering, will they fight to stay together? Or are some pledges too hard to keep?
Alec is so incredibly sweet…

Taren,
Fate brought us together over and over again until I realized falling for you was never a choice. It was destiny. We’re bound by a love that’s stronger than anything life can throw at us. No matter how tangled things get, no matter how twisted the future might be, you will always be my yes. You’re my high ace and I’m all in. I pledge myself to us. Always.
Happy Valentine’s Day. I love you. I love us.
Alec
