Pepped Up & Wilder is now available! (This is the sixth book in the best-selling YA/NA crossover series that should be read in order.)
Pepper:
The best part of a happy ending... finding out it's actually just the beginning. Having someone promise to be by your side, to chase dreams with, whisper troubles to, it's more than I could have imagined.
But after three seasons of Jace playing pro ball in Ohio, three long seasons, with him on the road, and me training all over the world, I’m questioning if we can really have it all. Harsh criticism of our relationship is all too familiar and uncovers old wounds. I only ever wanted to run and to be with Jace, and finding the perfect balance proves to be my greatest trial yet.
We vowed not to let our love deter each other's athletic goals, but I miss him. I miss us.
Jace:
The demands of our careers have us running in opposite directions, when we should be putting down roots, together. But escalating fame and an overbearing agent have me fumbling everything I hold dear, including Pepper.
After years of dedication and sacrifice, I'm finally in a position to trade to my hometown team. Moving back to Colorado could be the answer to all our problems, but just when I think we're finally on the right track, we're sacked with news that turns everything upside down. News that rattles me and sends Pepper into a tailspin. It's time for me to remind the girl that I fell in love with how to fight.
Until she's ready, I'll fight hard enough for the both of us. For better or for worse.
Get it now!

What readers are saying about Pepped Up & Wilder:
Once again, Ali Dean proves that she is the best female sports writer out there and I cannot wait to see what’s next. – Angie, Goodreads review
If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! I LOVE this book for so many reasons, I will try to list a few. #1 It is written with a complexity that truly astounds me. Ms. Dean can weave a story with a strong, sports oriented female lead, like no other, but the maturity she gives Pepper in this last book is lovely to read… – Reyne, Goodreads review.
I’ve reread this series so many times and I adore Ali Dean for giving us this book. – Jessica, Goodreads review.
I devoured this entire series in less than a week, and I am both happy and sad that I finished the Pepper series today. Happy because I enjoyed it so much, and sad to leave such wonderful characters behind. This is definitely a series I will re-read many times in the future. These books are all "keepers"! -Kate, Amazon top 100 reviewer
Ali Dean sure did take us on an emotional roller coaster on this one. I felt almost every single emotion in this one. The writing is amazing and the story line even better. I fell in love with Jace and Pepper and their love story all over again. – Caitlin, Goodreads review
Pepper never fails to inspire me, but in this book she shines. Her confidence, vulnerability, strength, and love comes together in a way that shows she is comfortable with herself, flaws and all. In particular, her racing scenes really explore the depth of her resilience…. I'll say this, Pepped Up and Wilder will make you cry all kinds of tears, and you'll be thanking Ali Dean by the end. – Danielle, Goodreads review
This book is a great ending to one of my favorite series. I think I have read it 5 times and will probably read it a few dozen more. – Amazon review
