Her brother's best friend broke her heart, but what happens when his new teammate wants to put it back together?
Arianna Johnson has been dreaming of what college life might bring, and it's finally coming over the horizon as she and her friends plan one last beachside summer together. So much has changed over the years, but there's always been one constant. The boy her heart returns to no matter where her imagination runs: her brother's best friend, Chase.
This is the summer she'll finally tell him how she feels. That it's him. It's always been him.
Until suddenly, it isn't.
Ari's heart is in splinters when she meets star quarterback Noah Riley. His friendship is exactly what she needs after Chase's rejection, but from the start, Noah wants more. Even when their path is blurry, even when tragedy strikes, even when Ari doesn't know her own heart, Noah will fight for the feelings he knows they both have…no matter what it might cost them.
They say first love lasts forever. Ari is about to find out if that's really true.

Is this book appropriate to gift to a younger adult reader?
Say You Swear is a new adult romance intended for adult readers, so it is best suited as a gift for readers aged 18 and up who are comfortable with mature romance themes.
How does this compare to gifting a single romance novel versus a book box subscription?
A single paperback is more affordable and personal than a subscription box, and it lets the recipient dive straight into a popular series rather than waiting for curated monthly deliveries. It is a stronger choice when you already know the recipient enjoys Meagan Brandy or sports romance.
Is this a better gift than a generic bestseller romance paperback?
For readers who collect series, a first-in-series book offers ongoing engagement and community, making it a more meaningful gift than a standalone novel. The Boys of Avix series also has a strong fanbase that the recipient can join from day one.
What if the recipient has already read this book?
Because Say You Swear is a popular series starter, there is a chance the recipient has read it. To avoid duplication, you can pair it with the second book in the series or a related Meagan Brandy title as a backup gift.
Does the book feel cheap or low quality as a gift?
No. It is published in a standard trade paperback format with a novel-length page count, which is the most common and gift-appropriate format for romance fiction paperbacks.
Is the price reasonable for a gift purchase?
Yes. The paperback is affordably priced, which makes it a low-risk gift option and an easy add-on to a larger gift bundle or care package.
How should I store and care for my paperback copy?
Store your paperback upright on a dry shelf away from direct sunlight and humidity. Use a bookmark instead of folding pages, and avoid placing heavy items on top to prevent spine creasing.
Can I read this book on my Kindle or other e-reader?
Yes, the title is typically available in both print paperback and digital e-book formats, so you can read it on Kindle, Kobo, or other e-reader apps if you prefer digital reading.
How long does it take to finish reading Say You Swear?
Most readers finish the book in a few sittings, with average reading times ranging from several days to a couple of weeks depending on how frequently you read per day.
Is this book part of a series and what should I read next?
Yes. Say You Swear is Book 1 in the Boys of Avix series by Meagan Brandy. After finishing, readers typically continue with the subsequent Boys of Avix releases in series order.

What comes in the box when I order the paperback?
Your order includes the print paperback copy of Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy. No additional accessories, bookmarks, or inserts are included, so any extras like a bookmark or sleeve can be purchased separately.
Is this book safe and appropriate for general adult readers?
The book is a new adult contemporary romance intended for readers 18 and older. It contains mature romantic themes consistent with the college sports romance genre, so it is best suited for adult audiences.
Will the book arrive in good condition without damage?
Yes. Paperbacks are shipped in protective packaging to minimize corner dings and spine damage during transit, and any shipping issues are typically covered by the retailer's standard return policy.
How is a sports romance novel different from a general contemporary romance?
Sports romance is a subgenre of contemporary romance centered on athletes, team dynamics, and competitive settings, often featuring college or professional sports backdrops.
