But it's worse—he was almost engaged to my brother's wife—which makes him public enemy number one. Our families hate each other. No one can know what we did. If any of my four older brothers find out, they will run him out of town. And still…I want him.

“Why are you all so pretty?” It all started when I was six years old. I was homeless. They were held prisoner. I saved them. Even though it put me in the system. They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma. These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the world. As much as I wished I could feel the same. I couldn’t. These boys–men–had too much anger. Too much hate. They wanted to burn down anything and everyone who had wronged them. It was eating them up inside. I tried to warn them. Instead of listening to me, they were set on destroying themselves. And me in the process. Baylor Torryn Gray is bold, brash, and has a reputation that rivals even mine. She should be terrifying, but I’m only intrigued, captivated by the way she doesn’t need to be the center of attention. Coming off a season where my past exploits haunted me, I’ve vowed to be more careful about who I let into my bed. Someone who won’t distract me. Who won’t attempt to manipulate or take advantage. Someone like Torryn, who isn’t easily impressed. Who doesn’t care about falling in love or what I can do with a puck. All I have to do is convince her I’m more than capable of giving her what she needs. Hint–it starts with o and ends with her screaming my name.I guess it’s a good thing I’m well known for my talent but even better known for what I can do on a mattress. Torryn There are three things that are important to me My family My best friend My future If it doesn’t help me protect or serve those things, I don’t have time or energy for it. I’ve barely managed to find time for fleeting moments of pleasure. But even those hookups are starting to feel like more effort than their worth. Until my best friend drags me to a hockey house and I meet Baylor Levine. Charming, outgoing, and playful, he’s convinced he can give me exactly what I need–all the rewards and none of the risks. It’s all fun and games and twisted bedsheets until an unknown player enters the arena, making demands and following them with threats. As my stalker grows bolder, Baylor grows more and more protective. We grow closer until even our friends are starting to look at us sideways. But haven’t they ever heard of friends with benefits before? TropesHockey RomanceForced ProximityFriends with BenefitsIdiots to Lovers After twenty years, the cracks in Lauren Reed’s marriage are showing. She and her husband, Jack, feel more like roommates than a loving couple. What they have in common are two wonderful teenagers, Michael and Maddie, and the same wistful question: When did it all go wrong? Now that Lauren’s decided to get on with her life—alone—divorce is inevitable. Not to the kids. They aren’t giving up so easily. Michael and Maddie have conspired with their grandfather to bring everyone together for a vacation in the family’s favorite summer getaway, a rustic lakeside cabin in Story Brook, Ohio. Awkward? Yep. A little deceptive? Sure. But as far as traps go, Lauren and Jack agree—the meddlers couldn’t have set one that was more scenic or filled with so many bittersweet memories. This trip is going to be life-changing for the whole family. Fourteen days of hope, heartbreak, and unexpected possibilities—like maybe falling in love all over again. PLEASE AVOID THE BLURB FOR THIS BOOK. This story will hurt you a lot less if you scroll by and go in BLIND, trust me… But if you *have* to know what you're getting into, you can read the synopsis below. I should've known better. I should've left her alone… She told me she was twenty-one. I found out that was a lie. There was over a decade between us, and sure, she was mature for her age, but I kept my distance every chance I could. At least, I tried to. There aren’t too many places to hide on a boarding school's campus, and there are far more places to get caught… I never intended for this to happen. I was her English professor, and she was only supposed to be my student. See? That’s why you shouldn’t have read this blurb and went in blind. Alas, this is an emotional ride of a romance with toxic undertones that will drive you to some unexpected places. The author just felt like writing this story one day, so don't say you weren't warned about what you were getting into. Six weeks. Thirty-five cities. One more chance to get it right. Noah McCallister. Extreme athlete. Habitual heartbreaker. The only boy I’ve ever loved. We’re a tragedy. A beautiful melody with dissonant chords. A soaring ballad of heartache, enduring love, and lost youth. Once upon a time, he was my everything. My once in a lifetime. My past and my future. The white knight who balanced my entire world on the palm of his hand. Until I lost him. Now I’m out there reaching for the stars while he’s off chasing his next adrenaline rush. Cliff diving, rappelling down waterfalls, skydiving… you name it he’s done it. I’m convinced there’s nothing Noah can’t do. Except for one. He can’t quit. As his appetite for risk grows more insatiable, I begin to worry that he’s on a quest to cheat death. Losing him is inconceivable. So I make him an offer he can’t refuse—join me for the final leg of my world tour as the official videographer. He only agrees because he thinks I need him. But he’s wrong. Six years ago, Noah saved my life… and now it’s my turn to save him. From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel. When I finally get a life-saving kidney transplant, I think the worst is behind me. Boy, am I wrong. I start feeling eyes on me wherever I go. I’m being watched. Stalked. Hunted.
