Eva Graham is a guarded, no-nonsense social science major who studies human behavior to understand why people leave-and how to make sure she never lets the wrong ones in. She keeps to herself, avoids drama, and especially avoids campus athletes, whom she considers walking red flags. Cole Grayson is a third-year psychology major, a cocky ice hockey star with a grin that disarms and a fanbase full of puck bunnies. While everyone sees him coasting, Cole's under constant pressure-trying to go pro, balancing school, and keeping up a charming front to hide just how much he's cracking underneath. When Cole starts slipping in class, he's assigned a tutor: Eva. Neither is thrilled. She thinks he's a loud, lazy distraction. He calls her "Teach" just to get under her skin-she responds by calling him "Skates," with just the right amount of disdain. What begins as bickering soon turns into banter... then something softer. The nicknames stick, becoming a quiet thread that ties them together as friends-and maybe more. Cole falls first. Hard. Eva, scared of being hurt and shaped by people who've left before, fights it. Still, she agrees to go to one of his games-just once. But seeing him on the ice, in his world, adored yet somehow still alone, shifts everything. Then the bet surfaces. A stupid, careless thing made before he really knew her-and it threatens to destroy everything they've built. Surrounded by puck bunnies stirring drama, teammates with their own loyalties, and a past Eva isn't ready to share, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Between jealousy, late-night confessions, and moments where one look says everything, Eva and Cole must decide: is love worth risking it all-even if it started with a bet, a nickname, and everything going wrong?

Ocean Park is the local dead mall where Aqua Moore is doomed to spend her summer vacation. She thinks she's going there to model for the local boutique owners, but behind all of the retro interior and sleepy department stores, there are a few details that seem to defy the laws of physics. Like whole rooms of merchandise disappearing overnight. Or the sound of what could only be a pod of killer whales moving through the walls. Aqua finds all of this superstition pretty funny until the day a customer shows up dead. Suddenly no one is laughing and the phantoms in the walls don't seem all that strange. Things get complicated when it turns out the person who found the body is the same boy that Aqua is crushing on, Sean Mori. Somehow Sean knew the exact time, date, and location of the victim's death before it all even happened. Aqua wants to believe that Sean isn't the murdering type, but things are starting to get a little too weird too fast. The more time she spends with Sean, the more she understands the burden he's been forced to bear. And the ghosts that haunt the mall begin to take on a new meaning. *content warnings: graphic death and light gore*

Cover by: @Enny101 Christian DeLuca is a very successful businessman with little regard for anyone he doesn't consider family, he's found work and life easier this way. What happens when he finds himself consumed by one thing, or rather one person, Alesha Moore. His plans are to get her, keep her and never let her find out about his title as a kingpin in the Italian mafia. *** "Alesha, where do you think you're going?" he asked in a deep and unsettling tone. "I just saw you commit mass murder Christian. I can't be a part of this world, your world. I'm not built for this life, if this is who you are then.." I let out a humorless chuckle. "I couldn't stomach today let alone the rest of my life. I need to leave, and you need to let me." My voice was so low, even breaking toward the end. Each word provoked tears to spill from my eyes and even more came rushing when I could see how what I said must've felt like daggers to his chest. "You can either stay and talk to me or calm down outside and we'll talk when you're ready, but you are NOT leaving me." His once sexy, endearing voice turned cold and sent frightening shivers throughout my body and I don't know who was staring back at me, but I could no longer see my Christian, not the man I love. *** This book contains mature language AND images, if you find that unsettling, I promise this is not the book for you 😬

"Such horrible manners, and in the presence of his greatness" I heard someone say. I was mad between being captures, threatened, drugged and manhandled I had about enough. "I don't give a fuck that I am in the presence of his greatness these guards are brutes" I yell. An eerie hush fell over the room as all the hair on my arms started to raise. "Bring it to me!" a deep calm voice commanded.

He's the shy one. She's the quiet one. But only one of them knows what they're doing. A late night grocery run turns into a awkward moment. And a stare that says, "Relax. I got you."
