Gabriella Graham has spent years keeping hockey at arm's length. Being the twin sister of Garrett Graham makes that almost impossible. She knows the players, the parties, and the reputation that follows them-especially Dean Di Laurentis. Arrogant, relentless, and entirely too aware of how attractive he is, Dean is exactly the kind of person Gabby has no interest in getting close to. And the feeling is mutual. At least, that's what they tell themselves. What begins with arguments, unwanted encounters, and Dean's irritating determination to get under her skin slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen moments, and seeing sides of each other no one else gets to see, the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to disappear. Because Dean isn't supposed to want his best friend's twin sister. Gabby definitely isn't supposed to want him back. And with Garrett completely unaware of what's growing between them, every touch has to be hidden, every look has to mean nothing, and every moment together comes with the risk of someone finally putting the pieces together. But secrets have a way of coming out. And some ties were forbidden for a reason. He was the one person she was never supposed to fall for. Unfortunately, nobody told her heart that.

Kahlani never meant to fall for Mateo, the Hispanic football star who only dates within his race. She was never supposed to matter. Just the best friend in the background. The secret. The girl he reaches for in the dark and ignores in public. One night changes everything. She gives him her first time. He gives her lies, broken promises, and just enough attention to keep her coming back. Every. Single. Time. Even after he hurts her, even after he chooses someone else, she always returns. Because loving Mateo is an addiction disguised as romance and she's hooked. Ever wondered what it's like to be the other woman? To crave someone who will never truly be yours? To stay, knowing you're not the priority, but hoping he'll eventually change? This isn't a love story. It's obsession, manipulation, and destruction wrapped up in desire. Secrets this ugly never stay buried, and when they surface, someone's heart won't survive. 🚨Fair warning: this is not your typical cute, lovey-dovey romance. This story is raw, messy, toxic and emotionally intense. You'll laugh, cry, get angry, feel hope, and feel heartbreak. So please read at your own discretion. With that being said... let's dive in. I hope you enjoy every twisted moment.🚨
