I Saw Him First The day Scott McCall came to school after being bitten by a werewolf was supposed to be normal. At least as normal as Beacon Hills ever gets. Then Stiles Stilinski sees her. One look. One smile. One heartbeat. And suddenly Lydia Martin isn't the center of his universe anymore. Amara Johnson is. Rich, powerful, beautiful, and carrying secrets older than Beacon Hills itself, Amara belongs to a supernatural race known as the Aetheri-rare beings capable of controlling the elements and moving the world with a single thought. The moment she sees Stiles Stilinski, she knows exactly who he is. Her mate. Her forever. Her person. While Scott struggles with his new life as a werewolf and Beacon Hills becomes a magnet for supernatural chaos, Amara and Stiles find themselves building something neither of them expected. A home. A family. A love powerful enough to withstand hunters, alphas, kanimas, nogitsunes, and everything else the town throws at them. The only problem? Anyone who threatens Stiles quickly learns a terrifying lesson: Amara Johnson is sweet. Until someone hurts her boy. Then all bets are off. And if anyone asks why she's always defending him? The answer is simple. She saw him first.

At Briar University, junior Brooklyn "Brooke" Danvers is physics-defying trouble in a 5'3" package. Known as the girl who routinely levels guys twice her size, Brooke fights to ensure no one can ever hurt her-or her best friend Allie-again, guarding a dark, traumatic past of survival and abuse that she shares with no one. But when her fierce protectiveness catches the attention of Briar's four elite hockey stars-charismatic Logan, guarded captain Garrett, devoted playboy Dean, and nurturing Tucker-the ultimate campus gods become utterly obsessed with her safety. Realizing Brooke is used to being everyone else's shield, the four fiercely loyal roommates make it their collective mission to step in front of her punches, breakdown her iron walls, and prove that she finally has a safe place to lay down her weapons.

Parker Graham knows three things for certain: her twin brother Garrett would do anything to protect her, the Briar hockey house is basically her second home, and Dean Di Laurentis is the last guy she should ever fall for. So what happens when she does?

After a toxic relationship leaves Scarlett Graham's life at St. Anthony's in ruins, she transfers mid-semester to Briar University, hoping distance will help her forget everything she left behind. But with her dorm situation delayed, she ends up temporarily living in the one place guaranteed to destroy her sanity: the Briar hockey house. Which means living with her overprotective older brother, Garrett Graham, and his teammates. Including Dean Di Laurentis. Dean is exactly the kind of guy Scarlett promised herself she would stay away from. Cocky, charming, reckless, and completely incapable of taking anything seriously for more than five minutes. Garrett makes the rules very clear the second she moves in. Hands off his sister. And Dean fully intends to follow that rule. At least until he accidentally walks into Garrett's room and finds Scarlett changing. After that, staying away from her becomes a whole lot harder than he expected. Especially when Scarlett starts slipping past his defenses just as fast as he's slipping past hers. Now Dean can't stop noticing the little things. The way she hides inside oversized sweatshirts. The way she apologizes for everything. The way her smiles never quite reach her eyes anymore. And Scarlett can't stop noticing that beneath Dean's player reputation is someone far more dangerous than she expected: a man who makes her feel safe enough to let her guard down. But secrets have a way of following you. And when Scarlett's past finally catches up with her, Dean has to decide how far he's willing to go for the girl he was never supposed to touch in the first place.
