𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 - Book #1 ✦If it's not me, then there's no one, Tigress.✦ Evangeline Laurent thought she had escaped the past. She built a new life, away from the shadows of her broken marriage. But when fate forces her back into Zayne Lancaster's world-the ruthless billionaire CEO who once owned her heart. She realizes some cages aren't meant to be broken. Zayne never forgot the woman who walked away. He let her go once, but when circumstances bring her back into his orbit, he's determined to keep her there. This time, there's no escape. Not when their past is unfinished, not when the fire between them still burns. A marriage that ended in heartbreak. A love that refuses to die. He wants a second chance. She swears she won't make the same mistake twice. But in a game of power, passion, and undeniable temptation... Who will surrender first?

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.
