Juliette always believed love would be enough. She stood by Caleb through everything-loss, war, betrayal. She was there before his name carried weight, before his power took form. She thought that meant something. That fate had to see her. That he would, too. But when the Moon Goddess marked someone else as his mate-a soft, sweet girl with stars in her smile-Juliette was left behind. Unchosen. Unwanted. Unmated. Her wolf howls at her, begs her to let go. To seek the mate who's out there waiting. To stop chasing a man whose heart already belongs to someone else. But Juliette refuses. Because she knows she loves him deeper than anyone ever could. And she would rather burn for him than feel something for someone new. Even if it means destroying herself in the process. Even if it means becoming the villain in someone else's love story. She'd rather be broken than forgotten.

Just when Aurora is finally taking control of her own life, everything seems to be falling into chaos. She leaves behind all that she's ever known to take a chance at life in an entirely new place. But America is nothing like England, and its inhabitants even more so. Trusting her brother to help her adapt, Aurora accepts his offer to stay with him and some of his teammates. Seven of them to be exact. She quickly comes to realize that her comfort-zone doesn't exist here, and everything is big, scary, and intimidating. Just like her brother's best friend. Maddox is Aurora's polar opposite, which explains the magnetic pull that he seems to feel for her. He knows that he's bad for her, that the bad in his life will only taint her purity, like a drop of ink in water. Maddox doesn't know what to think about the new girl, but he does know that he thinks about her way too much. He knows that he can't sit by while she struggles, and life in Greenville is sink or swim. Aurora's been thrown into the deep-end without a life preserver and the only thing keeping her from drowning is a tattooed hand reaching out to help her.

Sleeping at the office. The distance... the way his eyes could no longer hold mine. Lipstick stains where they didn't belong. Unfamiliar scents clinging to a man who should only ever smell like him and me. 𝘏𝘪𝘮 & 𝘮𝘦. But when a third person enters your marriage... there's nothing left to save.

That is until one message, one lie, and finally, one confession brought everything I thought I knew crashing down around me. While I'm picking up the pieces of my shattered life, Carter starts popping up all over the place, acting like the man I always thought I knew. I desperately try to hold onto the logic of leaving him, but soon, I learn that everything is not as it seems.

I wish I could take it all back, but I can't. Now I have to live with the consequences and let her go...or I can do everything in my power to win her back. Personally, I've never been a fan of consequences. **** An extra angsty, sometimes humorous, small town romance about two imperfect people who might just be perfect for each other.

Marietta's world shatters the night her husband and her best friend die in the same car , together, at midnight, on a road neither belonged on. The whispers start immediately. The evidence isn't far behind. Left with more questions than memories, Marietta and Isaiah are pulled together by the one truth they can't escape: the people they loved were hiding something. Something that looks a lot like betrayal. As they search for answers, grief turns into connection... and connection into something dangerously close to love. But the deeper they fall, the more the past warns them: Some secrets didn't die in that crash. And an unexpected turn of events.

I hate secrets. And I hate drama. But somehow, I stumbled into relationships with two girls, each one hiding something big from me. Bree is beautiful and fit. Captain of the cheerleaders and homecoming queen. She's every guy's dream, every guy but me that is. I didn't really intend to date her, but things just have a way of taking on a life of their own. Then there's Peyton, who drives me crazy. She's a teammate, for God's sake. A football player with a shaved head who disguised herself as a dude to make varsity. She's tough and independent, a smartass with a big chip on her shoulder. But she's more than that--her beauty is wild and untamed. She glows electric, and I'm drawn to that electricity like lightning to a rod. So, I find myself in a bit of a bind--a love triangle with a cheerleader and a football player--and I have a feeling that their secrets just might alter the course of my life forever.
