Lyric Brown is a Bronx-born hurricane-part bartender, part artist, all heart. In LA, she craves more than survival; she wants to feel alive. Vanilla, acrylic paint, and stubborn hope cling to her skin like second nature. She doesn't follow rules, and she definitely doesn't follow men. But Diego Romierz isn't just any man. Diego lives in shadows-quiet power wrapped in Cuban silk and cold smoke. He built his empire on secrets and fists, never letting anyone close enough to see the scars underneath. Lyric was supposed to be a distraction. A risk he could control. One night, one broken rule, and a missed period later, they're both pulled into something neither of them knows how to hold. Love. Trust. A heartbeat on a screen. And for two people who've only ever known how to fight, family might be the hardest battle yet.

Book 1 of 3 UNEDITED. She's learning to trust. He's learning to love. Together, they're learning the rules don't matter. Lindsey has spent two years in hiding after her best friend and boyfriend's ultimate betrayal. Now she's ready to start fresh-to trust again, to take her life back. Love? That's off the table. Until her brother's teammate and captain skates into her world, making her question everything. Chase has been hockey's golden playboy for five years, but the game has lost its thrill. He's craving something real, something deeper than puck bunnies who only see his jersey. Just when he's about to give up, he meets Lindsey-his best friend's fiercely guarded little sister. She's everything he never knew he wanted, and absolutely everything he can't have. When sparks fly between the off-limits sister and the reformed playboy, both must decide: Is love worth risking everything? Or will the ghosts of their pasts destroy their chance at forever?

Cecilia Adams. An 18 year old sarcasm extraodinaire. Her life had always been sheltered and boring; family, school, and books. Lots and lots of books. Now that she's been accepted into her dream college, she hopes that her life will change and become more....exciting, perhaps. But how much of her life will change when a mesmerizing green-eyed boy with a seemingly innocent past crashes into her life unexpectedly? ... "What...what are they going to do to me?" I ask quietly. "Nothing. I promise you that I will not let anything happen to you, over my dead body will I let those assholes touch you." He presses his forehead against mine. "I love you." "I love you too. I trust you."
