Hudson Brennan has spent his entire life chasing one thing: the NHL. Kenzie knows better than to get caught in the middle of someone else's dream. She's seen what happens when love comes second to ambition, and hockey players are exactly the kind of complication she swore she'd avoid. But Hudson makes it difficult to keep her distance. He sees through every wall she puts up, turning quiet moments into something dangerous - something real. For the first time in a long time, Kenzie starts to believe she might actually matter to someone. Then everything falls apart. With Hudson's future slipping through his fingers and their relationship hanging on by a thread, Kenzie has to decide whether protecting herself is worth losing the person who suddenly means everything. Because some love stories don't fade quietly. They burn bright right up until the lights go out. __________________ Book #1 of the NRU- series.

Animosity between Humans and Faeriekind has long plagued the lands of Orphic, but began to fade in recent years. However, the newfound peace between species balances on a very thin thread which may soon break. With the emergence of a group known as Ironblades, Faeriekind is once again in danger. These Humans will stop at nothing to see all Faeries, and anyone born of Faerie blood, burnt to ash. Kalian Deirdre may be his people's last hope. It is up to him to infiltrate an Ironblade unit and uncover the true nature of their plot against Faeries before it's too late, but that will prove difficult. Moira Lev is an Ironblade Commander and well known for her hatred towards Faeries. Getting close to her won't be an easy task, and remaining undiscovered will be even harder. Regardless of the risks, Kalian is determined to succeed. He has to, or it will mean the extinction of his species as a whole.
