I thought knights in shining armour were for fairytales... until one hockey player made me believe otherwise. • • • She was promised to someone else. He promised himself he'd never cross the line. Madden knows better than to want the coach's daughter - especially when she's engaged to another man, polished and charming, the kind everyone admires. But he also knows when something isn't right. And he sees what she can't: the subtle control, the quiet manipulations, the too tight smile. So he becomes her safe place. Her anchor. No demands. No expectations. Just quiet, steady devotion. Selena never expected freedom to feel this gentle... or love to feel this patient. She thought she had to survive alone. She thought desire always came with risk. But with Madden, safety and passion aren't opposites - they're inseparable. But devotion has a way of becoming something sacred - especially when it's built on trust, not temptation.

Romance Trope: enemies to lovers When my high school arch nemesis weasels his way into my friend group, our bitter rivalry starts right where it left off. The back-and-forth trading of insults is a comforting place I'm familiar with, but when the banter starts feeling a little like flirting, I panic-spiral, pumping the brakes before things can escalate. I let my guard down around this man once, and the only souvenir I got was a major case of embarrassment. There's no way I'm making the same mistake twice. But when he starts doing sweet things for me and doubling down on the seemingly innocent touching, I can feel myself wanting to forget all the reasons he became my arch nemesis in the first place. I must fortify my walls because I can absolutely, under no circumstances allow this man the opportunity to best me yet again. [This is BOOK FOUR of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]

The little bell chimes as I walk through the door, everyone's eyes diverting to me. There's a girl, around my age, maybe younger, wiping down the counter tops, taking breaks to wipe away the short hairs in her eyes.
