"Wenn du in den Spiegel siehst, hast du dann Angst, dass jeder Atemzug dein letzter sein könnte? Dass jeder Schritt in den Abgrund führen könnte? Dass jede noch so unwichtige Entscheidung das Leben deiner Freunde beenden könnte?" verliebt - verlobt - verheiratet Drei Worte, an deren Macht ich schon lange nicht mehr glaube. Nicht, wenn es in meinem Leben so viel Dunkelheit gibt. Angstzustände sind der tägliche Wahnsinn. Schlaf ein Privileg. Albtraumlose Nächte ungesehen. Ruhemomente mit jedem Herzschlag seltener. In meiner Vergangenheit, die mich nun mehr einholt als jemals zuvor, habe ich sehr viele schlimme Dinge bezeugt, erlebt und auch selbst getan. Aber langsam frage ich mich, ob mich diese Erfahrungen auch nur im Entferntesten auf das Hier und Jetzt vorbereitet haben. Zu viel steht auf dem Spiel. Die Gefahr lauert in jeder Ecke. Ein ewiger Bund zwischen zwei Ländern. Eine zum Leben erwachte Legende. Ein alter Feind, der eine unbezahlte Rechnung mit mir zu begleichen hat. „verliebt - verlobt - verheiratet" Aber wie besiegt man einen unsichtbaren Feind? Wie die eigene Furcht? Das eigene Herz? verfolgt - verletzt - verflucht TW: Diese Story beinhaltet unter anderem psychische, sowie physische Folter, sehr detaillierte Beschreibung von Leichen und Leichenteilen, sowie anstößige Inhalte und kann deshalb für manche Menschen (re-)traumatisierend wirken.

Logan Romano took the NHL like a hurricane- dark and brooding. With his natural talent, brute force and sheer determination, he goes completely unchallenged both on and off the ice. He's notorious. Both for his success and his stormy personality. With a scorned, broken, heart and battered ego; Logan swore to never fall in love again. And he was a master at keeping his promises. Until he met November Levine. While Logan is a lightning strike and gloomy grey skies, Nova is the beaming sun and blossoming flowers. She's the closest sunshine gets to being a person, acting as a bright ray of joy and optimism. When the polar opposites strike a deal and Nova moves in to Logan's home, tensions run high and feuds quickly begin. But above all else, Logan is forced to revoke his promise to himself. Because once he's stepped into the light, it's almost impossible to plummet back into darkness. ✩✩✩ "Nova." I whisper, my voice low and hoarse against her neck. "Stop it." "Stop what." She whimpers back innocently as her thighs tighten around my hips. My teeth nip at the skin on her jaw in warning. "Either stop teasing or put me out of my fucking misery." November pulls her head back from mine, resting it against the wall, and bats her lashes up at me. "Say please."

Jane Caughill: Not a nobody, definitely not a somebody. From a young age Jane knew she was different. She could tell you how many boats were on Lake Mead or a random fact about giraffes if she wanted to. But the one question she can't answer is what she's going to do after college. Being undeniably smart had its pros: an early graduation and a bright future in the medical field. Though, it also had its cons: the constant nagging and reliance everybody had on her. But no matter what, she always found herself helping them. Here's the plan so far: graduate, land a high-paying job in the medical field, live a happy life, the end. But ever since Jane had stepped into that bakery back home as a child, she'd been hooked on the craft. But she's strapped for cash and the pre-med track sounds a whole lot more financially promising. All she needed to do for the next 3 years was keep her head down and work off her pending college loans. The last thing she thought she'd be doing was tutoring some jock. • • • • • • • • Aiden Parker: Definitely not a nobody, and most definitely a somebody. As a three year starter for one of the most prolific college hockey teams in the country he has it all going for him. The looks, the talent, the charm. But when it comes to the classroom he's quite literally failing. With the team nearing playoffs and a sweet chance at the title, Aiden needs to find a way to boost his grades or risk riding the bench. What he wasn't expecting was to be tutored by some chick who could give Einstein a run for his money. She could be a bit shy at times, a bit lost in her thoughts too, but she's exactly what he needs to keep his spot on the team. The two of them strike a deal: she tutors him, he pays her, and that's that. Developing feelings wasn't a part of the deal. But as his feelings fail to dissipate, he begins to realize that maybe winning a championship won't be the sweetest victory after all. Winning the girl is.
