Teenage baller Kaden Hastings has a fit when his family moves to California. He can handle the new medical diagnosis that slowly eats away at his life, but when his parents separate him from his teammates and girlfriend to move him to California to see an epilepsy specialist, Kaden can't deal with it anymore. Logan Hastings has a confession. For him, the move is a chance to finally help his brother, who now has no one else to turn to for support. Logan finds that helping his brother means lying at school, lying at home, and even letting Kaden risk his life for basketball. Still plagued with guilt for causing Kaden's epilepsy, Logan must choose between helping his brother live and giving him something to live for. When Kaden meets a mysterious girl at his new epilepsy clinic, he's drawn to her, and not just because they have several things in common. When Logan pushes Kaden to get with a cheerleader at his new school, Kaden is left with a choice: the popular cheerleader who reminds him that he used to play basketball, or the mysterious girl in his art class who can relate to him, because she has epilepsy, too. In My Head is the first book in a trilogy about the unpredictability of life and the lengths we will go to take back control, fix our mistakes, and protect the ones we love.

Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him.

She is about to uncover what's hidden under his rough and cold exterior-whether she's ready for it or not. After all, eyes are the window to the soul. *** "Thank you," he murmurs sleepily, raising his hand to bring it to my cheek. His thumb slides against my soft skin slowly, it burns hot at his touch.

Damian had never seen Carmen before but as soon as he sets his sight on the wholesome girl, he can't stop thinking about her. Damian has always been handed everything in his life and has never been told the word "no", due to his prosperous parents giving him everything he has ever wanted and more on a silver platter. The problem is, he wants the one thing he can't have. Will things go smoothly between the pair, or will lust and temptation get the best of them? 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝟏𝟖+

Aern's only job is to protect the chosen. The trouble is, she's the key to a prophecy and everyone wants her. Hiding a girl in the center of a secret war is tricky business, but when her sister shows up to take Aern hostage, all bets are off. A slim brunette in borrowed jeans should be the least of his problems, but there's something about Emily he just can't put to rights. And it's not her penchant for using hand tools as weapons or the fact that she seems immune to his sway. Everything about her screams run. But when he discovers she's working toward her own prophecy, he's got no choice but to keep her safe. It might have been easy, if she didn't think she was the chosen's protector. When the opposition descends, their only hope is to stick together, but the truth unravels, and together might prove the biggest complication of them all.
