"You're my husband it's time for you to start acting like it." "Fake husband, we're just friends Isaac."

Eden Woods has spent his entire life searching for something. He spends his days working at a cafe in France, taking photos to pass the time, then going out on weekends, losing himself in the nights. Only, despite all the soul searching, he can never quite shake the feeling that he's missing something. Then, after a drunken, almost definitely accidental tattoo, Eden meets Avery. The one who did it. He's a tempest. Blustering and bold. Fiery and flirtatious. Avery Romano is a mystery in a bottle, and all Eden wants is to figure him out. Slowly, Eden starts to think that maybe Avery is exactly what he's been searching for. When Avery begins to frequent Eden's cafe, the two begin to forge a bond, and slowly but surely, their paths begin to grow together like intertwining vines climbing up the same wall. For a while, life goes on. Then obviously, things get complicated.

What happens when you put two rival college athletes in the same room? If you said anything other than sliding straight into third base, you'd be wrong about Beckett Young and Prince Albright. Despite the hothead that Beckett Young is, he has a very bright future ahead of him in the MLS...as long as he doesn't screw it up first. However, he does have a long list of fuck-ups and factors that can contribute to said fuck-ups like insomnia, a failing appetite, an ill-mother, a past he refuses to confront, and so much more than he shoves down into the emotionally constipated person that he is. If you ask him, he'd definitely say he's justified in being a brat. As for Prince Albright, he couldn't be more different. Despite having a notorious reputation for sleeping around, the hockey captain is quite the people pleasing sweetheart, but not by choice. It comes at the cost of trying (and failing) to manage his mental health considering his OCD has come back and reared its ugly head. And like Beckett, he also has his fair share of hardships like a famous family that he can never please, an unsupportive team, and his slowly dwindling passion for hockey. With two broken people, that makes for one unconventional relationship-a messy arrangement that leaves their severed patterns and scrambled selves vulnerable to being adored by the other. You could even argue that their growing feelings toward one another causes a wrench in their plans. If you want a story full of complexity, chaos, and a few too many insults, this one is perfect for you.
