"It's kind of ironic, you know? My life has always revolved around being on ice. It only makes sense that I met the girl I love after she slipped on the only patch in the parking lot."

August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))

For the past three years, Bren Hadaway has been preparing to die. When he was sixteen, he watched his dad murder his mom. And ever since, he's been counting down the days until it was his turn to be at the end of a gun. And Bren has never really cared. His hellish childhood combined with his learning disability instilled in him the idea that having a real future was never in his cards. Until now. Bren spent his first semester of college falling in love with the one girl he'd do anything to live for. He relived his past, fought his demons, and gave up on his own goals-all so he could help Madie Lenertz escape her abusive boyfriend. But now Bren has no choice but to find his dad so he can quit looking over his shoulder. So he can stop waiting to die. Because suddenly the only thing in the world that Bren Hadaway wants is a future. And he wants it with her. This story is a sequel to It Burns Within Us, and it is the second installment in the Wildfire Series. ***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY***

{𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘖𝘕𝘌 𝘖𝘍 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘓𝘌𝘚𝘚 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠} Ria Romano knew hurt like the back of her hand. She was dealt her fair share of bad cards, more than anyone so young should have to face. A cynical girl riddled with the remnants of her past, a shattered sort of soul. She concealed like it was second nature; her instinct being to suppress. She'd offer you a cigarette with a shrug while you were crying because she never was too great with affection. She didn't smile so often but when she did and it was directed at you, you'd never feel such satisfaction. I was told Aria preferred to be alone, isolated; clouding her mind with inhales of her cigarette and drowning it in alcohol. Until she was dealt her good card, out of the pack of bad. They had a love beautiful enough to last a lifetime, the type directors desire to capture and authors aspire to write. Two souls, shattered by the cruelty of the world time and time again with flames that rekindled each others. They were each other's oxygen. They breathed life back into each other, those two insomniacs. <3

Book 2 of The Dover Club Series [This book is the sequel to Chasing Blue. It cannot be read as a stand-alone. Since this part contains spoilers, it is advised to read Chasing Blue first] . . . "Sometimes the right person arrives at the wrong time. Twice." Austin Rhodes used to be a boy who loved fiercely. Now, he's the grumpy, hyper-focused captain of the NBA's Dover Lords. Isabella Cosmo is no longer the player who breaks the rules. She is a team analyst, with a vision for her favorite sport, and a need for privacy. Four years ago, she ran away without an explanation. Four years ago, he swore to never say her name again. But when an internal trade deal traps them in the same team, they have to learn how to be around each other again. The court is too small, the season is too long, and some fires refuse to be put out. He's chasing a blue he'll never find. She's choosing a red that'll scorch her mind. Choosing Red is the second book in the Dover Club series. It is a second-chance, forced-proximity sports romance filled with burning tension, the best found family, and a whirlwind of drama. "This book is the ultimate redemption of a girl reclaiming her sport, her man, and herself-and the story of a man unapologetically choosing her red, despite all odds." . . .

The Dover Club series - Book 1 "A boy and a girl can never be just best friends. Not when one of them is lying." Austin Rhodes is Dover University's basketball prodigy with a clean-cut reputation and an NBA future. Isabella Cosmo is the fiery rebel who'd rather break a machine than her own heart. For three years, they've been the perfect best friends. But in the final year of college, everything changes. Austin is tired of playing it safe. He's been in love with the girl who hates the idea of it for years, and now that college is ending, he's finally ready to snap the restraints. The best place to hide love is behind a friendship after all. The Dover Club series is an interconnected stand-alone sports romance series that follows six varsity friends who meet in an Ivy League college called Dover U. Book 1 is the prequel to Isabella and Austin's story, but it's also the foundation of how the Dover Club got its name. Hop on the ride. It's going to be a long one. "If the Windy City series and Off Campus series had a baby, this would be it."
