BOOK TWO IN THE GLOBAL SUPERSTARS SERIES - AIDEN RYKER I'm frenemies with nightmare fuel! For the last seven months, Nash Fox has made it his mission to make sure I could never forget he existed. And okay, I'm not too upset by it. I could tell him to go away or stop texting me, but I don't. That would be so mean. Except, that comes back to bite me in the ass when I'm invited to Colorado for two weeks. For the Luna-Pierce family games. Never mind the Kitt Luna tour I have to managed in less than a month. Why does it come back to bite me? Oh, right. I have to share a guest house with Nash! Someone sedate me for the next two weeks. Because now, he's there every second, and I already had trouble with getting him out of my psyche. Nash was the brash, cold-seeming, and the 'bad boy' you'd read about. But he isn't those things, and I find out exactly why I'd been so sure of that. My back rooms stranger is Nash. How do I find out? Nash falls into another panic attack, and I'm the only one around. When I find out, there is nothing I can do to keep hiding the feelings I have for the ice-cold bad boy. But we both have secrets, and when those secrets show up through our reactions, we have to figure out how to navigate them. Which is why I begin dating Nash. In secret. Until we can both make sure this is what we really want. Through rescue missions, horse snuggles, adrenaline-activities, snarky dialogue, and stolen moments? There lay a beautiful moment that I become less scared to take. But why does Nash hide this sweet, soft side of himself? I want to find out what he's protecting himself from, so that I can shield him, too. Nash isn't alone anymore, and I need to realize that I'm not, either.

Levi has always had it easy-on the field, in the halls, and with everyone who thinks they know him. Popular, athletic, and effortlessly charming, he's the guy people expect to succeed... even if his grades say otherwise.

Shared secrets slip through the cracks. And somewhere between late-night study sessions and unexpected sparks, Levi starts noticing things he shouldn't-like the way Dakota smiles when he forgets to hide it. Just when things feel almost right, a mistake shatters everything. Harsh words. Betrayal. Bad blood. And suddenly they're strangers again - hurt, angry, and pretending they never cared.

But I can't despise Axi. I just can't. What happens next? We're worlds apart in actual distance and career perspective. We aren't supposed to fit.

At twenty-one, Silas Blackwood has everything going for him. A rising name, a tattoo studio in Las Vegas, a face people don't forget, and enough ego to carry all of it just fine. Then Victor Acosta arrives and ruins his pride, and eventually, his whole mental stability. Victor is the artist from Spain who walks into the biggest tattoo competition of the year, steals first place, and somehow ends up working in Silas's studio right after. He is quiet, rude, terrifyingly talented, and weirdly impossible to ignore. Which would already be bad enough. But Silas has bigger problems. For three years, he's been talking to a stranger online. Trusting him with things he's never said out loud, and missing him when he disappears. That stranger was Victor. Silas doesn't know that yet. And before he can even process the rivalry, the obsession, or why Victor feels so familiar, he finds out there are two Acosta brothers in Vegas. Twins. And he's already dating one of them. 🥇#1 - slowburn 🥇#1 - switch
