No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.

Book One of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy. These books can be read as stand-alone novels, but it's recommended they be read in order. WINDSOR TRIPLET ONE: THE FORGOTTEN TRIPLET Everyone knows the Windsor Triplets. They're plastered on magazine covers. They're beloved by millions. Except, Carter Windsor is still the forgotten triplet. While the world loves the mask Carter puts on, the ones who are supposed to notice him, don't. His brothers are busy with being taught to take over the family empire. Carter was born last; therefore, there is no use for him other than showing face when needed. Yet, his parents deem him irresponsible. Because he is. Carter Windsor plays himself off as irresponsible and doesn't even realize it. The parties he attends go well into the mornings. The constant instability in his life is starting to wear down. Now, he is being threatened to be cut off by the very people who barely remember he exists. He needs to prove he can be stable. Enter Alastair Yates, the picture of irresponsibility. Another perceived idea of garnering his parent's attention--his brothers' attention. Someone's attention. Carter sees an opportunity to enlist Alastair as his fake boyfriend to appear responsible when Alastair seems anything but. He has a record. He's been to jail more than a few times. He is full of tattoos and bad decisions. Right? Alastair and Carter both seem to have things to learn about the real world and maybe this little ploy is one way to learn. Alastair needs to understand that not every rich boy has everything he needs, and Carter needs to understand there are better ways to be seen. #1-malexmale tag: 2/17/2024 #8-boyxboy tag: 3/2/2024 #4-badboy tag: 3/24/2024
