Lizzy's lips tilted up into a self deprecating smile. The divorce papers were filled, his part already darkened by his informations and his signature long dry on the paper. Her own was still fresh. Only twelve hours old. "How long has it been waiting ?" She dared to ask. There was a lot she wouldn't, but this, this she felt like she should know. How long had he been planning on divorcing her ? --- Elizabeth Clark loved her husband. She had found peace in their arranged marriage and as dysfunctional as it seemed, she had cherished her new home with all she had. Dante Giovanni had merely been biding his time, bearing through this hell of a marriage by counting down the seconds until he could get out of it. But when his wife sets him free, he finds out freedom has a bitter taste and that he might have passed by the love of his life. And Lizzy discovers she is more than just a man's daughter or wife, that she deserves more than what she had been given until then and is ready to fight for it.

I've got one rule: I don't do relationships. Hookups? Sure. Anything real? Hell no. Love doesn't fix anything-it just screws you up. I'd know. I watched it wreck my family. As team captain of the Ridgewater Warriors, I've got a game plan: Keep it casual. Stay focused. Win games. Screw puck bunnies. Repeat. It's been working just fine. Until Samantha Westbrook showed up. My best friend's little sister. The same girl who's had a crush on me since she was ten. Now she's a freshman at Ridgewater U- and she's made it her full-time job to ruin my game.

Now I can't stop looking at her. She didn't just break my ice-she wrecked my whole damn game.

Ruin never wanted to be the villain in any story. But for years, Charlotte--no, Charlie--was his nightmare in glitter and tank tops. The club Prez's brat sister. The chaos in the corner of every room. She torched his patience, tampered with his relationships, and pined for him like he was hers. She teetered on the edge of slut and princess like she didn't know the difference. But now, she's back after months of banishment. Not the wide-eyed girl who once purred his name in his bed, but the woman who was left to burn alone--by everyone, including him. And damn it... he can't stop watching her rise from the ashes. Charlotte used to be the club's living headache. All smoke, eyeliner, and dangerously misled loyalty. Glory's shadow. Wolf's sister. Ruin's nightmare. She wore dysfunction like a badge--until it got her banished. Thrown out like trash by the only family she ever had. But peace was good. Peace worked. Until the same betrayal that wrecked her came hunting for the men who exiled her. Now she's back with no one left to beg for love. Not her brother. Not her father. Not even Ruin. Especially not Ruin. And this time? She doesn't want to be saved. She wants vindication.
