Aurora Sinclair has spent years trying to survive the weight of her last name. Returning to Baymount for the winter semester, she wants only one thing: distance from her family's shadows, from her father's memory and from the trauma she has spent her life burying. But when a professor connected to her late father is brutally murdered, that fragile sense of control shatters. Then Marco is assigned to protect her. Fresh out of prison and as dangerous as the rumors say, Marco is the last person Aurora wants watching her every move. He is cold, unreadable and far too used to taking control, while Aurora has spent her whole life fighting the hands that tried to shape, silence and cage her. They clash instantly. But when threatening messages begin appearing, each one tied to her father's past, Aurora realizes someone is not just hunting for revenge. They are hunting her.

Second book 🏒. Sol has built her life on movement, always moving forward, never lingering where memories might catch her. She wears confidence like armor and hides her uncertainty behind sarcasm and a fearless grin. She keeps her past locked away, somewhere even she doesn't like to visit and Noah was never supposed to be part of the equation. He's familiar and steady, and quietly magnetic in a way that sneaks up on you. Her best friend's brother. A constant presence that slowly becomes something else entirely. A pull she can't explain and a safety she never planned to crave. What begins as comfort sharpens into desire, into something dangerously close to love. When the past resurfaces and threatens to destroy the fragile equilibrium she has established, Sol must decide if she is brave enough to allow someone to truly see her. Noah isn't interested in half-hearted promises or temporary fixes. He wants to stay. He wants all of her, even the messy parts. But trust is fragile. And some wounds don't heal quietly. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

Logan Romano didn't just enter the NHL. He tore through it. Dark. Brooding. Untouchable. With brutal talent and a reputation as cold as the New York winter, Logan dominates both the ice and every room he walks into. He doesn't lose. He doesn't bend. And he certainly doesn't fall in love. Not after the last time. Not until November Levine crashes into his life like a beam of sunlight he never asked for. She's warmth where he's storm clouds. She's soft where he's jagged edges. A walking contradiction to everything Logan swore he needed. When a deal forces the polar opposites under one roof, tensions ignite fast. Teasing turns to feuds. Feuds turn into something dangerously close to desire. And Logan is forced to confront the one promise he's never broken. Because once you step into the light- it's impossible to return. ✩ Grumpy x sunshine • forced proximity • slow burn Will the hockey captain cross that line? ✩ "Nova." I whisper, my voice low and hoarse against her neck. "Stop it." "Stop what." She whimpers back innocently as her thighs tighten around my hips. My teeth nip at the skin on her jaw in warning. "Either stop teasing, or put me out of my fucking misery." November pulls her head back from mine, resting it against the wall, and bats her lashes up at me. "Say please."
