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. Content Warning: This book contains themes of trauma, abuse, stalking, violence, and explicit scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

Caden Connelly is hot. Dumb. And possibly cursed. Every girl he dates ends up falling for someone else-usually one of his teammates-and he's sick of being the universe's personal punchline. So this semester, he's got a new plan: fake date someone completely undateable. Someone so immune to hockey charm, the curse won't stand a chance. Enter Raven Alore. She's too smart to fall for a himbo goalie and way too busy trying to win a cutthroat sports media internship, take revenge on her ex, and survive living with her backstabbing roommate. She has exactly zero time for Caden's golden retriever energy or his abs of distraction. But when fake dating him gets her: a viral PR case study a shot at the internship and her ex shaking in his cleats... Well, she's in. With conditions. No feelings. No flirting. No shirtless selfies. (Okay, maybe one shirtless selfie.) But the longer they fake it, the messier it gets-because Caden's actually... not that dumb? And Raven's not that heartless. And this whole thing? Might not be fake at all. By the time the puck drops, someone's gonna catch feelings. Let's just hope it's not cursed.

One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?
