"freya skye knows who malachi barton is. everyone does. they've crossed paths, shared rooms, lived in the same world- but they've never really known each other. so when a stranger starts texting her, it's easy to talk. easy to open up. easy to trust someone who doesn't expect anything from her. he listens. he understands. he sees the parts of her no one else notices. and somewhere between late-night conversations and secrets she's never said out loud- she falls. there's just one problem. the boy she's been telling everything to is the same boy she thought she only knew from a distance. and some lies don't just break trust- they break everything."

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

✶ malachi & freya ✶ Two signatures. One merger. Zero choice. In the glass-walled towers of the elite, love isn't a feeling-it's a negotiation. For Freya Skye and Malachi Barton, their futures were written in ink before they even knew how to hold a pen. Their parents-the ruthless architects Sarah, Mike, Felicia, and Loren-didn't just build empires; they built a cage, and they called it a Marriage Contract. But how do you play a game when the rules keep shifting? Freya is a firestorm looking for a match; Malachi is the ice that refuses to melt. They are two parallel lines finally forced to intersect, surrounded by a circle of friends who are just as tangled. Between Mckenna's loyalty, Mason's secrets, and Walker's wandering eyes, the line between corporate strategy and genuine heartbeat has never been thinner. It's a world of high-fashion masks and low-whispered threats. It's the feeling of falling when you aren't sure if someone will catch you or simply buy the ground you're about to hit. In a life where everything is scheduled, the only thing they didn't account for was the chaos of the "In-Between." They told them to expect the legacy. They told them to expect the crown. But they forgot to tell them the most important part... Expect the Unexpected.
