-- "You think you're so tough hm?" He says, getting closer to me. Both of our eyes lustful, deep and glued to each other's. "I am" I certify the one standing in front of me, our proximity making me nervous, but I'm refusing to show any signs of it. "You're testing my patience, princess." He admits as his hands lay lazily on my neck, I smirk at his sentence. "You're either leaving this place with a black eye or a hickey" He announces. "You wouldn't dare to kiss me." I bark back, his smirk growing as mine fades away. "Try me, Rora." He states, with the goddamn nickname. ---------- !! - It does contain mentions of sexual references, mature themes and strong verbiage.

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.

I thought knights in shining armour were for fairytales... until one hockey player made me believe otherwise. • • • She was promised to someone else. He promised himself he'd never cross the line. Madden knows better than to want the coach's daughter - especially when she's engaged to another man, polished and charming, the kind everyone admires. But he also knows when something isn't right. And he sees what she can't: the subtle control, the quiet manipulations, the too tight smile. So he becomes her safe place. Her anchor. No demands. No expectations. Just quiet, steady devotion. Selena never expected freedom to feel this gentle... or love to feel this patient. She thought she had to survive alone. She thought desire always came with risk. But with Madden, safety and passion aren't opposites - they're inseparable. But devotion has a way of becoming something sacred - especially when it's built on trust, not temptation.

Arden James is not looking for anything serious. She wants something fun and flirty without all the strings attached. Owen Nash, the charming, hockey-playing best friend of her best friend, fits all those criteria's and is willing to play. But when things get a little too serious for her liking, she breaks it off and swears she's once again never going back to hockey players. That's easier said than done when Owen's always around.. Owen Nash has a plan: finish senior year, get the ladies out of his system, and head to Nashville to become the hockey star he's always wanted to be. But then Arden James bursts into his life like a firecracker, and suddenly his heart has a mind of its own. He should stay away, but there's something about the loud, outgoing girl that tells him that she's hiding a deeper, much darker, story - one he's dying to unravel. Together they make a chaotic match, that probably would've been better off without existing. But they do say that the heart wants what it wants.. // This is an interconnected stand-alone, but there will be things talked about and referenced that happens in the first book. If you would like to see more of those moments you should go read "Between You and Me" the first book in the OMUH-series ♡ //
