[BoyxBoy] "I'd take your worst memory and put it into my own head if it meant that you no longer had to suffer." Versailles Evigheden was a hopeless romantic; he yearned for the love and affection he saw within those around him and had done everything to achieve it. Even if what he'd done just ended up hurting him in the end. And he did achieve it, but never for long. He knew he was dependent, maybe even overly so, but who could blame him? After hiding from the spotlight for his entire life, constantly avoiding being the center of everyone's attention - it was only natural that he wanted even one person to notice him. ••• Kye Rosenheim earned himself the reputation of a "bad guy" for a purpose; to scare everyone away from himself. Because in his mind, nobody deserved to see the absolute mess he was hiding underneath. Especially after the death of his childhood best friend... Dealing with crippling daddy issues and a need to escape from the spotlight altogether, he never expected to fall for someone so different so fast. Someone that seemed to be his complete opposite. But, as the saying goes - Opposites Attract. [BOOK ONE]

At a college where hockey is king and appearances are everything, Jasper Reed and Cole Harrington exist in two very different worlds. Jasper moves through campus with quiet independence, his skateboard and alternative style setting him apart from the crowd. Cole, the star defenseman of the D1 hockey team and a prominent fraternity member, appears to have everything under control-popular, confident, and living up to every expectation placed on him. When a victory celebration at a crowded frat party brings them together, an intense and unexpected connection forms between them. What begins as a single night of lowered inhibitions quickly becomes something far more complicated. Both young men carry hidden burdens and carefully maintained facades, and as their lives begin to intertwine, the pressure to keep their worlds separate grows. In a place where reputation and performance are everything, some truths are harder to hide than others. As the ice beneath them starts to crack, Jasper and Cole are forced to confront who they really are-and what they're willing to risk for the chance to be seen.
