BOOK THREE OF THREE IN THE SKATES ON ICE TRILOGY - CASPIAN VALE I made a mistake that wasn't so much a mistake. I can't figure out how to rationalize what happened. I don't know how to regret it, either. I slept with my ex-fiance. That sentence is enough to send anyone into a spiral. Including me. I'm in a spiral. I've finally managed to make my dream come true. I'm going to the Olympics. Which means, I am steadily in New York for the next few months, training. No comps. No traveling. Nothing. I'm in my home of New York, and I'm staying. Guess what fate the world gave me? Keon Wilder, my precious ex-fiance, has been traded to the New York Knights. Meaning, Keon will be here, living in New York. And the moment he finds out my new home has been New York, he is trying to be my support system. He wants to talk, which is fair, but I can't. Not yet. I'm right there. I'm about to achieve my dream. However... Keon was my dream, too, and I love him more than anything in this world. Just know this. Chaos ensues. Keon's team isn't welcoming him the way he deserves, and I simply can't leave him alone. The same way he can't leave me alone. But what Keon doesn't know? I've been to his games. A lot of them. Too many of them. And I start going again. He's trying to help me reach my dream-because he's amazing-and here I am, scared I'll lose him all over again. Is it possible for me to have both dreams, or were we always doomed from the start?

BOOK TWO IN THE SKATES ON ICE TRILOGY - NOAH WILDER I want the attention of the media, and I will get it by any means necessary. It's crucial. I need their cameras and articles because that means my name is finally hitting headlines. Which means, more people will see them. Like, perhaps, my older brother, who I haven't seen since we were forced apart by the foster care system. I was nine, and he was sixteen. I was adopted, and I even have another amazing older brother that I want him to meet. Except, when I keep falling on my face in hopes to get noticed by the media, Caleb Calder keeps pulling me back, and making things better. Caleb Calder. Caleb Calder. Caleb Calder. We used to be friends. Best friends. Secretly. Until we weren't. Until he asked me on a date, and when I tried to find him before our game against each other-the night of our supposed date-I heard him. I heard him say that he'd never date him-me-in any reality. It was a ploy, and I thought better of him. Until I couldn't. Now, I'm confused. Because his actions don't seem that of someone who didn't care. Did I get something wrong? We're on the same NHL team now, and things are getting crazy. Caleb keeps protecting me from the media, and I keep getting addicted to the way he protects me. Until I am forced to realize two things... One, I'm falling for Caleb Calder all over again. And two? My lost, big brother has been marginally closer to me than I ever could have realized. THIS STORY CONTAINS THE FAKE DATING TROPE. XOXO

Book one of three in the Skates on Ice trilogy. EMERSON CALDER: One fall. And that one fall almost ended my entire figure skating career. To make matters worse, I could almost taste my first Olympic win... before Onyx Steele, my skating partner, made one mistake during our routine that sent me slamming against the ice. I never blamed him, but my best friend blames himself. We almost made it. Until we didn't. It's been three years, and last year, I decided to take the ice back by becoming my university's hockey mascot. Hidden identity, no one knew it was me, but then? Then I meet Ashton Knox-the university's star hockey player, and we began talking. What was supposed to be one year of being the Wolves mascot turned into two. Because I can't part from the fond friendship I formed with him. He's a distraction from my goals, but I can't stop. He believes in me. But he has no idea who I am underneath this mask. I didn't want to be in a spotlight that wasn't mine. Then, Ashton gets injured on the ice, during a game, and the moment I tear off that mascot head and race over to him, I am thrust right into that same spotlight that isn't mine. Maybe I have far more feelings for the dopey hockey player than I initially realized.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF LUCIAN AND GRAY'S STORY. If you haven't read book five, this book will NOT make sense. Book Six of the Chaotic Hearts Series --- LUCIAN SULLANO: I'm starting to think I'm cursed or something. Maybe the universe is trying to level out my happiness to make sure I don't reach too much happiness. I have no idea. Here's the thing, right? I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world. I'd protect him with my life, and I've proved that to be true already. But then, Dante returns, trying to test my relationship! Does it work? No. But after Dante is arrested, my relationship with Gray continues to be tested in unexpected ways. Can we make it? Yeah. Well, I'd sure hope so anyway! Only, I might have hit a major snag when I went against Asher Adair and told him he was incompetent once or twice. Honestly, though? The second time, I was more than in the right for what I said. Another confrontation with Asher Adair leads me to ACTUALLY lose my job. No, Asher didn't fire me, but he seemed to insinuate that he wanted to. So, as a result of that fiery conversation between Asher Adair and me... I quit my job with The Adair House. But you know what? Maybe it was for the best because if I wanted a happy future with Gray, I couldn't work under Asher Adair, who happens to be Gray's father. Only, I might have screwed up any potential relationship I could have forged with Gray's family after my outburst. Will that cause my relationship to take even more damage? Or can we make it out of this trial, too? It might not be easy, but this time? I'm not the one who needs to apologize. Asher Adair destroyed my confidence and made me believe I didn't have what it took to do the job he put me in. So, it's time to find my purpose and prove that I am far better than I think. It's time to do something for me. It's time for me to forge my own future. I do know one thing for certain. I will never work for The Adair House ever again.

Book Five of Six in the Chaotic Hearts Series. BOOKS MUST BE READ IN ORDER. THIS IS BOOK ONE OF TWO OF LUCIAN AND GRAY'S STORY. THEY HAVE A SEQUEL "DON'T LOSE ME" LUCIAN SULLANO: I did it. I hacked into Asher Adair's mainframe. Listen, hear me out! I'm sorry! I did what I had to do! I might have been a little overdramatic with my delivery, but I didn't know what else to do. I have always been taught the importance of protecting the peace of those you care about, and if I have to go to epic proportions to achieve it, then I will. I knew I'd have to sacrifice my job and my friendship with Gray, but I'd rather be penniless and alone than watch Gray deal with the fallout of what could have happened. I thought I covered my tracks enough, but I didn't. Asher Adair sees me on the cameras using Gray's badge to purposely set off the alarms, implicating myself, and now everyone is confused. He comes to ask me what happened, and I no longer have a reason to hide it. I tell him. He drops the charges, but that leaves Gray. I'm afraid he'll never forgive me, and I'd deserve it, but I tell him what happened anyway. I still don't know what's going to happen with our friendship when I leave his apartment. So, why is it that when I arrive at Levi West's house, everyone asks me why I hid my relationship with Gray Adair from them? Hold on, what?! I'm in a relationship with Gray Adair?! Since when?! Oh, things just got a whole lot more complicated...

Book one of The Heartbreak Club Duet: Catching Tate Archer & Rescuing Damon Stryker. -- TATE ARCHER-DIAZ: He's the unobtainable one. The captain. The "bad boy." The one whose entire life revolves around basketball. However, I caught his attention from the first time he laid eyes on me, and when he approached me with offerings of a date, I found myself determined to set the little bad boy off like a firework. Into the sky and away from me. Damon Stryker, captain of Duke University's basketball team, decided I was the one he wanted, and I tried so hard to ignore the way he spoke in that hard, stoic voice that left little room for arguments. If he's determined to capture his Firefly, then he needs to put in the work. We aren't supposed to be together. We have to remain a secret. If we're caught, it could spell disastrous consequences for both of us. But try as I may, I can't prevent myself from falling for the stoic man because he treats me like I'm the finest gem. I get lost in those villainous green eyes, and I'm hypnotized. But as Chapel Hill's cheer captain, rivaled against Damon's school, Duke, we would ruin our futures before they began. We can't be caught. If we were caught, Damon would lose his position on Duke's basketball team, effectively diminishing his chances of making it to the NBA. It doesn't help that the sports world is still as homophobic as they comes, so a gay relationship is out of the question. But we can't stay away from each other. We fall in love, live through our secret relationship for over two years, and when it comes to telling our families and the world? Well, it doesn't go according to plan. It will all fall down, but you need to understand how we build our story first. Otherwise, you won't be able to understand how our love ends up withstanding a great tragedy. Our relationship will be tested in ways no relationship should need to be tested. And we will make it, but the road to our happy ending is a long one.

Book two of The Heartbreak Club Duet: Catching Tate Archer & Rescuing Damon Stryker. TATE STRYKER: It's been two years, four months, and thirteen days since I last saw my husband. And then, out of nowhere, Sebastian Villan shows up on my doorstep, calling me out on my bullshit. Six months ago, I figured out what caused Damon to vanish, but I couldn't get the answers to the questions I had. It caused me to spiral out of control, and ruin my life. And I knew I was doing it. I pushed my family away, failed out of school, and my apartment was on the brink of eviction. When Sebastian shows up, he tells me the full story, and I am more than devastated. And after we talk, he tells me that I need to tell my husband what I'd been up to. A.K.A. Sebastian was giving me the chance to tell Damon to come home. To tell him how messed up I am. So, I do. And Damon does come home. But nothing is the same anymore. Damon is traumatized, in pain, and afraid. He lost his brother. His hero. His partner in crime. And not only did he lose Ethan, he lost me as a result of his horrifying trauma. He'd been working through it, but there are areas he refuses to speak about-to the point that sometimes he refuses to speak at all. I have to rescue him. Our marriage. Our future. But that means he has to be willing to save himself. It's not going to be easy, but it will sure as hell be worth it. I've waited over two years for him to come home, and I can't lose him when I finally have him back.

XION LOCKE: I have been spazzing about this opportunity to dance with my idol, Kayax Luna. I didn't need the added stress of my greatest heartbreak to follow me around in what was supposed to be my safe space. The fact that I didn't need a safe space away from someone who wouldn't physically or purposely emotionally harm me wasn't the point. However, now I have to deal with the consequences of my own actions. Surprise, surprise. Kayax asked me to bring a dance move from his mind alive, and he chose Levi for me to partner with. I tried to keep myself together, but I cracked apart the longer I had to stare into eyes that I wanted to be mine once upon a time. Levi had enough, and he decided to finally speak of our seven-year separation. He asked me, and I told him. Curse him. Now, he's after me for the explanation. Great question, I'd love to tell you, Levi. Maybe you'll understand why I want to keep my distance. Maybe you'll understand why I took all these measures to protect myself. Except, he doesn't understand at all. Levi is angry. He's hurt. He's destroyed. Wait, I didn't expect that reaction. I didn't expect him to shout at me as he painfully told me every way that I was wrong. I didn't expect him to show such emotion when telling me that I should have talked to him seven years ago. I became the bad guy in seconds flat, and I had no idea there could be an explanation. I had no idea that everything I believed in the past was real. Levi was in love with me, and I'd been crushing him for seven years with my indifference. How the hell was I supposed to fix this while juggling a music video that deeply explained love and all the flaws that came with it? What would happen if we worked together to overcome the challenges I created by accident? What if we reignited that flame and lit our world on fire? I was making it my mission to show Levi that I removed the barbwire around my heart and prove to him I never stopped loving him.

Book three out of six in the Chaotic Hearts series. THESE STORIES MUST BE READ IN ORDER. RAIDEN ASHER: I get it. I'm a big, tough guy who rides a motorcycle and can get anyone I want with the snap of my fingers. Not true, by the way. Who even believes that stereotype? If that were true, I'd have the one I wanted and have wanted for almost a year. Not only that, I thought he wanted to kiss me, and I most certainly wanted to kiss him. So, I kissed him. Then he ran away and locked himself inside his room, and I had no idea how to fix the mistake I made in his honor. It wasn't a mistake for me. I only wanted to wipe his mind off the kiss so I could still keep him around and comfortable. I don't care how much it breaks me. I'd break apart for him. It's Halloween month, and I'm determined to back away and give him space. So, why does it seem like he doesn't want space? How long is he going to do this to me before he does break me? I know he has demons that crawl through his head and paralyze him, so how do I take away his fears? I'd fight many battles if it meant I'd win the war in his head. I want to show him that I mean what I say, and I'm giving myself until the stroke of midnight, November first, before I lay my weapons down and give up on any romance I could have with him. However, one of my Halloween dares that I must complete before midnight is to get a kiss from someone at the party we attend. So, why is Killian Wolfe standing in front of me?
