But I can't despise Axi. I just can't. What happens next? We're worlds apart in actual distance and career perspective. We aren't supposed to fit. But why does everything that is supposed to feel wrong, feel so right for once in my life?

The heartbreak feels like someone twisted and yanked my heart out of my chest, but I suppose my heart was never there to begin with, was it? Couldn't be. Not when Zephyr Delaney held it captive. Zephyr cut me out because I'd been breaking him to pieces while he'd done all he could to save me. I wasn't surviving or living anymore. I was a shell. It has been a month with no contact when I happen upon him in town, and the look of nothingness when he sees me, breaks me further. It was like I was a stranger. I want my Devil back, but how do I stop the all-consuming fear? How do I give him everything he deserves?

I have to communicate with him, but it will prove to be the hardest challenge of my life. But what am I to do when my Devil seeks me out one late-night not long after seeing him act as if I was a stranger in town? What am I to do when he tells me he can't only be my friend? And what am I to do when he gives me one final chance to be honest-to tell him how scared I am? I... take it. Because a life without my Devil hasn't really been living at all, and the horrors of our past will complicate our build phase. I don't know if I can be good enough for him. But I know I need to try now. It's my last chance, and I don't want to waste it.

Book Four of Six in the Angel and Devils Series. MUST BE READ IN READING ORDER -- CAYLEX STEELE Oh, my god.

The voices of my brothers, who I know what's best for me. However, telling Gareth about my confucked feelings for him sounds like a bitter Hell that I don't want to live in. But Gareth clearly is at his limit with me, and I don't want him to reach it. Which means, I will have to start opening my mouth with the truth. When I start to do as such, I start to realize that maybe Gareth has been hiding something from me, too. Every night, for only ten minutes, I stand at the train tracks where I once tried to take my life. I was saved that night, and I took too much of my anxiety medication. I can't remember the details. Nothing past the bare minimum. That boy helped me get home to my brother that night. I was sixteen, and that boy saved my life. As it so happens? There's always been a reason why I was so adamant about calling Gareth my Angel, even when he was supposed to be a Devil. Because he really is my Angel. And I think I've always known, but now? I'm ready to admit it. Especially when I give Gareth no choice but to reveal himself.

BOOK THREE OF SIX IN THE ANGELS AND DEVILS SERIES -- KAI BELLAMY I had one mission. Find my brother when I turned eighteen. But it didn't work out. My plans changed. Everything changed. I'm still searching for him, but I have brothers and Angels to look out for, too. Especially one particular Angel. My Angel. Arlo. We have one thing in common. Dex. My best friend since we were in diapers. He's also... Arlo's dead twin brother. Dex's addiction took him over. Just like he always predicted. I tried so hard to save him. Arlo, too. But now, we both have a piece of ourselves missing. And Arlo's piece is bigger than mine. He lost his twin. His pride and joy. His everything. Dex always told me to look out for Arlo when he was gone because he had a soft heart, and a 'sensitive empath card,' as he called it. And looking out for Arlo landed me in prison for two years. No regrets. But I'm back now, and we've decided to collect our lost souls, and help them live better lives than the ones they were living. But I'm in love with Arlo, and I can't tell him. Dex wasn't the only one I was close with since we were in diapers, but I was marginally closer to Dex. Until he passed. Now, I'm keeping Arlo tucked into my wings. I need him safe. I need him happy. And I have doubts that I will be able to make him shine with sunshine like he deserves, but damn if I don't want to. Until Arlo stumbles across someone we've both been searching for. Out of nowhere. My brother. Noah. And it knocks my brain onto the right track. Arlo is mine, and I'll stop at nothing to make him as such.

No one was coming to save me from the unhealthy way I avoid emotions. I was on my own. I didn't know what I wanted anymore. I never knew. Not since that humiliating moment in high school. When I tried to ask a horrified Onyx Steele to prom. I'm not supposed to hate him for turning me down as gently as he could. In front of everyone. Or the way he looked absolutely horrified when he saw what I'd done. But as the years passed, and I hissed at him through them, Onyx hits his breaking point. His breaking point? The boy he was bonded to. The one I have a deeper, unjustifiable unlike for. And when he tried to help? I pounced. It was more than they saw. I've known Onyx longer than he had. But after I end up getting told by Onyx that he was done giving me the attention I sought, I bent in half more. So, when he came to try once more with me. I told him. Everything. More than I should have. I just snapped. I don't want to be in love with him, so I told him in hopes he'd free me. Except, Onyx seems determined to fix things. It starts with the most insane grand gesture known to mankind. And it puts the man who despises being the center of attention, right at the goddamn epicenter.

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
