WINDSOR TRIPLET ONE: THE FORGOTTEN TRIPLET Everyone knows the Windsor Triplets. They're plastered on magazine covers. They're beloved by millions. Except, Carter Windsor is still the forgotten triplet. While the world loves the mask Carter puts on, the ones who are supposed to notice him, don't. His brothers are busy with being taught to take over the family empire. Carter was born last; therefore, there is no use for him other than showing face when needed. Yet, his parents deem him irresponsible. Because he is. Carter Windsor plays himself off as irresponsible and doesn't even realize it. The parties he attends go well into the mornings. The constant instability in his life is starting to wear down. Now, he is being threatened to be cut off by the very people who barely remember he exists. He needs to prove he can be stable. Enter Alastair Yates, the picture of irresponsibility. Another perceived idea of garnering his parent's attention--his brothers' attention. Someone's attention. Carter sees an opportunity to enlist Alastair as his fake boyfriend to appear responsible when Alastair seems anything but. He has a record. He's been to jail more than a few times. He is full of tattoos and bad decisions. Right? Alastair and Carter both seem to have things to learn about the real world and maybe this little ploy is one way to learn. Alastair needs to understand that not every rich boy has everything he needs, and Carter needs to understand there are better ways to be seen. #1-malexmale tag: 2/17/2024 #8-boyxboy tag: 3/2/2024 #4-badboy tag: 3/24/2024

Book Two of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy. These books can be read as stand-alone novels, but it is recommended they be read in order. THIS IS A CHRISTMAS BOOK. WINDSOR TRIPLET TWO: THE SELFLESS TRIPLET ACE VILLAN: Ah, I was only trying to help him. The media saw us together with a ring on his finger, his mistake, and now they have labeled us as engaged. I didn't deny it. After everything he has gone through, I wanted to help him. Cade Windsor is magnificent. I wasn't sure what drew me to him. He has identical triplet brothers, and to me, I only see him. Ever since the moment we met in the break room of my company over a year ago, I couldn't stop myself from being pulled toward him. The only problem is-I've spent my entire life believing I was straight, and this little show we have to put on has me questioning a lot of things. The biggest question I have to answer comes from one drunken kiss and the way I felt when it happened. Maybe I have a few things to learn about myself. But I know one thing, loving Cade Windsor will not be a hardship. CADE WINDSOR: Ace Beckett not only told the media we were engaged, he told me it was to help shove them away from the nightmare my parents caused. I was tired of being tagged as the emotionally abused adult because his parents didn't love anyone but themselves. Now, Ace had me agree to keep up this little ruse to the media-he said it would be fun. But I'm hiding things from him. Things that would end our friendship if he ever found out, and I didn't want that. I am in love with him, and it happened completely by accident. I thought I could handle it. Then, one drunken night, he kisses me, and it changed everything for me. I want to pull away while keeping him close. My brain and heart are fighting for dominance. He is someone I can't have, but something I want. But one thing was for certain. Even though it hurt, loving him was no hardship.

Book Three of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy. READ THESE IN ORDER. TRIPLET THREE: THE DEFAMED TRIPLET CAMERON WINDSOR: Eight years ago, I lost everything. The love of my life. My brothers. My sanity. Asher Adair is the love of my life. That's right, he still is. He always will be. But because I told a lie that I didn't realize was a lie at the time, he can't even look at me. I don't blame him. I haven't righted my lie. I didn't know how. The story goes: I cheated on him. But I didn't. I only thought I did. I didn't remember that night. I remembered waking up with no recollection-next to someone I didn't recognize, and without any clothes. I rushed to tell Asher, to apologize, and tell him that I didn't remember, but he rightfully ended our relationship. But it doesn't stop there. As I went to drag myself to talk to my brothers, I received an email. That email started it all. A video of my assault was used against me as blackmail to get things from me. Now, he's been arrested. I'm trying to heal from my demons. But I have to wonder if telling Asher the truth would be worth it. I'm damaged. It's been too long. I can't go back and change that day. I can't go back and tell myself to run back to Asher with the truth. I only have now. And when he finds out, he starts making it impossible to stay away. Because he helps me remember who I used to be, and who I still can be. ASHER ADAIR: Eight years ago, on the morning I find out that my company has garnered interest because of a very popular YouTuber promoted my game-the love of my life told me he cheated on me. We had a future. A plan. And it all went down the drain. I never understood what I did wrong to the point I didn't even want to know. I was happy to be on my own. Or, so I thought. Then my entire world comes crashing down. Everything I thought was true, suddenly wasn't anymore.

LANDON LUNA: College is finally over, and I get to go on a road trip for one month before I enter the real world. Yet, I never expected to see Everest signed up, and more than that, he requested me to be his partner for the trip. I've known Everest since we were thirteen, but he doesn't remember it. That's okay. I suspect the night we met wasn't a good one for him, and maybe it's best he doesn't remember. But now we are scouring across the east side of the U.S., and I'm starting to wonder if everything I did for Everest was in the name of something else. Something more meaningful. Something I should have understood sooner. Damn my brain. It takes me far too long to understand the proper context and even longer to grasp the meaning of my feelings. I might be in love with him. Oh, and I was diagnosed with autism a year ago, and I never told anyone. So, there is that. EVEREST PIERCE: I love him. I love Landon Luna without conditions. Without expectations. Without the need for more. And I love him with my entire heart. I wasn't the nicest person in high school. Not to anyone except the ball of bubbly sunshine. The one who waved at me every single day. But I was a goner the moment he said hello to me in my Junior year of high school when he was partnered with me on a project. Now, I need to figure out how to keep my feelings on lockdown through this trip. Because I find myself wanting. I want him, and I don't know that I am worthy enough to have him.

LANDON LUNA: Someone is directly targeting me-making me out to be Elijah Moon's stalker. I'm not. And in an attempt to combat against the person who accused me, I also make choices I immediately regret. Elijah has been instructed, by me, to stay out of it. I can handle this. Choices are a funny thing when they're made in the name of protection. I needed to protect him. Then GlimmerOfHope pops back up, and they're defending me against the madness. Who is Glimmer? Should I just tell everyone the truth? Wait, don't send me to Vegas with Everest while I'm drunk. Mistakes aren't made, but we definitely make some choices this time. EVEREST PIERCE: When I told Landon I loved him without limits and expectations, I saw the glint of uncertainty. And how could I blame him when the world is attacking him so brutally? My softhearted, compassionate, loving ray of sunshine has a dark cloud looming over him. Landon kept trying to convince me everything is fine when it clearly is not fine. No matter. I promised him I would stand beside him. And I don't go back on the promises I make. I waited too long to give up. Every time I look at him, I see our happy future together. I'm a man who's remained silent for far too long, though. So, when Landon hits his breaking point quickly because the world refuses to leave him alone, I know what I need to do. I might have been a man who remained silent... But maybe it's time I break my silence. And fight for and beside the one I love.

LENNOX HART: I understand that my impulses get the best of me sometimes. I tend to regret my actions after everything is said and done. But I do not regret quitting as Elijah Moon's manager. Whatever dark and twisted entity lives within Elijah, it's clear I can't exorcise it. After he yells at me in front of the world, I choose to raise my white flag and run. Landon welcomes me with open arms, except he has a devious plan brewing. I see it forming and taking shape when Elijah shows up on Landon's doorstep carrying suitcases full of animosity. I refuse to bend; I refuse to break. But when I'm made to play house with the mini Devil, I start to realize there are more ways to break than I initially thought. ELIJAH LUNA: There has been a dark cloud over my head since I found out what fame could really do to my family. My brother suffered at the hands of my fans, and I haven't figured out how to forgive myself. I made a vow never to let another person fall victim to the cruel nature of my fame. I didn't want to push him away, but if I let him any closer than our metaphorical ten-foot distance, they would hurt him. Lennox is far too precious to me and I won't watch the world tear him apart, too. Then he quits in the middle of a heated argument, and suddenly, it feels like the sun fell out of the sky. I recluse. Until I get an angry phone call from my brother. Now, I'm decorating Christmas trees and playing house with Lennox. Every single one of his words has a bite, and he's made it perfectly clear that he won't forgive me. But that was said before we both broke apart into a million shards of our past.

I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.

It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.
