BAD BOYS IN LOVE, BOOK 1 When high-school quarterback, Harvey Remington's whole family passes away in a brutal car accident, he loses all will to live. That's until he discovers that he's not completely alone, that there's one survivor; his baby nephew. All hopes of raising the kid himself come crashing down when he's informed that his arch-nemesis' family, the über-rich Kincaids, are the godparents who will be given custody of the baby. With no stable income and no living relatives to support him, getting guardianship seems impossible. The solution? Marriage. ● "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Gideon Elijah Kincaid and Harvey Zak Remington in holy matrimony. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." I press my lips together to prevent myself from shouting at the top of my lungs that I do. Yes, I have a huge problem with marrying my arch-nemesis, and I'd like to be NOT tied to this asshole 'till death' - or for the few years until I'm up on my own feet - thank you very much. Gideon narrows his dark silver eyes at me as he squeezes my hands in his grip, silently warning me to maintain my slipping composure. I take a deep breath and let my eyes wander over to the side - where my very adorable nephew is sitting on Gideon's mom's lap, bouncing excitedly as he watches all the bright lights and decor with the awe-filled wide eyes that only babies can pull off. My heart clenches at the sight because the oblivious baby has no clue that his whole world has been ripped away from under him, that I am the only person he has left. I sigh internally at the unfairness of it all. With a renewed determination to do everything I possibly can to do right by the little human, I steel myself and give Gideon a wide smile, doing my best to make it seem like he's the most important person to me on the planet. I can do this. I can stay married to the bad boy.

Ezra Harland, dubbed as the ultimate ladies man and the suave player who breaks girls' hearts left and right, is off to college. His bad boy ways, timely quips, sweet as fuck charms, and horny as hell Beta-blood make him the most irresistible combination to walk the earth. After being surrounded by happy couples 24/7, he has given up his pursuit of 'The One', and is heading to HillBridge Uni at his Alphas' insistence, expecting the worst few years of his life ahead of him. Theon Berkeley, a player who plays the players. You think you've met bad boys, before? Think again. His dark, brooding personality and silent, mysterious-aura are what that labeled him the worst of them all, the king of the bad boys. After wiping out the entirety of the female population in his little pack and bored out of his mind without new options, he's off to HillBridge Uni, where girls are aplenty and the fun never ends. Nyah Pineda, commonly known as the second born kid who had to step in and become the Alpha at the last minute. Although, don't ever make the mistake of assuming she's the good-girl she used to be. After almost tearing apart the mouths that said she couldn't do it and taking down the five men who challenged her for it, she developed a backbone of steel and an attitude to match. Following the year she took off to perfect her responsibilities, she's finally gotten enough time to breathe. And, to go to college. Three vivid personalities. Three different stories. All hoping for a change. When fates inevitably bring them together, they all can't help being baffled by the impossibility of the situation. How was the Beta supposed to give up his position and move? How were two straight guys supposed to be each other's Mates? How was the female Alpha supposed to have two Mates, when she wasn't even ready for one? The solution? Go with the flow and share Nyah. No 'homo', whatsoever. Too bad for them, the Mate-bond didn't work that way. It was either all or nothing.

There are characters tragically ignored by the fandom. There are under-appreciated side characters never given the chance to shine as they should. And then there are those one-liners, those brilliant characters who only appear in a glimmer of internal monologue, only to be lost within the pages a mere paragraph later. This, my friends, is where the true injustice lies. This is the story of one of those characters. A character who had the chance to triumph, to shine, to take center stage and steal the day. But tragically, she dropped the ball.
