She gets a glimpse of his life no one else does and it excites her. Jacob Blackwood gets bored with the women he's dating easily. No one holds his interest. He is searching for the one who gets his heart racing. Then one night at a party he is certain he finally found the one. Yet she is so eager to run away from him. Is that why she intrigues him?

After being dumped on her on her 21st birthday, Bailey James rebounds right into the arms of her ex's biggest competition, Chase Carter: Antagonizer, womanizer, and infamous left winger for the Boyd University Falcons. Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team's #1 rival. But a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up... Until she throws up on his shoes. Caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena, Bailey and Chase are on opposite sides of the bench. He's worked his entire life to secure a future in the NHL. She's tagged along for the ride while her brother, star defensive for their school's team, has done the same.

Ingrid Rodríguez A 20-year-old girl who knows almost to nothing of the outside world. Her strict parents made her see what they wanted her to see. They wanted her away from the outside world so much that they put her in online school throughout her entire life. She was too timid and shy to talk back to anyone, which led to years of people walking over her. Her older sister is one of the main ones. Her aging grandmother is the only person who understands what she's going through and desperately wants to take her away from it all. Tristian Locke A 25-year-old tattoo artist who believes his heart is broken beyond repair. His mother, who has experienced painful trauma is now in a state of shock. His father, who is a lawyer, wants his son to get out of the phase he is in so he can have a "real" profession... so it seems.

On the outside, Tristian is calm and subtle, but on the inside, he has pent-up anger that he only releases accidentally or while training in the gym. His mother, alone, is the very reason he hasn't completely broken yet and is the source of all his inspiration. Tristian no longer believes in love. His father being the worst example of what love should be, is painted into his mind.

Throw in competitions, dares, and things that weren't likely to occur and you have Bailey, and her roommate, Carter. ~∞~ "You're starting to sag." I gasped loudly and pushed Carter down the rest of the stairs. He was laughing loudly. "I'm kidding. Your ass looks fine." He grabbed my butt and made a beeline to his car before I could get him back. I felt violated. "This affection you're showing must stop." I slammed his car door shut. "Whoa. Don't mess with the interior." I opened the door and slammed it shut once more. "Bailey. I will start my car and drive. Then while I'm driving, I will throw you out the car." "No you won't because you can't kill me. I'm too pretty to die." I said. He snorted.

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "I'm good at other things too, sweetheart," His voice was gruff and husky, my lips unconsciously parting in a daze. He's standing dangerously close to me, trapping me between him and my cupboards. The tension is suffocating and thick, my brain seemingly unable to produce simple words for a slight second. But the seduction emerges after a moment, "I think you're just egotistical." It comes out as a whisper and my lips teasingly curl into a small, challenging smile. He quirks his brows at this, setting the glass down with a clink and placing both of his hands on either side of me. "I'm happy to show you." *** Adaline Berkeley is a twenty-three year old, young divorcee, recently catching her husband's infidelity.

It's against Mr. Romano's rules," she said, her back towards him. Her long legs were on full display with her high black heels only making them appear longer. "You must be new. What's your name?" He chuckled out, licking his lips. Valentino grabbed her hips, turning her towards him as his eyes settled on her breasts. Slowly, his eyes trailed up to meet her eyes. "Anastasia.
