    ||Coach's daughter. Off-limits. Sharp. Quick. Untouchable. And somehow the most magnetic thing I'd seen since stepping foot in Alabama. She was exactly my type. And the worst part? I didn't even know I had a type until right now.|| •••• BOOK ONE OF A TWO BOOK SERIES - BOOK TWO DROPPING NOW Scout Quinn never planned to fall for Roman Tate. In fact, when Alabama's cocky transfer quarterback showed up, she couldn't stand him. He was arrogant, infuriating-and off-limits as her father's star player. She's thrown into his orbit when she starts working for the ops team under the offensive coordinator, coach Renyolds. Her walls are tall, but if anyone likes a challenge, it's Roman Tate. The season has a way of stripping down the walls she's built from years of grief, starvation, and fear. What started as sharp arguments and late-night confessions turned into stolen moments and a connection Scout never saw coming. Now, with the Tide chasing a national championship and the cameras closing in, Romans mask is slipping-and Scout has to decide if she's willing to risk everything for the man behind it. ••Strong mentions of EDs + drunk driving••

    She feared him more than anything-until he became the only place she felt safe. After escaping years of abuse, Lina found a fragile kind of peace scrubbing floors in a mercenary's mansion. Quiet, invisible, and broken, she kept her head down and her voice lower. Especially around him. Killian. He kills for a living. He is a powerful, cold-blooded mercenary, a wealthy man who built his empire off blood, fear. He owns a powerful private military company that operates in the shadows, answering only to the highest bidders. He commands killers, closes deals, and never makes mistakes. Until her. A glance. A flinch. A wound she tried to hide. And suddenly, he was watching her closely. Quietly. Like she was a puzzle he didn't mean to touch... but couldn't stop obsessing over. Killian: "You blush like that again, and I swear I'll pin you against this wall just to see how deep it goes." He didn't know how to be soft. She didn't know how to be wanted. But in a house full of violence, he saw her. And he started to change. And soon, she was everywhere in his mind.

    Some people don't leave your life. They just... stay quieter. Ava learned how to live without him. Without the chaos. Without the late nights, the almosts, and everything that never quite felt like enough. She was fine. Until she wasn't. Because seeing Josh again didn't feel like closure. It felt like something unfinished. One night turned into something dangerous - stolen looks, lingering touches, crossed lines, and a pull neither of them could ignore. Josh knows he doesn't deserve another chance. Ava knows she shouldn't give him one. But the problem isn't whether she still wants him. It's that she remembers exactly how it feels to be close to him... and how quickly she loses herself when she is. And this time- if she lets him back in, she might not walk away again.

    Maya works the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store, watching the same hours blur together under flickering lights and empty aisles. Then the same woman starts coming in every night. She never buys much. Just lingers. Watches. Smiles like she already knows how this ends. Maya tells herself it's nothing-just another strange customer. Until people start avoiding the store when she's there. Until the air changes when she walks in. Until one touch leaves Maya unable to think straight. Nyx isn't human. She feeds on desire. She doesn't stay. She doesn't feel. But she keeps coming back. And the more she does, the harder it becomes to tell who's hunting who.
