"This is not a romance. But it is a love story."
It's like this: Chance Piers' beloved niece, Chassi, is the main thing keeping his family together- they've promised to stay together for as long as she lives. But when a trip to the ER sends social services to their door demanding their niece, the Piers are given an ultimatum. They can find Chassi's mother, the boys' runaway sister, or they can give her away and chase their dreams.
In all of his sixteen years of life, Chance's brothers have taught him to persevere no matter the circumstances, but life has changed tactics: instead of trying to beat them down, it's trying to break them apart.

Victoria 'Ria' Winters is the youngest out of all her quadruplet sisters; the one with the dark humor and haunting past. That's why she worked so hard for scholarships abroad to get as far away as possible. All her sisters had their own challenges, but nothing compared to Ria's past. When a traumatic event when she was 11 repeated itself when she was a freshman in college, it nearly destroyed her like the 1st time. She's learned from an early age to trust no one. Especially not men. After an assault by Vlad Wolves, the younger brother of the star hockey captain Nikolai Wolves, Ria was dragged through a brutal court case that nearly ended her. Vlad, a master manipulator and narcissist, turned the tables, leaving Ria to bear the blame and forcing her to transfer schools to escape the shame. Now, three years later, Ria has rebuild her life at one of the best universities in the world, focused solely on her studies and her future.

Especially Nikolai Wolves who testified against her, as if the moron had even been there when his younger brother assaulted her. Forced to work together Victoria and Nikolai's mutual hatred ignites into a battle of wills. There sessions are a minefield of cutting remarks, icy glares, and unresolved anger. But beneath the venom, there's undeniable tension-attraction. Beneath the anger and hurt, they begin to uncover the truth about each other-and about Vlad.Complete
