Kain Erikson tried and failed at marriage. Within a matter of moments, everything he'd earned in his life seemed lost. Withdrawing to mindless flings and booze-filled nights, the only real spark in his life came from owning Haze, a club that was getting hotter than the minute. Life seemed fine, lonely, but easy. He never expected to meet another girl that made him look twice. Then a cute little bookworm named Skylar Gray dropped into his life.
Skylar never expected to live a fairytale. She'd worked hard to put herself through school and make her name known in the publishing business. Her life was simple, her friends were great and everything was going according to plan... Until she got drunk and found herself being harassed by a couple of men. Saved by a man with beautiful eyes and a complicated past, Skylar struggled to ignore her feelings for him. After all, bad boys weren't her type. But even as she fought to stay professional, Kain's sweet words and soft-touch awakened parts of her that had been dormant for ages.
Can Kain get over his past and forge a future with his bookworm? Will Skylar let herself experience something new and dangerous? Or will they both run away and stick to what they know?

He responds, hope gleaming in his eyes. I look up at the bright moon shining down on us as the breeze ruffles my hair. "Come with you?" I question. Just as he nods my dizziness takes over, sending me to the ground. His hands wrap around me, barely catching me. "Don't let them hurt me."

The Sunshine Project: Book One (bxb) ✔️
Book one of three in the Project Trilogy MUST BE READ IN ORDER EMERY GRAY: I'm the friend who likes doing cute things for my friends if I notice they aren't mentally doing well. I enjoy making uplifting cards or beaded bracelets just so they can smile. I do this for holidays, too, because I know the holidays can be hard for some. I never knew my friend group was secretly against me the entire time. After overhearing them laugh at my expense, I'm about to walk away. When I turn, I slam right into a very tall wall of muscle that sends me backward before another hand shoots out and catches my elbow before I fall. When I look up, I see them. The infamous Triple-A. Everyone hates them. They don't trust anyone. They're cruel. Those are all things I've heard but never witnessed. After they drag me away from my supposed group of friends, they offer me a safe place with them. I decline. I declined because my brother would have my head if I accepted. If Ellis found out I befriended the group he hated, I wouldn't know what to do. But a member of Triple-A has noticed me. Alaric Benson. The jokester. The class-clown. The one with the amazing hazel eyes that I start getting lost in. No, I can't befriend Triple-A, but the offer becomes harder to resist when I realize how alone I feel. I befriended them, and they started helping me find out who I am. They aren't cruel like everyone believes. Not unless they have to be. So, where did everyone get this idea? Oh, god, someone help me. I don't know how much longer I can resist Alaric Benson. Falling in love with him is a recipe for disaster! Right? If my brother finds out, I don't know what will happen, but I can't resist him anymore. Screw the damage I'll take from the fallout. It's my life, and I need to remember that.Complete
