Rowan Alanna O'Connor isn't the kind of girl who lets people in easily. With her sharp tongue, sarcastic humor, and a heart that she's not sure how to protect, she's built a wall around herself that only a few can break through. Always up for an adrenaline rush and her own kind of fun, she's never been one to rely on anyone-until her twin brother's best friend comes crashing into her life.
Lachlan Ashford is everything Rowan doesn't need. Reckless, gruff, and way too handsome for his own good, he's got a reputation that makes him the last guy any girl thinks to trust. But there's one thing that Rowan can't deny: he's always been there, and whether she likes it or not, he always will be. When the two are thrown together in close quarters during a blizzard, sparks fly-both in passion and in frustration.
As the two navigate their undeniable chemistry, they're forced to confront their shared past, the secrets they keep hidden, and the growing tension between them. But when emotions run deep and the lines between love and hate blur, can they survive the storm that's brewing between them? Or will their unresolved feelings destroy everything they've spent years trying to avoid?
Amid playful teasing, secret tattoos, and the undeniable pull of fate, Rowan and Lachlan find themselves questioning everything they thought they knew about love, trust, and the lengths they'll go to protect the one person who matters most.

Forced into late nights, backstage tension, and whispered fights no one else hears, they become a battleground of deflections, glares, and dangerously close moments that feel more like promises than threats.

"Then stop looking at me like you already know how I break." As secrets bleed and emotions snap, what started as hate burns into something far more dangerous. Because the line between enemies and obsession? It only takes one step to cross. And neither of them is backing down. what happens when two souls meant for each other finally reunites after 8 years?
Goodbye Heartbreak (Book Four)
This isn't your average meet-cute. In fact, it's not cute at all. Rowan Ward is a tattooed florist with a soft heart and a sharp tongue. He likes his solitude, craves his routines, and absolutely panics when his roommate announces he's moving to California. Past trauma makes change feel like a threat, and Rowan doesn't do well with being left behind. Piper Kerrigan is fresh off a fallout with her sorority sister, a college scandal that scorched her family ties, and a sudden eviction that leaves her scrambling for a new place to live. She's just trying to stay afloat while working for event-planning royalty Savannah Monroe Remington and pretending everything's fine. So when Rowan offers up his spare bedroom, Piper is... hesitant. Because it's Rowan. Mysterious. Moody. Tattooed in ways that should not be legal. But also Rowan is safe, gay (probably), and weirdly comforting. Two single roommates. One shared space. Zero romantic expectations. They bond over caffeine, sarcasm, and their mutual hatred of Valentine's Day. But when Piper misreads a key piece of Rowan's identity, what started as a safe arrangement quickly starts feeling like a threat, to her comfort, her rules, and her no-dating-roommates policy. Because this isn't a love story built on fate or convenience. This is an anti-meet-cute. And things are about to get very, very complicated.Concluída

Cami Fitzpatrick knows what it's like to lose her breath-her asthma sees to that. But nothing leaves her more breathless than seeing him again: Adam Martinez, her former best friend, standing on the doorstep of her college dorm. Three years ago, Adam was her safe place-when Cami was lonely, insecure, and drowning in self-doubt, he was the one who saw past it all. But she cut him off cold when he hurt the one person she swore to protect-her sister. Since then, Cami has rebuilt herself from the ground up: stronger, braver, and determined to never be someone's second choice again. Adam's back, though, and he's not the same boy she remembers-he's older, sharper, haunted by regrets, and clearly hiding something.

Their reunion is messy, filled with snark and unresolved resentment, but beneath the anger is something deeper-yearning, history, and something dangerously close to love.
