At 23, Maya Reed is all sunshine and sparkles, the kind of girl who lights up a room without even trying. She's in nursing school, chasing her dreams with a smile and a heart wide open-even if her past hasn't always been kind. So when her brother's best friend, the infamously brooding and distant Julian West, shows up at their family reunion, Maya sets her sights on a new mission: get him to crack a smile. Maybe even a real one.
Julian, 27, is a guarded tech CEO with a past he doesn't talk about and walls that no one dares to climb. Except Maya. She's everything he's not-open, warm, chaotic in a way that's magnetic. She's also completely off-limits.
But what starts as a playful challenge turns into something deeper, and the closer Maya gets, the more Julian's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. She's determined to show him there's still joy to be found in the world-especially when it's with her

But as Maya knows, just when things start to feel right is usually when they begin to go wrong. When she finds out that someone is following her and wants to see her fairytale ending go up in flames, will she rely on those around her or handle it herself as she has had to do her whole life?

The Mason Way
He's sworn to protect her like a sister. Too bad his heart never got the memo. Seven years ago, Logan Mason watched Maya Torres get dragged out of the stands by her drunk father-while the head cheerleader, Alexandria Caldwell, whispered she'd never be good enough for him. Now he's the town's golden boy turned mechanic-slash-football coach, and she's still the one person he can't stop wanting... even if she's off-limits. Maya's barely keeping her head above water, working at Annie Mason's art studio, dodging her father's shadow, and dealing with Alexandria's constant digs that she's a charity case. The last thing she needs is Logan offering to "fix" things. But in a small coastal town where storms roll in fast and gossip moves faster, you can only dodge the truth for so long. And when protecting her means stepping over every line he's drawn... Logan will have to decide if following The Mason Way means keeping his distance or fighting for the girl he's always wanted.Concluída

Hidden Desire
It's been thirteen years since Tyler has seen Mikey for more than just a handful of minutes in a passing visit. A ten year age difference hadn't stopped her crush, not after the fateful day he'd saved her life; he'd been home for Christmas, visiting his sister Val, who's married to Tyler's older brother, Reggie. Val had given birth to their first baby on Thanksgiving, and that Christmas was the first time Mikey was coming home to see him. As Tyler had been leaving the house, she'd slipped on the ice, hitting her head and knocking herself out. If Mikey hadn't found her when he did, rushed her to the emergency room, she would have died of hypothermia. That's when her obviously unreciprocated crush had started. She'd known him all her life. She was nothing more than his best friend's kid sister, the one he barely saw since making it to the N.B.A. and having spent the last ten years playing out in California. But he's home now, having been traded to Washington, the same city Tyler just happens to be going to school in. At twenty-one can she finally catch his attention? Can she finally tell him about her crush? The one she's had for the last five years. Will he ever see her as anything other than his best friend's little sister?Concluída
