What happens when your first heartbreak becomes your biggest distraction? --- Everyone at Henley University knows Logan Adams, the charming 6'3 star forward with an easy smile and eyes you could drown in. But I remember the boy before all of that. The one who watched Marvel movies with me, who fell on the ice more times than he'd ever admit, and who promised we'd always be friends. That was years ago. I haven't seen him since our high school graduation, long after we stopped being friends. Now I'm transferring to Henley, and working as a student medical assistant for the hockey team. For the first time in years, I'll be around Logan... The boy who broke my heart without ever realizing it was in his hands. *****Updates Daily!!!***** ****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels. Before the Buzzer is the first book in the series, but you can choose to read in any order!*****

Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.

What starts as a casual "friends with benefits" arrangement with Ace spirals into something more complicated. Ace doesn't just want to be a friend anymore; he wants Brooks to see him as the boyfriend he's always dreamed of being. Brooks, however, must confront his feelings and decide if love might look different than he imagined. If you want Jayden and Tate story. Read "The Illegal Play" coming out soon....!

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
