ThaliaOnly regret the things you haven't done.A cheap motel or the guest bedroom of Newport's infamous heartbreaker?

Having escaped a dark past and started over with only three suitcases, I'm not guided by pride but survival instinct.Taking the plunge, I soon find Theo's magnetic pull impossible to resist. I should keep...

CassidyEveryone makes mistakes. Some we brush off with time. Others live in our heads rent-free for longer. For ever.Not many of us make mistakes that destroy our chance at a real, meaningful relationship. I did.A mistake that should've never happened to someone like me—a scholar student, a well-behaved, obedient foster daughter, a charity volunteer.That mistake was none other than Theo Hayes.

He awoke needs and desires I didn't know existed, but no matter how strong the pull between us grows, Nico doesn't want to want me.He keeps me at arm's length, so I defy all my in...

BlairHe hates me.One year stands between me and freedom. No more jumping through hoops. No more hurt, humiliation, and degradation. One year. I just need to keep it together. Easy, right?Maybe, if not for my new neighbor, Cody Hayes. There are only two things he and I agree on: we both hate me, and we're both certain I don't deserve forgiveness. As our silent treatment morphs into polite hellos and then into something much more phys...

ConorI kissed her. She slapped me... and then told me to ask her to dinner, only to cancel the date ten minutes later.After watching my older brothers fall in love, I knew it was a matter of time before I'd be the one mindlessly losing my head over a girl, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast. I was supposed to buy a house, get a job, and spend the next few years enjoying my youth before submitting to one woman for the rest of my life.Fate had d...

HAILEYOne man. Two names. Two personalities.One captivates, the other terrifies.Under the pretense of love, he used me, searching for secrets I didn't know I had. Cuddles, kisses, and whispered sweet nothings lulled me into a false sense of security that shattered with a single flashback.Running from the threat I now know he is, I fall straight into a nightmare… and the darkness reveals the truths.I’m not the center of Nash’s world. I’m...

KOBYI’ve done a lot of questionable things in my life, but obsessing over a woman I saw twice tops the list. One look at Leilani Hale and something inside me cracked open. She’s all I want, but keeping her close is far from simple. She spent years locked in a dollhouse, stripped of her autonomy, and when she finally breaks free, obedience is the last thing on her mind. She fights. She yells. She spills my blood and bruises my skin. And then she kisses me like she’l...
