Between Two Captains

The most dangerous rivalry at Bridgewater State was never on the ice. Everyone thinks you belong to Adam Sutton, the hockey captain, your childhood best friend, and the boy you have spent years almost kissing. He knows your past, your habits, your favorite seat at every game. He knows everything except the parts of yourself you stopped showing him. Then Jack Taylor walks into enemy territory. Northlake University’s captain is supposed to be off-limits. He is dark hair, blue eyes, whiskey, leather, and trouble, with a smile sharp enough to make you forget every warning you have ever been given. He came to Bridgewater for one reason. You. Now Adam is watching you like he is finally realizing he could lose you, and Jack is looking at you like he already knows exactly how to win. One captain has your history. The other wants your truth. And this season, the hardest hit will not happen on the ice.

The Rival Line

The fastest men on the grid should have known better than to chase the same girl. After your father's death, you walked away from Hartwell Racing, the team he built, the legacy he left behind, and the private driving talent everyone swore could have made you dangerous. Now you are back as the team's inherited owner and documentary coordinator, pretending the paddock does not still feel like home. Then qualifying turns vicious. Sebastian Vale, Hartwell's star driver and your father's former protégé, nearly crashes after a reckless move from Luca Cross, Orion Apex's charming, dangerous rival driver. Sebastian is controlled, furious, and tied to every part of the life you abandoned. Luca is temptation in a racing suit, looking at you like the race just changed. And then there is Enzo Moretti. Luca's teammate should be nothing more than another beautiful problem in the paddock. Smooth, sarcastic, and loyal to a fault, Enzo hides behind charm until he starts noticing everything no one else does: your fake smile, your shaking hands, the way grief still follows you through the garage. One driver carries your father's legacy. One makes you remember why you loved speed. One sees you clearly and waits anyway. And this season, the most dangerous overtake will not happen on the track.

Bad Blood County

You swore you would never come back to Hollow Creek. Not after the rumors. Not after the night you left with your heart in pieces. Not after everything the town let happen. But when your mother dies suddenly, you return home with one plan: clean out the old house, sell it, and leave before the past can sink its claws into you again. Instead, the house gives you one last thing your mother left behind. A hidden journal. Its first page contains a warning that changes everything. Now the sheriff who never stopped watching over you wants the journal before you can read it. The town’s most dangerous outlaw somehow already knows you’ve found it. And as old secrets begin crawling out from beneath Hollow Creek’s floorboards, you realize your mother may not have simply died. She may have been silenced. Beau wants you safe. Knox wants you awake. One man is the law. The other has spent his life running from it. Somewhere between the sheriff’s protection and the outlaw’s warning lies the truth Hollow Creek buried alive.

Blood Memory

You came to Blackthorn Hall to restore a portrait. You did not expect the woman in it to have your face. Modern art restoration specialist Rose Winston has always dreamed of a place she has never been: black stone, candlelit halls, blood on white silk, and a man’s voice begging her not to leave him. When she is hired to restore the private Veyr collection at an isolated gothic estate in the Carpathian mountains, she arrives with Cassian Thorn, her protective boyfriend, who knows far more about the house than he admits. Then Rose finds the portrait. It is centuries old. It looks exactly like her. And the owner of Blackthorn Hall, Nikolai Veyr, looks at her like he has been waiting three hundred years to breathe again. Nikolai is elegant, immortal, and haunted by the woman he loved and watched die in his arms. Cassian is a hunter sworn to keep Rose away from him, even if protecting her means lying to her. One man remembers the soul she used to be. One loves the woman she is now. But Rose is not a memory. She is not a prize. And as Blackthorn Hall begins waking around her, she must uncover why her soul keeps returning before the blood that remembers her decides her fate for her.
