The BAU knows better than anyone that every decision has consequences. For almost a year, Y/N and Aaron Hotchner have danced around a connection neither of them is willing to acknowledge. He’s her boss. She’s fifteen years younger. There are too many reasons to ignore what’s quietly growing between them. Unfortunately, chemistry has never cared much about protocol.
For four years, Y/N has insisted that she and Jude Mercer were never together. Never mind the late nights, shared beds, jealousy, whispered I love yous, and countless failed attempts at being “just friends.” They never dated. At least, that’s what Y/N always tells the press. Then, after five months without speaking, Jude releases his newest single: “We Never Dated.” Everyone knows exactly who it’s about. For the first time in four years, Jude isn’t asking Y/N to choose him. He’s finally moving on. And Y/N is about to discover that she liked their arrangement a lot better when she was the one making the rules.
Eight years ago, Wyatt Callahan lost his wife in a storm. Since then, the widowed rancher has dedicated his life to his children, his ranch, and keeping everyone he loves safe. He doesn’t date. He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t let anyone get close. Not because women haven’t tried. Every woman in Cedar Creek has either had a crush on Wyatt Callahan, tried to set him up, or knows someone who has. He is the handsome cowboy everyone wants — successful, loyal, and the devoted father of two. The problem? Wyatt has no interest in being anyone’s second chance. Then Y/N arrives in Cedar Creek. She isn’t impressed by his reputation. She doesn’t see the town’s biggest catch. She sees the stubborn, grumpy rancher underneath — the man who carries his grief quietly, loves his children fiercely, and refuses to believe he deserves happiness again. Y/N doesn’t try to fix Wyatt. She doesn’t replace Hannah. She simply becomes part of his life. But when Wyatt realizes he’s falling for her, he has to face the one thing he’s spent eight years avoiding: Loving someone new doesn’t mean he loved the person he lost any less.

At a charity gala during AEC Media Days, you meet Nathan. No last names. No schools. No expectations. For one night, he’s just the stranger who makes you laugh. Until the next morning, when you discover he isn’t just anyone. He’s Nathan Brooks. Former NFL superstar. Ashwood University’s head coach.

A Formula One superstar who understands pressure, but not the kind of fame that follows her everywhere. What begins as a chance meeting in Monaco becomes stolen moments between concerts and race weekends, until Luca becomes the one person who makes Y/N feel like she’s more than just a celebrity.

Y/N Sinclair has spent her entire life being told exactly where she belongs. Born into one of Figure Eight’s oldest families, she’s supposed to spend her last summer before college at the beach club—not chasing centuries-old treasure with the Pogues. Too bad nobody told her that. Now Y/N finds herself knee-deep in the Royal Merchant gold hunt alongside John B, Sarah, JJ, Pope, and Kiara, lying to her parents about where she’s been, outrunning people who want the treasure for themselves, and somehow crossing paths with Deputy Caleb Hayes far more often than either of them would like. Falling for a deputy was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming a Pogue. But in the Outer Banks, plans have a funny way of washing out with the tide.

The one person who understands the impossible position she has been placed in is Nathan Hale, the royal press secretary who has spent years protecting the crown’s image. He knows every secret, every crisis, and every sacrifice behind the palace walls. He also knows that loving the future queen could destroy everything they have both worked to protect.

When Y/N chooses Nathan, the country must decide whether the man who spent his life defending the monarchy is worthy of standing beside it. For ninety days, America watches. And this time, the story cannot be controlled.
Y/N has spent years building a life most people only dream about. Born and raised in Nashville, she’s become the biggest female artist in country music through relentless hard work, unforgettable songwriting, and an unwavering love for the city that raised her. To the world, she’s America’s sweetheart. Privately, she’s learned that fame makes it difficult to know who genuinely cares and who simply loves the spotlight surrounding her. Noah “Goldie” Walker is the Nashville Predators’ golden boy in every sense of the word. A star forward with an endless supply of kindness, patience, and optimism, he’s known throughout the league as the teammate everyone wants, the player fans adore, and the man who somehow manages to make everyone around him feel important.

What they don’t expect is a year-long will that forces them to remain at Blackthorne Manor under strict conditions… or the sixth name reading aloud. Y/N. No connection. No explanation.

As the Blackthorne family unravels under grief, control, and buried resentment, Y/N becomes the center of a mystery no one was meant to solve.

Three Olympic Games, multiple gold medals, and Y/N still has one goal left: make history by competing again at twenty-eight. Nikola “Niko” Vuković has two NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and absolutely no idea why she keeps calling twenty-eight old. She’s bubbly, sarcastic, fiercely competitive, and proudly Team USA.

When Y/N returns to the small beach town of Briar Cove for the first time in ten years, she expects nothing to have changed—and everything to feel different. She’s right on both counts. The waves still roll in the same way they did when she was seventeen. The boardwalk still creaks under late-night footsteps. And the summer still smells like salt, sunscreen, and memories she thought she’d outgrown. But nothing prepares her for James. He’s next door. Older now, quieter in the ways that matter, and impossible to ignore. Because Briar Cove doesn’t just bring people back—it brings back who they used to be. And for Y/N, that means the summer she never really stopped waiting for… and the boy she never really stopped loving. Some places don’t let you move on. Some summers don’t end. And some people only make sense when you finally come back to them. *Meant to be read from the perspective of Y/N being Taylor Swift’s “Betty”

It’s everyone else who seems to have an opinion about how they’re allowed to love each other.

Aleksei Morozov has three rules: play hard, never trust Americans, and never sleep with the same woman twice.
