Hayes Callahan has spent years telling Y/N the same thing. One day, she’d be his wife. One day, they’d have a family. One day, she’d stop getting on a plane every few months just to say goodbye all over again. Neither of them expected “one day” to arrive while they were twenty, attending different colleges, and living hundreds of miles apart. Now Y/N has a positive pregnancy test, Hayes is chasing an NHL dream in North Dakota, and life suddenly looks nothing like the plan they made as teenagers. Long distance was already hard. This might be their biggest test yet.
For two years, Beau Maxwell and the protagonist have made long distance work. Different universities. Different schedules. Different states. It wasn’t always easy, but it was always worth it. So when Beau heads back to Briar for junior year, he’s preparing for another semester of FaceTime calls, airport reunions, and counting down the days until he sees his girlfriend again. What he doesn’t know is that she’s secretly transferred to Briar. And thanks to Dean Di Laurentis, she’s currently hiding in the hockey house waiting to ruin his entire evening.
With nowhere else to go, you’re forced to move in with the older brother who disappeared from your life two years ago — and into the dangerous world he built without you. What was supposed to be temporary quickly turns complicated when living under his protection means sharing space with people who don’t trust outsiders, secrets that never stay buried, and a city where loyalty matters more than innocence. In a world full of violence, tension, and blurred lines, the safest place you can go might also be the hardest one to escape.
A year ago, she left Briar for a volleyball exchange program overseas, expecting to come back and pick up where she left off. A year later, she's finally home. Unfortunately, so are all the feelings she thought distance would fix—especially the ones involving John Logan.
Three years after leaving the neighborhood she grew up in, she returns to Blackwater for her father’s birthday expecting nothing more than a short visit and old memories. Instead, coming home forces her back into the lives of the people she never fully stopped loving — her loud, affectionate family, the neighborhood that still feels like home no matter how dangerous it can be, and Zion Reed, the cocky ex-boyfriend she thought she had moved on from years ago. But in Blackwater, nobody forgets anything for long.
Everyone says finding your mate changes everything. The problem? Rowan Mercer already found the love of his life years ago. After seven years together, {y/n} knows his family, his pack, and the secret he’s kept since before they ever started dating. But when Rowan turns nineteen and his wolf finally awakens to the mate bond, the relationship they built through choice is suddenly challenged by instinct. Now, they have to learn whether fate can strengthen what already exists… or change it forever
They were each other’s first love, right up until college sent them in different directions. Two years later, a volleyball tournament, an unexpected invitation, and one weekend in Boston bring them back into the same room for the first time since they said goodbye. Turns out, moving on is a lot easier when you don’t have to see each other.
For almost two years, Y/N convinced herself that love was supposed to feel exhausting. She forgave more than she should have, accepted less than she deserved, and spent far too long believing that if she loved Jake Lawson enough, eventually he’d choose her the way she chose him. He never did. So she walked away. Months later, she’s happier than she ever thought possible with Wesley Hayes—a man who proves that love isn’t supposed to leave you questioning your worth. Then one crowded party forces her past and present into the same room. Jake expected heartbreak. He expected anger. He never expected indifference. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t watching someone move on. It’s realizing they already have.
