BRISTOL The moment I researched Candy Cane Key, I knew it would be the perfect location for the photoshoot my boss has been hired to do. Who doesn’t love Christmas in July…or any time of year? Like with all the places I’ve traveled with the photographer I work for, I’m looking forward to seeing it in person. When I arrive at Candy Cane Key, it feels like the perfect place for a vacation even though I have to work. Hayden seems like the perfect guy to be my guide and help me find the right location for the shoot, even though he’s gruff and doesn’t seem to like me very much. I just need him to do his job and I’ll do mine. Hayden can’t help me find the perfect location and setting out on my own proves to be a disaster, one he saves me from while sparks fly between us. After finding the location, nothing about the shoot goes right and when I’m asked to be in front of the camera, with my curves on display, Hayden doesn’t seem happy. I’ve been falling in love with Candy Cane Key and Hayden, but maybe he’s not the right guy for me. If only my heart got the memo. HAYDEN I love everything about Candy Cane Key, except for the tourists. They don’t respect our little slice of Christmas heaven the same way the locals do. They’re always wanting something to capitalize on, but I try and push my resentment down because I have a business to run. Even though normally I charter private fishing trips, I take the job when someone reaches out about touring the island to find a spot for a photoshoot. I wasn’t prepared to meet Bristol, a curvy goddess who takes my breath away and makes me forget I have manners. I’m surly when it comes to her, and I can’t explain it; I should have known her stubbornness would get her in trouble. The way we clash puts her in a position where she needs me to rescue her, and I have to claim her. When I finally get the opportunity to see her work, nothing goes to plan and then she comes alive when given the chance to be in front of the camera. We’re so different and even though I know she’s mine, I don’t know if I can keep her. **18+  If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA.  It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Bristol is mentioned in Melinda’s Manster because she is Boone’s sister.** Jingle all the way back to Candy Cane Key and celebrate Christmas in July with the Man of the Month Club! This spin-off series features characters and places you already know and love, plus some fresh new faces. So join us for a scorching-hot jolly holiday on the beach!

CREW I’ve never been the lovestruck male waiting around for the hand that fate has dealt to bring me my mate. That doesn’t mean I didn’t want to find the other half of my soul because I did. The more years that have passed, while I witness more of my packmates finding their mates, loneliness has become a bitter pill to swallow. I have learned to rule as the Alpha of Golden Summit without a Luna by my side just fine. Now, I’m not sure I need my mate. Maybe my pack and I are better off without her. Or maybe she doesn’t exist at all. My heart has become hardened to the idea of a mate; there’s no reason to stop sampling the she-wolves who throw themselves at me. I never expected that my little sister coming home during her spring break from college would bring my mate right to my door. If that isn’t enough, Elodie is a human who has no idea that she’s mine or about the existence of shifters. How can she become my Luna? Should I accept her or resist the mate bond out of spite? Did the Moon Goddess get this wrong or is she testing me? ELODIE Until I met Tilly in college, I didn’t understand true friendship. I’ve been alone for so long and trying to find my way in the world. Tilly showed me what it means to have a sister, even if we aren’t blood related. She let me get away with refusing to go back to her home with her for a while, but she won’t be put off this time. Meeting Crew, Tilly’s brother, makes me feel things I’ve never experienced before. There’s a pull to him I don’t understand. That would be fine, but I don’t think he’s feeling the same thing. He’s avoiding me like I’m diseased, and I don’t understand why. Then there’s his all-female fan club which shouldn’t bother me as much as it does. When the truth comes out, everything I believe to be true and the world around me shifts. Tilly, Crew, and everyone around me is something I never thought could be real. But they are. And I’m Crew’s mate, his Luna? Can he accept me? Will I find my home amongst a wolf pack and help to lead them, that is if they can even accept me? If I go back to where I belong, will Crew come after me or let me go? **18+ This is a wolf shifter romance. While this isn’t an outright rejected mates story, it teeters on the edge of it and there is some OW (other woman) drama that the main characters have to contend with. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA.

Mia I've always expected to find a nice average guy one day, but I can't deny that there's something about Jackson that calls to me. We met almost a year ago and he hasn't made any move. I guess he doesn't really want me? Jackson When I saw Mia almost a year ago, I knew that she was going to be mine, but I had a lot to prove before I could make that happen. I had a bad reputation on campus for going through women and I didn't want her to get the wrong idea. Now that she's working on a project in the Theater department, I know I can't wait any longer to make her mine. **18+, If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn't necessarily simple, then this is for you. This story is safe, no cheating, guaranteed HEA**

Growling, a fated mate bond neither saw coming and an obsessed ex? What could go wrong? Oh, don’t forget about the knotting. JACE In the years since everything changed in Screaming Woods, including myself, the only place I’ve found solace is in the woods I protect as a park ranger. I’m not sure how to deal with my new…attributes as a wolfman. What if I go feral? What if I can’t control the monster I was made into? Every year this goes on, I retreat farther from humanity and closer to the animal I’ve become. I don’t get close to anyone, which is for the best. I’m destined to be alone now; at least that’s what I assumed. Until I meet Dakota. Dakota moves to town to open a gourmet pet treat business, but I know there is more to the story. I didn’t know I had a future beyond being a monster. Fate has given me something else—her, my mate. Now I’ll do anything to keep her safe and make her mine, even accept the monster I’ve become. DAKOTA When looking for a place to open a brick-and-mortar store for the business I run with my best friend, I wanted to take the opportunity to move far away. My ex is obsessed with me and not in a dark romance kind of way, more in a creepy, scary, restraining order kind of way. Something was calling me to Screaming Woods, so I took a chance. Opening Paws Up is going well. The town is welcoming and a little odd. Just the way I like things. I’ll be able to build a new, safe life here. I’ll be able to stay out of trouble and focus on the business. Then Jace growls his way into my life. He’s a wolfman who loves nature and takes offense to my business, though I can’t understand why. It’s not like I’d suggest he try my treats…unless he wanted to. I have a lot to learn about Screaming Woods and the monster whose fate is entwined with mine. Hopefully my past won’t come back to haunt me and try and take it all away from me. Even if it does, I’m knot running from fate. **18+  If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA.  It is a standalone but is loosely related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security).  Meet Dakota in Double Dog Dare (Lassoed in Love Series).** Twelve of your favorite authors are heading to Screaming Woods, where the monsters mash with their human soulmates.

NAVY I found burlesque when I was trying to gain confidence after being raised by people who preached about the temptation of women’s bodies. Though my family would find it shameful, I don’t. Burlesque is my calling and my source of empowerment. When I’m on stage, nothing else matters. I tease and I play, but no one can touch me. While I love the thrill of performing, it’s a job and I keep those lines clear. Normally the crowd is faceless, but that changes when I’m hired by the Devil’s Saints MC to dance for their President’s birthday party. Spark, Rites, and Crucify are hard to ignore in the crowd, but they have more than enough women to choose from. I never expected them to show up when I perform at Club Sin, but the way their intense eyes bore into me feels like lightning strikes in my soul. When they approach me to spend the night with them, they introduce me to electric pleasure I’ve never known before. My heart is shocked into beating just for them, but can they really give me everything they promise or will the sparks between us fizzle? WAYLON “SPARK” My club is my life, and my brothers are my family. I don’t have room for anything other than leading them, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy myself. It’s enough. At least, I think it is until my brothers surprise me with a surprise for my birthday. Navy is untouchable in more ways than one, but with one look, I know she’s mine. And I’m not alone. But can I share her? CHANCE “RITES” Solving problems for my brothers and my Prez is a part of my everyday life. Seeing the desire on Spark and Crucify’s faces while watching the burlesque dancer I hired, I know they want her. I’ll figure out how to make it happen because I want Navy too. She’s the light we need to make us whole. We only need one chance to show her how electric we can be together; then we’ll claim her. NICO “CRUCIFY” I’ve known there is something missing from my life for a while. When I see Navy performing at Spark’s birthday party, she’s everything I’ve been looking for and more; even if I have to share her. I never want to lose the awe she makes me feel, but can she handle being with some rough bikers? After spending the night with her behind the doors of Club Sin, I know the galvanic connection between us is real. She’s ours and we’re not letting her go. **18+.

APOSTLE The moment I saw Sioux, I knew she was going to turn my world upside down. And she has, more than she’ll ever know. I had to have her, but when she looked at me all she saw was a bit of fun wrapped in leather astride a bike. That was fine with me because I knew the truth. She’ll never know the fear that gripped me when I saw her bleeding out on the ground months ago. I’ll nurse her back to health while showing her just how much she means to me, even as she tries to push me away. My woman is stubborn as hell, but my stubbornness is only matched by my loyalty—to my woman and to my club. When our enemies think that we’ve let our guard down, they’ll quickly find out just how much they’ve messed up and how far I’ll go to protect Sioux. The Riding Rebels should have never tried to take on the DSMC, no matter who they have at their back. My job as an enforcer sometimes means I have to get my hands dirty, but since my darkness protects my woman and my club, I’ll never apologize for it. She’s my savior and I’m never letting her go. SIOUX My best friend has fallen for the bad boy biker from her past and their happiness is beautiful to see. That doesn’t mean I’m ready to fall at the feet of my own biker, even though he won’t leave me alone. We spent one night together, and I figured that would be enough to dispel the attraction to Apostle. It only made it worse, but I refuse to admit it. When my best friend was in danger, I was trapped in the crosshairs. Getting shot changed my life in so many ways, but Apostle has been there as I’ve recovered. Almost everything in my life is back to normal which means it’s time to leave Apostle’s house. I need to stand on my own, but I have a feeling he won’t let me. Do I keep pushing him away? Can I imagine my life without him in it now that he’s been at my side for so long? How can I walk away when those who want to do the DSMC harm show back up and Apostle is willing to protect me with is life? He’s my savior and has earned my loyalty and love. **18+  If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. This is the second book in the Devil’s Saints Motorcycle Club: New Orleans Series. The DSMC: NO is first mentioned in Flowers and Moonlight. The Seattle Chapter will get books as well and there will be crossover. The DSMC is not a one percenter club, but these guys don’t always operate within the law either. This series will be darker as the club has ties to the Guidice Crime Family. Don’t be surprised if there is OW (other women) drama within the series either.**

REBEL When people look at me, they make a whole slew of assumptions. I’m covered in tattoos, and I have RBF I can’t control. Then people find out my name and think they have me all figured out. There’s a lot about my vibe that screams IDGAF, but it just goes to show you that you shouldn’t judge people without getting to know them. The assumptions people make about me are usually wrong. I’m pretty tame, don’t get a thrill from wild nights, and believe in the power of kindness. My most prized possession is my sewing machine with my glue gun as a close second. I’ve blazed through life while being different and it’s served me well. A chance meeting with Monk when he picks up a cut that I’ve made for the DSMC defies all my expectations for my future. He’s huge and should be scary, but I can see the pain in his eyes. I’ll give him anything he wants if he lets me take away the pain of his past. He’s used to being the protector, but he has no idea how feral I can be when it comes to keeping his heart safe. TYLER “MONK” I live with nightmares and regrets. The only things that keep me going are my club and my art. My brothers have stood by my side during my darkest days and give me a reason to keep moving forward. Losing my sister has given my life a purpose, but I’d rather see her smile at me again. Inking skin gives me an outlet and it’s the only time my soul soars anymore. Because there’s been too much loss. There’s been too much pain. I’ve given up on healing from the past, but then I meet Rebel when I’m the only one who can pick up the cut that she’s made for a prospect about to be patched in. I haven’t been able to look at a woman and not think about the evil of men since my sister’s death, but I can’t look away from Rebel. She changes everything and makes the sun break through the clouds of my life. She’s mine. By the time I’m done with her, she’ll wear my ring, have my last name, and be carrying my baby. **18+  If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA.

Amelia If I could choose one person in Denver to tattoo anything they wanted on me it would be Beckett Banks, owner of Banks Ink.. So, when my best friend and coworker has the in for an appointment, I don’t hesitate to go and be her emotional support. Did I have an ulterior motive? Yeah, a little, but my friend is still my first priority. Beckett may be hotter than any guy I’ve ever met, but he’s kind of a dick, which is all the more obvious considering how nice everyone else in the shop is. Nice and maybe a little flirty. I may have been stalking Beckett’s social media for a while, but that doesn’t mean I’ll allow a guy to be a dick to me. Not again. He may have apologized, but I can hold a grudge and I’m not going to let my heart get stomped all over. I learned my lesson and now I know how to protect myself. I guess I’ll have to work harder at that now that his friends are conspiring to get us in the same room together. If only he didn’t look so sincere when he apologizes for his behavior, I would have a better chance of keeping my promise to myself and not give my heart away to the talented, sexy and tattooed Beckett Banks. Beckett The day I meet Amelia started out awful, but when I heard her laugh outside my shop, I knew in that moment that she’s the one for me. I shouldn’t have let my past get the better of me. My ex may have been a cheater, but that doesn’t mean that Amelia will be too. She’s gorgeous and sweet, kind and thoughtful. Still, she was flirting with two of my best friends; well, I think she was flirting and it brought up all doubts and fears. I was a dick to her and there’s no excuse for that. I tried to make it right, but she doesn’t owe me anything and she doesn’t have to accept my apology. I know I need to work harder to make it right with her. I’m lucky I have some of the best friends a guy can have and they can’t stand seeing me being a moody, grumpy bastard. I only need a chance and I know that I can make it up to her and get her to see how sorry I am. Good thing my friends are making sure I get that chance. Now I can make her mine because I knew the moment I saw her that she was always meant to be mine. She’s perfect for me, she’s perfect for our rag tag family. She’s home. I’ll always protect my home, no matter what. **18+. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

BRONCO When I start to question my life and the meaningless hookups that have kept me away from anything real, a little black card is dropped into my hand. I’m not sure a matchmaker can give me everything I am looking for, but I’ve always been willing to live on the wild side and find out what fate has in store for me. Maybe it’s a sign. I shouldn’t have questioned KNK because not only do they give me what I desire the most, they give me McKenzie. She thinks we’re only having a little fun, but she’s going to find out quickly that she’s mine now. She’ll adapt to the life I lead as part of the Devil’s Saints MC and become my old lady. I’ve always known I wanted a woman like her, but never thought I’d find her. She’s perfect—the right mix of lady, quiet, and sass—and she doesn’t mind my need for control. I’ll do whatever I have to in order to keep her. She belongs on the back of my bike where she fits perfectly. McKENZIE I’ve had my share of bad luck, but lately things have been looking up. I have a job I love in a new city and I’m settling in. I don’t need a lot to make me happy, but I know there’s something missing. Maybe the little black card someone slips me might be just the thing I’m looking for. Even if it doesn’t work out, I’m all about trying new things in my new home. I’ve never been adventurous before, but why not now? When I meet Bronco, he’s not what I’m expecting, but something tells me he can give me what I desire most—a sense of comfort when I’ve had to be independent for so long…and a firm hand. I’m not sure if his life and his club is right for me, but there’s something about being with him that I can’t ignore. We’re opposites in so many ways, but he seems to know me better than I know myself. KNK seems to have made a good match with us, we fit perfectly. The only question is if it’ll last or if we’re just a good time. *18+  If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA.

HYACINTH I’ve always been on the outside looking in and I prefer it that way. The connection I have to the Agosti family through my brother, Tazio, and best friend, Daisy, means I know that the world can be a dark place. Tazio has tried to shield me from it all and I’ve let him because I would rather fade into the shadows where it’s safe and I can simply be me. I have dreams of a family, a life that doesn’t involve the violence of the world, and to feel cherished. I’ve been building the life I wanted, but then Tazio falls in love, and it destroys my quiet world in ways no one could have predicted. All because of a brother’s love and Kiefer’s need to protect his sister from Tazio. When Kiefer takes me, it’s to use me as a bargaining chip. I shouldn’t want him, but no other man has ever made my body light up like he does. He doesn’t believe me when I tell him Dahlia and Tazio are in love. After Kiefer possesses me and the smoke from the inevitable collision clears what will be left of me? How many pieces of myself will I have to pick up and put back together? KIEFER The only family I’ve ever truly valued and loved is my sister. Finding out she was put in danger because of our brother is something I almost can’t comprehend. Dahlia says she’s found the other half of her soul, but how can that be when our brother tried to sell her to the man she supposedly loves to pay a debt? I never knew I had to protect my sister from herself, but she can’t be thinking straight. I’ve put everything else on hold while planning how to get her away from the monster who won’t let her go. The Agosti family is full of criminals, and I’ll sell my soul to the devil to get my sister back. My plan is to trade my sister for his sister. I’m doing this to save my sister, not possess the shy, quiet woman I’ve been watching while I’ve formed my plan. When I can’t ignore the way Hyacinth calls to me and how badly I want her, I realize I’ve made a miscalculation in my plan. I can only hope it’s not too late to have everything I want—my life, with my sister in it, and my woman in my arms. *18+.

GRIFFIN When I got the invitation for my 15-year high school reunion, I said right then and there I wasn’t going to go. Why would I want to? I don’t have anything to prove to those people. I came from the wrong side of the tracks and there were people in school who never let me forget it. I’ve made something of myself now. I love my construction job and I work with a great crew who are my friends. It’s my crew who encourages me to go to my reunion, not to prove anything, but for myself. Back in the day, Sienna was the sparkling star on everyone’s radar, but she’s not the same girl now. Life has beaten her down and she doesn’t see her worth, but I’ll remind her. Finding out that she’s a single mom doesn’t change anything for me—I’ll prove to her that she’s mine and I’ll be the man she and her daughter need. SIENNA I’m looking forward to my high school reunion. Not because I want to hash out the last 15 years with anyone, but because it means a night out. Since becoming a single mom, I’ve learned to appreciate any time away since it doesn’t happen often. I’m ready for some people to be surprised with the way my life has gone. I am too. I thought it would go completely differently than it did. That’s life, but it’s hard to not feel like a failure sometimes. Seeing Griffin again reminds me of the crush I used to have on him. The difference now is that he’s looking right back at me and seeing me. Will he look at me the same when he finds out about my daughter? Can I trust the future he’s offering me? **18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

RYLAND I planned to avoid Sycamore Mountain for a lot longer than ten years, but when my dad dies, I have to go back. Hammond Whiskey Distillery isn’t the only thing waiting for me in my hometown. Magnolia’s the girl I always wanted and could never have because she’s my sister’s best friend and too young for me. Now, she’s all grown up and even more captivating than I remember. The fire in her eyes tells me I have a lot of work ahead of me to make her mine. I hope I’m not too late and have enough time to settle in and get through the annual Earth Day Fair. Her devotion to my family’s distillery is humbling. I should hand it over to her; maybe I will after her last name is Hammond. She thinks I’m not going to stay, but this time I’m not running. I’ll get her in my arms, in my life, permanently…after the rain. MAGNOLIA Pining for a man who I never thought would come home has left me bitter and sad, no matter how much I try and hold onto the sunshine. I don’t know why he’s stayed away so long, but I can only hope it’s not because of me. I’ve given so many years to Hammond Whiskey Distillery trying to feel closer to Ryland, but time still passes and I’m still alone. No one was prepared for Mr. Hammond’s death, least of all me. It’s the only reason Ryland comes back to Sycamore Mountain, but who is to say he’ll stay? Seeing him again reminds me that pieces of my heart are still jagged even though Harmony, my best friend and Ryland’s sister, tried to help me smooth them out over the years. Working together gives me hope I’m not sure I can trust. Maybe a little rain will wash away the past. When the clouds part, I don’t know what path I’ll be on, but Ryland will know he’s not the only one who has changed. **18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

TUCKER “FRIAR” FOX A certain cyber thief has been able to take from the Devil’s Saints MC. It wasn’t a lot of money at first, but our Treasurer, Clutch, took it personally. I took on the job to find the source of the theft and now my pride won’t allow me to let it go. I’ve been running after my own tail to try and find out who is behind the multiple breaches of our security and the theft; I need to catch this guy. Whoever the hacker is, they messed up when they upped their game which allows me to get a bead on where the guy is. Rolling out of Seattle with a few of my brothers, I’m not at all sad to be heading down South close to Christmastime. Mistletoe Creek, Tennessee seems like an idyllic place, but they’re harboring a dangerous hacker and I’m going to find them. Finding Robyn at the other end of the thefts throws off everything I thought I knew. She’s all curves and determination, but I can’t ignore that she’s stolen from the club, even if she thought she was doing the right thing. When my brothers and I find out we’re not the only ones who have tracked her down, the only thing I can do to protect her is make her my old lady. She wants to take down the evil in the world and the Devil’s Saints MC is at her back. ROBYN LOCKE When my best friend disappeared years ago, she wasn’t the only one who was lost. I’ve been searching for a place to belong while trying to right the wrongs in the world, wrongs I didn’t know existed until she was taken and sold. I’ve found a home in Mistletoe Creek for the last five years, but I don’t know if I can make it permanent. Using my computer skills to skim money from those who do evil in this world, I make sure the money gets to those who need it. I’m not sorry and I never will be. If the bad guys don’t have as much money, they don’t have as much freedom to destroy. With Christmas around the corner, I want to help even more people…and that is where everything goes wrong. I didn’t expect Friar to track me down from over 2000 miles away, but when he rolls into Mistletoe Creek with some of his brothers, he doesn’t suspect me. At first. Once he figures it out, he should be mad and never trust me, but he looks at me like I’m his whole world and shows me the Devil’s Saints aren’t the bad guys I thought they were. When the real bad guys show up to find me, I have no choice but to give into Friar and his plan to protect me. Hopefully I can stay safe and come out of this with my heart intact. **18+  If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. Tucker “Friar” is part of the Devil’s Saints Motorcycle Club, Seattle Chapter. Meet Friar in Biker and Falling Feathers.

GANNON My time in the military changed me and when I came back home to Jasper Ridge, I retreated to the mountains. It’s quiet and safe here, but it’s lonely as well. I’ve made my peace with it. I have my cabin, I have my dog, I have my solitude. What more could I want? When a beautiful woman shows up with hope in her eyes while telling me she’s in Jasper Ridge to become my wife, it becomes clear that someone has decided to stick their nose in my business. I never put out the ad Lake saw, but she’s definitely here for me. How it happened doesn’t matter because I’m not letting her go. I wasn’t expecting to give my heart or a ring to a woman, but now I’m doing both. With her in my arms, I remember the joy of Christmas and can see a future with her. Santa wasn’t the one who brought Lake to me, but whoever did will forever have my gratitude. LAKE I’ve been feeling stuck and suffocated for far too long. I hate my job. My brother, who is part of the Devil’s Saints MC, will always see me as his younger sister instead of a woman who knows her own mind. As the holidays roll around, I’m determined to do something about it. If Santa could give me a sign, that would be great, especially with my brother out of town. I have an opportunity and I don’t want to let it pass me by. When I come across a way to get out of town and head somewhere new, getting married to a stranger feels like a fair trade. I never expected Gannon to be my intended husband. He’s gruff and grumpy, but I’m used to men like that. The surprise on his face when I show up on his doorstep doesn’t deter me, and the way it morphs into heat tells me married life will be better than I was anticipating. I’ll remind my new husband what Christmas is all about and then we’ll build a life together that’s worth living. **18+.

OLIVIA Being the only woman at Banks Ink. can be tough sometimes. The guys look at me like a little sister, which I don’t mind…for the most part. The only one who doesn’t treat me like a little sister is Zeke, thankfully, because I’ve wanted him from the moment I met him two years ago. If he treated me like a sister, I don’t think I could handle it. We’re friends, which is great and all, but I want more. So much more. I don’t know how much longer I can keep wanting him and being close to him without my heart breaking. I’m losing hope that we will ever be more. Can I let my feelings go? Can I move on? Will he ever let me into the past he guards so fiercely? Will he ever want me the way I want him? I need to figure out a way to keep my heart and our friendship intact. I just have no idea how to do that. ZEKE If anyone knew about what I did, I’d lose everything that I’ve built with my family at Banks Ink.. I can’t risk that, not even for Olivia. When I met her two years ago there was a moment where I didn’t feel the weight of my past and I could almost imagine a happy future. It was fleeting and then reality came crashing down. I’ll never escape my past. I don’t deserve it. Beckett got me off the streets and gave me a purpose. I’ve worked hard to get to where I am now, but I’ll never deserve love; especially not from someone as amazing as Olivia. She’d look at me like a monster if she ever knew what I did. I can’t let that happen. So, I guess, friends it is. There’s just one problem: I don’t know how to let her go. I need her. **18+.
