The View4U competition was supposed to be fun. A way to help someone live out their fantasy, with no strings or feelings. But then I started to want more from him. I crave it. Crave him. I didn’t expect to fall for the man who offered me a place to stay. Or the broody one who keeps pushing me away even as his eyes plead for me not to go. Then there’s the one who started it all, who makes me feel seen in a way I’ve never been before.

On the ice, college hockey star Tyler is a god, but to me, he's a remorseless devil. After shattering my heart and scarring my soul, he thinks he can arrogantly skate back into my life. I'm not fooled. He doesn't love me; he doesn't want a second chance. He wants to control me. This is all just a twisted game to him. And I know he's keeping secrets

Desperate. Broken. Unhinged. Vengeful. I’m dead to them. I was buried in a forest, never to be thought of again. Or so I thought. Being stuck in this nightmare, I’m desperate to break free. My whole life seems to be a prison, and with my kings gone, I have a new warden. And this warden is now the kings biggest enemy.

As a florist, I'm no stranger to hot groomsmen. So why is it that Andrew gives me butterflies? I missed my chance with him, but I'm ready to put myself out there. I sign up for a blind date photoshoot, and lo and behold, Andrew is who I see when I take the blindfold off.

Since I was a teenager, I've used baseball as a way to distract myself from everything my life was missing. I grew up too fast, taking care of my two younger brothers. They were all I had, until one day, they were taken away and I was alone. Being drafted by the Daytona Fury brought with it a gift I wasn't expecting—my best friend, Jackson Blake. I've opened up to him about my past and he's accepted me for who I am, but I've never felt fully understood…at least not until I met his stepsister. Arden makes me feel seen, and she's secretly owned a piece of me for years.

I come to find that knowledge is both a blessing and a curse as I leave behind my sheltered imprisonment to embrace the hope for a future at Trinity Falls Academy. And yet with answers come more questions than I can possibly keep track of. For the first time in my life, I'm prioritizing myself, a luxury I've never been able to embrace until now. But that selfishness introduces a new problem I never saw coming… a battle between what my mind needs and what my heart desires.

Forgive me, Father… for I’ve sinned, and the Dollhouse has carved those sins into me. I don’t know who they are beneath the masks—or why they locked me inside their perfect little nightmare—but they hunted me, cornered me, pushed me past every boundary I thought I had. Fear was supposed to break me. Instead, they taught me to crave the darkness I should have run from. I need absolution, Father. I need to escape. Because if I don’t get out soon, I can’t take down the Cosa Nostra’s don. I swear I’ll try to be a good girl and forget what the Dollhouse awakened in me.

Nora Blake is used to chaos, but nothing could prepare her for Griffin Rhodes, the NFL's golden-boy quarterback, showing up at her daycare mid-game day with a five-year-old…and a job offer she can't refuse.

I need to hurt her like she's hurt me. My friends dub this mission Project: FU. A series of bad decisions lands me in bed with the worst one yet.

Growing up, we were The Three Musketeers. It was Tyler, Noah, and Scarlett against the world. Best friends and fiercely loyal to each other. Inseparable until we grew apart. And it was all my fault. One night between Noah Milner and me changed everything. The way I saw him. The way I saw her. The way I saw all of us. I would've picked him if he had let me, and now, a decade later, I still want to. Because Noah and I belong together. The problem? I'm married to her.

He's the golden quarterback of Nolan U Football. His life is perfect. His future is set… until he finds out his high school sweetheart secretly had a baby girl… his baby girl. I'm a father. Holy f**k, I'm a father. How could she not tell me this? Over three years ago, she vanished from my...

Welcome to Big Bend—my nightmare and my home, all in one. I don't fit in here. I don't fit in anywhere. I've made so many mistakes. Over and over. Two of those mistakes haunt me. One, being responsible for a friend losing his job and reputation in this town. And two, well, that one is even worse. I ruined so many lives with one stupid decision I barely even remember. And now, I'm going to pay for it.

I've had a pretty good gig going at Nolan U. I've paid tutors to do my assignments for me and scraped by without too much hassle. But then I met Elizabeth… She's something else, man. Not only is she refusing to do things my way, but she seems convinced that I'm capable of being more than a dumb jock. She knows I'm all about the game, but she seems to think I'm smart enough to graduate, too. I've never met anyone like her, and I don't know what to do. I can't go falling for my tutor; that's way too distracting. I don't have time for a serious relationship.

She even plans to become an FBI agent, for Christ's sake. I should keep my distance. Do my job. Remember my place. But when danger finds us, something primal takes over. I'd die for her without hesitation, kill without remorse.

I'm keeping some pretty big secrets from my best friend. Secrets, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold onto. Secrets that'll likely destroy our friendship. Because he thinks we're going to college together—but I just can't do it. I can't spend any more time with this lie. Big Bend may have been my beginning, but it never felt quite right. Something was always off—truly, I think it was my false start. Now it's time to live my life with nothing but the truth.

"Bad choices make epic stories. Write one with me." Iverson Grey wasn't supposed to be my happily ever after. He wasn't even on my radar. I came to Copper Falls expecting to settle my sister's estate and learn about the woman I never knew existed until I was notified of her death. Little did I...
