Studies astrophysics? Check. Loves Star Wars? Check. Still a virgin at twenty-one with zero experience in real life? Double-check. I didn't want any fanfare around my twenty-first birthday. But when a series of unfortunate accidents confirming Ramsey's rules of randomness takes place right in front of my eyes, I find myself dancing with the hottest, most popular jock on campus. Liam makes me feel special. Except it's all a charade. He's just making his crazy ex-girlfriend crazier. But when the door is closed and his ex isn't around to see us, are we still faking it?

Years of rivalry and quiet resentment finally come to boiling and one of us isn’t leaving this hotel room alive. Until big words are said. And crazy actions taken. And we’re no longer fighting, even if it sort of looks like a wrestling match. Turns out, I’ve got no problem with Caden kissing guys when I’m the guy he kisses. But… I’m straight, right?

He's the most infuriating, immature frat brat I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. He's also the guy I dumped in high school when I realized I was straight. And he just so happens to be the intern at his dad's company; the very same one I work for. A terrible misunderstanding puts Justin Lewis into my care. I'm supposed to teach him how his father's business works. But he's determined to do it the hard way.

Rafael owns my heart. He stole it with the first clumsy bump in a Parisian bookstore, and I never asked him to return it. He gifted me a night to remember, a night that shaped the person I would become. And then, I lost him. I lost every trace that could have helped me find him. Until fate meddled again and put Rafael and me on the same cross-European train through the Alps.

This year is my last chance to take the Titans to victory. I cost us the cup last year, but I'm not making the same mistake again. And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season. The success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Until the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life.

Grayson Reed is into me. We are each other's fiercest opponents in the rink. But now, Grayson's eyes are stripping me down whenever we cross each other's paths. I don't mind being the object of another guy's desire, but I also refuse to jump into a stranger's bed so quickly. It's just that I'm not really dating material. And of all the guys on Earth, Grayson Reed is the last person I would give a chance. But if there is one thing everyone knows about Gray, it's that he is not a quitter.

My life was just fine until he came down from his ivory tower. Sure, I lived my days hiding deep in the closet, but I got to see all the beautiful guys in Neon Nights whenever I delivered fresh produce from my father's store. But that was the best we could do. Until a man with wolfish eyes and a sinful smirk came to our little home and demanded that my father settle an old debt. He was going to ruin what little happiness we built for ourselves in Hudson Burrow.

I'm your cookie-cutter villain . . . Or that's the role Christmas Falls has given me. I'm here to help my grandfather fulfill the crazy amount of orders his toy shop is getting. The company I work for would love to take it off his hands. And I want to see Grandpa Nicholas enjoy a few years without having to work so hard. When I arrive, not only is Gramps adamant about keeping the toy shop, but he has already hired an assistant enabler who can't stand the sight of me.

I never wanted anyone this much. Especially not a guy. Aaron stumbled into my arms, and I wasn't able to let go of him since. Wounded, he needs a place to crash and a friend to help him through. He's so hurt and lost that he makes me want to be his protector against the world. But strange new feelings rise very quickly. Being around him makes me imagine things a straight guy has no business wanting. Least of all a taken, straight guy. But the longer he's with us, the more I want him all for myself.

This trip to Greece was supposed to be simple—play the part of the perfect boyfriend, soak up the sun, and help my best friend's billionaire boss survive his family's relentless questions. I thought he would only be my ticket out of New York and away from the man whose dangerous secrets I stole. But nothing about Percy Davenport is simple. He's a genius with a yacht and a private jet but can't handle turbulence or, apparently, telling his mother no.

Some mistakes you bury. Others crawl under your skin and never let go. Jaxon Mercer was supposed to be my past. The stolen kiss. The fist that followed. The silence after. But now? He's here—cocky, dangerous, and looking at me like he already knows how this ends. I should shut him out. I should forget the way he used to make me feel. But when he's this close, breathing is hard enough, let alone thinking straight. Enemies. Ex-best friends. Rivals. Obsessions. I don't know what we are anymore. But I know I want him.

Some men ruin you slowly. Others break you all at once. Jace was never supposed to be in my life again. Not after what he did. Not after they took him away. But he's here, standing in my doorway with a smirk that makes my pulse trip and my gut clench. He needs a place to stay. I should slam the door in his face. Instead, I let him in. Enemies. Exiles. Rivals. Lovers? This isn't a love story. This is a disaster waiting to happen. And I can't wait for the impact.

I wandered far and wide in search of happiness, never finding what I sought. When I return to Christmas Falls to lick my wounds, the last thing I expect is for Santa to send me a golden-haired, blue-eyed man I once called my best friend—the friend who was taken away from me when we were kids. Milo Montgomery is back in town, and he doesn't wait for miracles to come to him. There's a special sort of magic in the way he spreads joy throughout our town.

Madison Masters is everything I want to be. He's confident, good-looking, and beyond popular. Wherever he appears, he's the center of attention. It's his natural charisma that pulls every gaze to him. Mine especially. I have been in love with Madison since the moment I met him. The only trouble is he has no clue that I exist. And even if he knew me, it would never work.
