The deal I'd made with the sea witch was supposed to be simple. She was to give me a ship that could travel between realms, and I was to capture a little mermaid by the name of Aurelia once I got to Neverland. The witch said she would come for her when she was ready. Except Aurelia wasn't little when I captured her. She was a beautiful young woman, and she was in my bed, in my quarters, taunting and tempting me with what I was sure were some type of siren powers.

Not all lessons can be learned in a classroom. I went back to school to make something of myself - it was all about me. Until her...My teacher. One look in those sad eyes and every other reason for being in that classroom is erased. She’s lost. That much is obvious. Damn if I didn’t want to be the one to find her, to hell with rules. I wasn’t expecting to fall so hard and fast. Her struggle to discover who she’s meant to be stirs something inside me. When her past threatens to destroy what we have, I’ll do what it takes to keep her safe...and make her mine.

Tyler: Football is life. Growing up, my family loved to cheer me on, and after my parents' accident, I vowed to be the best I could be to honor their memory. After a while, life starts to pile up - college, football, and helping out my brothers. I just need a small reprieve, especially if she's five foot five, brunette, and has legs that go on for miles.

My prim and proper world is turned upside down when he walks into my college classroom, demanding attention with a single look, his braces and glasses at complete odds with his defined body and bad boy tattoos. From the first moment we connect, it’s like he’s daring me to live the life I’ve always craved, a life on the edge...not caring what others think.

From that very first night, when Erica fell into my lap, I wanted her. More than anything. I’m addicted to her. Those curves, that smart mouth...but most of all, the darkness she thinks she keeps hidden in her eyes. I’ve spent weeks trying to break down her walls, discover what she's hiding, but I'm keeping secrets of my own. When she finds out the truth, there is no turning back. I can't demand that she hear me out, when I’ve no idea where she is.

Craving her was wrong...losing her was a necessity. What we had was real, but it's over. Ancient history. She was under my skin, but I was under her dad's roof. He warned me to stay away, but I couldn't. We risked everything, and I lost it all, to protect us both. Now I'm empty, and it's all too clear what's missing. Or, rather, who. None of the women who warm my bed can ever fill the void inside my shattered heart.

I thought I had it all, until I met her...but she only exists in my dreams, so please don't wake me. We live a lifetime together in my dreams, but every morning when I wake up, she is gone. She's always there just beyond my reach. To me, she is more than just a dream. I just have to find her in reality, and then, we can be together forever. She is my dream lover. Some say true love in a dream is your mind compensating for the love you can’t find in reality. But I wasn’t looking.
