My life has never been whole since my parents left forever. I have my brother, someone I can barely tolerate most of the time, and I have my best friend, Marie.And I have myself. But when Hawke walks into my life, there's an immediate connection. Our eyes lock and an unspoken conversation is exchanged. For the first time in my life, I actually feel something. But he doesn't. He keeps me at arm's length and pretends there's nothing between us when there clearly is. I'm not the kind of girl to wait around for any guy, so I don't.

The events of Anastille have unfolded in the most unexpected ways, and with the odds stacked against them, victory is merely a hope. But our heroes will do what they can to free the imprisoned dragons, to overthrow King Lux from his throne, and heal the divided factions of a war-torn country.

Getting over Hawke is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I couldn't breathe, sleep, or eat. Every day was more agonizing than the one that followed. But somehow, after two years of suffering, I finally got back on my feet. And I moved on. Now I'm living in the city and running my own bakery. Life is good again. I'm surrounded by good friends that I love, and every day is even better than the last. Until everything changes. Now I have to face him after two years of silence.

I'm in love with Skye Preston. The Skye Preston. The daughter of the wealthiest businessman in the world, and the most beautiful woman I've ever known. Her looks don't compare to her golden heart. But I could never tell her. Because we've been best friends for 20 years. She has a jerk for a boyfriend, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. The rest of the gang can't stand him, either. But I'm not the kind of guy to intervene. But then I spot her at a party, too drunk to even walk. The men are eyeing her like easy prey so I take her home. But when we get there, Skye is different.

It took me a long time to forgive Hawke - a very long time. But now that I have, I feel nothing but unbridled joy. Everything is exactly as it should have been two years ago. He's just what I need, and not just now, but forever. Until disaster strikes. We promised each other forever, but will Hawke honor that promise when his world comes crumbling down? When the ground cracks below his feet, will we still stand? Or will we fall?

Sean is being held for questioning at the police station while Scarlet and Janice fear for their lives. Ryan is their sole protector because Cortland is kept in the dark about the situation. Scarlet doesn't want him to know the truth so she can spare him. When they travel to New York, things go from bad to worse. It becomes clear that Sean doesn't have a good chance of evading prosecution, Sean's mom seems to dislike Scarlet more than she did before, and Scarlet has to fearfully look over her shoulder every moment.

Trinity keeps her relationship with Slade a secret, but when Skye sets her up on a date with a friend, she can't reject the offer. Slade is insane with jealousy and outright refuses to let the date happen. But Trinity knows she has to keep pretenses. While she's on her date, Slade shows up. And his appearance will change their relationship forever.

The man I hate lives next door. He must have just moved in, even though I never saw the moving truck. He's just as arrogant as I remember, mowing the lawn without a shirt and grinning like an idiot. When he catches me staring at him through the window, he winks. So cocky. He flirts with me like he never broke my heart. And then he tells me something that I just can't believe. We're married.

Ryker dumped me. Everyone warned me dating him was the wrong decision. But I did it anyway. Now that it's been three months I'm finally in a good place. I haven't started dating just yet but I know that will happen in time. Finally, I don't think about Ryker anymore. But when I have a dream about Zeke, a very inappropriate one, I start to wonder things I shouldn't.

My brother is an idiot. He won the lottery and invested all of his money in a run-down bowling alley. Since he's barely making it, he moved in with me. Great. Having him around the house isn't the worst thing in the world, but he does make a mess like nobody's business. My friends Zeke, Jessie, and Kayden keep me sane but there's only so much they can do. And it's definitely not the worst thing in the world when his old friend, Ryker, moves to town.

Ryker and I aren't exactly perfect. But I was falling for him - and falling hard. Every kiss. Every touch. Every embrace. Just made me realize this wasn't a fling. It wasn't even a relationship. It was so much more. I just hoped Rex was wrong about Ryker. Because I didn't have the heart to listen to him say those terrible three words. Told you so.

Despite everything I've done for my parents, I'll never be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn't mean anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in jail.

Trinity and Slade are finally together, and their secret is out in the open. But how will the rest of the gang react to their newly announced love? Cayson and Skye take it the easiest since they already knew about it, but what about everyone else?

The longer Cayson and Skye are in a relationship, the more they realize they are meant for each other. The connection they have is natural and unforced. When Cayson thinks about this future, he knows it's with Skye. But when he receives a letter from Stanford, inviting him to an interview for their medical program, he feels nervous. If gets in, he'll have to decide if he's going to leave Skye to pursue his dream or stay in New York just to be with her. The question taunts him, so he tries to avoid it.

Cayson and Skye enjoy their bliss for the months of the winter season. Every night, they sleep in the same bed. And every waking hour is spent side-by-side. But their physical relationship hasn't taken off. Skye realizes she's afraid to dive into intimacy, realizing they can never go back to being friends if their relationship doesn't work out. When she confesses this to Cayson, his response changes everything.

Now that Sean and Scarlet are together, Scarlet couldn't be happier. They were meant for each other and would make any sacrifice to be together. With her greatest friend as her new lover, their relationship was perfect. But when Sean asks her to move back to New York, she hesitates. She doesn't want to leave her brother after finally reconnecting with him so they agree to make the coast-to-coast trip every weekend. When Penelope shows up at Sean's apartment pregnant and penniless, Sean has to decide what he really wants. Will a baby interfere with the happiness that Scarlet has recently found?

When Scarlet realized Penelope was dumping Sean, her best friend, she was devastated. Penelope was the love of his life, the woman of his dreams. Scarlet knew how far her best friend was going to fall and she had to catch him. Scarlet became Sean’s rock and helped him through a very painful breakup, but her own hidden desires bubbled to the surface in the process. When they finally gave in and slept together, she thought it was the start of their new relationship. Unfortunately, Sean didn’t feel the same.
