Sheโs his curvy military pen pal turned best friend. He thinks heโs way too old for her. Then one kiss in Key West rewrote every rule they ever made.
Rylee
I never planned on falling in love with my pen pal.
Jase was just supposed to be a class assignmentโone letter to a deployed soldier.
But one letter turned into hundredsโฆ
Into years.
Into the safest friendship Iโve ever known.
Into something I was too scared to admit even to myself.
And now heโs here.
Standing in front of me at a beach bar in Key West, looking at me like heโs memorizing every inch of me.
Heโs gentle, sweet, and when he kisses me, I swear I feel every letter we ever shared.
I donโt know how this ends.
But for the first time in my life, Iโm ready to stop hidingโฆ
Jase
Rylee has been my lifeline through deployments, heartbreak, and every hard moment in between.
Iโve memorized her handwriting, her humor, the way she pours her heart into every letter.
But her in real life? Sheโs so much more. Sheโs stunning, smart, talented, and strong in ways she doesnโt even realize.
The way she looks at me? It ruins me.
The way she kisses me? Iโm done for.
And when I finally get her in my bed, my only thought is mine.
I never meant to fall in love.
But one week with her is enough to make me want forever.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I log in to a dating app, searching for a guy willing to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can bust out of this overpriced nightmare.
But what do I get? Accused of being a prostitute.
Move on to plan B. Escape. Except, on my way to freedom, Iโm nearly pummeled by a man wearing all black and with the bluest eyes Iโve ever seen. When he pretends to be my boyfriend I discover this is the rude guy from the app.
Turns out heโs not only rude but bossy, irritable, and he keeps calling me a walking hazard. I end up back at his place, eating soup and trying hard not to catch feelings.
Then my apartment is broken into, and Iโm running for my life, confused, injured, and with nowhere else to go. Kieran vows to keep me safe, and as the threat to my life intensifies, I start to wonder if Iโll make it to my next birthday and, more importantly, if trusting Kieran is the deadliest hazard of all.
He was supposed to be her cover story, not her future.
Sidney I fell for Hattie Ward the second she chose a book over the game.
Who does that? The wild girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, that’s who.
But I never thought I’d have a shot with her. Until she begs me to date her.
She thinks I’m grumpy. She thinks I’m not her type. She thinks this is pretend.
She’s wrong.
There’s nothing fake about the way she makes me feel. And there is no one else who will worship her like I do.
She’s done hiding in the shadows. And I’m more than ready to show her exactly how bright she burns. Even if I have to turn her world upside down.
Hattie Propositioning my brother’s teammate was the perfect plan. One date with Sidney Hawkes, and I’d be free from my mother’s schemes.
He’s hot, standoffish, and not my type…the perfect fake wedding date.
Until everything changes.
One kiss, one confession, and my plans go awry. Now, I’m his in a way I never saw coming. And he doesn’t just want to date me. He wants to keep me.
But stepping into his world means risking everything. I’m terrified I’m going to fall flat on my face and drag him down with me.
Falling for him is either the bravest thing I’ve ever doneโฆ or the dumbest. And it’s far too late to back out now.

What happens when the youngest, most successful coach in the NHL comes face-to-face with the woman he never got over โ only to find out sheโs married to his new General Manager?
Everything Iโve spent my life building is suddenly at risk.
I loved Ariana Ridley long before the world knew my name. Before the NHL. Before the pressure of being one of the youngest coaches in the league. Before I learned how to survive by locking my heart down tight.
Leaving her was the hardest thing Iโve ever done โ and the one choice I never made peace with.
Now sheโs back. And she belongs to another man.
My new General Manager.
I tell myself I can handle it. Discipline is my job. Control is my strength. I know how to keep my distance โ how to respect the lines that should never be crossed.
But every glance drags the past to the surface. Every quiet moment reminds me the love I buried never died.
I see the cracks she tries to hide, the fear sheโs learned to live with, and the way she still looks at me like Iโm the one place she can breathe.
I want to protect her. I want to fight for her. And I want things I have no right to want.
Because if I cross that line, I donโt just risk my career โ I risk shattering the woman I never stopped loving.
Some choices haunt us forever. Some loves never let go.
And trying to right my wrongs might just ruin us both.
