After a rocky start to my freshman year at BCU, I was confident the threat was gone. The murders ended, and my name was cleared. All the while, three unsuspecting men took me by surprise… Ridge, my stalker turned lover. Maddox, the prince charming who swept me off my feet.

Campus Alert: Shelter in place. Homicide suspect at large. That suspect… it's me.

He’s the last person I ever wanted to see again. Callum Reece. My late husband’s brother. The man who took my virginity and then left without so much as an I’m sorry. The Marine operator who makes a living from putting his life on the line. But loving me? That had been too much of a risk.

Idaho, 1993: Seventeen-year-old Jason Krabb falls for a girl from the other side of town who’s mixed up with a ragtag crew of pipeliners bringing gas lines through the high desert. Jason’s hilariously naive struggle to distinguish himself as one of the crew while attempting to leave his mark on the ‘90s grunge scene is a stirring reflection on adolescence.

I was overlooked most of my life. Quiet, nerdy, and someone people didn't notice. But he saw me. Adrian Kennedy was kind whereas others were indifferent. He laughed, not at me, but because of me. Because he believed I was the funniest person he knew. I was myself with him—stripped bare, exposed. Raw and open in a way I've never known since. I was his, and he was mine. But I was a secret. Perhaps an experiment. Pushed aside when things got too scary. Too real. His kindness turned into cruelty, not because of words he said, but because he was unaware of what his rejection felt like.

The first night I met Parker Cole, he insulted me within five minutes of opening his gorgeous mouth. Between the banter and nicknames thrown at each other, a spark ignited that lingered well beyond that evening. Our next encounter was a night full of masked pleasure and fun, with no expectations.

As time passes, his presumably impenetrable walls start crumbling, and suddenly, two people who can barely stand each other find their lives tangling in every way imaginable.
