I never wanted to draw a line between good and evil. Yet, hoping my twin brother would change has gotten me nowhere. I'm always his target, the mark in his game of retribution, but that doesn't keep him from hurting others to get to me.

Crawling back to this small town was never in hockey star Chase Woodson’s plans. From hitting hockey pucks in front of thousands to selling urinal pucks at his father’s hardware store, coming back home is his worst nightmare. But being a (newly) single dad of twin boys means making sacrifices....

In the grand scheme of things five years isn’t a very long time. It goes by in a blink, literally. Waking up with no recollection of the last five years is devastating. The woman I remember loving is with someone else....

Senior year, two hockey championships under his skates, and parents who didn’t freak out when he swung the proverbial closet door open and stepped out....

So I forgot about the night I spent with Sylvie Davis...big deal. Listing all of my one-night stands would be impossible. It’s par for the course for any man who decided early in life they’d rather enjoy a buffet instead of a single entrée. But now my boss has ordered me to accompany her....

One minute my best friend from childhood is alive and well, and the next minute he and his wife are gone. One minute I’m a single guy looking for fun, and the next I’m responsible for two little boys....

I never expected to see her again. The connection we shared through her brother was severed when he died in combat. Their parents were adamant that I never reach out to them again. I forgot about the pact I made, my promise to make her mine if I wasn’t married by 30....

Grinch: I never ran from my past or the woman I loved. She made sure to stomp me into the ground and demand I forget her. I tried to do that, and in the twelve years since she ripped my heart out, I've done fairly well. We were never supposed to see each other again, but Grace couldn't stay gone...

Jinx: It was one kiss. One trick to convince her ex she's in a happy relationship. I'm obsessed with Reagan. Only Reagan isn't looking for that happy relationship. Until she needs me to pretend again. Pretending is perfect. It gives me the opportunity to prove that we are the perfect combination...

Hooking up with a cop was supposed to be fun. How joking with Detective Lennox Maison about her handcuffs transformed into her actually arresting me was something I could’ve never predicted....

Secrets are poison. They eat away at you from the inside. I doubt there’s a single person in the club that would have a problem with who I am....

He ruined a lifelong friendship the night he kissed me. I spent the next three years avoiding him. Well . . . I tried at least. With my dad being a member of the Cerberus MC and his dad married to one of the members it was virtually impossible. Just like it was impossible to keep from watching...

Picture this: One drink, one look, and the best no-strings-attached night with a guy I met at the hotel bar. But then he comes out of the bathroom with a fake wedding ring on talking about not being able to stick around because he has carpool duty the next morning....

It takes a lot to shake me, and even when I’m upset, most people wouldn’t even know it. There was just something about the last job that kept me from keeping my cool....

They say misery loves company, but after losing the love of my life all I wanted was to be completely alone. Having a young daughter made that impossible. I couldn't curl into myself. I couldn't spend hours in the dark living in regret. I couldn't end it all no matter how many times that thought...

I never ran from my past or the only woman I ever loved. She made sure to stomp me into the ground and demand I forget all about her. I tried to do just that, and in the twelve years since she ripped my heart out, I've done fairly well. Sometimes I could even go a day or two without thinking of...

I wouldn't call it love at first sight, but my body definitely reacted when I saw her. Getting Faith Robbins under me became my obsession. I knew I wanted fast and done. It's how I always did things. Looking for anything more with a woman was never in the cards. I wasn't like the other guys in...

The first time we met, I was rescuing her from a cult. The second time I laid eyes on her was when she showed up at Cerberus with a secret, asking me for an unthinkable favor. What she was offering was something I never thought I could have, so I readily agreed. I wanted more than just her...
