He's Always Hidden Behind a Mask. Until it Was No Longer Possible.
Asher Stevens is a legend when it comes to Wildcat football. If the gossip that swirls through campus is true, he’ll be one of this year’s top NFL draft picks. To say I can’t stand the guy is a major understatement. Other women might be taken in by his handsome face, chiseled body, and athletic prowess, but not me. I see him for what he is—a muscle bound, steroid-infused meathead who drinks like a fish, smokes weed, and screws like he’s been sentenced to prison without the possibility of conjugal visits.
So what if my pulse trips every time our gazes collide?
Or my panties dampen when he lays hands on me?
It means nothing.
After three and a half years of steering clear, it seems like my luck has finally run out. Everywhere I go, there he is.
Needling me at the restaurant where I work—check.
Colliding on campus when I’m running late—double check.
Showing up in a parking lot after an accident—triple check.
No matter what I do, I can’t get away from the guy.
To make matters worse, my life is on the verge of imploding and the one person I want to avoid like the plague is the very same one who comes to my rescue, making me an offer I can’t refuse. One that involves spending time alone with him when that’s the last thing I want to do.
You know what scares me most?
The fleeting glimpses I catch buried beneath all the hype. The ones that suggest he’s deeper and more intelligent than I suspected.
Resisting the campus legend is easy.
Resisting the man he’s slowly revealing himself to be, isn’t.
Eli Bennett.
Magnetic. Outspoken. Infuriating.
Top-ranked college quarterback. Sexy. Funny.
Oh, and now my ex-boyfriend.
When he makes me choose between him or a once in a lifetime opportunity, I surprise us both and don’t choose him. He can’t tell me what to do. Besides, he’ll get over my so-called betrayal and we’ll be back together in no time.
But when I return from my European study abroad program, Eli is still angry. He wants me to apologize for leaving him. I want him to apologize for giving me an ultimatum. Looks like we’re at a standstill.
He’s playing the season of his life thanks to him channeling his anger into aggressiveness out on the field, and now he’s got NFL prospects. His every dream is coming true, but I know he misses me. He still wishes he had his parents’ approval. He’s on top of his game, but secretly, he’s miserable.
Until a life-changing moment has us both reconsidering what we’re going to do with our lives. And if we’re going to end up …
Together.

One sister is a powerful witch, but the other has special powers of her own.
Eliza Dragonsong is a lawyer by day and a Wiccan high priestess by night. Her unique skill set comes in handy in the courtroom, and also when she’s asked to guard an ancient cursed stone from the dangerously charming Ivan Rochat. Although he’s a former art thief with a questionable past, Eliza still finds herself drawn to him and soon realizes she has to guard more than just the stone. She has to guard her heart as well.
Amanda Dragonsong is nothing like her older half-sister. Shy and self-conscious, she’s a woman gifted with a beautiful voice, but that gift can also be a curse. Her lullabies make people drift off to sleep, and her sad songs make them cry, but it’s her love songs that often cause the most damage. When her domineering mother forges Amanda’s name on a contract for a live show in Vegas, Amanda knows she has to get away. Going back to her childhood home, to the safety of her father and her sister, is her best option. But returning means facing some of the ghosts from her past, including Tommy Belfiore, a handsome firefighter and the only man she ever truly loved.
Two sisters. Two extraordinary gifts. One chance at happiness. Will they be brave enough to take it?
I have my hands full taking care of my little sister and covering for my uncle as ranch foreman. The last thing I need is a Texas princess like Callie Llewellyn getting up in my business and messing with my head.

There's only one rule to keeping my job and a roof over my sister's head: stay away from the boss's granddaughter. But I'm not always great at following the rules.
