Never did I think a girl like Gretchen Hawthorne would be the woman of my dreams. She is stubborn, irritating, and can piss me off at the drop of a hat. But she is also sweet and has a vulnerability about her that she doesn't allow many to see. She let me in for a split second, and what I found was even more than I had bargained for. Her façade is nothing more than a mask to hide her fears. One wild night in the barn at my cousin's house, and I'm hooked.

On the outside, I was nothing more than the fun-loving guy that made everyone laugh. But on the inside, there was more hate than I knew how to control. No one knew the life I'd led; I hid my demons well. But even in all the anger and pain, there was one spark of sweetness. She was younger than me, so innocent, and worst of all, my best friend's little sister. Grace was off limits. Wanting her led to the possibility of losing the only true family I'd had left.

I was the ultimate bachelor. I enjoyed my wild life, the late nights, and the fact that I had no commitments. My job and my freedom were all I needed. Or so I thought. Chloe was sweet and kind, and the way she got so flustered in my presence was adorable. That smile of hers did things to a man. And her laugh? It was infectious. She had this gravitating pull that was irresistible.

Maddison used to be one of the guys, but that was definitely not the case anymore . . She had changed and damn if it didn't make my heart race. With each passing second, she began to consume me. Her smile made my knees weak and the way she looked at me took my breath away. She captivated me, but she was forbidden. She was the one girl I had no right to crave.

Sofia is struggling. She's trying to navigate a tragic breakup, she's lost her job, and life seems to have no intention of giving her a break anytime soon. Jack owns Euphoria, one of the most popular nightclubs in the city. From the outside, he looks like he's got it all. If only that were the case. In a bid to rid himself of his recent heartbreak, Jack takes a break from being the responsible owner of his club and decides to see it through the eyes of a patron in search of a good time. What he finds is Sofia . . . and a one night stand that sets both their worlds on fire.

I've longed to hear the words of love from a good man. A dependable man. For so long, I didn't believe I'd ever deserve more than what I'd been offered. He made me see I was wrong. I deserved love. Happiness. Him. Brantley Marbury. The hero I didn't know I needed. The man who stole my heart with a simple touch, sweet words, and a flaming desire to claim me. The thing with happiness, though, is that it can be ripped away at a moment's notice.

It's lonely at the top. I knew it would be when I clawed my way up here, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where I am today, the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry.

She brought me to my knees with that beautiful smile. She made me laugh and slowly brought the old me back to life.
