Oakley has been my best friend since we were eight. We live together, work together, and our lives are completely intertwined. His past girlfriends never understood how close we are, but Oak says the right girl wouldn't be threatened. I'm not so sure. Now we're both dating a pair of best friends who seem to get it. The four of us click instantly, and for once, everything feels… easy. But then a dare leads to a kiss, and suddenly, nothing feels easy at all.

When the hottest guy I've ever seen teaches one of those weird New Age, self-help seminars at my company, I don't exactly pay attention to the content of the presentation. I just know I want to see him again. He's flirty and charming, and I find myself asking him on a date. I'm usually all about casual hookups, but Cody is different. He doesn't care about my family's money or that I'm the owner of an NHL team. He wants to get to know me for me. His sunshine personality is addictive, and I'm worried that one hookup won't be enough.

Attorney and recovering cocaine addict Sam DiCiccio didn't think she was ever going to see her ex-wife Amy Igarashi again, much less wind up defending her against felony insider trading charges. But Amy's been falsely accused, and Sam, who's still in love with her, can't bear to watch her take the fall for a crime she didn't commit. Amy is holding on to resentment from their broken relationship and is hesitant to let Sam back into her life. But that all changes when her assets are frozen by a judge, and Sam is the best and only lawyer she can afford.

Kind, caring, and protective. Those are the three qualities I’m looking for when it comes to my dream man. In a city as big as Chicago, you wouldn’t think he would be that hard to find, right? Wrong. Sure, my boss found a super-sexy detective and my best friend fell madly in love with the most eligible bachelor around. But the only person I’ve met recently is a broody bad boy who saved me at a sketchy pub. He’s grumpy, rude, and honestly, not that likeable at all. Hardly my “dream” guy. So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

Dante Moretti has just landed his dream job: GM of the Chicago Rebels. And screw the haters who think there should be an asterisk next to his name because he's the first out managing executive in pro hockey. He's earned the right to be here, and nothing will topple him off that perch—especially not an incredibly inconvenient attraction to his star defenseman, Cade "Alamo" Burnett. Cade has always been careful to keep his own desires on the down low, but his hot Italian boss proves to be a temptation he can't resist. Sure, they both have so much to lose, but no one will ever know.

Ohne mich noch einmal anzusehen, verschwand er im Wohnzimmer und ich wusste wieder, warum ich Nähe nicht ertrug. Es war nicht das Gefühl währenddessen, sondern die sich ausbreitende Leere danach. Frisch aus dem Gefängnis entlassen ist Caden gezwungen, bei seinem Bruder einzuziehen. Er will nichts mehr, als zu vergessen und frei zu sein. Berührungen sind ihm unerträglich und Nähe zuzulassen scheint unmöglich, bis Luca in sein Leben tritt.

Ich wollte höher fliegen, weiter springen, tiefer tauchen. Hier in dieser Gondel erlaubte ich mir, für einen kurzen Moment zu hoffen. Caden dachte, er hätte das Schlimmste bereits erlebt. Doch als seine Vergangenheit ihn einholt und nicht nur ihn, sondern auch Luca in Gefahr bringt, erkennt er, dass es etwas noch Zerstörerischeres gibt als die Vergangenheit. Hoffnung. Sie lässt ihn höher fliegen und weiter träumen. Doch wer höher fliegt, kann tiefer fallen. Und dann stürzt er. Hart und ungebremst dem Abgrund entgegen.

"Chicago Lights hatte er sie genannt. Aber ich suchte die Dunkelheit, in der ich mich unsichtbar machen konnte. Chicago Darkness, das war eher meine Welt." Mein Name ist Ace und ich lege mich nie unbewaffnet schlafen. Ich verfolge nur ein Ziel und das hat höchste Priorität. Mein Leben: Das eines Einzelgängers Mein Job: Auftragskiller Meine Mission: Die Death List In meiner dunklen Seele war kein Platz für etwas anderes, bis Keith auftauchte. Auf seine Art ist er noch gebrochener als ich und als unsere Welten kollidieren, erinnert er mich daran, was wahrer Schmerz wirklich bedeutet.

At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card, and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute... Then he ghosted me when it got to be too much. A year later, my life is back on track and I’m a candidate firefighter at legendary Engine 6.
