Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.⁣ Secrets that cost us everything to keep.⁣ That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.⁣ Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

Once upon a time... There lived an ambitious boy determined to become a man before his time. And a woman and battered soldier who recognized the scars that marred his soul—scars that mirrored her own. Determined to help shape the warrior within him, it was their inexplicable bond that would forever alter his heart. And the loss of that love that would redefine his destiny. After all, nothing has ever been fair in love and war.

Thirty years ago, my father became the other half of a broken love story. A relationship he’s kept hidden for decades. Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper’s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father’s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up.

Once upon a time… there lived a man with a vengeance-filled heart that held too many secrets and a woman, pure of soul, intent on uncovering them. What they failed to realize is that through the storm their love would create, a legacy would be born.

When an A-list celebrity dives deep into a role by utilizing method acting, his wife will have to figure out how to get her husband back in this posh Hollywood romance.

Au sommet de sa carrière de journaliste musicale, Stella a la vie qu'elle veut, celle qu'elle a toujours imaginée. Elle a enfin trouvé son tempo, son rythme. Du moins, jusqu'à ce qu'elle reçoive un appel téléphonique qui rende tout dissonant. Alors, pour effacer ses doutes, elle abandonne son vol en première classe afin de louer une voiture, les yeux fixés sur le rétroviseur. Deux jours de voyage, et une playlist qui ressemble à la bande-son de sa vie. Pourtant, comment choisir sa chanson préférée ? Surtout quand on est amoureuse de la mélodie d'un homme, mais des paroles d'un autre.

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me. It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here. I can still feel them all, my boys of summer. Even when I'd sensed the danger, I gave in. I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness and my love both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered. There was never going to be an escape. All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us are serving our own sentences.

Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

„Die einzige Liebe, die ich je gekannt habe, ist die, die mich krank macht – krank vor Sehnsucht, vor Lust, vor Kummer. Die Art von Liebe, die Narben und gebrochene Herzen hinterlässt.” Trotz der enormen Anziehung steht die Beziehung zwischen Tobias und Cecelia auf unstetem Grund. Tobias tut sich schwer damit Nähe zuzulassen, Cecelia kämpft wiederum damit, Tobias nach allem, was passiert ist, zu vertrauen. Was sie nicht weiß: Tobias hat gute Gründe für sein Verhalten und diese liegen weit in der Vergangenheit verborgen.

Through the years, I lived more as an enigma than a man. For so long, I denied I had a beating heart of my own. Until her. Until she unearthed the starving vessel inside, forced me to acknowledge it, forced me to understand that I’m capable of bleeding the same as any other. For that, we paid. We're still paying. Yet she demands it still; the useless heart of the ruthless thief and shameless villain she fell for. My fear is that I’m no longer that man.

My priorities were instilled in me early on—family and football. Those ideals led me to TGU and a coach whose ironclad principles mirrored my own. With one last college season to play, my goal was singular—get drafted. By realizing my NFL dream, I could save my family, our ranch, and the only home I’d ever known. Two birds, one ball. Playing hard was my only option, but there’s always a wild card. For all of my planning and hard work, I never anticipated falling for the coach's daughter.

It started with a lie. A night of blurred lines between a teacher and a student. I wasn’t her student, yet it was the single most defining night of my life. I’ve never been the man she thinks I am. Most people have no idea about the life I’ve lived or the words that ring true when it comes to me—still waters run deep. But you’d be hard-pressed to find a coed on the TGU campus who knows otherwise…because I’ve never corrected them. The clock is ticking down, it’s Fourth and Inches with the ball inside the one-yard line and the focus is on me, The Guy on the Left.

We fell in love in a lightning strike. He knew right away, yet I was hesitant. I could have never prepared myself for a love like ours. No one could. As a child, I had conjured an amazing story in my mind. It was a story I could retell about a man who would move me like no other, a story about the way we met and how he had swept me off my feet. But the ending to that fairytale was so far from the reality. No one will want to hear that story now, but for Grant, I will always tell it.

What I thought was my pre-destined path was very much an illusion. Living seven years with regret, I realized too late that I was broken and that I only had myself to blame. I thought love could wait.... but it didn't. We'd had it all those years ago, and then I foolishly left it behind. She was all that mattered. She was all there ever was. There was no life without Dallas, no reason... except her.

For the last ten years, I've roamed the globe, captivated by the world around me. I've seen the seven wonders and admired sunsets from every continent. I've lived and loved, and that was enough for me. It would have to be. I was content, satisfied with my collection of experiences... until a phone call led me down a road less traveled. If I'd known my fascination would pique and be forever quenched only a few hundred miles from where my curiosity had been born, I may have never set sail.

Nessuno sa chi sia Tobias King. Forse, nemmeno lui stesso. I conti in sospeso con un passato difficile e violento non hanno mai permesso al Francese di mostrarsi per ciò che è veramente. Il misterioso leader dei Ravenhood ha vissuto gran parte della vita nell'ombra, animato da un'unica ossessione: saziare la sua sete di vendetta. Ma ora che finalmente i tempi sono maturi per passare all'azione, a scompaginare i piani è arrivata Cecelia Horner. La ragazza ha rinunciato a tutto per lui, e se in un primo momento Tobias ha cercato di tenerla a distanza per proteggerla, adesso la pretende.

"Ich habe getan, was Diebe tun. Ich habe dich gestohlen..." Was für Cecelia Horner wie ein langweiliges Jahr begann, entwickelte sich zum Sommer ihres Lebens, nachdem sie Sean, Dominic und die Bruderschaft der Raben kennengelernt hat. Doch mit der Rückkehr von Tobias, dem Anführer der Gruppe, endet ihr neu gewonnenes Glück jäh. Dem gefährlichen Franzosen ist Cecelia ein Dorn im Auge, denn sie könnte seine lange geschmiedeten Rachepläne durchkreuzen. Cecelia wiederum hat allen Grund Tobias für das, was er ihr angetan hat, zu hassen.

L'estate a Triple Falls è finita, e per Cecelia Horner quella che doveva essere solo una breve parentesi prima di riprendere in mano il suo destino si è rivelato il periodo più eccitante della sua vita. In pochi mesi ha imparato che nelle questioni di cuore le regole non esistono e non sempre è obbligatorio scegliere. Accantonato ogni senso di colpa, si è tuffata in un triangolo amoroso con Sean e il suo amico Dominic, che ha liberato le sue fantasie ed esaudito i desideri più inconfessabili, anche quelli che non sapeva di avere.

Manca un anno all'inizio del college, ma per Cecelia Horner il destino ha piani meno scontati. Suo padre, un industriale multimilionario e anaffettivo con cui non ha rapporti da tempo, le ha fatto un'offerta difficile da rifiutare: andare a lavorare per un periodo nella sua azienda con la prospettiva di mettere dei soldi da parte ed ereditare, prima o poi, il suo impero.
