The Chase (2018)

Elle Kennedy

Others: Positive

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me.

    JORDAN He took me in when I had nowhere else to go. He doesn't use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He doesn't treat me like I'm nothing, take me for granted, or make me feel unsafe. He remembers me, laughs with me, and looks at me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work. I have to stop this. It can't happen. My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he's probably unavailable. Only Pike Lawson isn't the unavailable one. I am. PIKE I took her in, because I thought I was helping. She'd cook a few meals and clean up a little. It was an easy arrangement. As the days go by, though, it's becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can't touch her, and I shouldn't want to. The more I find my path crossing hers, though, the more she's becoming a part of me. But we're not free to give into this. She's nineteen, and I'm thirty-eight. And her boyfriend's father. Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house. *BIRTHDAY GIRL is a stand-alone, contemporary romance suitable for ages 18+.

    Hallie When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his. When I was thirteen, he was my first crush. When I was sixteen, we fell for each other. And when I was nineteen, we broke each other's hearts. Six years later, I've landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city. Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for. I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door. Even worse? The renovation project I'm assigned to in hopes of turning that internship into my full-time dream job... It's his house. But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home when we can't even stand to be in the same room? I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I'm not that same girl anymore. Rio I never thought I'd be the only single one left in my friend group. But after years of trying to find love, I've concluded it may not exist for me anymore. That is until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and our jaded history has me rewinding memories I've kept secret for years. You see, there's something that my friends don't know. That connection I've been looking for since I moved to Chicago, that one person some search their entire lives to find... I had already found her when I was twelve years old. And now the only girl I've ever loved is moving into the house next door. Again.

    I'm the golden boy of professional bull riding. Or at least I was until it all blew up in my face. Now, my agent says I have to clean up my image, so I'm stuck with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as my "full-time supervision." But I don't need a goddamn babysitter, especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can't stop running . . . A mouth I can't stop thinking about. She says this means nothing. I say this means everything. She says there are boundaries we shouldn't cross. That my reputation can't take any more hits-and neither can her damaged heart. I say I'm going to steal it anyway.

    He has to play by the rules...but for her, he'd break them all. As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world. ​ But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in his worst nightmare scenario-secretly sharing a flat with his coach's daughter, knowing full well she's far too big a temptation for him to resist. ​ When his new living arrangements escalate into a bet that throws them even closer together, he realizes he's in deeper trouble than he thought. ​ He's always played to win-but for her, he might just risk it all. ​ ​ As a sports nutritionist and the daughter of a legendary coach, Brooklyn Armstrong is used to dealing with hotshot athletes. ​ However, no player gets under her skin like Vincent, her best friend's infuriatingly cocky (and gorgeous) brother. She left California hoping for a fresh start, and he's the kind of distraction she doesn't need. ​ Now, he's sleeping in the room next to hers while her career is up in the air and her defenses are crumbling. ​ But no matter how many sparks fly between them, a relationship between the captain and the coach's daughter could never work...could it?

    Dreams are desires of the heart; Nightmares, my obsession. Erika When I have it close to me, I tremble. Of fear and desire. Michael Crist, my ex-boyfriend's older brother, is like one of those movies that, even though it's scary, you can't stop watching. Handsome, strong, and intimidating, I've watched him for years, wishing I was closer to see if what is said about him is true. He's the star of his university's basketball team, he'd never noticed me and he'd barely looked at me... Until now. He's got something on his mind, I can feel it, I can almost taste it but, knowing everything I know, do I really want to find out what he has planned? Michael I want to get revenge. Almost as much as owning it. Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika. You could say he grew up in my house, he's always been around. She looks away when I walk into a room and stays still when I'm around. I can feel the tension he gives off, his desire for more; I don't have his body but I know I've caught his mind. And now, the opportunity to avenge what happened a few years ago is too good to be true. I've been patient. I've waited for the moment. Every last of your nightmares will come true. When passion and danger mix, anything can happen.
