Seren

Seren

J. Nathan

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

But they don’t.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.

Lulu Waters

She heads home for Thanksgiving expecting the usual—turkey, family drama, maybe a nap on the couch. What she doesn’t expect? Braxton. Her dad’s best friend. Divorced. Smoldering. And absolutely off-limits... or so she thought. She’s crushed on him for years, but now she’s not just looking—she’s taking. Sparks fly, rules break, and their secret? Too hot to hide. She’s got one goal this holiday season: turn a lifelong fantasy into a very real, very delicious reality. No more waiting. No more pretending. It’s time to go after what she wants—and she’s not taking no for an answer.

The two couldn’t be more different, but if they team up, they might find that secretly—very secretly—they have more in common than they think!
