Then she meets sweet, six-year-old Maisie—and her infuriatingly handsome father, Sawyer. He’s overprotective, guarded, and impossible… but also impossible to ignore.

Can she break through his walls, or is she doomed to another heartbreak?

No Such Thing

No Such Thing

Tiff

There’s no such thing as fairytales. There’s no such thing as fidelity. Anything can happen at any moment. One minute you can be so happy that all you want to do is scream, and the next… you’re sitting all alone in your bedroom crying your eyes out because the one person who you thought would be there with you through anything, isn’t there anymore. I watched my mom’s heart break.

So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can’t. I won’t.

Love is an illusion – There’s just no such thing.

Mary E Thompson

Who needs men when you have cupcakes? Life was good. I didn’t need anything. Especially not a sexy, funny, sweet stranger who wanted to go on a date. My friends told me to give him a chance, but I knew he’d take one look at my curvy body and come up with a reason not to go out again. So, I gave him an out. He didn’t take it. The man was relentless. He liked my curves, and he wanted more than just phone calls. He wanted me. How could I say no to that?

Tijan

To survive where I live, you have two options.

You can be a Normal—a cheerleader, jock, member of the debate team, or on the yearbook committee. You pretend everything is normal.

Or you can be crew.

You insult us? We hurt you.

You hurt us? We really hurt you.

And if you f*ck with us, we will end you.

My name is Bren.

I'm the only female in the Wolf Crew—the best, fiercest, and most dangerous crew there is—and we have a rule: There's no falling in love.

Well… too late.
