Until I fumbled the ball.
Everything I cared about was ripped away, and now my life has turned into something I no longer recognize. When I’m forced to move back home, I find myself face-to-face with the reminder of my own self-destruction.
Wyatt Clayton.
He wants nothing to do with me and I don’t blame him. I irrevocably broke us, and he made it clear there's nothing I can do to change the past. But I've lost too much to add him to the pile, and I’ll do anything it takes to get him back.
I need him. He’s my rock, my true dream, my everything.
My Wyatt.



Wyatt-
I thought I was done feeling pain like this.
When Paxton left--turning his back on me and everything we'd shared--I shattered. It took years to put the jagged edges of myself back together, but I managed to create something whole, if not imperfect.
Then he came back, and the shaky foundation I was standing on crumbled.
Now I’m adrift, drowning in the memories, while choking on his presence. He says he wants me back in his life--but my heart won't survive another break.
I have to resist him, and my long-buried emotions, but it's starting to feel impossible. How can I stay strong when he’s the same boy I fell in love with.

Joke’s on me because it feels like everything is working against me, especially the weather. What are the odds that a heavy snowstorm would hit, leaving me snowed in with my ex and in-laws?

I’m only here in the first place because of our kids. I mean, how could I look in their pleading eyes and not stay? Especially when I know they just want us together as a family, like old times. Except it’s not like old times. There are reasons why we aren’t together anymore, and I need to keep those in mind instead of acting like everything is normal. Yet, here we are. All sitting on the couch in matching Christmas pajamas, watching Elf like the last several months never happened—as if we’re not on the verge of a divorce.

I thought I could do this, but as the snow piles up and the days fly by, the feelings I thought had long since faded have come rushing back. I love him. It’s always been him, and it’s even more confusing because I can tell he’s feeling it as well.

They say the holidays are magical and I can’t help but hope there’s some magic working to heal us… After all, you should always expect the unexpected.

Tall, dark, handsome, and everything I didn’t know I wanted. He made me feel so many things, so deeply, so quickly.

That was okay, because I was happy.

We were happy.

Until we weren’t.

He took everything I thought we were and shattered it. I don’t even recognize the man I call my husband anymore.

My mom used to say that every good comes from evil and evil comes from good. It took me a long time to understand the truth of that testimony but I understand it now.

Roman was my hell and I was his redemption, but as with everything there are two sides to every story.

This is ours.

Are you ready?

I come from a long line of con artists and crooks.
In a family where money and power outweigh integrity, there’s only been one person I could always count on. My best friend, my other half, my twin; until he betrayed me.
Thanks to his lies, both my family and the media are breathing down my neck, giving me no choice but to ‘seek help’ at some fancy rehab resort.
Whatever.
I’ll do my time, go through the motions with this stupid five-step program, then wash my hands of this place and my past.
But why not have a good time while I’m here?
Specifically, with the mysterious man I feel a strong, undeniable pull toward.
At first, it’s just some fun—a way to decompress after everything I’ve been through. Only we grow closer, and I catch feelings, despite thinking I’d never trust anyone again.
Big mistake.
It turns out, the person I fell for is not who I thought he was. And I don’t know what’s worse—my shattered heart or the scandal that caused it.]]> 214 T. Ashleigh Addison 5 3.97

The mess that is my life started with one too many tequila shots.
Well, I guess you could say the disaster really started two years ago when I met Sterling Jacobson, my best friend’s older brother, for the first time. He’s off limits, someone I can never have. So why do I have to want him the most?
I really need to get him, and the night we shared out of my head. There’s no better way to do that than on a summer trip to Sicily with my best friend.
That was the plan until everything went sideways, leaving me stuck in one of the most romantic destinations in the world with the man I’m trying to get over. I can’t act on my desires again, no matter how badly I want to.

Sterling-

Even though Ledger is everything I’ve always wanted wrapped up in one tempting package, I kept myself at a distance and never acted on my emotions.
It was going well until one tequila-fueled night led to a drunken hook-up. It’s been weeks now, but I can’t seem to move past our night together. Not when it was only a small taste of what I’ve been craving for so long.
When I find out he’s going away to Italy for the summer, I’m relieved. As much as I don’t want him to go, I know it’s best for both of us to get some space.
But then my sister called, needing my help, and I had no choice but to board the next plane to Italy.
Now here I am, alone in Sicily with Ledger… what could possibly go wrong?

]]> 122874808 I’ve loved him since before I understood what love meant.
My best friend, my secret keeper, my defender.
The boy with the glasses and quiet temperament.
The guy with the sweetest smile, who has the dirtiest mouth.
The man who owns me. Mind, body, and soul.
I’m ready for the world to know that he’s mine. To love him out loud.
The problem? Winston isn’t ready. And I’m not sure he ever will be.
Loving Winston was never optional for me.
I want to be his everything, instead, I feel as though I’m disposable to him.
After all, how could I not be when I’m his dirty little secret?

Winston:
Being a Connley comes with certain expectations.
Go to school, take over the family business, marry a woman, and have two point five kids.
So, imagine how life would be if the prodigal son turned out gay?
I don’t want to cause a rift in my family. So instead, I grit my teeth and plaster on a fake smile to avoid dealing with the bullshit.
The problem? I’m completely, unbelievably, devastatingly in love with Rhys Evander.
I know I need to stop hiding. I need to own who I am.
It’s not fair to Rhys for me to keep him on the sidelines, yet fear keeps me paralyzed.
I just hope I have the guts to follow my heart before it’s too late.
Because losing Rhys is never going to be an option for me.

]]> 137136057 Some days I wish I’d never met Gregory Baldwin. Then there are days when I feel like I’ll die if he’s away for too long.
It’s like I’m addicted to him. Addicted to the attention he gives me and what he does to me in secret. He has lips made for sin and a body I can’t keep my hands off of, but mostly, I know he has a heart. That’s what keeps me coming back.
Now he’s cruel, malicious, possessive… nothing like the boy I once knew. And yet, deep down, I know that guy is still there under this bad boy exterior. He has to be, or everything we’ve been through is pointless.
Being with him feels like dying and surviving all at once. It’s wild, manic, and soul-crushing, but it’s us. He’s all I’ve ever had and the only thing I’ll ever want.
Because even when I hate him…
I love him ten times harder.

Greg-
I’m broken beyond repair, too fucked up to be saved. My mind fights demons daily, while the shattered organ in my chest only causes me pain.
I wish I could just end it all. Say goodbye to this miserable existence.
Only, to leave this life would mean leaving him, and that’s not something I can do.
Once I made a promise to a boy that I plan on keeping. The years may have dragged us apart, and I know he hates me now, but that’s okay. I don’t blame him; I hate myself, too.
Regardless of the animosity, one thing remains the Tyler.
He’s the constant in a haze of self-destruction. The one who somehow, after everything, is still there for me, no matter how badly I mess up.
I don’t deserve him. I never did, but I’ll never let him go either.
He is mine, and I am his.]]> 300 T. Ashleigh Addison 5 4.13

]]> 122873835 I don't have repeats, I don’t do feelings, and I definitely don’t make commitments.
If you come to me expecting your knight in shining armor, be prepared for disappointment.
It’s my senior year, and I want to enjoy my last bit of freedom before following the path my father has mapped out for me.
Well, that was the plan until Ryan showed up and ruined everything.
Fun.
That's all it was supposed to be, a game—just a way to mess with the new kid.
Except, what started as a game quickly turned into me catching feelings.
And what’s worse, he may never forgive me once he finds out.

Ryan:
This year has been chock-full of bad moments and even worse decisions.
The first was when my mom told me she was getting married again.
The second was being shipped off to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere.
The third was thinking I could trust the fuckboys of Lionheart Academy.
But the worst of them all was the fourth.
I should have known better. I should have listened to my gut.
Rich boys don’t have hearts.
And Hudson Reginn is no exception.
