'My job is simple; protect Olive. Whatever she needs. Including spending the summer with the family of her intended fiancé.

'Mav Vitali is anything but simple. Olive's future husband. Heir to his father's crime empire, he's as deadly as he is gorgeous.

'I have one job. One. Goddamned. Job. My life is hers. So, of course I fall head over heels into lust at first sight with Mav.

'I could have resisted, he's an arsehole after all, if the feeling hadn't been mutual. And it takes just one inadvisable kiss for him to decide I will be his at any cost. Luckily, Olive's had more spark with a wet towel but, when a stalker comes after her, we've all got other things on our minds.

'To save her, I'll have to team up with the man I love to hate. As the stalker grows closer, so do we. But what price will we pay to be together?' (Publication summary)

'I was the juvenile delinquent now in her late-twenties and with very little hope in sight. But I got along okay. I had a good group of friends, some delicious eye-candy, and my business was growing in leaps and bounds. Going out for a few benders with the girls of a Saturday night was what being in your twenties was all about. Right? Who needed to settle down?

'My life is mess and disorder, but maybe there's one man who'll make me want to straighten it out.

'Gavin

'When I was younger, they called me the gentle giant. I was actually one of the most picked on kids at school because I refused to return a punch. It wasn't just that I knew, as the biggest kid, I'd get into the biggest trouble. I just didn't like trouble. Odd then that I ended up in the Navy and turning a blind eye to the antics of the Grace Grayson boys.

'My life is ordered and stable, but maybe there's one rebel who'll make me want to shake it up.'(Publication summary)

'ASHTON
'I’d lived my new life for six years, part of this whole family thing. And I supposed it wasn’t so bad. But with a legacy of sweeping love stories to live up to, my aunt and uncles are a total pain in the arse about me finding my true love. My solution? Get me a fake girlfriend.
I wasn’t the hero sort, but Lexi makes me want to be better. She makes the idea of living up to my aunts’ and uncles’ expectations far sweeter.
It doesn’t have to be pretend.

'LEXI
'My life had changed eight years ago when my family had fallen apart. But I supposed it wasn’t so bad. My brother and I survived. I was his legal guardian now and had no time for romance. But being a hot guy’s fake girlfriend for a while could be a good distraction.
I never wanted a hero – I was more than prepared to take care of myself – but he’s got the makings of the sort of partner I wouldn’t mind keeping around.
Too bad it’s all just pretend.'  (Publication summary)

'Sometimes, you've got to let go of all you've held on to.

'I feel like I've been given a place in life – expectations of me – that it's useless fighting. So I don't bother. I'm the guy they all think I am; fighting, smoking, drinking. Because what else is Roman Lombardi but a troubled teen?

'No one's convinced I've got anything going for me. I take what – and who – I want when I want it, and never think about anything more than a couple of hours in the future.

'One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident Miss Popular, and she surprises me. With Piper, I can be whatever me I am. I can be the surly, troubled teen and…it's enough. I'm enough. Feeling shit together makes things just a little less shit. Until it becomes more.

'But, I don't do more. Do I?

'What do you do when you find perfection by accident, in the least likely of places?

'Maybe you can't believe you're finally worth it.'

'When I find a half-naked guy standing in my dormitory at my new boarding school, I assume he's my roommate's boyfriend.

'He introduces himself as Alex and I introduce myself as Lottie.

'When he tells me he's Sasha and was expecting Elliott, I see what happened.

'Someone knew I was a girl or he was a guy, and made some glaringly incorrect assumptions about the other one, meaning we were assigned as roommates.

'The new dorm mistress tells us we're stuck with each other, at least for the short-term. What starts out as playful ribbing between my studious self and the ripped jock becomes something a little more friendly as his friends take me in as one of their own.

'Soon, I'm their ticket to the ways of the female heart. But not my heart. Because, I mean, no one falls in love just because of a roommate mistake.' (Publication summary)

'Breaking up is hard to do. Whether you're breaking up with a bad habit, a life you know, or your first boyfriend. But we all have to do it. It's just one of the many sucky things about growing up. Some of us do it better than others. I do it badly.

'Wade Phillips shattered Lisa McGinty's heart in Year 10 for no known reason. One minute he was the perfect boy-next-door boyfriend, star goalie on the soccer team, and future head prefect. The next he was like a different person altogether, dumping Lisa and systematically making his way through every girl in our year.' (Publication summary)

'LUTHER

'I hadn't seen her in fifteen years. She'd moved away and we'd gone our separate ways. I'd never forgotten her, but she'd faded into a distant memory. I'd never thought of reaching out, but I had to tell her our son had arrived on my doorstep, even if he begged me not to.

'I know Ashton doesn't mean we have to be together, but as soon as I see her the old spark is reignited even stronger than before.

'This time I won't let her walk away.

'KATE

'I'd kept the secret for fifteen years. I'd left the first boy I'd ever loved before I found out, and after it just seemed like I'd be messing up both our lives. I told myself for years that we were all better off. Then Ashton goes and decides to blow the whole thing wide open.

'I always hated people who stayed together for the sake of a child. But maybe, as much as I love him, it's less because of our son and more in spite of.

'Maybe this time I won't push him away.'

'OSCAR

'She'd been part of my life for over a decade, slowly becoming as much my friend as Lucy's. But it was becoming harder to hide my attraction to her. She was full of life, outgoing, loud, not a virgin. All the things I wasn't. How could a guy not be drawn to her?

'She was my first kiss. My first crush. She's become an honorary Sykes girl. But I wished for more. I wanted her to be my Sykes girl. If only I knew how to talk to girls.
But, could she be my forever?

'BRIT

'I'd joked about that Sykes sandwich for almost a decade, but it was all to hide exactly how much I pined for my best friend's brother. He was the sweetest guy I'd ever met, a total beta surrounded by alphas. But Oscar has always been oblivious when it came to relationships.

'Then he asks me to help him be better with the ladies. That's right, Captain Oblivious wants some more insight. Can I help him get more game without totally losing my heart?

'Or, could he be my forever?'

'Nora

'As the female bassist in an otherwise all-male rockband, I had an image to maintain – relaxed, laidback, available. One-Night Nora was what the headlines called me and I relished it. My freedom meant everything to me and that freedom had become my brand. Until I get a stalker and our manager hires a dude from Grace Grayson.

'I've heard they're the most satisfying firm in the country and I'm more than happy to give their reputation a try. Except, when it comes down to it, I can't follow through. Ryder is funny, gorgeous, kind, and sweet in his own way. I don't want our time together to come to an end, so I'm adamant I won't sleep with him.

'But my restraint only goes so far and I'm all too aware that all good things must come to an end sometime. Still, it's only one night. Or so I tell myself until our easy banter disappears under the deafening unspoken knowledge that we both want more.

'He's the sort of guy who can rock my whole world, if I could just roll with it. And he's making it harder and harder to pretend it means nothing. After all, rock and roll just go together.

'Ryder

'It took some serious convincing on my part, but eventually the boss man let me have the VIP. And what a VIP she turned out to be. But some one-night rocker she turns out to be. The woman isn't falling for any of my numerous charms, no matter how close I seem to get. But the more time I spend with her, the more I don't mind. This is one good thing I never want to end.

'With a voice like a fallen angel and a personality that would make Lucifer himself blush, Nora's the kind of person I don't mind being around. The fact all that comes in a female form that does strange, exciting things to me is just icing. Being with her is like being with a friend you want to bone, only I'm beginning to think maybe I'm interested in more than just the benefits.

'Despite watching three of my best mates settle down, I never thought I'd follow suit. But, this chick has me wondering if it would be so bad after all. It's as terrifying as it is motivating to think I could fall in love. I'm sure I could so long as I don't focus too hard on the terrifying bit.

'She's the sort of woman to rock my whole world, if only she'd just roll with it. I'll have to pull out all the stops, but I'll do it to prove it to her. After all, rock and roll just go together.'

'Raegan

'I was used to being the smartest person in a room, the nerd queen my boss looked to when things went wrong. And boy, did they go wrong. Super wrong. Enter Nico Daniels. Ex-military. Tall, built, smoking hot. He wears suits like they were poured onto his body. He has a mouth that would make Satan blush. And I thought my Nan was bossy? Nico makes her look tame.

'Girls like me want a guy as nerdy as them. Girls like me need a nerd on the streets and a beast in the sheets, but guys like that are practically impossible to find. They're rarer than the mythical unicorn, the legendary eight hours of sleep a night, or the fabled second orgasm. But a highly frustrated girl's only got so much restraint. So, maybe one night won't hurt? Or two.

'Nico and I are all sorts of wrong for each other. Sure, the guy makes me scream his name in absolute ecstasy. But the rest of the time I want to smash my keyboard over his cocky head. And that's really not conducive to a healthy relationship.

'If only the man who was a beast in the sheets was a nerd on the streets. If only we had something in common. I need a little nerd in my man and Nico Daniels is anything but nerd. Isn't he?

'Nico

'I hated roleplay. I was bad at it. So, what's my new job? Play the jarhead security guard to some pixie who's got herself into a world of trouble with some shady online shit. The big boss likes his security to look the part. My boss likes to keep him happy. So, it's Converse and nerdy t-shirts off, and tailored suits on and contacts in. Because the tech guy isn't quite so scary.

'Raegan Lane wasn't just in a world of trouble, she was in danger of troubling my strict, orderly world. The guy who's lived behind computers hasn't needed game in a long time, but this little nerd makes me want more than just a couple of games nights. She makes me want everything. But I've hidden from the world for so long, I've forgotten how to human.

'Every time I think I've worked out how to open up to her, all my walls slam back into place. My nerd side has never been what's got ladies into bed – I've picked up a thing or two from my team mates. But that's the side this nerd queen would love, if only I'd let her know it.

'She's the code that could crack all my firewalls, but I'm not sure I know how to be the real me and be a guy someone could love. To keep her, I'm gonna need to let my nerd light shine bright.'

'Girl + guy + three days = greatest love story ever.

'Yeah, right.

'Jess Clayton had no interest in romance. The teen cynic was convinced it was all a ruse made up to lure you into stupidity and part you from your hard-earned pennies. No matter how many people asked her out – not that there was a line or anything – she refused to date.

'When it came to romance, Ryan Miller had been there and done that. The re-reformed bad boy had already done his redemption romance story only to have his supposed one true love go and break his heart. He really wasn’t interested in going through all that mess again.

'So, when the two come together for a Year 12 English camp with the express purpose of testing the legend of Romeo and Juliet falling in love in three days, nothing could possibly go wrong. After all, it was impossible to fall in love with someone in three days. Wasn’t it?

'Wilderness + teenagers + camping = true love?

'Over our dead bodies.'

'Love totally snuck up on me

'Especially when it looked like Lucifer’s son.

'At barely eighteen, I’m married to the son of the Lord of Hell. It wasn’t something I planned and I don’t know I’d recommend it. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Except, there’s pressure on all sides o have a ‘proper wedding’, and everything that involves.

'I love Drake more than I thought was possible. But I’m not sure how to be Drake’s immortal wife as well as the human Wren. But If I could get one minutes’ peace, I might be able to work it out.'

'I spent six years away, part of an elite unit, fighting for my life every day and trying to take my mind off the girl I’d always loved.

'But, when an accident sends me home, I realise it might be time to shed some secrets and tell her I love her, I’ve always loved her.

'I need to make her my girl.

'I don’t know if he’ll ever see me as anything more than a little sister. Not with another in his heart. But, I’m willing to do whatever it takes.
