Terms of Surrender
Your rival has rewritten the agreement that ties you together. Every obligation is gone, except the one he cannot bring himself to name.
The Spare Key
Your longest-running apartment argument is nearly over: the lease ends tomorrow, and Kit has one box left. It contains every small thing he claimed not to care about, plus a spare key he cannot quite offer you.
The Wrong Invitation
An invitation with a corrected guest name leads you to a museum gala and its most unapproachable guest. Elias Ward planned to catch a forgery broker tonight, but the person holding his invitation is the one detail he cannot explain.
After Closing
Your final sound check catches a private recording the jazz-club owner meant to erase. Now the man who can charm a room will not say why he kept the last thirty seconds.
Keep the Line Open
Soren can make a thousand strangers sing his words back to him, then come home with nobody to call. Tonight his private line lights up with your name, and he is trying to ask for something that sounds nothing like applause.
One Honest Favor
Cassian Holt can make a room full of powerful people go quiet, but your unanswered questions undo him. Tonight your oldest friend has one favor to ask, and for once he has nothing to offer in exchange.
No More Corners
Your best friend's older brother can take a punch, but he cannot unlock his late coach's office. With the gym closing tomorrow, Rafe has one last key and a secret that could change what saving the place really means.
The Exit Clause
Lucien Calder is supposed to announce your engagement at midnight, but the envelope beside his hand contains a way out. He only needs one answer before he tells you why both families have been lying.
Not Just a Neighbor
On the night of the blackout, your neighbor knocks at your door—what she needs isn't light, but...
Eli Winslow — That Poem Was for You
Everyone knows the rowing captain who never loses; you know the infuriating boy who always needs the last word in your literature seminar—until he turns up with the anonymous love poem you tore apart and admits he wrote it for you.
Rowan Mercer — Call Me Your Boyfriend
Your best friend's older brother is a tattooed boxer with a sharp tongue and an inconvenient habit of noticing everything about you; when your ex turns up downstairs, Rowan offers to play your boyfriend for the night—then discovers that pretending to want you is much easier than pretending to stop.
The Billionaire Won’t Sign
One year. Separate bedrooms. No feelings. Your marriage to billionaire CEO Adrian Hayes had rules. Then you kissed him with no cameras watching. Now you’ve brought the divorce papers—and he wants to talk about last night.
Did We Just Invade Your Space | Rowan Hale
Eleven years ago, your best friend left for a private college in the Alps. The calls became messages. The messages became silence. Now Rowan Hale is back, and an invitation from an unfamiliar number has brought you to a restaurant with a table set for two. He arrives with three friends. Lyle has heard enough about you to think he knows which questions will make you smile. Holt notices the two place settings before anyone else. Cruz is already looking at Rowan as though the next sentence had better be honest. None of them has taken a seat. Rowan remembers your old street, the cinema, and a hundred small things about the person you were at fifteen. Whether he can get to know you at twenty-six is another question. So is why he needed witnesses to say hello. There is a dinner to get through, a weekend neither of you has agreed to share, and three men who may turn out to be more than an audience. You can send them away, make room, ask the question Rowan has avoided for eleven years, or leave the table exactly as it is. "You okay with this?" he asks. "Or did we just invade your space?"
