I’m being forced to move in with my brother’s best friend. After my life falls apart, the last person I want to face is my childhood crush. Much less live with him. Unfortunately for me, my overprotective brother and his equally overprotective best friend show up on my doorstep and don’t take no for an answer. I put up my best fight, but it’s no use. Soon enough, I’m boarding a plane with them and my newborn son.

My ex-boyfriend is engaged to my stepsister. Yeah, it shocked me too. So much so, that when my ex tells me, I grab the first guy I see and pretend he’s my fiancé. Somehow it only gets wilder from there, because the guy I grab happens to be Grayson Carter, a notorious flirt and extrovert to the max. Also, the guy I turned down a month before while dating said ex-boyfriend. Grayson surprisingly goes along with my plan, throwing pet names and flirty lines at me all while putting on this protective facade in front of my ex that makes my knees weak.

It’s not stalking if he’s your hot neighbor…right? At least, that’s what I tell myself when Adrian Carter moves in next door. His scowl should make me want to run in the other direction, but when I catch him smothering a smile around me, it makes me want to get to know him more. And when Adrian starts to open up, I find myself falling in love with the cinnamon roll center hidden beneath his gruff exterior. But between my emotional baggage and his aversion to relationships, it’s looking like we’ll never be more than neighborly.

In der Vorlesung seines Philosophieprofessors zu sitzen, nachdem man eine Nacht mit ihm verbracht hat, ist ein prickelndes Gefühl. Erst recht, wenn es sich dabei um den Schwarm aller Studentinnen, Aiden Hastings handelt. Professor Hastings ist anspruchsvoll. Streng. Und Hazel weiß, wie er nackt aussieht. Herauszufinden, wie man eine Beziehung mit einem erfahrenen Mann mit dunklen Vorlieben führt, ist nicht leicht.

Hazel studiert in London und findet Menschen anstrengend. Anstatt Partys mit ihren Kommilitonen zu feiern, verbringt sie die Wochenenden mit ihrem Zwillingsbruder Mike bei Filmen und alten Serien. In letzter Zeit kämpft die junge Studentin aber immer mehr mit den Auswirkungen ihrer kühlen Ausstrahlung auf andere. Ihre Sehnsucht nach neuen Erfahrungen entlädt sich in einem Aufsatz, den sie ausgerechnet im Kurs des berüchtigten Philosophieprofessors schreibt. Professor Hastings ist anspruchsvoll. Streng. Attraktiv.

Lines had been drawn and sides had been taken years ago. The King family did not interact with the Elliot family, and neither did the Grahams nor the Castros. The Elliots had burned those bridges decades ago, and none of the Bank Street crew made mention of them. They certainly never ate at their restaurant. The Elliots didn't shop at King's Hardware, go to Bank Street Boxing, or the ballet studio on the corner. In fact, they didn't even go to Carson's Diner. The Elliot family stayed off of Bank Street entirely. Both families had a stake in Galveston, but they lived without supporting each other or interacting in any way.
