"When it comes to my name, everyone thinks that they know who I am.
To some people, I'm the billionaire that just got named CEO of his family's company and has all the money in the world. To other's, I'm the guy that opened up his home to his brother's children and raised them as his own.
What they don't know is while I am those things, I'm also something else. Something darker. Something more corrupt and I will stop at nothing to get my hands on what I want.
So when a clause is threatening to take a way the one thing I worked so hard to get, I do something that I never thought I'd do willingly. Get married. And the kicker? My new assistant, Ella Vincent, is now my new wife.
This arrangement was only supposed to be for two years and something that benefited the both of us. Yet circumstances are changing. Feelings are developing. And my perspective on marriage is changing.
But aspects of the past start to haunt us and threaten to take my wife away from me and instead of letting her go and walking away from a marriage that started out as a lie, I stop at nothing to keep it intact. Even shedding some blood along the way.
Contains mature themes."
"From the age of five, I knew one thing: Blake Jacobi was going to be in my life for a very long time.
For years, he was my protector, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on. I even followed him to Chicago when he got picked up by an NHL team. Then lines got blurred and we landed in each other's beds, but we were able to push feelings aside and not let a few little slips ruin our friendship.
At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with my best friend, and as much as I want to tell him, I can't. All out of fear of losing him.
So I hold in those words and try to lose myself in relationships that I really shouldn't be in. But my efforts start to feel as if they are for nothing when Blake lands himself in a jail cell. All because of me.
Now those words that I've been wanting to tell him may never see the light of day.
Because after the night that we just had, I might have lost Blake for good."
"The majority of my life has centered around one thing and one thing only. Hockey.
Being the daughter of a player, I know the ins and outs of the sport. Including the hurt that can come with it. I've grown to hate it.
That hate runs so deep that when a player steps into my life in a towel, I do everything I can to hate him too.
After a few summer nights, though, it starts to become impossible.
Especially as the season starts and we spend more time together when I take the position as lead photographer on his team. The same team my dad coaches.
Now I'm back in the hockey world, falling for a grumpy hockey player I should want nothing to do with and dealing with my dad and his apologies.
Fingers crossed being back in this world doesn't hurt me anymore than it already has."

"Posting a 'certain type' of pictures online is never a good idea.
Especially when you’re the star player of your college football team.
But I did it anyway.
Never did I think that by posting my pictures online that I would find someone that I would actually be interested in.
But I did.
I saw her pictures, she commented on mine and the conversations were nonstop. She was the girl of my dreams and I wanted to meet her. Who knew that the girl of my dreams was the shy girl that sat next to me all semester.
Now that I know who she is, I want my shot. Only if she would give it to me. Every chance she gets, I get turned down but I'm not giving up.
I will show her that she is worth it, even if she may not think so.
