"How long do you last in bed?" Those were her first words to me, swiftly followed up with, "And how big would you say you are?" Cue the record scratching, what?! Persephone Alexander. Math genius. Lover of blazers. The only girl I know who can make Heidi braids look sexy as hell. And she's on a mission. Lose her virginity by the end of the semester.

My d*ck never got me in half as much trouble as my heart... We were high school sweethearts. I was head over heels for her and no one could tell me we weren't going to last forever. College? Going pro? My family's money? None of it mattered. She was all I needed. Then she ripped my heart out. But I'm not going to let that happen again. She's back. Invading my life and acting like she was the wronged one. The pain is still there, but I can't keep my eyes off her. I can't stop thinking about her and how much was left unsaid between us. Being this close is making me question everything I thought I knew about her. This time everything will be on my terms. Everything...

My first crush. My first heartbreak. My brother's best friend. The butterflies in my stomach turned into full blown eagles the second our lips touched. A kiss under the stars that changed our relationship forever. After a lifetime of wishing, I stared up into Ford's eyes with his fingers caressing my cheek and my heart racing. The evening ended with my heart bleeding on the ballroom floor. He destroyed my heart two years ago...but now he wants back in my life. This time I won't fall under his spell. I'll resist his sexy, scruffy beard, and panty-melting smirk. I thought I was over him. Hell, I fully planned to wave to him through my rearview mirror...but with one text, in the middle of the night, I know I'm in over my head. Ford: I need you.

Declan McAvoy. Voted Biggest Flirt. Highest goal scorer in Kings of Rittenhouse Prep history. Everyone's impressed, well except one person... After a blow out in high school, Makenna Halstead and I were happy to never have to cross paths again. Except life has a way of knocking you straight in the teeth with a puck when you least expect it. She hasn't just returned to my life, she crashed into it like a wrecking ball...into my college kingdom, into my class, and smack dab into the seat next to mine. My new lab partner to be exact. For years we hated each other... I may be King on the ice, but she is the Ice Queen. She has no problem calling me out, doesn't back down, and her piercing blue eyes have me picturing more than than just my arms wrapped around her. Now we're stuck with each other and there's no getting around that fact that we have to work together. My hockey career hangs in the balance. Problem? Oh, yeah. I can't deny it. I want her. More than I ever thought I could want a woman. I've got one semester-only four months-to convince her everything she thought about me was wrong. Will my queen let me prove to her I'm the King she can't live without? Only one way to find out...

Two blue lines. That means not pregnant, right? Right? Oh, sh*t. Five years ago, Colm Frost asked me to marry him and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn't broken and made me believe it. He made me feel it. Now, he's the hot, angry, hockey player on the mend. I'm the physiotherapist who's supposed to get him back on his feet. I don't think our night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn't mean I haven't dreamt of him every time I close my eyes. I woke up beside him with my body still singing from the way he fanned the flames of my desire, but I couldn't stay. His lips on my neck. His hands wrapped around my waist. His impressive...ahem, touch leaving me breathless. One moment of wild inhibition and it's come back to bite me in the butt. Kind of like he did that night. But a baby? Our night was supposed to be a one time thing, closing a door on the future I couldn't handle. Will this new bump in the road be everything we needed to find our forever?

After one night, she was gone like Cinderella at the stroke of midnight. A dance. A kiss. A night seared into my soul for eternity. I've always been a go with the flow guy, but Kara's turned me inside out with her laugh and smile. Hockey. My grades. Going pro. It all falls away when I'm holding her in my arms. Then she was gone. I saw stars reflected in her eyes and I was done for, but I couldn't find my mystery woman. The first day of class sends both our futures into a tailspin leaving us both stunned. I never expected to find her here. She has my heart in the palm of her hand and my future balanced on a razor's edge. We've started something that can't be extinguished. Can we both make it out of this semester without getting burned?
