Jenna has spent too long being complacent and accepting. Her mother and step-father constantly belittle and berate her for simply being alive. She passes through life keeping everyone and everything at arm’s length because it’s just not worth the questions or the pity party. She takes what they dish out and just tries to survive.
She has thought up a million different ways to get away from them, but lacked the motivation and the sheer will. Like a fast moving tornado, her motivation comes in the form of a boy who cares for her as none other has and who shows her a glimpse of hope, a glimpse into a life she never thought she could have.
But is her new motivation enough to get her out…

On the rink she’s tough, she’s a leader, she’s fast and she’s the epitome of a rebellious girl. But Nellie’s been hurt, only once, but it was enough to make her look at life through different eyes and off the rink she’s a timid girl who loves with no pretenses.
A long time ago Owen Black was betrayed by the girl he thought he loved and the guy he called his best friend. The anguish set off a domino effect of negativity in his life and he never has fully recovered. He meets Nellie Forrester and thinks he can let it go for her.
But how can you love someone when the wounds from your past are still wide open?
Despite the odds, Reed Wolfe is making it, by the skin of her teeth. Her dreams and aspirations will have to wait until she can get on her feet. Because right now she’s homeless and churning on a downward spiral.
Falcon Black is existing. Not living, not thriving, just jutting along a path. But when he finds Reed, he can’t resist the urge to help her, lighten her load. But Falcon tends to go overboard, over the line, crossing boundaries he never thought he would and risking her trust in the process.
Can she accept his love or will it end up smothering her?
Maddox is running.
By accident, he discovered long ago that he was adopted as a baby and his need to find his biological father has consumed him ever since. Now, on a road trip, determined to find his father and his sanity, and armed with locations and his cousin, Nixon, to help him, maybe he can find the answers he’s been searching for. With nothing but a suitcase and a wad of cash to get him there, lead after lead takes him further from home.

He finds Storey, a pint sized pin-up model who has learned painful lessons about guys. Her wounds run deep, but so do his. She knows what she wants, but will she recognize it when it’s right in front of her?
Maddox can’t touch anyone without feeling like his skin is crawling, but just maybe his instinct to protect this amazing girl will supersede his own hang-ups.
If he can brush her skin and start to feel alive inside...everything will change.

Journey spent her formative years on the arm of any boy that didn’t expect anything out of her. She was hiding from the one person who did expect something in return—Nixon. Years after being cheated on and dumped for the last time, she takes a job at a daycare center where there’s a genius of a ginger haired girl whose last name is Black.
But the roles have been reversed and Journey is no longer Nixon’s first priority. Can he make room for the new Journey? And when he does, will he be able to forgive the old one?

Rex has firsthand knowledge of how love can rip a person to shreds. How it
can swallow a person whole, leaving them gasping for air, and dying a lonely
person. He watched his mother give everything she had to his father and then
she died, too weak and frail to continue on. His father, the deranged man who
could barely feed himself—taking care of him left a permanent crease on Rex's
heart. He swears he can still hear his pleas for help in his sleep. Nothing can
give him solace from the painful memories.
Except this girl.
Hayes is a constant and consistent optimist. She's witnessed her mother and
father’s almost perfect marriage and taken it as an example of what she wants.
But she can’t seem to find a guy who is sincere. She’s dated them all—
snake-in-the-grass jerks, straight-up commitment-phobes, fakes and phonies
alike. They all fit her perfect dream on the outside, but when the relationship
gets to the nitty gritty, they all crumble like stale bread.
Unable to find a better man, she settles for nothing instead, wondering if
a man who treats her right could even exist. With perfect parents and a team
name like I Kilda Girl, that man would have a lot to live up to.
Until this boy.
When she sees a rugged, tattooed guy who shows up at all the derby bouts, she
wonders if chasing the bad boy might just be right.

*This is Book One of the Love and Skate spin-off series.*
For months, Cyrus Black has been in hiding. After ruining his cousin’s chances of college, he goes from job to job, from place to place, making sure he doesn’t have to face them—or himself.
Beatriz Morales is set. She has a plan, a schedule, and a dream. Life has thrown her a few curve balls, but nothing keeps a derby woman down.
She’d never admit it, but she’s stretched too thin. Something has to give.
Love doesn’t just choose a person to see our strengths—sometimes love chooses the person we trust with our weaknesses.
The choice is hers.
All she wanted was a friend---one that knew her and not her circumstances. She needed somewhere to call home. Hers was an open door for countless men looking for the services her mother offered them. She camouflaged herself against lockers and blackboards to avoid the stares and whispers at school.
And then she found Cal...and Fade.
Cal lives like Frankenstein, rising at night to work and just trying to make it until dawn. He avoids most relationships, afraid of the things he will be asked to do. He moonlights as Fade, a radio station DJ who spends hours counseling his peers on their troubles. It was all mundane until Jocelyn called the station.
Cal and Havok pursue a friendship.
Jocelyn and Fade pursue a relationship beyond the confines of the radio waves.
But when Havok disappears, Cal will find that Havok has been guarding a lifetime worth of secrets. And when Fade and Jocelyn’s all night phone conversations cease, he finds a link between them he never saw coming.

In the depths of the Louisiana swamps, clans of bear
shifters roam freely. Hawke Turnclaw, the Alpha over all of his kind, is
drowning in the legacy left to him by the Alpha before him, his own father.
When he goes on a rescue mission to save a rogue Black bear from the clutches
of a Grizzly clan, he finds more than just a Black bear, he finds his mate.
Echo has always been told she's an anomaly, a fluke.
She's the only bear of her kind and that makes her a hindrance to her clan.
She's tried to run away, but they keep her tethered through guilt and a shock
collar around her neck.
And then someone shows up claiming he's her mate.
Now belonging to a new clan, will she ever be able to
understand that she's so much more than just a burden?
***
Determined to be the best Beta he can, Rev has made sure
to keep his distance from Martha, the female he knows to be his mate. He’s not
sure he even knows how to be a decent mate to her.
All that changes when the Alpha and the Coeur conspire to
make sure that Martha and Rev both face what they’ve known to be true for so
long.
One look is all it takes, but there is so much more to
being a mated couple than facing the claim.
Martha is not ready to give up anything in her life, not
even to make room for him.
Rev is ready, but only as long as his female bends her
life to fit into his.
Pushing and pulling, each one will have to decide which
is more important—the life they’ve built, or the one they could have together.
Ezra is ruled by the ghosts of his past—and needled by the guilt they create. Not only does he have to manage his own guilt—his friends are forced to bear the weight as well. He lives in limbo, never dreaming of anything that lies beyond the grave.
He wishes for something beyond himself.
He hopes for her.
Hide and seek is Aysa’s game. She begs for small spaces and empty places. But, she secretly desires so much more. She's caught between wanting to hide and needing to break free.
When they find each other, a hope for something new is sprung.
She can't hide from him.
And he comes alive when he's with her.

“Love isn’t crazy. Love isn’t a degree of insanity. Love is
sanity at its purest. It forces your soul to make a rational choice—a choice to
make another person’s happiness your priority, to allow them access to your
heart and soul. Letting Ezra go was choosing to love him. Letting him go was
the best way you knew how to choose his joy over your own. I can see it in both
of you. This love isn’t one that will go down without a fight.”
Seven months is a long time to wait.
Ezra has three goals. There is no choice. He has to get
better, for himself and for Aysa.
Except, his best friend Roman has moved in in his absence.
He’s given Ezra’s girl a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, and a fighting
chance at winning her heart.
Aysa knows who her heart belongs to.
But loving Ezra is no easy task.
Ezra never promised simple, he only promised his heart.
Aysa has two paths in front of her, one carries peace and
one carries a love that never ends.
