He's the star on the ice. She's invisible. Will she ever be able to win over the star hockey player? *** Asher Brigham has it all: an impending NHL hockey career, the adoration of his fans, Puck Bunnies who adore him, and a whole host of friends. Emmy Reed can't resist his charm either and has been in love with him since high school. The only problem is that Asher was never interested in her. But high school is over, and Emmy is determined to end this crush too. The fact that she'll be going to the very college where Asher is the star hockey player shouldn't be a problem. As bitter as the truth is for Emmy, he never noticed her, so he certainly won't do so among thousands of students. But then everything changes. Asher decides to go on the offensive and suddenly he takes up an ever-larger part of her life. As sparks fly on the ice, Emmy soon has to ask herself how close she can be to him without completely losing her heart to him.

As if paralyzed, I look at the letters emblazoned on the piece of paper bearing the Miltan University logo.ASSUMEDI blink several times, but nothing changes in front of me.They really want me. But the best part is, they're even offering me a scholarship. My parents have never complained, but I know it's not easy for them to afford my older sister's tuition. Paying mine on top of that would place serious restrictions on them.I should be all the happier that I actually made it. I had already given up on it. Before that, I was only getting rejected.But instead of jumping around my room with joy, I just think: Shit!Of all the universities, it has to be the one Asher Brigham attends.Asher is my personal nightmare. Before he graduated a year ago, he went to the same high school as me. Even then, he was an absolutely brilliant hockey player, so it was no surprise that he received an athletic scholarship to one of the top universities.With his beautiful brown eyes, dark blond hair, and his athletically trained body, he looks so much better than is good for anyone.I sigh and shake myself to get rid of thoughts of him. Because that's exactly the problem: I've had a crush on Asher pretty much my entire high school years.But while there had never been a more perfect boy for me, he didn't even notice me. Instead, I watched as all sorts of girls were by his side over the years, while I adored him from afar.Accordingly, I was relieved when he moved over 260 miles from Pittsburgh. With a four-hour drive between us, I was finally able to forget him.My only bad luck is that our families have been friends for what feels like forever. But even if we did bump into him at one or two family gatherings, it was a thousand times better than running into him every day at school. Just as it was at school, our contact on these occasions is limited to a simple hello. If we're really in the mood to chat, we sometimes even have a "how are things?"Things are completely different with my sister Gianna. She's not shy at all and takes every opportunity to claim Asher for herself. The fact that he never seemed averse to it hasn't necessarily made things easier. I don't know how much has already happened between them, but maybe it's better that I don't.From the very first moment he started creeping into my thoughts, I knew I'd never have a chance with him. I'm not one of those girls Asher would be interested in. I'm far too plain for that. Actually, I don't want any special attention at all, if it weren't for Asher, from whom I want exactly that.No, wrong-I wished! It may look like we'll be going to the same college in the future, but I'll be giving him and anything hockey-related a wide berth. With almost 50,000 students, it won't be much of a challenge to avoid him. Who cares that he's incredibly good-looking, way too charming, and has been haunting my thoughts for years?But that's over now! It's time for a fresh start. Gain new experiences, find new friends, and, above all, stop chasing unrealistic dreams that only lead to a broken heart.My high school days are over, and with them will end this crush on Asher Brigham.
"You can sleep in another room forever, but that will never change the fact that I know every time you touch yourself and moan my name. I am and will always be your husband, whether you want it or not...and obviously you don't really have a problem with that," he whispered in my ear, sending ice-cold goosebumps across my skin and I shuddered as I felt his full lips against my skin. Forced marriages are pure horror for many, but not for Nora. Since she was a child, it has been clear who she will marry and when. She comes from a world where people give away weapons and drugs instead of chocolates and roses; a world where you either kill or are killed; a world that knows no other colors than red and black.
The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
