Ben O’Rourke and his prep school buddies got way too high at a graduation party and some of his friends raped a drunken girl who was passed out in the upstairs bedroom of the party house. One of the rapists is Ben’s best friend, Clint, the son of a Congressman who is also a family friend and the author of the letter of recommendation that helped Ben get accepted to Yale.
Over the following days, Ben finds out that no one cares about the girl. His parents don’t. The rapists’ parents don’t. Even Ben’s older sister isn’t concerned.
“We all do stupid things at parties,” she advises Ben. “No one’s future should get messed up over it.”
But Ben is concerned about the girl. He sees her at school, hears the whispers and the jokes, and wonders what her future is going to be like.
And, for the first time in his life, he begins to question his parents’ values and begins to wonder if the life laid out before him is the life he wants to live.
This novel is about the aftermath of a rape, told from the point of view of a young male witness who discovers that he no longer wants to grow up to be the person his parents expect him to be.

A bonafide pop diva, all sass and scandal, Cristy Valor commands headlines wherever she goes. The tabloids love her—and love to hate her. From the first time her sexy alto voice rolls over me, she has all my attention. When she joins Balefire on our latest tour, she sashays across the stage in her wild-ass costumes and parties hard enough to keep up with my boys and me. She drives me batshit crazy—and I love every second of it.
Sex on stilettos.
Pure trouble.
Our sizzling chemistry could shoot a rocket into space, and it’s not long before I crave her. For the first time in my life, I want to share everything with a woman. But Cristy is hiding something, something that holds her back from giving me all of herself. She’s about to find out that I’m a patient man—and I always get what I want.
Cristy
Adam Tron is the poster boy for tall, dark, and sexy. His bass rhythms are enough to make me cream my panties every time I hear them. Flirting with him during our live shows is a rush but nothing compared to what happens when I finally give in to my lust and share his bed. The problem is, sex isn’t all he wants.
For my entire career, I’ve set the narrative, teased the tabloids with scandals that kept them too busy to look into my past, too busy to discover the secret that could end the party for good. Adam Tron could wreck me, steal my heart—and my music. I can’t let him in. I can’t let him discover the secret behind the nightmares I have nearly every night. He thinks he can slay all my monsters, and it would be so easy to let him. But if he finds out the truth, will he still be hot for me?

If I give up my precious v-card to a guy, he’s the kind who would take it. Dangerous. Sexy as hell and just as deadly. Distracting enough that I somehow managed to get caught… but will I escape?

Bree is definitely attracted to his type, and he seems as close to perfect as a guy could get. Only problem? She’d sworn off dating hot, muscled, athletic types for good.
Wronged by a string of jocks, Bree creates one hard rule: no dating athletes. She also enacts a list of other guidelines to protect her fragile heart. Per the rules, coffee meetups don’t count as dates, lunch doesn’t count as a date, there will be no physical displays of affection until after a real date, and no sex until he commits to an exclusive relationship.
Enter Nate. He’s tall and muscular, has deep blue eyes and dark hair. He’s a perfect clone of the guys that hurt her before. If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck, right?
Enter Steven. She couldn’t have ordered a more perfect package. He’s muscular, not too tall, and focused on his career in education.
When Bree allows herself to give in to her feelings, sparks fly. She’s happier than she ever imagined. But being a couple is about more than just the two of them. Family, religion, location, and money all factor in.
Can they meet in the middle?
