DaphneAs a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. Prince Charming saving the princess. The promise of a better life. The magic of happily ever after. But I'm pretty sure Sleeping Beauty never woke up to a text message from Prince Charming's brother, informing her that they'd both been granted "free passes" for the weekend of their bachelor and bachelorette parties.I can't believe this is my life. But I've already made my decision, and I'm confident about what happens next. The wedding is off. I won't be the victim in this story. I'm ready to take back my power. One night of pleasure with the wildly attractive man I meet at The Oak is just what I need to start rewriting my happily ever after.What I didn't anticipate is that one night with Fielding doesn't feel like enough. Not only that: one night with him could change the trajectory of my life forever. FieldingIt's been a long time since I've felt anything in my hallow, tattered chest cavity. But that unexpectedly changes when I lock eyes with a luminous angel in white. She's a ten. But she's curvy as hell with an ass that's literally two handfuls. So she's a twelve. She's also the freaking bride to be- or was, according to her story. I offer Daphne one night of pleasure, knowing damn well it won't be enough. Now I want more. No, not more-I want it all with her. She's reluctant to pursue the connection I know we both feel, and with good reason. So I'll bide my time. Play the long game. Wait her out, and do everything in my power to convince her she's meant to be mine. One thing's for sure: I'm not giving up when it comes to my future with this woman. It's disgustingly on brand for me: If it's off limits, I want it. Dangle the forbidden fruit in front of me, and I'll stop at nothing until I obtain it. I've always been a full out fiend.

Playboy. Jokester. Uncle Jakey. Bro.Living in this small town my whole life means everyone knows my name. The one title I never expected to take on?Husband.My father's will is clear: the only way I'll ever see my inheritance is if I get married. I never cared about the money. I cringe at the thought of letting him manipulate me from the grave.But now I'm short on time, out of options, and desperate for cash.Cue the wedding bells.The only reason I'm moving forward with this crazy idea is because I've figured out a way to unlock my inheritance while also raising the middle finger to my father's legacy.See, there's something Joe Whitely's narrow-minded bigotry never counted on: times have changed. Laws have changed. Getting married doesn't mean I have to find a wife like he so desperately wanted.In fact, I'm determined to do the opposite.I just have to find myself a man, convince him to marry me, and pop my relationship cherry.Because that's the catch: I've been with plenty of men. And women. But I've never been in a committed relationship.Husband.I guess I better get used to hearing it, saying it, and figuring out what the hell it means if this plan is going to work.Mr. Brightside is a standalone MM romance set in the Hampton Hearts universe. It's a long angst, high heat marriage of convenience romance with a guaranteed HEA.

MaddieI'll admit it: I knew exactly who he was when I walked into The Oak that night.I probably should have just left him alone. But I was bored. And he's gorgeous, just like his brother. How was I supposed to resist?The kiss we shared was scorching hot. But it was nothing compared to the intensity of his anger when he realized who I was, and who I'm related to.His hostility fuels me. His resistance makes me push harder. He made this into a game I'm determined to win.Whether he likes it or not, I've officially set my sights on Dempsey Haas.DempseyHe called her Fourth Wheel. There was a familiarity between them that should have told me she was off limits. But there was just something about that girl.Something familiar.Something forbidden.Something so damn tempting.Her timing is impeccable. I've never felt more lonely or listless in my life.I'm not looking for a relationship, or even a fling. Especially not with someone seven years younger who happens to be related to the two people my brother hates most.But the way my entire body responded to her when she pushed me against that clock tower and kissed me? That's a moment that'll stay with me forever.I had my fun. Now I have to lock it down.Whether she likes it or not, I've officially declared Maddie Wheeler off limits.

I never considered how far I'd go to protect those I love. Not until now.Not until them.Locke. Kylian. Kendrick. Decker. The boys of Lake Chapel own me: mind and body, heart and soul. I'll fight for them. Wait for them. Root for them and support them through anything. Because what we're building together is a forever kind of love. Every word will be dissected, every move recorded, but the cameras and media scrutiny are temporary. We cling to private moments away from the mansion and hold out hope that life won't always be this hard. But when a terrifying encounter with parallels to the past leaves us shaken, Decker takes drastic action. And despite our whispered promises and dreams for the future, what we share may not be enough to survive the pressure of what comes next. The boys of Lake Chapel taught me that love can be limitless.No one warned me what can happen when love is pushed too far.

Lake Chapel was supposed to be my fresh start: an opportunity to reinvent myself; my chance to finally live. Now I'm grappling with the demons of my past... and losing. To survive this setback, I'll need the support of the four possessive, domineering men who think I belong to them. But can my captors really be my salvation? Worlds are bound to collide. Friendships will be tested, and rivalries are revving up. I can't slip back into the dark-not now that I know what it's like to live in the light. For the first time in my life, it's more than just me I'm fighting for. It's them. Kylian. Locke. Decker. Even Kendrick.It's all of them, and all of us together. My name is Josephine Meyer. But that hasn't always been my name. What will the boys of Lake Chapel think when they finally learn the truth?

Never let them get you to the second location.Even if that location happens to be a lakeside mansion home to four hot-as-sin men.After years of living in survival mode, I'm finally hitting rewind on the story of my life. There's nothing standing in the way of my bright future at Lake Chapel University.Or so I thought.Being ambushed by four devastatingly attractive football players wasn't on my bingo card. Ironically, they seem just as stupefied by me as I am of them.There's Decker: the brooding, scowling leader. Then Kylian: the iPad-wielding nerd. Next is Kendrick: the gruff, gorgeous jock. And finally, Locke: the huge, tattooed emo boy.It's the last one that catches my eye.As the recipient of the Crusade Scholarship, I'm here on a full ride, and I intend to make the most of my education. But a girl's allowed to have a little fun, right?That's how I find myself hooking up with the right guard of the Lake Chapel Crusaders at the first party of the school year. My plan for a casual fling is derailed a few days later when I unexpectedly run in to a couple of the guys outside of school.Now Decker Crusade thinks I saw something I shouldn't have, and he's decided the only way to control the narrative is to control me. There's nowhere to run, considering Decker and his boys live in a lakeside mansion that can only be accessed by boat.Apparently, I live here now, too.They think they can keep me captive indefinitely, but there's something about me they've sorely underestimated: my will to finally live.
