There’s nothing wrong with a harmless little crush, right? And who better to crush on than the gorgeous man next door? The one who would never look twice in my direction. Except he does. The first time he pins me in place with his dark gaze, I’m rendered speechless.  The first time he lays his hands on me, I melt.  And the first time he takes me, well…I fall to pieces, wondering if I’ll ever be the same again. Everything about him screams danger. And yet I’d be lying through my teeth if I didn’t admit that was part of the attraction. Chicago is supposed to be a new beginning for me.  A chance to find my bearings and live again.  The man next door is the last person I should be getting involved with. And yet, here I am. A moth dancing too close to the flickering flame, hoping I don’t get torched. Protecting What's Mine was created by Jennifer Sucevic, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

I was her first and I'll damn well be her last. Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door.  Smart, beautiful, and determined.  She’s got it all going on.  Is it any wonder that she’s been on my radar for as long as I can remember? Fine, I’ll admit that I’ve made a few boneheaded mistakes as far as she’s concerned, but what can I say?  I’m a dude.  Sometimes I think with the wrong head.  We’ll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that.  But I’m older now. More mature. Sort of. Mia has spent all of high school and college keeping me at a distance.  If she didn’t melt in my arms every time I put my hands on her, I’d almost think she was immune to my charms. This is our last year at Wesley before we go our separate ways.  Me to the NFL, her to law school.  It’s now or never. I’m done playing games and allowing her to push me away.

Last year, I failed out of school in spectacular fashion. Now, I’m starting over at a new university, hoping I can get my life back on track and prove to my family that I’m not a screw up. This year, I’m focused on academics. Unfortunately, someone should have mentioned that to a certain hockey playing hottie who refuses to take a hint and leave me alone. As much as I hate to admit it, if I had a type, Cole Mathews would fit it to a T with his dark shaggy hair, golden-brown eyes, and muscular arms. To make matters worse, he’s ridiculously easy going. Not to mention, nice. We’re talking total kryptonite to the female species. Which makes him much too dangerous for the likes of me. And this year, I’m smart enough to realize it. Resisting all that charm might seem futile, but there isn’t much choice in the matter. I won’t let a hot hockey player derail my future. Now, I just need to convince him of that.

When I hightailed it out of town after high school graduation, I didn’t think there was anything that could bring me home again. But I was wrong. When the worst happens, it blows my world apart and sends me into free fall, forcing me to return to the one place—the one person—that holds all my heartache. Hunter Price. The guy I loved more than life itself. He doesn’t understand that in order to save him, I had to do the unthinkable—open my hand and let him go. With no other choice but to attend the same university, all I want is to lay low and stay off his radar. My hope is that after all this time, he’s moved on and will leave our relationship where it belongs—in the past. Only now do I realize that if Hunter has his way, he’ll bring me to my knees, inflicting as much damage as he can.

The moment he slides his muscular arm around my body and pretends to be my boyfriend, I know I’m in trouble. But inviting the guy I can’t shake loose home with us for a threesome? Yep, I’m done for. Especially when the guy in question—the one who can’t seem to take no for an answer—practically sprints away. A handsome face, ripped muscles, and colorful ink decorating your arms will get you a second look. Being sexy, funny, and intuitive are what end up sealing the deal. My insides are pinging like crazy, and I can’t remember the last time that happened. But he’s young. If I were smart, I’d walk away and forget about him. But I can’t bring myself to do that. Which is exactly how I end up in his bed at the end of the night. Three orgasms later, and I’m sneaking out of his apartment at the crack of dawn. I know that I’m never going to see him again because this was strictly a onetime deal. One Night Stand was created by Jennifer Sucevic, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Carter Prescott is one of those guys who has it all. Wealthy family…check. Good looks…check. Brains to match all that brawn…check. And let’s not even talk about all those sculpted muscles (no—seriously, I don’t want to talk about them). The guy works out like it’s his job. Did I mention that he’s one of this year’s top NFL draft picks? Sure, maybe in the beginning I was taken in by his pretty face and gorgeous body. What girl with a beating pulse wouldn’t be? But his obnoxious presence killed any attraction I might have felt a long time ago. All right, fine…that’s not altogether true. The guy is smoking hot, okay? There, I admitted it. Sheesh. But that doesn’t mean he’s not a conceited jerk. Carter is my cousin’s best friend, and thanks to the fugue state I must have been in when I agreed to this living arrangement, he’s my roommate for senior year.

Sofia I’ve made it a point to steer clear of the men who work for my father.  I have no intention of getting tangled up in that lifestyle.  But there’s something about Roman, an irrepressible energy that snaps and sizzles between us.  From the moment we met, his dislike was palpable.  And nothing has changed in the three years I’ve known him.  If I were smart, I’d stay away. But I’m not smart. Roman The moment I saw her, I knew she had the power to destroy everything I’d spent years trying to accomplish.  I can’t allow that to happen.  Most days, I’m barely civil to her, because I know all hell will break loose once the floodgates open.  Nothing I’ve found douses the combustible energy that flares to life between us.  It’s as frustrating as it is dangerous.  One of these days I’m going to get burned. Or end up with a bullet in my head. Claiming What's Mine was created by Jennifer Sucevic, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

I’ve spent more years than I care to admit crushing hard on Colton Montgomery. The blond, blue-eyed hottie leaves a trail of broken hearts in his wake wherever he goes. Just when I’d decided to cut my losses and move on, he appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. It had all seemed like a fairytale until he dumped me. Through text message. Ouch. Eighteen months and one study abroad program later, I’ve returned to Wesley University to finish out my senior year. Colton is nothing more than a regrettable mistake I’d prefer to forget. Or so I tell myself. It only takes one run-in to realize that my feelings for him aren’t as dead and buried as I’d thought. Nope, they’re still there, simmering dangerously beneath the surface. He wants a second chance to make things right. And part of me is afraid that if he actually puts his mind to it, he’ll end up changing mine.

Sam Harper is my best friend and has been since we were kids. Unfortunately, he sees himself as my unofficial big brother. Which is to say that the guy is a major cock block. I swear he has a sixth sense when it comes to me getting laid. It's frustrating how I can be on the verge of sealing the deal when Sam will appear out of nowhere, and suddenly my night is going up in a big ball of sexually frustrated flames. I think the guy enjoys messing with me. Why else would he do it? Lately, I'm starting to notice things about Sam that I shouldn’t be noticing. Like those piercing blue eyes that pin me in place. Or his short blond hair that I want to drag my fingers through. Not to mention those killer abs that I sometimes catch a fleeting glimpse of. The strange feelings that have sprung up in me are definitely starting to freak me out. We’ve always been just friends. And I don’t want that to change.

The uncrowned king of Barnett University. He's like a freaking celebrity around here. It's totally ridiculous. People, by which I mean grown women, actually stalk him on the internet. And around campus. Apparently, he's god's gift to both football and the ladies (I'm using that term loosely). All he has to do is smile and girls fall right onto their backs before spreading their legs wide. I've heard that he's already plowed his way through half the female population at Barnett. My guess is that he'll work his way through the second half before he gets drafted to the NFL later this year. Yeah...I don't plan to be one of them. The guy is nothing more than a conceited player. You know the type—a steroid infused meathead coasting through college on his football prowess. Ugh. I have three words for you—avoid, avoid, avoid. Need I say more? I don't think so.
