1. TORN by Carian Cole

SYNOPSIS

When I was five years old, I told Toren Grace we were going to get married when I grew up. A close family friend, he’d always been my favorite person. His name was even my first word. Now that I’ve turned eighteen, I make it clear my feelings haven’t changed. Only now, my once innocent crush burns like smoldering embers.

Tor’s one of the good guys. He’s my rock—loving and devoted with a strong moral compass... that makes it impossible for him to return my feelings. But one unexpected kiss between us knocks him clear off his axis. Now, we can’t forget how that kiss felt, and what it changed.

But I’m not a little girl anymore, and he’s everything I need. I’m everything he needs, too. We can’t deny that we’re soulmates. Yet, we’re both the one person the other should never, ever want. And neither of us can stand to let our forbidden feelings betray or hurt anyone. I know he’s struggling with the rights and wrongs, but I’m determined for us to have our happily ever after together. The problem? Tor is fifteen years older than me. He’s also my father’s best friend.

2. TIED by Carian Cole

SYNOPSIS

My innocence was stolen when I was abducted at five years old. For eleven years I held on by clinging to childhood fairytales. I waited for a prince to someday save me and carry me off to a happily ever after.

I had no idea my savior would come as a scarred recluse, covered in tattoos, who can’t—or won’t—speak a word. Nevertheless, the moment our eyes met I knew he was the one. My prince.

With his bare hands, he killed the monster who kept me captive. But people have a way of distorting the truth when the hero looks like a villain. As it turns out, Tyler Grace is many things: A myth. An outcast. A nightmare. Haunted by tragedy, he lives secluded in the forest. Some say they see him ride through town at night—straddling a black motorcycle, his face covered by a skeletal mask.

I’ve been warned to stay away, yet I can’t stop thinking about him. I ache to hear his voice. And I want nothing more than to break through his walls. I know he’s the only one who can break through mine. Do we dare dream of a love that once felt impossible to find? Or will only our horrible, twisted past tie us together?
