Sloane Donavan dreamed of being a rock journalist ever since she posted her first MySpace blog. So when punk rock’s most notorious and elusive frontman offers her his first interview in eight years, Sloane should be jumping at the opportunity that will earn her a full-time staff position—but taking it would mean reconnecting with the only guy she’s ever loved (and lost), Dax Nakamura.

📖First and Forever 🖊Lynn Painter Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyotes football. So when she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet’s villain, she is distraught—and disgruntled. All she did was shove Coyote Carl away when he made a move on her, but everyone else just saw a woman attacking their team’s beloved mascot. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn’t expect a co-guest to join her—especially not the Coyotes’ star tight end.

Harboring this secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life.

📚Terms 🖊 Nicole Gregory 🗂Terms of Surrender Emma Sinclair lives by rules. In boardrooms. In negotiations. In the careful economy of every breath she takes. She survives by staying ahead of every variable— by never wanting what can’t be measured, never needing what can’t be controlled. Until him. He is inevitability given flesh. A man who doesn’t challenge her authority, but offers her something far more dangerous: the freedom to set it down. What begins as a careful exchange of power deepens into something darker— and far more intimate. Trust sharpens. Longing takes root. Secrets surface. And Emma must decide how much of herself she’s willing to risk— not just for pleasure, but for truth. For trust. For love. Because surrender is never just an act. It’s a choice. 🗂Terms of Exposure She built her life on control. He taught her to release it. Now they face what comes after surrender— the terrifying, uncharted act of staying. His family pulls her into a world she never expected. His past drags her toward a truth she never saw coming. Between boardroom and bedroom, between power and vulnerability, between the words he can’t say and the ones she can’t stop— something buried waits to be uncovered. Because love does not exist in isolation. Secrets do not stay buried. The life they are building demands light. Because exposure is never just a consequence. It is the cost of being seen.
