Tai Chi Chasers

Jedes Jahr an Heiligabend musste der Erbe der Marco-Mafiafamilie – Adrian Marco – einer Familientradition folgen: Er zog einen Namen, der darüber entschied, ob er mich heiraten durfte. Denn ich, Irene Cast, stammte nicht aus einer Mafiafamilie. Nur wenn er meinen Namen zog, durfte er mich zur Frau nehmen. Vier Jahre lang hatte Adrian viermal einen Zettel gezogen. Und kein einziges Mal hatte er meinen Namen gezogen. Ich hatte immer geglaubt, er hätte sich meinetwegen mit seiner Familie überworfen, dass er sogar bereit gewesen war, seine Position als Don zu riskieren, nur um mich zu wählen. Jedes Mal, wenn es nicht klappte, hielt er mich fest und flüsterte: „Ist schon gut. Wir haben noch nächstes Jahr.“ Und ich liebte ihn so sehr, dass es wehtat. So sehr, dass ich bereit war zu warten, Jahr für Jahr. Dieses Jahr sagte ich mir: Wenn er meinen Namen immer noch nicht zieht… werde ich das Ergebnis heimlich vertauschen. Ich schlich zur Tür von Adrians Arbeitszimmer und hörte, wie sein jüngerer Bruder fragte: „Don … jedes Jahr ziehst du tatsächlich Irenes Namen. Warum tust du so, als hättest du es nicht? Liegt es daran, dass du Sera immer noch nicht loslassen kannst?“ Doch er sagte nur mit ausdrucksloser Stimme: „Sera braucht mich dringend. Mach es wie immer: Tausch Irenes Namen gegen einen leeren Zettel aus.“ Er ging hinaus, ohne sich umzudrehen. Anstatt zu tauschen, warf sein Bruder den leeren Zettel in den Papierkorb, ließ den mit meinem Namen auf dem Tisch liegen und eilte Adrian hinterher. Ich ging hinein, holte den leeren Zettel aus dem Papierkorb und tauschte ihn gegen den mit meinem Namen. Ich sah zu, wie mein eigener Name in den Müll fiel. Adrian … ich will nicht länger warten. Ich werde dich nicht heiraten. Ich erfülle dir deine Wahl.

Sierra Bennett thought she was doing her father a favor—fake dating his star hockey player to buy him time with the pack elders. One dinner. A few public appearances. Simple. Then she touched rival alpha Sebastian Crane and had a vision of blood on ice. Suddenly, Sierra discovers she's not human. She's a late-blooming wolf with psychic abilities, and Asher Kane isn't just her fake boyfriend, he's her destined mate. But Sebastian knows her secret. He knows she's actually his niece through her mother's hidden Silvermoon bloodline.

Now Sierra has four days to master her wolf abilities, learn to play college hockey, and decide if she's ready to complete a mate bond that will change her life forever. Because when Sebastian moves the challenge up and her own mother's betrayal puts everyone at risk, Sierra must choose: run from the destiny she never wanted, or fight for the mate she's falling for. Some bonds are worth fighting for. Even if it means facing the monster who shares your blood.

“We shouldn’t be doing this,” Imani whispered, her voice trembling more from want than from fear of her brother barging in and catching her leaning in to kiss his ex-best-friend now turned enemy. “Then stop me,” he murmured back, his fingers brushing her jaw, his breath hot against her skin. But neither of them moved. The distance between them had already disappeared, along with every rule she’d promised not to break. *** When Imani Grayson, a quiet psychology major, is assigned to mentor the university’s star hockey captain, Nicolas Jameson, she expects arrogance not the kind of chemistry that keeps her up at night. What begins as a simple assignment spirals into late-night tutoring sessions, stolen glances, and kisses that blur every boundary she’s ever set. But with jealous teammates watching, old wounds resurfacing, and a love too intense to hide, the game they started might be the one that shatters them both. Imani will soon learn that some games can’t be won without losing everything, and Nicolas, that even in the game of hearts, the strongest player can fall to his knees.
