ALT Snippet: “Would you? Have regretted it, I mean?” Their eyes met. Delphine pinned him with her expectant stare, and he worried again whether she could rummage around his mind for the answers she sought. What could he say? She’d no doubt find him obsessive if he told her the truth – how he’d spent so many waking moments wondering if she remembered their one dance as fondly as he did, when moonlight had clung to her hair and tickled her face as she’d taunted him beneath the stars. How he’d been so relieved to see her on board his ship, in a way he couldn’t put into words. How he hadn’t managed to get rid of the smell of sugar since meeting her, and didn’t want to. Would he have regretted her kiss? “No, Ceraid.” He swallowed, shuffling under the weight of the question. “I could have never regretted it.”

Kúlon stepped backwards, leaving her in a heap, pressing a hand to the gushing wound, and he nodded to his drákön. "Amphísbai!" he shouted, urging the drákön's head down so he could grab the spines on its neck to hoist himself onto an ephíppion that rested between its shoulders. "Burn her."

ALT Parker Knight and Barret Keats share two things—their love for the ice and an injury that’s jeopardized both of their futures. Determined to compete in her senior year before leaving her grueling coach, heartache from losing her father, and hometown forever, Parker strikes up a deal that could make or break both their careers: he helps her get back on the ice, and she pulls strings to give him one last shot at the NHL. As Barret begins training Parker, mutual attraction and shared grief brings the pair closer, and their deal becomes so much more than what’s left on the ice. Barret must untangle his abandonment issues and fleeting career, while Parker must decide if her love for the ice and growing feelings for the hockey captain are worth another fall—and her need to leave it all behind.
