Caitlan de Once mata. Echo de Trece desobedece. Vikram de Cuatro miente. Blaine de Nueve calla. Hace diez años que los Clanes asesinaron a casi todos los miembros de la dinastía Yaromir. Hace diez años que someten Magva con violencia y tiranía. Una guerra fría que solo terminará cuando uno de ellos irrumpa en El Zavori para alzarse con el poder. Pero el palacio real está custodiado por unas fuerzas que nadie ha logrado vencer. Ni averiguar exactamente qué son. Marcados por sus terribles decisiones, parece imposible que los caminos de Caitlan, Echo, Vikram y Blaine puedan cruzarse. Sin embargo, el destino ya jugó sus cartas y quizás su alianza sea la última oportunidad que tengan para derrotar a los Clanes y devolverle el trono al príncipe soberano. Aunque maten, desobedezcan, mientan y... griten.

When professional hockey player Sig Gauthier’s car breaks down and his phone dies, he treks into a posh private country club to call a tow truck, where he encounters the alluring Chloe Clifford, the manic pixie dream girl who captivates him immediately with her sense of adventure and penchant for stealing champagne. Sparks fly during a moonlight kiss and the enamored pair can’t wait to see each other again, but when Sig finally arrives to meet his dad’s new girlfriend over dinner, Chloe is confusingly also there. Turns out the girlfriend is Chloe’s mother. Oh, and they’re engaged. Sig’s dream girl is his future stepsister. Though the pair is now wary of being involved romantically, Chloe, a sheltered harp prodigy, yearns to escape her controlling mother. Sig promises to teach her the ins and outs of independence in Boston―a lesson in forced proximity that keeps them agonizingly close, but not inside his bedroom. In this forbidden romance, they both know there can never be more than friendship between a famous hockey player and his high-society, soon-to-be stepsister. But keeping their relationship platonic grows harder amid the developing family drama, especially knowing they were meant for so much more…

This ain’t Josie’s first rodeo. Her parents own several fancy restaurants in Houston, and they just opened a new one right outside the stadium. Josie is expected to stay inside the restaurant and help, and maybe take over their growing empire one day, but that isn’t what Josie wants. She’d rather be at the rodeo itself than in a high-end restaurant next to it. Or eating funnel cakes and Texas-sized corn dogs at the carnival on the grounds. Or better yet, riding her horse at her grandparents’ ranch, the very place her mom wants to sell. It ain’t Shawn’s first rodeo either. He’s been riding bulls since his mom died, doing everything he can to live up to his rodeo-champion stepfather’s sky-high expectations. But as Shawn’s stardom rises, so do tensions in their relationship. His stepfather’s drinking and gambling problems sure don’t help. After one unforgettable night leaves Josie and Shawn wanting nothing but each other, their lives become entwined in increasingly complex ways. Can they save Josie’s family land? Or will Shawn’s stepfather and his shady plan be the ranch’s ruin? Will one wrong move cost them everything? Rodeo after rodeo, year after year, can Josie and Shawn keep their hearts open through the secrets, twists, and turns?
