The Alphaletes Series by Katelyn Taylor

Loyalty. A few months ago, I would have said it’s one of my only redeeming traits. But now…. My best friend is in love with his girl, his ex girl. He’s determined to win her back at any cost and at first, I was happy for him. I just didn’t know that I’d want her for myself, but I do. Keeping my distance gets harder each time. She’s the one thing I can’t have, yet I can’t stop reaching for her. Betrayal. They say the worst kind doesn’t come from your enemies but from those closest to you.

Walls. They're immovable, resilient. Meant to keep things out and most the time they keep nearly everything out, except me. I'm the "Mike". The middle linebacker for the Seattle Crusaders. It's my job to break through anything in my path and make it out the other side and I'm damn good at it too. Until I meet Vi Nielson. A strong, hardworking, drop dead sexy single mom to an adorable little boy. I fell hard, fast... moreWalls. They're immovable, resilient.

I'll do whatever it takes to make her mine because make no mistake, Vi Nielson is mine. less

Heart. The most important organ in your body, one of the most fragile too. I’ve always worn mine on my sleeve. I put my heart into everything I’ve ever done and for the most part it’s worked out for me. I’m the best running back in the league, I have a great family and a smoking hot wife. That is until a nasty hit takes me down in a big way. Everyone told me I was done. They turned their backs on me, except for my best friend, Scarlett Hayes. With her help, I’ll be catching passes in no time... moreHeart. The most important organ in your body, one of the most fragile too. I’ve always worn mine on my sleeve.

With her help, I’ll be catching passes in no time. What I wasn’t expecting to catch was feelings. Feelings for her. I’m starting to wonder if I missed something a while ago, something big. Was it always supposed to be me and bubbles? Or did this all come out of nowhere? Either way, I know one thing for sure. It’s not just my heart on the line here. less

Rules. Some people say they are meant to be broken,. but not these ones. These are designed to protect me, to make sure I never feel the pain I did almost ten years ago. The dull but present pain I still feel every time my past taunts me. From the Loyalties that have remained broken, I built my Walls high and tall, creating these Rules to make sure all Hearts,. most of all mine, will stay guarded. That was the plan at least, until she came along.
