Aesop lived in the early sixth century BC on the island of Samos, which lies off the coast of modern Turkey. He originally came from Thrace which was a separate country in those days, though it now forms part of Greece and Bulgaria. Very little is known about his life except that he worked as a slave on Samos for a master called Iadmon, and that he became a very famous storyteller. He was so famous that almost any fable which could have been told by him became attributed to him.

Her name echoes in my mind like a song. The world sees me as a rockstar, but it's her who sees the parts of me I've kept hidden from everyone else.When Tinsley joins me on my tour, and we travel from city to city, a nagging feeling grows that someone is lurking in the shadows, watching her, waiting for her. The protectiveness I've always felt for her is driving me to insanity.With each day that passes, it becomes clearer that I want more. My need for her has erupted into a raging inferno. I'm not seeking redemption; I'm embracing the darkness that defines me in an effort to keep her safe.Can my obsession protect her against what I can feel coming, or will it become what devours us both?

His Greatest Muse

OAKLEY 
 
I have one goal. To be drafted into the NHL and make my father proud. I've never been interested in dating, not when all of my spare time is spent at the rink perfecting my craft. There's no time for distractions. I can't afford them. 
 
But she came out of nowhere. Octavia Layton, the girl with the pretty smile and the broken heart. One night spent talking beneath the stars and now she won't get out of my head. 
 
I never expected to see her again, but now she's here in this new city, with ties to my new team, and I don't think I'm strong enough to fight against her pull.

I hate hockey players. After a nasty breakup, I've sworn them all off for good. Or so I thought. 
 
We met when I had puffy eyes and a broken heart, but I didn't know who he was until he shows up in my city months later as a new member of our local hockey team. The sweet guy who so easily made the ache in my chest go away with lame jokes and a swoon-worthy smile is here, and he wants me. 
 
Despite everything I said I wouldn't do, I can't seem to stay away from him. But dating a future NHL player isn't the life I imagined for myself, and as things keep going wrong, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the best-made plans aren't always the ones you expect.

From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, standalone romance about first loves, betrayal and loss. 
 
Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending. 
 
Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower. Sweet. Caring. Charitable. Quiet. Fake. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language. Who taught her how to laugh. To live. To love. 
 
Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero. Gorgeous. Athletic. Rugged. Popular. Liar. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna. 
 
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore. When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes. Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.
