Chasing Empty Hearts by Chelsea Maria
He came into my life with demands on my heart that I had no intentions on fulfilling.
She was my karma. My sweet tasting karma.

Whatever she needed me to be. Whatever she asked of me. All she had to do was ask and I was at her mercy.
He needed to be broken…
She deserved to be loved….
Two weary souls with two different intentions cross paths, building sandcastles, leaving footprints of chaos. Lust turns into infatuation. Infatuation into possession. In this game of love vs. manipulation only one will remain standing.
*Please note: Chasing Empty Hearts is a spinoff featuring characters from My Heart is Your Secret.*

Summer McKoy
“I had it all figured out. Well, my mother did, and that was fine because she’s been that way with me since birth. My plan was simple – secure the only position available after completing my summer internship, accepting a job reserved for me. All I had to do was show up. How hard could that be, right? I’m focused enough, I’m bright enough, hell… I have the assuredness of one trillion beauty queens and a smile that would blind the sun. With men, I was just as sure. I knew the prototype of man I was born to end up with. Knew everything about him down to the social class his family needed to be in because hierarchy matters to me. And Jayce Martin? He didn’t have the clout to check off a single box on my ideal partner list. Jayce shouldn’t even hold a pencil anywhere near my list! Then why on earth is it a challenge keeping my mind off this guy… or my heart from wanting to love him?”
Jayce Martin
“My family has always been my priority. Every move I ever executed, every choice I ever made, my intentions have always been to put them in a better position. So, my plan was simple – secure a property for my mother and my younger twin siblings by landing a coveted position at one of the top law firms in the country with a focus on pocketing their sign-on bonus. I planned to intern there after graduation. This was a chance of a lifetime! People always said I was smart, but opportunities like this one bypassed guys like me often. I mean… the fact they selected me out of a pool of thousands of applicants was my life’s plot twist. But here I am, my mind sharpened, my goals clear, and the job mine if I prove that I’m worthy. Then why is it difficult to keep my head in the game and my mind off this girl named Summer McKoy?”

Ready. Set. Lose. (Big City Bliss Book 2) by Harleigh Rae
The Girl
Growing up, she wasn’t privy to crystal stairs and high roads. She lived a life paved with devastation and destruction, even in her formative years. While her peers jumped rope and tagged each other ‘it,’ she was ducking child services workers in between searching for her drunk mother and boosting whatever she could to survive in the meantime. After stealing a DSLR camera and ordered to complete community service, she found hope behind the lens of that boosted DSLR. Now a photography student at Tisch, she gives her all to make her dreams come true. Flooding the sidewalks of her artsy neighborhood and every big event that comes to town, she shakes up New York City with her revolutionizing guerrilla fashion shows. She knows she has nothing to lose and a world to gain. She never suspected she’d find herself in the crosshairs of the gentlest giant and vying in a race for which she had no training.
The Guy
He’d been in the fast lane going nowhere at maximum speed, and it cost him everything. He knew what he needed. A fresh start and New York City was just the place. After pleading with his big cousin for a lifeline, he was on the first plane leaving Georgia. It was his last-ditch effort to keep his mother from burying her only child. He had something to prove to his mother, his cousins, and mostly to himself. Giving all his time and energy to managing the lounge his cousin entrusted to him, he overloads the East Village with good vibes only. He never knew that good vibes had a boomerang effect; what he gave others he would get back. Whether he wanted it or not.
The Race
Their meeting was inevitable. They had too many people in common, so as much as they wanted to drop out of the race, it was unlikely. Both strong-willed and passionate, they understand that there are only two choices; run together and win, or get ready to watch everyone else cross the finish line. Ready. Set. Lose.
