She ran away from home with nothing but a broken heart and a car that barely made it. One fight, one night, one decision...and everything changed. Desperate for somewhere to stay, Avery answered an ad for a room and ended up moving in with Rhett...a tattooed, cold, pro hockey captain who thrives on control, discipline, and dominance both on and off the ice. Commitment isn't in his vocabulary. Neither are second chances. He's chaos in skates and trouble in leather jackets, sharp edges wrapped in muscle and attitude, and he makes it painfully clear that he doesn't want her in his space, in his routine, in his carefully controlled world. They clash from the start. Power against defiance. Fire against gasoline. Too similar. Too stubborn. Too damaged in different ways. She's soft, but not weak. A good girl who knows how to party, dance, and forget the world when the music gets loud enough. He's adrenaline and aggression, fueled by late-night games, bruised knuckles, and a hunger for control that doesn't turn off when the crowd goes home. Closed off. Possessive. Allergic to feelings. Living together becomes a dangerous game of boundaries, tension, and lingering looks that last a second too long. Every shared space feels like a challenge. Every accidental touch feels like a dare. Neither of them are willing to admit that the pull between them burns hotter than any fight on the ice...or that surrendering might be the one thing Rhett fears more than losing. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Her mother returns to haunt her, reopening old wounds. And just when Avery starts to feel safe...just when it starts to feel real...Rhett does what he does best. He runs. Because falling is easy...but staying is the dangerous part.

Monica Mansour and Otto Harrington will never agree on why they broke up. She cheated, or he cheated, or they both did. Everyone seems to know what happened when they can't even decide it between them. Like a pendulum clock, they swing. Side to side. Head to head. They're a ticking time bomb. For the sake of their shared friend group, they decide to set their feelings aside. It shouldn't be too difficult to stay friends. Or, more accurately, become friends. As they grow closer, old fractures surface. The foundation they never had. The traumas they never faced. Slowly, what they thought they knew about each other begins to unravel, and they're forced to confront the real truth of what happened between them. Set against the charming, rustic architecture of Edinburgh, PENDULUM PROMISES follows enemies turned lovers who perhaps should have first learned the value of friendship. . . . Monica Mansour can't be bothered with communication. Years of caring for her dementia-ridden father have taught her that survival often looks like agreement, omission, and moving on. She avoids the subject of the breakup because it leads nowhere; they will never agree, and she knows it. She needs this friend group - she already finds friendship hard enough - and Otto's opinion, frankly, ranks low on her list of concerns. Still, every time he speaks, her body betrays her, and she sees red before she can stop herself. Otto Harrington doesn't realise he's not listening. Handsome, charming, and gifted on the football pitch, he has spent his life being indulged rather than corrected. Everything comes easily to Otto; it always has. Except Monica. She occupies his thoughts with an insistence that irritates and unmoors him, despite what she did to him - or perhaps because of it. He doesn't hate anyone, and he wouldn't say he hates her. But he enjoys pressing until her composure slips; watching her unravel. Man, does he love to unravel her.
