Burn Bright (Cobalt Empire Book 1)

Ben Cobalt is the sixth of seven siblings in a wealthy, prominent family often compared to American royalty. He quit hockey during college and, after hitting a low point at school in Philadelphia, moves to New York City with his four older brothers to attend Manhattan Valley University. Living with them while keeping a major secret proves chaotic, especially as tension builds with his oldest brother Charlie. Searching for a way out of the living arrangement, Ben turns to Harriet Fisher, a punk-rock girl with a troubled past who has already clashed with one of his brothers. When attraction develops between them, Harriet expects it to fade. Instead, the connection deepens, and she finds herself falling for a Cobalt brother with secrets—a situation she fears may become a tragedy she cannot undo. Burn Bright is the first book in the Cobalt Empire series, a new adult romance exploring themes of legacy, loyalty, and love.
