Cassidy All I wanted was to get back home for Christmas but an unexpected snow blizzard derails my plans. That is until my knight in shining armour arrives. My secret crush. Devon Spending Christmas with my vacuous excuse of a family is not how I want to celebrate the holidays. But when a damsel in distress needs rescuing along the way, suddenly it doesn’t look so bleak. For one night, I have her all to myself. Maybe we’ll both get more than we wished for this Christmas?

Andrew I had it all. The easy, quiet life. Money that made itself and a family I saw when I wanted. I never expected that one night would change all of that… Jess I wasn’t looking for love, but when he stumbled through that doorway I knew there was something special about him. A spark. A connection. Something that not even I could deny… Will fate finally allow them their happy ever after? Or does it have other things in store?

Carlos When I saw her ethereal beauty float through the room, I knew I had to have her. Once I found out her connections and her place in my life, I knew it was meant to be. But would she? And would she stand by me when she knew the truth of who I am… and of the darkness that I carry? Sophie Life is finally coming together. Friends, family, all falling into place. What I wasn’t counting on was an old face making a reappearance and blowing through my world. Will his world destroy me? Or will the ghosts of our pasts destroy us both?

Tia I’m drowning. Floating in water. The weight of expectation is dragging me down as I attempt to break free. One moment of selfish weakness haunts me, anchoring me to this life. And now he’s here. My weakness; tempting and delicious. Cian My fists are all that keep me going; all that keep her safe. Fighting is all I know. But when those fists take me away and thrust me into another world surrounded by enemies who are pretending to be friends, I falter. When fate intervenes and my heart is on the line, which one will I choose?

Elena The Academy. The most prestigious school around, with the biggest price tag to go with it. It was a dream. Until it became a nightmare. One moment. One person. That’s all it took to bring my entire world crashing down around my ears. A world I’m not sure I’ll be able to put back together. Anton Anger bubbles beneath the surface. A constant simmering rage that can never be sated. It’s been like this for a long time. As long as I can remember. And now she’s here. Under my feet and under my nose. Poking the bear and kissing the damage. But I don’t know how to reconcile the hatred with what it’s becoming. The past is out to get us. A ticking clock that neither of us can outrun. Will we burn when the world crashes around us? Or will we rise like the Phoenix?

Elena He was the devil without the disguise. He never pretended to be anything other than the wolf he was and I fell for it. Hard. Now I’m tangled in a web of deceit not only of his making, but mine too. A favour. Something owed. A promise that would come back and bite me on the ass. Anton I don’t know when it happened. When it changed. When that initial combination of mild infatuation and burning hatred somehow morphed into my obsession. When did it spiral out of control? Was it when she first let me hold her hand? Or when my lips graced the reverence of her skin? Was it when she was naive enough to let the wolf into her inner sanctum? Hard to say, but now I’m there. I’m not letting go. Can I keep the girl I should have let go? Or does fate have other things in store for us?

Elena A deal with the devil. How far wrong could that go? When there’s more than your heart at stake and lives are on the line, hopefully, not too far. Anton Lies. Deceit. Treachery. It’s not something you learn to live with. Not in my life, anyway. Not something I have to, or ever will. My wrath won’t be tempered. When it’s all on the line and the cards are on placed on the table. Which way will the dice roll?

Niamh Mysterious and mine. He doesn't know it yet, and I have no idea if he even feels the same, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Tia may have set me on the path to healing, but he's the one that came for me. That saved me. Tino Tiny and terrified. Two words I can honestly say I've never been interested in, until now. All the women of my past have been strong, confident, articulate. And yet, the one that keeps me awake at night couldn't even bring herself to look me in the eye. But somethings changing, she's changing. And the more I see, the more I want. Will Niamh and Tino make it out of the lies they find themselves entangled in? Or do others see more than they bargained for?

Niamh They say the truth will set you free, don't they? So why does it feel like we're in a bigger mess now than when we started? Him and I. Me and him. The Lies may be behind us, but is the truth any easier to unravel? Tino When you're being pulled in two different directions, and your loyalty is being questioned, somethings got to give. But it won't be me. I know who I am and what I want, and I'm not afraid to stand up and fight for it. But can we make it through or will the fractured truth break us too?

Christmas with friends. What could possibly go wrong? It's been one hell of a year for The Fated Series couples. Get ready to catch up with Cassidy and Devon on their one-year anniversary and their first full festive period together. Cassidy An overnight trip with the boyfriend, a few days with the family, and a get together of epic proportions with new friends and old. This is going to be a Christmas break to remember. With our new company ready to move forward, this could be the last break in a while, and I'm keen to make the most of it. Let's just hope it doesn't end up being a rerun of last year... Devon There's a little secret burning a hole in my pocket, and I can't wait to share it. I'm going to wine her and dine her and make her mine forever, if only she says yes. Hopefully my family take it for the good news it will be, if it all goes my way. Otherwise, this could be a Christmas for the books...
