Book two in the Love and Rules series. Can be read as a standalone. After failing her exams, bad girl Stephanie (Steph) is put on academic probation by the school - in short she needs a tutor. Normally she would ditch the extra classes, but her dad is on her back and this is her last attempt to prove to him that she is as good as the son he wanted. Stephanie Young is the gorgeous red head, daughter of a prestigious lawyer and one of the bad girls of Meadowbrook High. However, her days of leisure are over when she is assigned a tutor to help her raise her falling grades. But the teacher isn't any random student - the tutor is her close friend's brother and her sworn enemy, Keon. Keon Jacobs is the blond nerd with a British accent and a liking for order and organization. He cannot stand Stephanie who seems to be the embodiment of what he hates the most, yet he cannot deny his attraction towards the gorgeous red head. Now that he is her tutor, he has the perfect opportunity to instill his values of orderliness, but the more he gets to know her, the more his perspective view of her begins to change. What will happen when secrets are revealed during a seemingly innocent tutoring session?

Book 1 in the Love and Rules series. Can be read as a standalone. It hurts when you find your boyfriend cheating on you, especially on your birthday, and that is exactly what happened to Kayla Barnes, the bad girl of Meadowbrook High School. Kayla isn't the type of girl to cry over a breakup - she believes in getting even. And that's what she intends to do by fake dating her ex- boyfriend's nemesis, Aaron Delany, the captain of the football team and the ideal good boy of her school. But what happens when a plot for revenge turns into something much deeper? What happens when the good jock falls for the bad girl?

Anyone could tell you that they're complete opposites. The handsome as hell reserved boy who you would never catch doing trivial things. The gorgeous party girl with a flirty smile and a burning dislike for anything monogamous. Anyone and everyone on campus are shocked to see two complete opposites enter each other's lives and become friends. It's no secret how different they are... but as Iris Blanchette and Aaron Hendrix become closer they can't help their stares that linger, their burning desire to touch each other, and they find themselves craving one another. Maybe, even falling for one another. But this was never part of the plan for each of them, it was strictly 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭. *a stranger-to-friends-to-lovers, millionaire (soon to be billionaire), bad girl x good boy, college romance with a hint of spice 🌶 *

Gwen Bradbury has seen the end. Gwen Bradbury has learned fighting again. ****** Gwen Bradbury's life is torture to her. She is floating above everyone else. Her existence is like a void, eating her up from the inside, little by little every day. Gwen wants freedom. She wants to escape. But she is not one to give up. The darkness and demons can't do anything to her, not again. She will fight till she can't take it anymore. Oliver Carlson isn't your typical boy next door. He isn't the popular bad boy with a dark past you will find in every book. Oliver is not cocky, not famous, not one with eight pack abs. He is quiet, silent, hiding in shadows, away from everyone else, on his own. He has learned to keep to himself, build his suits of armors up, and shut everyone out. Nobody really knows him. He doesn't care. What hurts is that when his popular brother Owen Carlson gets everything he wants, leaving Oliver nothing. So when Gwen Bradbury unintentionally unexpectedly crashes into Oliver Carlson's life, she tries to convince him that life is beautiful with her broad smile and crazy endeavors. Oliver does quite the opposite by shutting her out on the outside but maybe secretly slowly letting her own a piece of his heart. But what happens when both Oliver and Gwen are faced with disasters that make their second skin fall apart in front of their eyes abandoning only the truth?

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...

----‎‧₊˚✧ 𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑲 #1 𝑶𝑭 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑺 ✧˚₊‧---- Layla Ibrahim has one goal: to excel in school and prove she's the best. The only problem? She just failed a subject, and the last person she wants help from is Louis Miller-the annoyingly charming golden boy who gets perfect grades without even trying. But when circumstances force him to tutor her against his will, their mutual hatred reaches a whole new level. Until they had to strike a deal-one that benefits them both. But as the tension between them shifts from heated arguments to something far more complicated, Layla and Louis realize that what started as a simple arrangement might be harder to navigate than they thought. Enemies. Rivals. Academic disaster waiting to happen. And yet, the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks flying between them. #2 on booklover #4 on bookclub #5 on booktok

❝ 𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 ─ 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐲 ❞ He had her pinned without a single touch, caging her between his body and the cold metal of the lockers. "You really think you scare me?" she murmured, low and razor-edged, each word a deliberate dare. Theo didn't answer right away. His gaze locked on hers, slow and deliberate, raking over her face like he was memorising the shape of her defiance. That look promised pain... and something darker, something Elora hated herself for recognising. The air between them was thick enough to choke on, laced with danger and an electric pull she refused to acknowledge. When he finally spoke, his voice was a quiet snarl, velvet and venom. "I'm just so fucking tired of you and that smart little mouth." Elora didn't blink. Didn't give him the satisfaction. Instead, her lips curled into a slow, mocking smirk, the kind that always got her into trouble. "Yeah? Keep talking and I'll break your fingers." Theo moved in before she could breathe, erasing the final inch of space like it had never existed. His long fingers grazed her jaw, slow enough to make it feel like a warning. Veins flexed under his skin as his grip closed, firm but not cruel, angling her face up until there was nowhere to look but at him. His shadow bled over hers, his chest brushing hers, the faint scent of him threading through her breath. Then came the drag of heat - his breath, steady and unhurried - grazing her cheek like he had all the time in the world to ruin her. His mouth curved into a smile that didn't reach his eyes, all sharp blades and quiet cruelty. "Promise?"

A designer muse's plan and a Playboy's bad luck Kimberly Lau was the muse of her own life-creative, artistic, especially when it came to her eccentric style. After years of hesitation, she went through with becoming a fashion designer. All her good luck kept her going, that was until a family scandal shredded her couture brand and left her reputation in tatters. With her career slipping, website collecting dust, and no dress comissions in sight, she devised a plan. One that ended up revolving around the rich, game-obsessed playboy she'd never quite warmed up to. Raphael Blaine was the popular guy. He had it all, money, looks, charm, girls, a basketball career, and a future in his father's company. But when his brother's sudden illness upended everything, and his streak of bad luck refused to end, he knew exactly who to blame. Kimberly "Bad Luck" Lau. So, he does the unthinkable, he fake dates the girl who ruined his luck to reverse it. Simple enough. Except he doesn't want-and certainly won't-choose to fall for her. Especially not when she's quite literally ruining his life. ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐓 𝐄 𝐌 𝐏 𝐓 𝐌 𝐄 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐈 𝐄 𝐒 ♛ 1 Teach Me, Tempt Me ❆ 2 Please Me, Tempt Me ☘︎ 3 Ruse Me, Tempt Me ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐂 𝐎 𝐍 𝐓 𝐄 𝐍 𝐓 𝐖 𝐀 𝐑 𝐍 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 ❥ profanity ❥ explicit sexual content ❥ alcohol consumption ❥ sensitive topics ❥ mild violence ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐇 𝐈 𝐆 𝐇 𝐄 𝐒 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐍 𝐊 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒 #1 popular boy #1 fake dating ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 2025/11/13 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃: ???
