Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

❝ it was just an escape room... right? ❞ ✧˖°. ☽ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ♡☁︎ Valentina Cherry Perez isn't used to strangers. She sings to arenas, but barely speaks in a room of four. She's quiet, guarded, and as the media calls her-the new Christina Aguilera. But really? She's just a girl who hides behind her best friend Manon and avoids eye contact whenever possible. Malachi Barton is nothing like her. He talks too much. Jokes too loud. Fills silence like it's a challenge. Known for Disney shows and his effortless charm, he's sunshine that refuses to dim-even when Valentina barely acknowledges him. They're paired together in an escape room. And it should've been awkward. It was. He ranted about cartoons, aliens, why blue raspberry is a scam. She rolled her eyes, lips pressed, pretending not to care. But secretly? She was memorizing every word. When it ended, he asked for her number. She gave it. He leaned in for a hug. She stepped back. ❝ Too soon? ❞ he asked, arms mid-air. ❝ Yeah, ❞ she muttered, not meeting his eyes. It should've ended there. But now, she replays his laugh when she can't sleep. And he scrolls to her contact and types without sending. They don't talk. But they think. Constantly. They say nothing happened. But why does it feel like everything changed? ✧˚ · . . . UNFINISHED ♡✧ ❝ You remember what I said about dreams? ❞ he texts one night. ❝ Stop, ❞ she types back. ❝ You do remember, though. ❞ She doesn't answer. But she's still staring at the screen. ✩ One hour in a locked room turned into something neither of them expected. Now they're trying to escape each other. And failing. ✧ Maybe silence isn't safety after all. ❀☽♡ strangers to friends to lovers malachi barton x oc Enjoy!🥳

What happens when the guy you can't stand becomes the solution to all your problems? --- Xavier Cole is a man-whore. A womanizer. A complete player. And on most days? A walking red flag. Unfortunately for me, he's also charming, reckless, and very publicly unattached. The kind of guy no one would ever question suddenly having a girlfriend... and the last person anyone would expect to be faking it. Which makes him the perfect solution when my ex shows back up in town, convinced he deserves a second chance. I didn't mean to kiss Xavier at the annual hockey team New Year's Eve party. I really didn't! But it happened. And now everyone thinks we're dating. That he's my boyfriend. Which might be my fault too... because I may have told people we were together. And he might be going along with it. The problem? Xavier Cole and I don't flirt... we spar. And apparently, we're supposed to be convincing as a couple. Which means we're going to have to make this work. Because if our cover gets blown, I'm screwed. - A fake dating, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance at Henley University - ****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels. Against the Boards is the second book in the series, but you can choose to read in any order!*****

I'm falling for the one person I shouldn't... and it's a problem. --- Dylan James and I have been best friends since dinosaurs roamed Earth. We've done everything together, from kissing on the playground to accidentally becoming each other's firsts... and collecting a very long list of "wow, we're idiots" moments along the way. How has our friendship worked this well, for this long? Years ago, we made a pact: no dating, no feelings, no ruining what we have. And that was fine. Easy, even. Until now. The only problem? I'm starting law school at Henley U. Which means, for the first time in a few years, I'm living less than ten minutes away from my best friend again. And he's... definitely not the same boy I left behind. He's bigger. Stronger. Carries himself with a confidence that makes my stomach flip. And every time he looks at me, I swear I feel it in places I shouldn't. We're in the same college, the same friend group, and sleeping in the same bed almost every night... and honestly, it's getting impossible to pretend he's just my friend. Especially when his arms are constantly wrapped around me like I belong there. This is either going to be the greatest love story of all time... or the biggest disaster of my life. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. And waiting? yeah... not my strong suit. *****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels. We'll Always Play Forever is a novella set between books one and two in the series, but you can choose to read in any order!*****

Brooke Zillman is eighteen, stuck between wanting more and being terrified to lose what she already has. She's been by Malachi's side through everything - auditions, press days, the chaos of growing up in the spotlight - but this summer feels different. It's slower. Softer. Full of almost-confessions and lingering looks that last a second too long. With tour getting closer and time slipping through their fingers, Brooke has to decide if protecting their friendship is worth ignoring the way her heart races every time he smiles at her. Because sometimes the scariest part of change isn't him leaving. It's what happens if he doesn't come back the same.
