Alex swore no hockey player would ever touch her, especially not Jaxon Cross-the campus playboy known more for his bedroom skills than his game. But when a no-strings hookup pact turns into something deeper, she's forced to choose between keeping it casual or risking her heart. ------- Alex loves sex... maybe a little too much. Her last hookup left her dry spell even drier, and she's convinced no guy can ever satisfy her until Jaxon Cross. Jaxon is Northridge's hockey golden boy, though his real reputation has nothing to do with the ice. Rumors of his bedroom skills spread faster than campus gossip, and while he secretly hates the image he's built, he can't escape it. When Alex and Jaxon cross paths, sparks fly-but not the good kind. She can't stand him, and he's addicted to the way she looks at him like he's the worst kind of mistake. Then Jaxon overhears her venting about her lackluster sex life... and makes her an offer she doesn't expect: a no-strings hookup pact. Alex doesn't do hockey players, especially ones with reputations like his. But eventually, curiosity wins. And what starts as a physical arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them bargained for. Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body. He makes her laugh, surprises her with his sweetness, and shows her a side no one else gets to see. The more Alex falls, the more terrified she becomes. She swore this was only about pleasure. He wants more. And now she has to decide if she's brave enough to want it too. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.

Hayden Jones didn't mean to blow up her high school gym. She just meant to graffiti it. Now she's got a felony and a one-way ticket to some glorified boarding school in the Pacific Northwest. Caldwell Academy is not a fresh start. It's a reform school with nice pamphlets and a fountain and a judge's order keeping her here. The kind of place where everyone's got a story they don't tell and a reason they can't leave. She wasn't planning on making friends. She definitely wasn't planning on Elwood Hall and a bed six feet from a boy who doesn't smile, doesn't talk, and looks at her like she's a problem he didn't ask for. She should've left it at that. She should've left a lot of things at that. Because Caldwell has rules. And the thing about Hayden Jones is she's never met one she wouldn't break - even the ones that exist to protect her.

Miguel Hernandez has known a few things well: the cushion of an older brother rising to stardom, basketball and sex. His reputation's whispered from the luxury corners of the Upper East Side, spanning over New York City. Debauchery's come to be his middle name. Girls are rarely pictured leaving his side. A comfortable, familiar routine that he doesn't stray from, nor does anyone expect him to. Until her. Eyes that harbour secrets, a tongue sharp enough to cut, passions she's given up and a darkness bearing on her shoulders, Malibu Adams knows nothing but survival. Unapologetic about the trail of messes she leaves behind or the anger festering within her that will only set her on one ruinous path, love had never been on her radar. Nobody knows her enough to understand her nor the pain seeping from wounds she disregards. Until he becomes desperate to. She breaks everything she touches, they say - he isn't afraid to bleed.

First draft • completed • Cliche She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home-with a grin and a proposition she can't refuse. • • • Leon and Charlottes story (can be read as a standalone but is part of a series - read sinful liabilities first if you want to) • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young, and far too unforgettable. Now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.
