"I love you, I'm sorry." Falling in love with Grayson Blackwell wasn't part of Rosalie's five-year plan. She was supposed to coast through her junior and senior year at Evercrest Academy, study hard, and open her own flower shop in New York. But the golden boy of the school had a different idea. Captain of the football team, top of his class, and heir to the wealthy Blackwell family, Grayson has it all. Except he wants Rosalie. Shy, smart, and kind, she's bewitched him since the second she first walked into Evercrest. And when he pairs up with her for a project, their hearts do the talking. But then Rosalie leaves. She kills their true love and disappears, shattering Grayson's heart and, molding a completely different person in his wake. Long gone is caring, sweet Grayson. He's been replaced by one of the most influential and successful CEOs in business history, Mr. Blackwell. Rosalie hated leaving the only boy she's ever loved, but time has moved on for her. Although her broken heart still longs for him and the "what-ifs?", Rosalie's living what was supposed to be her dream life. So why does she feel so empty? Time hasn't moved on for Grayson, though. He's still mesmerized by Rosalie, and when he stumbles into her flower shop, the one they talked about building together, he won't let her go again. Letting her leave was the worst mistake of his life, and one he won't make for a second time. Rosalie doesn't want to break her heart again, and now, Grayson has all the power to shatter it beyond repair. She wants to keep him at arms length. He just wants her.

Grace Court knows what it's like to be watched. After a very public breakup leaves her reputation fractured and her name everywhere for the wrong reasons, the last thing she wants is more attention, especially the kind she can't control. Quiet by nature but unwavering in who she is, Grace has built her career on authenticity. Now, she's being asked to reconstruct it. Oscar Piastri is used to a different kind of spotlight. Precise, disciplined, and notoriously hard to read, the Formula 1 driver has built his career on consistency and control. Respected, but distant. Known, but not understood. To the public, he's talented, composed-and almost impossible to connect with. A carefully arranged PR relationship is supposed to solve both of their problems. For Grace, it offers stability. For Oscar, it offers a version of himself people might finally believe in. Three months. A handful of appearances. Just enough to shift perception. Nothing real. But the problem with something controlled is that it only works if both people remain exactly as they are. And neither of them expect to be understood so easily.

[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers.

Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE.

Donatella Winters: Spellbindingly beautiful. Effortlessly smart. Not the most popular but friendly with everyone she comes across. Darius Ford: Painfully gorgeous. Shining star of the hockey team. Reigning at the top of the high school food chain. At school they don't know each other. She knows of him, of course she does, but he's never even heard her name. Or so he believes.

He races for Red Bull. She designs his wings. But falling for each other? That wasn't on the grid. As the top aerodynamicist on the grid, her only focus is downforce, drag, and shaving milliseconds off the lap time to build a championship-winning car. Falling for Red Bull's star driver was never part of the blueprint. Max Verstappen lives his life strictly by the data and the race regulations. But love doesn't follow a racing line, and the closer they work together, the harder to it becomes to keep their boundaries intact. Between late-night garage sessions and the intense pressure of the paddock, a quiet connection begins to build. Quick author note; Hey, so first time writing a fic, no idea what I'm doing. But I promise it gets better in the later chaps, haha! Feel free to write any sort of criticism or advice to make my writing better :) This is slow-burn with fluff and no smut. I'd also appreciate ideas for new fanfics.

Lando Norris, the charismatic and talented Formula 1 driver, has always been in the fast lane. With the pressure of the racing world and his ever-growing fanbase, he's used to living his life in the spotlight. But when he takes a break from the track to recover and clear his mind, he crosses paths with Isabela, a fierce and disciplined professional swimmer from Brazil. She's known for her dedication, strength, and focus, and her world could not be more different from Lando's. Their meeting happens by chance during a vacation in the Mediterranean, where Isabela is training at a private facility and Lando is trying to escape the noise of his racing career. Initially, their worlds seem incompatible-he's all about speed, the thrill of racing, and the public eye, while she's rooted in discipline, early mornings, and solitude. But despite their differences, an undeniable chemistry sparks between them. Isabela sees through Lando's playful exterior, recognizing the pressures he faces as a young athlete in a high-stakes world. Lando, in turn, is drawn to her strength and the focus she brings to everything she does. As they spend more time together, they share stories of the challenges and sacrifices they've faced to reach the top of their respective sports. Their connection deepens, but both are hesitant-Isabela, because her career demands immense sacrifice and dedication, and Lando, because he's afraid of losing himself in another relationship under the public's gaze. As their feelings for each other intensify, they must navigate the complexities of their high-profile lives, the sacrifices they make for their dreams, and the obstacles that come with being in the public eye. Will they find a balance between love and their relentless careers, or will their worlds pull them apart?

{18+] When a rival goalie gives Isla a wrong number, she has no idea she's texting her brother's teammate. ***** Isla Watson can't stand hockey players. Not that anybody knows that. To the outside world, she's a hockey aficionado, running a successful social media account that goes behind the scenes of the NHL's Saskatoon Storm. The only thing colder than her 'Isla on Ice' page is her relationship with her brother's teammate, who resents everything about social media. When a rival team's goalie gives Isla a deliberately wrong number, she finally has a chance to take a break from putting on a show for the camera and let someone see the real girl behind the screen. Seb Cooper has a reputation for dropping the gloves. His fight on the ice is only matched by his battle with his D-partner's gorgeous sister, who he's clashed with ever since they drunkenly hooked up three years ago. She's just another 'influencer' who prioritises internet clout over real connections. Fortunately, the girl on the other end of his phone is far more down to earth, and he can finally talk to someone without worrying about ulterior motives. When Isla is tasked with creating a video series about learning to skate, an injured Seb is assigned as her teacher. The only thing they can agree on is their burning mutual attraction that melts the ice. Little do they know, they've been anonymously texting each other for months. Hidden in those messages are lies, secrets, and vulnerabilities, and when their two worlds collide, Isla and Seb must decide which version is their reality.
