Valentina Stevens arrives at Barcelona with a reputation, an ego, and absolutely no intention of making friends. Alexia Putellas, the club's captain, wants nothing to do with her. Unfortunately for both of them, hatred has a funny way of turning into something far more complicated. What starts as tension, rivalry, and a little too much attention quickly becomes something neither of them planned for.

Valeriana Marie Lian Del Rosario Carrington, is literally the epitome of a mystery, to those who don't know her. To her national, collegiate, and club teammates, she's the residential bookworm, the academic overachiever, the one who's interested in poetry and photography, and loves to experiment with cooking. A daredevil. Alessia Mia Teresa Russo, England's No. 23, their star girl. Arsenal's human sunshine, who always thought she was straight. But in the 2020-2021 season, when she's still with Manchester United, she comes across Valeriana Cruz, the kid prodigy of USWNT.

Barcelona is meant to be a fresh start for Aurora de Luca - but it turns out she shouldn't feel like she belongs. Quiet and guarded, she keeps her head down and stays out of the way. Alexia Putellas has no patience for hesitation. Carrying pressure, expectations, and her own battles, she demands perfection from everyone - especially from those who don't meet her standards. They clash from the start. Words are sharp. Silence is heavy. But somewhere between rivalry and resistance, something begins to shift.... (I'm very sorry if there are any spelling or grammatical mistakes. English is not my first language.)

"I want you to show me how much you want this, Freya." My eyes widened as I stared up at her. "What?" "I want you to touch yourself for me," she said, each word deliberate. "I want you to show me how desperate you are for me." My cheeks warmed. "Professo-" "You do want me, don't you, Freya?" she cut me off sharply. I hesitated, then nodded, my hands letting go of the desk now, trembling in my lap. I want her more than anything. Her eyes flickered down to my hands, before meeting mine gaze again. "Then show me," she pressed, her voice lower now, but held so much authority. Heat coiled in my lower stomach at her request. I tilted my head back more to hold her eye contact, the weight of her stare pinned me in place. "Freya..." my name sounded like it was only meant to be said by her. "If you want me-prove it." I hesitantly stood up, still remaining eye contact with her, seeing if any part of her was just messing with me. But she wasn't-she was being serious. I focused on breathing, in and out, as I hooked my thumbs into my underwear, tugging them down to let them fall to the floor before kicking them to the side. I felt heat rush through my body as I stood in front of her hesitantly. I can't believe I'm going to touch myself in front of her. "What's the matter Freya," Professor Reid taunted, her head slightly tilted. "Nervous?" I blinked up at her, slowly shaking my head. I couldn't even find the words to speak anymore. Get it together Freya. She wants this-I want this. 💋 To be Infatuated: possessed with an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone. Sit back & enjoy the ride. - YSHM

Liora Laurent In a world full of evil and hate lies Liora Laurent. She wants to be the change-the thin line between good and evil. But can there truly ever be a society where evil doesn't exist? And if there is, how does one take the first steps toward creating it? For Liora, that first step is journalism. She writes about the evils of the world, exposing the dangers hidden beneath the surface-the things most people overlook, ignore, or are too afraid to see. But Liora's pursuit of justice isn't entirely selfless. Evil took something from her. Something she can never get back. And now, finding the evil responsible has become more than a story. It's a mission. She doesn't just want to expose them. She wants to destroy them. But what happens when destroying evil requires becoming something you once despised? How far is Liora willing to go for justice before she becomes the very thing she's spent her life trying to destroy? She wanted to expose the darkness. Now she has to decide how much of herself she's willing to lose to destroy it.

Thirteen years of silence, a house turned into a museum of missed moments, and a box of letters that never found their way to a mailbox. As the glitz of the film industry clashes with the raw reality of home, Nova must face the truth she's been running from: You can travel across the globe, but you can never outrun the person who knows the real you. In a world of red carpets and calculated lies, can two broken hearts find the words they were too afraid to say?

Paige Bueckers has one problem. She needs a date for the ESPYS. Arabella St. James has one of her own. She needs to convince her wealthy, impossible-to-please family that she's finally moved on from the ex who broke her heart. A simple deal is made. One glamorous night. One set of rules. One fake relationship. Easy... until neither of them is ready to let it end. What starts as a carefully planned arrangement quickly becomes months of shared flights, late-night phone calls, family holidays, college basketball games, red carpets, and pretending a little too well. Somewhere between the staged kisses, stolen glances, and convincing everyone else they're in love, they begin wondering if they're the only two who haven't admitted the truth. Set during Paige's junior year at UConn, *Fake Dating* is a slow-burn romance about finding love where you least expect it, discovering that home can be a person, and realizing that sometimes the best relationships are the ones that were never supposed to be real.
