"My brother's going to kill us if he finds you with me." Saint's expression didn't change. "I know." "So why do you keep showing up?" I ask, sighing. His eyes found mine. "Because you're here." ✦ ✦ ✦ Eleanor Hayes has known exactly who she wanted to be since she was little: a surgeon. Growing up with one of New York City's most respected surgeons as a father made the dream feel less like a possibility and more like destiny. Saint Huxley is the kind of name people at Crestwood Academy know long before they ever meet him. As the son of the man behind one of the world's largest private banking empires, he should have been polished, disciplined, and respectable. Instead, Saint is reckless, volatile, and impossible to ignore. By day, he's the boy teachers keep an eye on and students know better than to provoke. By night, he disappears into the city's underground, stepping into illegal boxing rings where bruises heal faster than reputations. Eleanor has spent years staying as far away from Saint Huxley as possible. His reputation alone is reason enough, but the fact that he and her older brother, Rafe, can barely stand to be in the same room only reinforces the rule. The problem is that the line between hate and something else is a lot thinner than Eleanor ever expected.

A campus built on roaring hockey games, crowded parties, and reputations that can make or break you before you even graduate. Sienna Monroe used to know who she was. But after a breakup that slowly stripped her of herself, she's left trying to rebuild something she no longer fully recognises. At Vale, everyone seems louder, more put-together-and Sienna feels like she's constantly one step behind. Grayson Knox, captain of the university hockey team, lives in a completely different world. Confident, cocky, and untouchable on the ice, he's exactly the kind of player scouts watch closely- the kind who is supposed to make it to the NHL. And right now, every decision he makes off the ice matters just as much as what he does on it. Because his image is slipping. Rumours. Rivalries. Headlines that could ruin his draft future before it even begins. So when what's supposed to just be a feature piece written about him by Sienna turns into rumors, he doesn't deny it, not when his career is on the line. What starts as a convenient lie quickly turns into something neither of them fully planned for- fake dating to control the narrative, clean up his reputation, and silence the noise that's threatening his future. No feelings. No complications. No breaking the rules. It's supposed to be temporary. Simple. But at Vale University, nothing stays simple for long. Not when everyone is watching. Not when her ex- boyfriend's biggest rival is still very much in the picture. And definitely not when the line between what's real and what's pretend starts to blur in ways neither of them expected. Because Grayson Knox has spent his whole life learning how to win. But Sienna Monroe might be the one thing he can't control. •.•.•.•.• HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in fakedating #1 in sportsromance

"Do you have any idea how much I hate you?" I ask, glaring at him. "You say it everyday, London." He mumbles, leaning lazily against his chair. "Well, clearly I don't say it enough because you're still sitting with me." "Maybe I just like pissing you off." He smirks. •.•.•.•.• Northcrest Academy, an elite sports boarding school that was built for champions. Privileged athletes. London Blake, the cheerleader.

The cocky, troublemaking yet annoyingly handsome captain of the soccer team. Soccer has been his entire life for as long as he remembers.

Despite being in the same school, these two seem to despise eachother, not being able to stand the presence of one other. One prank gone wrong ends in Ace and London spending way more time with eachother than they want to. Read along for Ace and London's senior at the Academy to see if they ever do get over their rivalry!

Some games are meant to be won. Some are meant to break you. Elara James wasn't looking for love when she started college. She was looking for a fresh start, good grades, and maybe a few friends along the way. She wasn't looking for Cole Ashford. Cole Ashford was impossible to ignore. The star quarterback with a reputation that preceded him. The playboy who never stayed the same girl twice. The guy who thought the world revolved around him-and honestly, it usually did. Their first meeting was a disaster. He gave her a stupid nickname. She gave him a piece of her mind. It should have ended there. It didn't. What follows is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance that will take you through every high and every low. The stolen glances. The arguments that aren't really arguments. The kisses that mean nothing to him and everything to her. The heartbreak. The betrayal. The long, painful road to forgiveness. This isn't a story about love at first sight. It's about love that's fought for, bled for, and earned over time. It's about two people who have to break before they can finally come together. How long can you play the game before someone gets hurt?

Once the blue-blooded heirs of Queens Erlington Academy are arrested for murder, bloody secrets start to spill. After all, even blue bloods have blood that runs red. [BLUE BLOOD SEQUEL]

She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home - with a grin and a proposition she can't seem to refuse. • • • 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 - but there's always consequences to dancing with temptation and Charlotte has paid the price. One she promises herself she won't ever revisit. But 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 - her young and stupid mistakes - 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.
