Lacey Logan has never been the quiet type. She's bold, flirty, and more than ready to start over when she transfers to Briar University to study fashion. She figures her biggest challenges will be classes, late nights, and maybe too many drunk mistakes. Then she meets Dean Di Laurentis: a cocky smile, ridiculous charm, and a way of getting under her skin from day one. One harmless deal between them turns into something a lot less harmless: they'll be friends... with a few benefits on the side, no feelings attached. Easy. Except it isn't. Not when Dean makes her laugh, pushes her buttons, and looks at her like he's trying to memorize every piece of her. And definitely not when she remembers he also happens to be one of her brother Logan's best friends. Lacey came to Briar for a fresh start, but she never expected someone like Dean to change everything she thought she wanted.

Vienna Vale has spent her entire life learning one thing: keeping people out is easier than letting them in. After a past she refuses to talk about and a moment that changed everything, Vienna leaves home and starts over at Briar University. No one knows her story. No one knows the battles she keeps hidden. For once, she gets to decide who she wants to be. Then she meets Hannah Wells and Allie Hayes. Slowly, Vienna starts realizing that maybe not everyone leaves, and maybe not every connection has to end in pain. But Briar has a way of bringing people into your life who challenge everything you thought you knew. Between new friendships, old wounds, and boundaries that begin to blur, Vienna has to face the parts of herself she's spent years running from. Because sometimes the people who push your limits the most are the ones who change you forever. (ALSOOOO! My favorite chapter is gonna be 21, so make sure to stick around to read that one also as soon as it's published )

Living as the fifth roommate in a house full of college hockey players was supposed to be easy. No drama, clear boundaries, and the perfect setup. But when "just friends" starts feeling like a thin excuse for a lot of unspoken tension, the ground rules become impossible to keep. Stella Maxwell, Beau's twin sister and Dean's best friend since childhood turns heads everywhere she goes on campus. She's strictly anti-relationship, but when Dean finally confesses his massive, long held secret, will she crack under the tension or will the truth ruin their friendship for good?

Diana Graham has spent her entire life being untouchable. National champion. Figure skating prodigy. America's golden girl. People love watching her win almost as much as they love waiting for her to fall. At Briar, everyone knows Garrett Graham's younger sister, and Dean Di Laurentis knows her even better. But with Olympic season approaching and rumors threatening everything she's built her life around, Diana's composure begins to crack beneath the pressure. And for someone raised to believe perfection is the o hing worth loving, falling apart was never part of the program

Parker Graham knows three things for certain: her twin brother Garrett would do anything to protect her, the Briar hockey house is basically her second home, and Dean Di Laurentis is the last guy she should ever fall for. So what happens when she does?

"You keep running from me like I'm the problem, Nat." "Maybe you are." Nathalie Goodwill doesn't do relationships. Dean Di Laurentis doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately for both of them, Briar University has other plans. When they're forced to work together on a semester-long PR campaign for Briar's hockey team, keeping things professional should be easy. It isn't. Dean is cocky, relentless and impossible to ignore. Nathalie is brilliant, sarcastic and determined never to let anyone get close enough to break her. Until one reckless decision turns into a campus-wide scandal. Suddenly their careers, reputations and futures are on the line-and pretending they don't want each other is no longer an option. Because sometimes falling in love isn't the biggest risk. Sometimes the biggest risk is letting the whole world watch you do it. -------------- If you love Elle Kennedy, hockey romance, slow burn, forced proximity and high-stakes chemistry, this story is for you. #1 romance (25.06.2026) #1 fakehate (02.07.2026) #9 ellekennedy (02.07.2026) #11 newadult (21.06.2026) #12 collegeromance (21.06.2026)
