Ayla Torres thought she left her heartbreak in Brisbane. Three years abroad in the U.S. changed her, hardened her, reminded her that loving the wrong person can burn you alive. But when she returns home at twenty-one, everything she tried to outrun is waiting for her. Jordan Riki. Childhood best friend. First love. First heartbreak. The boy who ruined her without even trying. Now twenty-five and at the peak of his NRL career, Jordan is older, stronger, and more dangerously irresistible than ever. And when one accidental reunion sparks old feelings-and old wounds-they find themselves pulled back into the gravity they never escaped. AUTHOR NOTE This is a short 30 chapter series. I may write more but wanted it to be a short dialogue concept. X

"You guys seriously need to hook up or kill each other." *DOESN'T FOLLOW THE STORYLINE* After losing her mom, Emilia Jensen moves to the Outer Banks with her dad, the new sheriff investigating the death of a local girl. The prime suspect? JJ Maybank. She's heard his name plenty of times, and none of it was good. Violent. Reckless. But when Emilia hangs with her friend, Kiara and with the Pogues, avoiding him isn't an option. He's cocky, mean, and always watching her like she's a threat. Emilia doesn't get scared easy, not even when JJ insults her like he's trying to kill her. She gives it right back. Their hate is instant and electric. But the more time they spend together, the more the line between enemies and something else start to fade.

Jordan Riki isn't Brisbane's golden boy-he's the one everyone whispers about. The Broncos heartthrob with tattoos, swagger, and that grin that makes girls forget their own names. He's trouble wrapped up in six-foot-something of muscle, and he knows it. Maddison Myers is Brisbane's most unlikely TikTok sensation: the tactical response cop dubbed the "hottest cop in Queensland". Off duty, she's just Maddie-sharp-tongued, five-foot-two, and absolutely uninterested in being another girl who falls at Jordan's feet. But when a post-game night out collides with her rare night off, sparks fly. Maddie and her partner-in-uniform Lola cross paths with the Broncos boys, and suddenly the cop with a reputation for taking down giants is face to face with one. The banter is fast, the chemistry undeniable-and neither of them leaves without the other's number. What follows is a slow-burn of late-night texts, accidental run-ins, and the kind of push-and-pull only two people who shouldn't want each other can create. Because sometimes the chase doesn't happen on the field or on duty-it happens when the one person you swore off becomes the only one you can't stop thinking about.

Jordan Riki has always known the spotlight-NRL fame, adoring fans, and the pressures of playing for the Brisbane Broncos. But when a spontaneous night out leads him to cross paths with Alora Jennings-a strong-willed, resilient single mum of two from Adelaide-his world tilts. What starts as a cheeky flirt and one-night stand at Club Halo, turns into something neither of them expected. Alora, balancing the chaos of her career as a Triple Zero call centre manager and motherhood to little Luca and Ivy , never planned to fall for someone like Jordan. Too young. Too famous. Too far away. But Jordan sees more than the walls she's built. He sees her fire. Her fight. Her heart. And he's ready to prove that love-like rugby league-requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to tackle what matters most.

When Broncos heart-throb Jordan Riki boards a first-class flight to Munich for an off-season trip with teammates, he expects Oktoberfest, sightseeing, and time to unwind. What he doesn't expect is her - a stunning blonde lingerie model who takes the seat beside him. Hours in the sky turn into effortless conversation, playful smiles, and a spark neither of them can ignore. But once the plane lands, reality takes over, and Jordan tells himself it was just a chance encounter. Until Munich proves him wrong. At one of the city's most famous restaurants, Jordan spots her again - this time laughing with her own circle of glamorous friends. Their eyes lock, the connection reignites, and suddenly the crowded room feels like it belongs to just the two of them. Between Oktoberfest nights, flashing cameras, and the pressures of two very different worlds, Jordan discovers that some encounters aren't accidents at all. Sometimes, the universe sits you next to the one person who can change everything.
