Book two in the Westbridge U series Emma Carver has always relied on herself. Growing up with a single mother and a little brother who depended on her, she learned early that love wasn't always enough to keep a family together. Now, as a freshman cheerleader at Westbridge University, she's focused on her future-on making something of herself, no matter how many hours she has to put in. She doesn't have time for distractions, especially not the easygoing, maddeningly charming hockey player who seems determined to get under her skin. Nate Gregori has spent his whole life reading between the lines. With parents who gave him a stable home and a sister who looks up to him, he knows what real love is. And when he meets Emma, he sees beyond her carefully crafted walls-the strength she wears like armor, the vulnerability she refuses to show. She pushes him away at every turn, but he's never been one to give up easily. Thrown together by circumstance and drawn together by something neither of them can deny, Emma and Nate fight the pull between them. But falling in love means risking everything, and Emma's not sure she's ready to take that leap. Can Nate show her that some risks are worth taking? Or will fear keep her from the one thing she never thought she needed-him?

At least, that's what she tells herself. Enter Trey Adams. Junior. Hockey captain. Campus favorite. And everything Aria has spent her life avoiding. When Trey and his friends unexpectedly collide with Aria and her tight-knit circle, her carefully structured world starts to blur at the edges.

Trey is used to going after what he wants. And this time... it's her. With her friends urging her to take a chance and her heart pulling her in a direction she never planned, Aria is forced to face a question she's never allowed herself to ask- What if she doesn't have to choose between love and her dreams? In a world of ambition, late nights, and unexpected feelings, Aria might just learn that the biggest risk... is not taking one at all. - Book 1 of the Empire State Love Series
