When superstar Kade Hendrix steals Ivy's song, she falls into his world of public scrutiny-and his arms-just as the rest of her world falls down around her. Ivy is sure superstar Kade Hendrix won't notice his number one fan in the crowd of his intimate concert, but what happens when her childhood idol begins singing one of her songs that she submitted for his consideration--and pretends that he was the one who wrote it... There's a reason they say never meet your heroes. *** Ivy Bennett is just trying to get over her crush on her off-limits guy best friend when she is forced into superstar Kade Hendrix's world of managers, publicists, stylists, Non-Disclosure Agreements and intrusive paparazzi--all because he decided to steal the songwriting credits to what is proving to be his biggest hit of all time. Coaxed into a flimsy alliance where she takes a job as his primary co-writer, Ivy and Kade are caught up in a whirlwind of emotions--most of them hate--but somewhere along the way, romantic lines are blurred and Ivy isn't too sure that crush she had on Kade ever really went away. Will Ivy forgive and forget the terrible behavior of the one person who was her inspiration for writing in the first place, or have the bridges already been burned? Follow Ivy and Kade on their journey from strangers to enemies to something neither of them can put into words in his world of extremes in the spotlight.

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.
