baby, i'm countin' on you off campus john logan x fem!oc 1/2

Beau Maxwell is exactly the kind of guy Mia Reyes should stay away from. Too confident. Too charming. And far too used to people falling in love with him. Mia has bigger problems than Briar's popular player. She's trying to focus on college, painting, and a life that's slowly starting to slip out of her control - especially now that her ex-boyfriend refuses to understand the meaning of the word "over." The messages keep coming. The phone calls too. And the fear that was supposed to disappear after the breakup is starting to creep back in. At first, Beau seems like just another chaotic part of campus life - an irritating flirt who always stands a little too close and says things that make it impossible for Mia not to smile. The problem is that Beau Maxwell notices everything. Even the things Mia desperately tries to hide. And the harder she tries to keep her distance, the more Beau starts acting like her safety has suddenly become the most important thing in his life.

For fifteen years, Cali Rae and Garrett Graham have been inseparable. From scraped knees on the playground to wild nights at Briar University, they've been through everything together. Everyone on campus knows they're a package deal, and everyone knows that if you want a chance with Cali Rae, the most beautiful girl at Briar, you'll have to get past Garrett Graham first. As her best friend, Garrett has always been fiercely protective of Cali. Maybe a little too protective. When Garrett accidentally discovers Cali's private journal, he finds page after page detailing everything she can't stand about guys, along with an impossibly high list of standards for her future boyfriend. Amused, Garrett insists that her expectations are unrealistic and are the reason she can't seem to find the right guy. Determined to prove his point, he offers to become her personal dating coach. The deal is simple: Garrett will help her find the perfect boyfriend by setting her up on dates, giving her advice, and helping her navigate the dating scene. What could possibly go wrong? As Cali begins dating the men Garrett handpicks for her, he quickly discovers that watching her move on with someone else is a lot harder than he expected. Every laugh she shares, every lingering touch, and every promising date sparks a possessive jealousy he can't explain. Suddenly, Garrett finds himself sabotaging the very relationships he encouraged, because the truth is becoming impossible to ignore. He doesn't want Cali to find the perfect guy. He wants to be the only guy she'll ever want. A childhood best friends to lovers romance filled with jealousy, tension, friendship, and the realization that sometimes the love of your life has been right beside you all along.
