Josie Lynch knows how to disappear. At home, silence is survival. Bruises, harsh words, secrets she can't share. With her twin brother Joey, staying small is the only way to survive. She counts every bite. Every pound. Control is all she has left. Then comes Tommen College. And Hughie Biggs-cocky, untouchable, exactly who she shouldn't want. Something about him pulls her in anyway. And she's not sure she can stay safe.

Edel doesn't do soft. She doesn't do safe. And she definitely doesn't do sober. She walks into BCS with sharp eyes, dirty secrets, and an addiction she pretends she controls. A dead father. An alcoholic mother. A home that never felt like one. Until John Kavanagh. John has money, a future, and a family that still works. A life Edel was never meant to touch. Different worlds. Same school. She doesn't need saving. He doesn't know he's trying anyway. Some girls don't run because they're reckless. They run because staying would kill them.

Tadgh Lynch doesn't lose focus. He's sharp, volatile, and not here to play nice. First year at Tommen, he's already collecting enemies-and Leah Daly's at the top of the list. Leah Daly's fierce, stubborn, and hiding the kind of damage you don't talk about. She's built for survival, and Tadgh's the last person she wants anywhere near her. She hates him. He hates her. That should've been the end of it. But the more he sees, the more it looks like his history repeating itself. And once he recognises it, walking away isn't an option. Even if saving her burns him all over again.

She is under water, but he will pull her out. Whatever it takes. Tadgh Lynch doesn't do distractions. He's guarded, sharp, and has more baggage than he lets on. But starting at Tommen College, nothing's supposed to shake him-not even her. Jaylana Pierce is quiet, bruised, and hiding something no one else sees. Secrets are second nature to her. Survival depends on them. Tadgh knows he should stay away. But the more he sees through her walls, the harder that becomes. And saving her might just cost him everything.

Caoimhe Kavanagh doesn't do feelings-especially not for Liam Gibson. He's loud, charming, and hopelessly in love with someone else. But somewhere between the teasing and the late-night chats, she falls. And the worst part? He doesn't even see her.

Sienna Lynch has one rule, never get involved with the Hollands. As the daughter of Tadgh, she's heard every warning there is. Lorenzo Holland's a mess - fighting demons no one wants to face. She's scared. She's warned. But something about him pulls her in anyway. And neither of them knows how this ends.

Rory Kavanagh was fine until Maeve Gibson started dating his worst enemy. She's his best friend. She's not supposed to get under his skin like this. Now she's pulling away, and Rory can't stop watching, can't stop wanting. Something's off. Something's wrong. And he's running out of time to stop it.

"The addiction didn't love her, I did." A.J. Lynch has it all-talent, confidence, and a name that carries weight at Tommen College. Christina Holland? She's the girl he's meant to hate. Christina's reputation comes before her-and A.J. knows exactly who her father is. He should hate her. But the more he sees her, the harder that gets.

Hayden Clarke, capitano dei Chicago Panthers, è una star dell'hockey con reputazione da playboy e un soprannome che domina i tabloid: Ice King. Sul ghiaccio è impeccabile, fuori è un disastro annunciato. Ma quando un incidente stradale gli porta via il fratello e la cognata, la sua vita cambia all'improvviso. Hayden si ritrova a prendersi cura della nipotina di due anni, Sophie, e con una promessa da mantenere: fare di tutto per tenerla con sé. Janice Corey è una graphic designer che non resta mai troppo a lungo nello stesso posto, in fuga da un passato di violenza testimoniato dalle cicatrici che si porta addosso. Arrivata a Chicago per ricominciare, ottiene un lavoro con i Panthers... e un ruolo di finta fidanzata. Una bugia inaspettata che Hayden racconta per convincere l'assistente sociale della propria affidabilità e non perdere la tutela di Sophie. Da quel momento, i due stabiliscono regole ferree: niente baci, niente contatto, nessun coinvolgimento. Ma tra partite decisive, notti insonni e silenzi che fanno più rumore delle parole, la linea tra recita e verità inizia a sfumare. Mentre tutto intorno a loro cambia, anche la bugia che li tiene uniti comincia a trasformarsi in qualcosa di pericolosamente reale. Perché si può mentire al mondo intero, ma non al cuore quando decide di restare. ©️È vietata qualsiasi riproduzione. Copyright, Tutti i diritti riservati.

Per un errore di smistamento Jennifer viene collocata nel dormitorio maschile del Campus, troppo tardi per cambiare stanza è costretta a stare li. Ambientarsi tra tutti quei ragazzi non è facile... per non parlare del suo compagno di stanza. Caleb, di qualche anno più grande, è, a suo parere, il ragazzo più odioso, lunatico e scorbutico del universo. Conviverci non sarà di certo facile. <<CALEB!>> Urlo dal soggiorno. Ma non ricevo risposta. Corro in camera sua con un paio di boxer bianchi in mano e spalanco la porta. con un asciugamano alla vita mi squadra da testa a piedi e poi come se niente fosse torna a farsi la barba. <<queste sono le tue mutande>> Dico. <<come sei perspicace>> Non mi degna nemmeno di uno sguardo! È un cafone! Cafone maleducato! <<perché erano in soggiorno?!>> <<perchè sei nel mio bagno?>> <<non rispondere a una mia domanda con un altra domanda!>> <<non rispondere a una mia domanda con un altra domanda!>>mi scimmiotta. Racconto in 1a persona.
