By some stroke of luck and the work of quick doctors, Billy Hargrove survives the attack of the Mind Flayer. He wakes up months later, after going through a number of surgeries due to the chunk the creature had taken out of him, wishing he died. He is then kept within a facility, under the watchful eye of scientists, to determine whether the creature still resides within him or not. It can't possibly get any worse than this... Until Steve Harrington offers to come along. Not because he wants to spend time with the guy, no, but because he can't stand seeing Max worried about how they would treat him. He figures his parents won't miss him anyway and the procedure will only take a few weeks. What could go wrong? They end up being roommates for a little while. With Billy being even colder than usual and Steve being all the more annoying, spurred on by Billy's attitude, how will they ever pass the time and survive through each other's company? This book is ✨COMPLETED✨

A guarded college quarterback's dark past resurfaces when classmate Elena Madison pierces his cold exterior, sparking a dangerous connection that could either redeem or destroy them both. *** Everyone at Ohio State University knows about Blake Andrews, the infamous all-star quarterback of the football team and rumored insomniac. Most refer to him as crude, egotistical, and cold. It isn't until he meets Elena Madison that his world is suddenly flipped upside down. She brings the dark past he has tried to keep hidden for years up to the surface, risking pulling them both under for good. Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him. He's never met someone with such an irritating personality; with her persistent desire to know more about him despite his exhausted efforts to push her away. She is about to uncover what's hidden under his rough and cold exterior-whether she's ready for it or not. After all, eyes are the window to the soul. *** "Thank you," he murmurs sleepily, raising his hand to bring it to my cheek. His thumb slides against my soft skin slowly, it burns hot at his touch. "For what?" I question, my eyes feeling very swollen and heavy now. He takes a deep breath and swallows. "For being my light." *** *MATURE* HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in collegeromance #1 in panicattacks #1 in badboy #1 in brooding #1 in enemiestofriends #1 in trauma #1 in grumpyxsunshine
