I don't like people crowding her. Don't like people touching her. Don't like people making her uncomfortable. Which would be fine... If I didn't barely know her.

JACE I didn't get here by accident. Rookie of the Year. Two-time Offensive Player of the Year. Two-time All-Star. Everything I've built has been for one thing: an NBA title. When I'm traded to a championship-ready superteam, it finally feels within reach-even if I walk into a locker room full of tension and resentment over losing their star. Then I meet Ava Phillips. She's the team's publisher, responsible for holding the franchise together in the media. I'm supposed to stay focused, but the more we're forced into each other's orbit, the more she becomes impossible to ignore. Somewhere between late nights, pressure, and lines we shouldn't cross, basketball stops being the only thing I care about. Then everything changes when Ava tells me she's pregnant. Now the season I've worked for my entire life is colliding with a future I never planned-and for the first time, I don't know what winning really means. ⸻ AVA I've built my career on controlling narratives for the New York Ballers-two championships, a winning culture, a perfect image. Then Jace Rhodes arrives. He's everything the league expects: talented, focused, untouchable. And everything the city doesn't want. I'm supposed to manage his reputation, not fall into it. But after one mistake that breaks every rule, I'm left hiding a secret that could destroy everything. I'm pregnant-and the father is no other than Jace Rhodes. Now I'm caught between my career, the franchise I built, and a man I was never supposed to want. And the hardest part isn't the media storm coming-it's what happens when Jace finds out.

Amanda Brooks has one goal: survive her final year at Earlwood Academy, keep her scholarship, and get into her dream university. That would be easier if Theo Anderson didn't exist. Arrogant, infuriating, and always one step ahead, Theo has made it his personal mission to challenge Amanda at every opportunity. Their rivalry is legendary and neither of them knows when to back down. When the principal forces them to put their feud aside, Amanda is determined to keep her distance. Theo has other plans.

"I'll long for you tomorrow as I did today."

"If I tell you something, will you promise not to tell anyone?" Hoseok speaks to Alina quietly as his thumbs brush across her cheeks. His forehead is against hers, nose to nose as their breath mingles. "It's not like I could anyway. I don't think that your wife would approve of you speaking to me." A small smile ghosts his lips. "No, maybe she wouldn't." Labyrinth Series Book ONE

Jungkook knows better than to get involved with a woman like Siri. She's all sexy, confident and is definitely trouble, while he's a married man with everything to lose. Temptation never looked so good, though... or felt so impossible to resist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - mechanicJJK x bartenderOC named Siri (they are endgame!) - cheating au, strangers to fwb to lovers ⚠️R18+⚠️ swearing, smut, Jungkook's a cheater, Siri's a homewrecker and she does not give a fvck about it.
