"I thought you left," Ivy said softly. "I was waiting," Ryan replied. "You're getting soaked." "I don't care." "Why are you still here?" "Because if I leave now... I'll regret it." "...Ryan." "Ivy." Silence. "Can I?" he asked quietly. She nodded slightly. His hand touched her cheek. "You're shaking." "I'm not." "You are." "I'm not cold." "I didn't say you were." A pause. "I think I'm falling for you," he said. "...You think?" "No," Ryan whispered. "I know." "You shouldn't say that." "But I do." "...This is a bad idea." "...We should stop." "I know." Neither of them moved. "Then what are we doing?" she whispered." Ryan looked at her. "I don't want to stop." ── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ── Some girls get noticed. Some girls chase attention. Ivy Caldwell is neither. She came to North Ridge University to start over, to be invisible, and to focus on her studies. A new city, a new school, a fresh start-no distractions, no drama, no mistakes. Then she meets Ryan Carter. He's everything she's not: confident, reckless, the star forward of the hockey team, and the kind of guy every girl wants-but who never wants anyone in return. He's the bad boy of campus, the player everyone whispers about, the guy who thinks he's untouchable. But Ryan notices her. Not because she's loud or flashy, but because she's quiet. She doesn't swoon or fawn. She doesn't even know who he is. And suddenly, the guy who never chases anyone wants her more than he's ever wanted anyone. This is a story about first impressions, stolen glances, and a game of hearts where the stakes are high. Because sometimes, the coldest hearts can melt... when they're pushed Heart on Ice.

One summer. Two Neighbours. A closed-off first-round NFL Draft Pick. A bubbly college girl. A small town beach town that makes it impossible to ignore each other. What could possibly happen? Things didn't go as planned when Parker McIntosh and the world were shocked when he was drafted to come back to his home state of New York to play football. Especially when he rather be anywhere else other than where he grew up. Especially since for the first time in a while someone's caught his attention and NOT in a good way. Things don't go as planned when Daisy Ledger finds out the super hot but rude assh*le from a run-in at her local supermarket is her next-door neighbour.

Harper Quinn doesn't do relationships. Not after the last one. Not after learning that caring too much is the fastest way to get hurt. So hooking up with her best friend's teammate? Totally fine. Dangerous. Temporary. Fun. Exactly the kind of mistake she can control. Nico Alvarez has always been the funny one. The easygoing goalie. The guy who flirts with everyone and never takes anything seriously. But Harper has never been just anyone. And keeping their relationship a secret is getting harder when: * he's jealous of every guy who talks to her, * she keeps sleeping in his bed, * and the lines between "casual" and "something real" are disappearing fast. Now the entire hockey season is turning into chaos. Sneaking around the team. Late-night arguments that end in kissing. Emotional rules neither of them can follow. And a growing fear that the one person who feels like home might also be the one who can hurt them most. Because the problem with pretending not to love someone? Eventually... you start believing the lie too.

She thought she was just a side character in someone else's love story - until he showed up with a playbook of his own. Ava, the quick-witted co-captain of UCLA's cheer squad, has always been the girl behind the scenes - supporting her best friend's fairytale romance with the star quarterback. But when a practice match turns into a weekend trip full of unexpected moments, Ava finds herself thrown into a whole new game... especially when she crosses paths with Jace Walker, the quiet, brooding football player who seems more interested in books than fans. What starts as a mission to help their best friends get together becomes something neither of them planned - or knew how to handle. Intercepted Hearts is a slow-burn college romance full of banter, team drama, late-night texts, and the surprising ways love sneaks in when you're busy helping everyone else.

Alexis Sinclair hates football players. Correction: she hates arrogant, cocky, emotionally unavailable football players-especially Malakai Reyes. Unfortunately for her, Malakai lives to get under her skin. He's the campus favorite. The star quarterback. The guy with a different girl in his bed every weekend and a smirk that should honestly be illegal. Alexis knows exactly the type of guy he is. So why can't she stop thinking about him? When a forced partnership throws them together, their nonstop arguments quickly turn into dangerous tension, jealous fights, late-night chaos, and feelings neither of them know how to handle. Because Malakai Reyes was never supposed to care about a girl like Alexis Sinclair. And Alexis was definitely never supposed to care back. But the line between hate and obsession gets thinner every second.

Ethan Vale doesn't fall in love. He watches. From the glass walls of his office, he has spent months observing the new designer who walked into his company like sunlight breaking into a locked room. Lena Arora is everything he isn't-warm, bright, and painfully alive. She laughs with everyone. Trusts too easily. Smiles at men who don't deserve it. And Ethan notices everything. The way she twists the ring on her finger when she's nervous. The songs she hums while working. The exact time she leaves the office every night. At first, it was curiosity. Then it became something darker. Because every time another man stands too close to her... Every time someone makes her laugh... Something inside Ethan snaps. He tells himself he's protecting her. Removing problems. Keeping the wrong people away. But the truth is far more dangerous. He's obsessed. When a storm traps them together one night, Ethan offers her a ride home. Instead, he drives her somewhere quiet-under a sky full of stars where the lines between control and desire begin to blur. Lena thinks Ethan is just her cold, mysterious boss. She has no idea that for months he has been watching her. Protecting her. Claiming pieces of her life she never gave him permission to touch. And when she finally discovers the truth... She has to decide something terrifying. Is Ethan Vale a monster she should run from? Or the only man who has ever truly seen her? Because Ethan has already made his decision. He's never letting her go.

Tutoring the Bad Boy. ~~ He smirked. "Whoops! Look who has read 50 Shades of Grey. Trust me getting kinky is almost every guys dream. I knew you had hidden desires! All the shy ones do." I blushed a little. "No! I don't have any hidden desires." The image of me and Bryan on a bed, with no clothes and handcuffs and ties entering my head. I shook my head vigorously. Hell no! That ain't happening in another millennium. Instantly trying to change the topic, I glanced at my bucket list and then at him. "What are you teaching me?" I asked, fear already gripping me like ivy. He smirked evilly. "How to be a badass." ~~ Once in a while, in the middle of life, love gives us a fairytale. And some fairytale love stories are completely unexpected and thus more memorable. No one expected the class president and the leader of Trouble Triggers to even talk about anything but notes and pencils. But then fate's a bitch and loves to meddle! Their life changes drastically when the good girl- Joanna Williams has to tutor the bad boy- Bryan Cooper. Along with the tutoring comes constant fun, too much bickering, lame jokes, scary sarcasm, idiotic friends, too many unknown emotions, jungles in tummy, bucket lists, unheard secrets and haunting pasts. Maybe some fairytales don't have a happy ending... or do they? (A/N: Contains a lot of 'F' words and grammatical mistakes. Don't say you weren't warned.)

Completed - He had me pinned against the wall outside of his dorm late at night. He was staring down at me angrily. I was confused to say the least. "Are you okay, Jackson?" "No," He shook his head. "Pissed." I was about to ask why but then he continued. "I'm supposed to be a player, Jaycee." He groaned. "But here you are, fucking making me fall for you." What had I done to make him fall for me? Then he smashed his lips onto mine. ~•~ Jaycee was smart, she accepted that. She wasn't the prettiest (in her own eyes) but she accepted that. She was quiet and sweet, she accepted that. What she didn't accept? Someone to be disrespectful toward her. Jackson isn't very intelligent, he accepted that. He was gorgeous, he definitely accepted that. He was loud and obnoxious, he accepted that. What he didn't accept? Someone to reject him. When these two cross paths, it's like Mother Nature was asking for love, hate, loss, betrayal, etc. ••• reached #5 on Teen Fiction May 4th 2015
