Reign Miller doesn't believe in love, she thinks all romcoms are cringe and so are high school relationships, even she doesn't know why. Her goal during senior year is to work her ass off so she can make it to a good college, a place where students don't always make out in the hallways or drink from the same milkshake cup. * Football is the only thing Luke Richardson enjoys, he's a rich kid with a pretty face from a rich neighborhood, and everyone thinks his life is going great but that's because he's good at keeping things inside, except for his hate towards Reign, the girl with a smart mouth and only popular for hanging out with popular kids. Himself included.

• WATTYS 2022 WINNER • When Iris Monet married millionaire Jared Darling, she had only one rule - that he could cheat on her with anyone except the household staff. This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem. Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him. Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn. ✒ 17th November 2021 (start) ✒ 27th July 2022 (end)

Complete. Unedited. They needed a Sloane on the ice, they just never expected that she would be the one to fill the skates- and she never expected her brothers childhood friend to start paying a little too much attention. • • • I was a Sloane, but I wasn't the one anyone ever looked at. Never supposed to carry my father's dream. Never supposed to want the ice the way I do. My father calls me his ice princess. When he remembers I exist, that is. Graceful. Elegant. Temporary. Hockey was never meant to be mine. But when my twin brother, Sebastian, is handed the opportunity of a lifetime and chooses to walk away - I'm given a choice no one would ever offer me willingly. Take his place. Wear his jersey. Become him. One semester. One secret. Under the helmet, I'm invisible. Padding hides the curves. Silence hides the truth. As long as I never take the helmet off, never step into the locker room, never let anyone look too closely - I can play. And I can play hard. I just never expected Justin Leeds to start paying me the attention no one else ever has.

Briar Viola Bennett, the sweet, quiet, gentle, soft, college student that has an enhancement only of innocence, though there is lots going on inside of this sweet girl's head that she won't let anyone see through. She does it all really, she pays her sick mother's hospital bills, works 5-9 at a coffee house on campus, paints and draws whatever details she saw in a rock, but it all forms together and makes sense to why the girl never gives her the time for herself and always putting herself last. As long as her mom dies happy, any person she talks to doesn't seem like they hate her, and the couple in her recent romance book she's reading doesn't turn tragic, Briar doesn't see the wrong in putting herself last.

Nate tries to get himself together and throw all the new bad habits he has created for himself away, but he couldn't do it without the help of an enemy he's had in mind for a while. In which he becomes obsessed with through the process. The only question is, what is the two's secrets that are ruining their lives that they have to turn to each other for? You might know their's but the population at The University of Michigan mustn't for the both of them. And what will happen between the two?

[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course. Totally doable, right? Only it's not that easy. The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE. Mature 18+ (Language, content, all that good stuff) Enough character development to turn the devil back into an angel.

Sloane Casey came to college hockey for credits and clinical hours. Nothing more. Nothing complicated. Malachi Dixon doesn't believe in "nothing complicated." He's the team's star player, a seemingly arrogant ass, and a problem everyone else is used to adjusting around. Sloane treats injuries. Not egos. Malachi treats everything like a challenge. Especially her. Until one accident changes the dynamic between them completely. And somewhere between forced proximity and constant arguments...that line between irritation and something worse starts to blur. Now Sloane is inside the system she was only meant to observe. And Malachi has someone in his space who doesn't treat him like he's untouchable. From opposite sides of the same tension, neither of them is prepared for what constant proximity does to control. Arguments become routine. Awareness becomes unavoidable. And distance starts to feel less like a boundary and more like a challenge. In a sport built on impact, nothing stays unaffected for long. Because some forces don't just pull you in. They alter everything around them. And gravity isn't the only force at play... --- - 𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 - 𝕤𝕝𝕠𝕨 𝕓𝕦𝕣𝕟 (𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕝𝕪) - 𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕘𝕖 𝕙𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕪 *mature content* (ahem temporarily ON HOLD (until i get through exam season please send help)) [Word Count: um not sure ill get back to you when its done]
