He's the one everyone wants. She's the one who keeps saying no. Beckett Prescott is used to things coming easy-on the ice, in the spotlight, and in every relationship that never quite becomes one. Until an injury he can't ignore forces him into the last place he wants to be: Rehab. Dr. Quinn Ellison doesn't care who he is. She cares about results. Structure. Boundaries. And Beckett? He breaks all three. What starts as forced proximity turns into something neither of them planned-late nights, quiet tension, and a connection that doesn't fit neatly into rules or expectations. Because Quinn sees through him. And Beckett doesn't know how to walk away from that. But she does. She says no. Again. And again. And again. Until saying yes might cost her everything.

Aidan and Zayden had never known a life without each other. Their mothers were best friends who were pregnant at the exact same time, which led to the boys being born just one week apart. Aidan came first, earning the "A" in their lifelong partnership, while Zayden followed to complete the set. From that moment on, they were inseparable-they never fought, they agreed on everything, and they moved through life in perfect sync. Their junior year of college started just as smoothly as the rest, until three weeks into their statistics class. Everything changed when Aubriella walked in. For the first time in twenty years, the peace between the two best friends was shattered. They both found her perfect, and for the first time, they began to fight over the same girl. Aubriella didn't just watch the conflict; she noticed it and used it to her advantage. Noticing their obsession, she manipulated the tension, convinced it was the easiest way to secure a nice, free place to stay. Soon, she was living in their off-campus house rent-free. While Aidan and Zayden were certain she was there because she wanted one of them, the truth was she couldn't have cared less about either boy. She just wanted a room. The only question was: would the boys find out she was manipulating them first, or would Aubriella actually fall for both of them?

I've been in love with Maya Garcia since I saw her for the first time in seventh grade. I know it's cliche, and I know it sounds unrealistic, but I swear it's the truth. She was everything I wanted in a girl and more, and It didn't take more than three hours for me to figure that out. Maya was feisty, outspoken, confident, and she didn't change herself for anyone. She was undoubtedly herself, and it was intoxicating. She was perfect. But there was just one tiny thing getting in the way of having her all to myself: Maya Garcia just so happened to be my sister's best friend, which made her completely, one hundred percent off limits. What are the fucking odds, right? _____ Part of the Hidden Attraction series! You do NOT need to read the other books beforehand, however, I recommend it to avoid spoilers in the comments :) 1. My Brother's Best Friend 2. In Five Years 3. The Perfect Timing

Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?

"He's a breath of fresh air. The happiness to my sadness. The calm to my anxiety. He's an equal and opposite force, blocking me from the course of self-hatred I've been hurdling down my entire life." ◊ ◊ ◊ Mikaela Martin is almost certain quarterback Peyton Warner is just talking to her on a dare when he asks if she wants to partner up in gym class. She's 100% positive he's flustering the nerdy shy girl for his own entertainment when he continues his pursuit after she serves the tennis ball into her face. Good thing Peyton's determined to change her mind. When tragedy strikes, it's Mikaela's turn to convince Peyton that they should be together and to prove that love is more powerful than memory and anxiety. Opposite Force is your typical, cliché nerd-jock high school romance...until it isn't.
