Maeve Collins has loved Sloane Whitaker for as long as she can remember, long before she ever knew what that love meant. Best friends since childhood, they've grown up side by side, sharing secrets, traditions, and a bond Maeve has always been careful not to name. Sloane Whitaker, meanwhile, has always been the girl everyone wants. Cheer captain, effortlessly popular, surrounded by attention, yet the only person who's ever truly mattered to her is Maeve. She's never questioned why she chooses her best friend over every almost-relationship, or why the idea of losing Maeve feels unbearable. When they arrive at college as freshmen, distance from home gives them something new: freedom. As late nights, new people, and unspoken truths begin to blur the lines between friendship and something more, both girls are forced to confront what they've always felt, and whether they're brave enough to claim it. A tender, slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance about growing up, queer self-discovery, and realizing that the love you've been searching for has been beside you all along.

Alexandra "Alex" Doherty is the girl everyone envies. She's well liked, is the captain of the soccer team, has a great group of friends, her boyfriend is the most sought after athlete in school. Her life is deemed perfect by everyone around her. Only she's hiding a secret. And it only takes new girl Mackenzie Daniels to join her school for the secret to come tumbling out.

To everyone, Alyssa Woods is known as the friendly, pretty, and tenacious captain of the soccer team. But to her, she's shy, self-conscious, and helplessly gay. Well, a helplessly closeted gay. There are reasons that stop her from coming out, ones she repeats to herself daily, one of her favourites being 'I'm not ready.' The crush she has on Leah Bennett isn't going anywhere at this rate, but she's comfortable where she is; not out, not rejected. She isn't new to heartbreak though, her past scars a constant reminder of the fears that dissuade her from taking the leap. And these very fears are what shoves her further into the closet with each memory and each thought. Taking the risk is the last thing on her mind. But what's life without a little risk? After all, you have to risk rejection to be accepted, or else you just might risk not living life at all. {COMPLETED}

And the line between protecting each other and pulling away becomes dangerously thin. Because falling for someone in the spotlight doesn't just risk your heart. It risks your life becoming a story that no longer belongs to you. Updates coming soon!!

They thought the hardest part would be falling in love. They were wrong. Rowan has always known how to commit to the game. Early mornings, bruised knees, silence instead of vulnerability. Loving Lila was the one thing that taught her how to stay, how to choose someone publicly, fiercely, without apology. By the time they graduate, their love feels unbreakable. College changes everything. Suddenly, love lives in time zones and missed calls, in unread texts and games played without the other in the stands. Rowan is drowning in pressure, new expectations, new teammates, the fear that if she slows down, she'll lose everything she's worked for. Lila is learning what it means to stand on her own, to stop shrinking herself for someone she loves. They don't stop loving each other. They just start losing the rhythm. As distance stretches between them, both girls are forced to confront the same question from opposite sides: Is love enough when growing up pulls you in different directions? This is a story about choosing each other again and again, about the quiet moments that hold more weight than grand gestures, about learning when to reach out and when to let go, about loving someone not because it's easy, but because it's worth the work.
