"What happened to your face?" Freen asked. I look away because I can't believe she noticed it, I was so sure she wouldn't because I know she'll get angry. "Talk to me, Beck. Did he hurt you again?" She asked, clearly trying to stay calm or else she'll explode in anger. That's the thing though, she gets angry easily. "I just fell down from the stairs." I said and giggle, hold her arm to soothe her anger hoping it will work. "I know what 'fell down the stairs' looks like, Beck. But don't worry, love. I'll handle it, okay?" She said in her calm voice, trying to assure me but all I get is anxiousness. "He wouldn't dare to do that again." She said, smile and kiss my cheeks. I'm not scared because of what Freen will do to them, I'm more scared of what my dad will do to her. But little did I know who she truly is..

Ava Blake is the queen bee of high school - confident, stunning, and used to being in control. Riley Quinn is a shy, nerd who couldn't care less about popularity. They weren't supposed to fall for each other. But jealousy, tension, and stolen glances say otherwise. High school just got a lot more complicated.

Lisa and Jennie have been rivals since the moment they set foot in high school. Whether it's academics, sports, or student council, they never back down from a challenge especially when it comes to each other. But when they're forced to work together as leaders for their school event, their rivalry takes an unexpected turn.

LUNA Freshman year at Amok College, and my name already tastes like blood. I'm a Graves. Noah Graves's sister. The one everyone remembers for trophies, headlines, and the accident no one will forgive. My sister ruled Amok hockey until the night everything shattered-until someone died and the truth was buried under words like mistake and tragedy. Briarstone never buried it. Their captain, Celeste Frost, wears grief like a blade. Her brother is dead because of my family. When we first met,I know it was wrong.I feel her attention lock onto me-cold, deliberate, intimate in the way predators are intimate with their prey. Celeste doesn't just want to hurt me. She wants to claim me. And the most dangerous part? Somewhere between dread and defiance, my body reacts before my mind can stop it. CELESTE The Graves family stole my brother's future. I carry that loss in my teeth, in my fists, in every second I spend on the ice. When I hear that Luna Graves has enrolled at Amok, something inside me sharpens. This is fate finally paying attention. I expect hatred when I see her. What I don't expect is the way my breath catches. She looks breakable. Defiant. Unaware of how perfectly she fits into the space my brother left behind-how easy it would be to step closer, to test how far I can push before she snaps. I don't want her ruined. I want her to remember my touch when she tries to sleep. I want her to fear me-and crave me-until she can't tell the difference anymore.

Josie: I found a guy, he seemed nice enough, we fooled around! It's not my fault that he didn't tell me he had a girlfriend! How would I have known it was the bitchy blonde, Tatum Levine's boyfriend?! I thought we'd never have to talk again after she understandably kicked me out, but of course the world hates me, because we are partnered together for a group project. Tatum: It's not her fault, not really, but she unintentionally is the proof I needed to confirm nobody stays. Not really. They might still be in my life but they're already gone. Even the boyfriend, my last test to see if people really stayed, failed. And now I have Josie, the most annoying, talkative girl in my class, following me around like a leech. The worst part? I'm beginning to like being around her, and now, I have to keep reminding myself that she is not an exception. She'll leave, too.

MIA I've been told my whole life not to trust people because there's another side to them-one they wouldn't dare share with the world. I never believed it until I met her. Kennedy Kingsley. Daughter of NHL legend Pierson Phillips. To the outside world, she was outgoing, charismatic, funny, and smart. But that wasn't the REAL Kennedy. The REAL Kennedy Kingsley was manipulative, obsessive, and a sex addict. When she discovers I'm in need of money to pay for the remainder of my college years, she corners me with an opportunity that will change my life forever. --- KENNEDY I'm in need of a wife. If I want to inherit my father's fortune, I need to get married. I would have a couple of years to figure out how to fall in love with someone and tie the knot. But my mother, as the CEO of a law firm, is determined to strip my inheritance away. I have no choice; I have to get married now. But to whom, you ask? Mia Cambridge-the quiet goalie who's been driving my body wild for the past year. She thinks it's just a temporary arrangement, a way to get my parents off my back. But what she doesn't realize is that I crave her-and I'm not one to play fair when it comes to desire. And soon, Mia will find herself ensnared by my desires, trapped in a game she never intended to play-one where I hold all the cards, and the stakes are her heart.

REMINGTON I was in an accident. I don't remember much of it. But I remember everything else. Everything except her-Drew Van Austen. Apparently, we were in a rivals-with-benefits relationship. But our feelings for each other were real. I don't remember her, but my heart... my heart remembers her. The more I try to move on and pretend I don't know her, the more my heart pulls me towards her, as if it's greedy for her presence, her love. So, I suggest a relationship-a way for us to get to know each other better. A way for her to reclaim my heart from the shadows of forgotten memories. --- DREW She wasn't supposed to wake up so soon.It's the worst timing ever. I've waited months for my little dove to emerge from her coma. And now, here she is, at the worst possible moment. - Hillcrest has our missing book. - My deadbeat mother has just shown up with her new husband and his daughter. - And most importantly, Oakley is getting bolder. So many things happening, and yet my mind stays fixated on my pretty dove. I need her now more than ever. If you think lost memories can distract me from you, Remington, you don't understand how greedy I am-for your love, your heart, and the chance to rewrite our story.

HAYDEN It was supposed to be a fun night out with friends.A party before the tournament.But all things went to shit when I ran into Sofia. The Russian second in command at Hillcrest has been breaking the ice around my cold heart for months. When parapazzi snaps some very intimate photos of the us, rumors start to circulate.To save my reputation and boost my family's fame, I'm forced to propose a fake relationship with Sofia. The closer I get to knocking down the walls around Sofia , the more i realize there's so much more to the Hillcrest's second in command. Could this Power Play be something real? SOFIA Consider my shock when the very girl who told me that I was the worse thing to happen to her approaches me with a proposal to fake date. I laughed in her fucking face.To think that after months of giving her my heart so crushed and things we can let bygones be bygones? Of course.It was Hayden Carter we were talking about.That girl how the comfidence and Charisma to make me drop down on my knees and beg. But not this time.If you want this Hayden you're going to have to beg.

THALIA I never thought that I would marry young.I had a whole plan of finishing college and maybe even going to the WNHL draft before settling down with a family.But as they say,Fate has a very mysterious way of working. And for me ,I've found myself married to Kira 'KP' Pasil after a drunken night out in Vegas.I have a chance at holding on to a love I never felt before.Well..that's if I can show her I'm worth it. KIRA Degree in Marketing but age 21. Masters degree in Marketing by age 22. And finally moving back home and opening my own firm but 25. I have a plan and set of goals I want to reach by 25.And at the bottom of that list?Marriage.Its the last thing on my mind and for some reason it was the first thing I ended up doing. Thalia Belmont is sweet don't get me wrong and we had a connection that was just sex.Theres no way she can be the married type.But she's swore to me that she will prove all of it by the end of the semester.And im scared that she couldn't be more right.

WREN I made a mistake.A grave one.I fell in love with the obsessed girl when I was in high school.And she needed up breaking my heart.And ever since then I swore to myself I would never give her another chance. Even after a party over the summer where I slip up and give into her. But Anastasia Sokos won't give up. No matter if her school is 40 minutes away,she still drives here every night to watch me.She calls me her pretty thief and I call her my pretty imperfection. ANASTASIA My pretty thief thinks that she can take my heart and run with it.But she couldn't be more wrong. You're mine Pretty thief. You will always be mine. I've been watching and waiting for you.But I'm tired of waiting.Its time to take what's mine
