Down. Set. Hike. After being cheated on by her husband, Blair Sullivan and her two kids packed up and moved to Nashville, Tennessee for a fresh start alongside her best friends Bri and John-Baptiste Boudreaux. Blair spent her days at Bri's award winning coffee shop doing the marketing while also managing her own blog and social media accounts that went along with her "influencer" career she had stumbled into. Life was simple. Things were calm. But then, life threw her a Hail Mary of a pass when Jax Elliot, quarterback of the Nashville Wildcats, came walking into the coffee shop. Will Blair take a chance on the supermodel serial dating quarterback or guard her heart from what she knows would be a heartbreak that she might not come back from? Jax Elliot had it all. Pro football career. Multi-million dollar endorsement deals. Supermodels from around the globe vying for his heart. But after becoming a dad, he decided he wanted more for him and his daughter than what fame had to offer. Heading to pick up his best friend and favorite wide-receiver, John Baptiste Boudreaux, for practice, Jax wasn't prepared for the case of love at first sight that tackled him when he walked into the coffee shop and ran right into Blair Sullivan. Is Blair the one he has been looking for or will a supermodel ex coming back into town pull him back to his old ways? It's time for kickoff. Let's play some football.

Matteo Salvatore is the heir to the most powerful mafia, the Italian mafia. When his father makes him marry a young woman his whole world gets flipped around. He hates her -or so he thinks- but the more time he spends with her the more feelings he develops. They both make a promise not to fall in love but promises are meant to be broken, aren't they? ────୨ৎ──── She turns to face me so we're opposite of each other. "One promise," she breathes out. "One promise," I repeat with a small smirk. "I'll never fall in love with Matteo something Salvatore," she says confidently. I feel my heart beat heavier than before. It almost hurts. Almost. "I'll never fall in love with Reign Alexa Hale." Her name rolls off my tongue with ease. She sticks out her pinky as I stare at her blankly. She nods her head telling me to do it and I shake my head telling her fuck no. If looks could kill, I would be dead with a million daggers stabbed into my body. ────୨ৎ──── {𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒} #1 promise -28/11/21- #1 soldtothemafia

With a fractured career and a body that betrayed her, the former dancer finds herself dropped into a town where everyone knows everyone, and her face means nothing. No stage, no spotlight-just bruised pride, nosy classmates, and the endless shadow of who she used to be. But when she dodges an almost-death-through-rugby-ball her life would never be the same. 𝗥𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗞𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗵 has been everyone's second favourite twin his entire life. While Johnny basks in the glow of greatness, Rudy's busy surviving-balancing rugby, his temper, and the quiet recovery from mistakes no one talks about. He's known for being the hard hitter on the pitch and the hot head off it. He doesn't do distractions. And he definitely didn't do the effort of girlfriends. But what about the girl who couldn't care less about who he is? Shaylee isn't like the others. And Rudy? He's far more wrecked than he lets on. They weren't meant to cross paths. But once they do, there's no going back. Not when the lines between hate and obsession blur, and secrets threaten to tear the ground out from beneath them both.

Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.
