BOOK 2 Wyatt has spent most of his life holding everything together-his younger sister, his home, his own fragile emotions. Life taught him early that people can leave, and that sometimes the safest place is the one you create yourself. Enter Liam Carter: loud, impulsive, endlessly moving, and the last person Wyatt thinks he could ever get along with. When a school project pairs them together, old grudges and first impressions collide, forcing Wyatt to navigate messy emotions, sudden laughter, and unexpected connection. Liam doesn't see the careful structure behind Wyatt's calm, and Wyatt doesn't see the soft, unguarded parts Liam keeps hidden. As they spend more time together, boundaries blur, walls crumble, and both boys discover the uncomfortable, thrilling truth: maybe people aren't meant to be predictable-and maybe love doesn't come in neat lines.

Izzy Thai has always played it safe. With her nose in textbooks by day and dominating the lacrosse field by night, there's never been time for dating-let alone drama. Shy-ish, sweet, and armed with a quick sense of humor, Izzy's life is a carefully balanced game of goals, grades, and going mostly unnoticed. Enter Elijah Jones: captain of the men's hockey team, loud in all the best ways, and impossible to ignore. He's the exact kind of distraction Izzy's spent years avoiding. But when their friend groups cross in the most subtle way, sparks fly faster than a slapshot. She's focused. He's chaos. She's all books and game. He's all heat and energy. When her friend first introduced them, not much happened. So when's a random class they took forces them into a semester-long partnership, sparks fly-but not the cute kind. Petty arguments, eye rolls, and clashing egos become the norm... until suddenly, it isn't. The more they fight, the more they learn. The more they learn, the harder it gets to deny what's building between them. Neither of them saw this coming. But maybe love doesn't always skate in a straight line. 2nd book of the My Kind series

When the infamous two week summer trip into the mountains rolls around at the end of junior year, Hal and Andy are forced to live together.

Warning: RWB spoilers ahead. Some say the best love stories often take time. Emery Chernychevsky has had a crush on Cameron Brooks since he can remember. Watching him date different girls all throughout high school was nothing if not pure torture, especially when he knew he didn't stand a chance against any of them. Safe to say, he spent his single years in a long-term ache he did not once divulge to anyone, but even that did not come close to the night Cameron confessed. The night Cameron confessed his undying love for someone else. Realizing that he was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with Cameron wasn't easy, and finding out that Cameron was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with his best friend was no picnic either. Things weren't certainly made better when their friends decided to spend the entire summer holed up together in Blake's summer house, putting Emery's initial plan of getting over Cameron before he starts college into a ten-week-long agonizing pause. Of course, be that as it may, fate has had a nick of testing Emery's patience... as it only gets a little worse━then, a little better━and right back to irremediable worst of worst from there. Spin-off to Rage With Benefits. Can be read as a stand-alone but a number of references will be made from the first book.
