She's survived loss by keeping her heart on lockdown. He's college football's golden boy with everything to lose. One careless lie cracks the door wide open. Rikki has built her life around endurance, grief tucked away, debt piling up, and no room for distractions. Romance belongs to another version of her, before everything fell apart. When she's cornered into producing a date for her dad's wedding, she tells a reckless lie, dragging the past back into her present by naming the one person she swore she'd never need again. A star quarterback chasing a Heisman and a national title, George's talent is undisputed, but his reputation is under fire. One more scandal could cost him his future. The fix is simple: a stable girlfriend. The catch? The woman who could save his career is the girl who knows his secrets best. With the wedding looming and a championship on the line, the clock is running out on their lie. Can either of them afford the final play? *** Updates Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:30pm and Saturdays at 12:30pm

Samantha's world has always been quiet-just her, her books, and the hope of surviving college without drawing too much attention. She's the girl who prefers libraries over parties, essays over gossip, and invisibility over chaos. Nick, on the other hand, is chaos in human form-the star quarterback, campus golden boy, and the last person anyone would expect to notice her. But when one late-night encounter turns into stolen moments, secrets, and whispers that spread faster than wildfire, Samantha finds herself in the spotlight for the first time in her life-because the quarterback has his eyes on the bookworm. Now the whole school is watching. She's fighting to stay grounded. He's fighting to prove he's not just a cliché. And together? They might just rewrite the playbook.

So when the University of Michigan's ice hockey team targets her in a prank gone wrong? She's ready to call campus security, drop-kick the nearest jock and move on with her structured little life. Instead, she gets Holden Zhao. Captain of the hockey team- too charming for his own good, worryingly reckless and absolutely allergic to authority. And now- assigned to her beloved library shift as punishment. Holden has never met a girl who doesn't fall at his feet. Sophia has never met a boy who makes her want to scream... and maybe kiss, all in the same breath. He calls her uptight. She calls him a menace. But the longer they're stuck together, the harder it is to pretend it's just a punishment. The less it feels like one, too. ➳♡➳ "I'm not going to kiss you, Soph." She crosses her arms defensively. "And why the hell not?" "I'm not going to kiss you," My lips graze the shell of her ear. "Until you beg me to." ➳♡➳ Slow burn. Enemies to friends to lovers. Banter like a whiplash. One anxious overachiever. One chaotic hockey captain. This was never part of the plan.
