Winter Quinnell - After her father is charged with murder, Winter is forced to leave the country and start fresh at Highland Private School. She's kind, though guarded - cold on the outside, but with good intentions beneath the surface. Roman Vitale - Mysterious, silent, and sharp as a blade. He shares classes with Winter, and by an unfortunate twist, they're paired up in the same dorm room. Roman rarely speaks, and when he does, it's usually a threat. We'll see. ************* ongoing( i write it really slow so please consider that, im sorry) (some moments in this story were inspired by books I read growing up. If anything feels familiar, it's purely unintentional - I've carried fragments of stories with me for years, often without remembering where they came from. Most of this world, these characters, and their scenes are entirely my own. Thank you for stepping into it with me.)

But what about me being a victim? All because a few people refused to hear me when I said no. Now I carry around pain, fear, a disgusting feeling that is also there. Behind me. In the shadows. But maybe he'll be the light. ------------------------- This is a hockey player x gymnast college romance.

A guarded college quarterback's dark past resurfaces when classmate Elena Madison pierces his cold exterior, sparking a dangerous connection that could either redeem or destroy them both. *** Everyone at Ohio State University knows about Blake Andrews, the infamous all-star quarterback of the football team and rumored insomniac. Most refer to him as crude, egotistical, and cold. It isn't until he meets Elena Madison that his world is suddenly flipped upside down. She brings the dark past he has tried to keep hidden for years up to the surface, risking pulling them both under for good. Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him. He's never met someone with such an irritating personality; with her persistent desire to know more about him despite his exhausted efforts to push her away. She is about to uncover what's hidden under his rough and cold exterior-whether she's ready for it or not. After all, eyes are the window to the soul. *** "Thank you," he murmurs sleepily, raising his hand to bring it to my cheek. His thumb slides against my soft skin slowly, it burns hot at his touch. "For what?" I question, my eyes feeling very swollen and heavy now. He takes a deep breath and swallows. "For being my light." *** *MATURE* HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in collegeromance #1 in panicattacks #1 in badboy #1 in brooding #1 in enemiestofriends #1 in trauma #1 in grumpyxsunshine

𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 Veriton Hall was never built for those who've risen from nothing. Those like me. Everything I have, I earned. Some can't say the same. Theodore Lancaster has been my rival since the day we both set foot on campus---smug, brilliant, born with a silver spoon and a trust fund. He's everything I've fought against my entire life. And now? He's the only thing standing between me and the thesis project that could launch my career. Working with him is a nightmare. Ignoring the heat between us? Impossible. I've built my world on structure, ambition, and self-preservation. But Theo makes me want to set fire to all of it. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 She is as infuriating as she is brilliant. And unfortunately, she's the only person I've ever met who doesn't fall for my charm. I've spent the last four years outscoring, outsmarting, and outmaneuvering her---until Winslow pairs us for a joint thesis that forces us to spend every second together. She hates me. I'm not exactly a fan of her, either. So why do I keep imagining what it'd be like to kiss her mid-argument? Vienna's all rules and fire. I've never met a woman more determined to hate me. But the longer we work together, the more I realize: I don't want to win anymore. I want her.
