"He just wasn't really my type." "Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait, what?" Eddie halted the conversation. "He wasn't your type? There's guys who are?" - takes place in S4 -

They say never judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to Cole Ashford, the cover is all there is. Elara thought starting college at UCLA would be about new beginnings, late-night study sessions, and maybe a little fun with her new best friend, Maya. What she didn't expect was him. Cole Ashford is everything she despises. The star quarterback with a new girl every weekend. The cocky playboy who knows he's the best thing on campus. The guy who forgets names faster than he changes jerseys. When they meet at a frat party, he doesn't ask for her name. He gives her one instead: Rails. It should have been nothing. Just another annoying jock passing through. But fate has other plans. Suddenly he's everywhere-in her classes, at her favorite coffee shop, in her head when she closes her eyes. And despite every logical reason to hate him, Elara feels the pull. But Cole doesn't do relationships. He doesn't do feelings. And he definitely doesn't do forever. What starts as bickering turns into late nights. Late nights turn into secrets. Secrets turn into something Elara can't name-and something Cole refuses to name. He kisses her like she matters. Then kisses someone else like she didn't. He holds her like she's fragile. Then breaks her like she's nothing. This isn't a love story. This is a war. And in a game where Cole makes all the rules, Elara is determined to prove that even the biggest player can lose. But what happens when losing you means losing himself?

He had one rule: never get involved with his best friend's sister. But what happens when she becomes the one girl he can't ignore? Chloe Sullivan is invisible-and she likes it that way. As a straight-A student with a passion for science and a wardrobe full of oversized hoodies, she's comfortable living in the shadows of Ridgewood High. Especially when the spotlight belongs to people like her brother's best friend, Jaxon Reed. Jaxon is the ultimate bad boy: star athlete, devastatingly handsome, and notorious for his no-strings-attached approach to dating. He's also the boy Chloe has secretly loved since she understood what a heartbeat was. To him, she's just "Ryan's little sister"-the nerdy, quiet girl he barely notices when he comes over to hang out. Everything changes the summer before senior year. When Chloe decides to shed her invisibility cloak-braces off, glasses swapped for contacts, and a newfound confidence-she returns to school as someone nobody recognizes. Suddenly, she's catching the attention of guys who never knew she existed. Including Jaxon. For the first time, he sees her. And the look in his storm-grey eyes isn't brotherly. But Jaxon and Ryan have an unspoken rule: sisters are off-limits. Jaxon isn't the type to admit feelings-not to himself, and certainly not to anyone else. Instead, he wages a silent war: one minute protecting Chloe with a ferocity that surprises them both, the next retreating behind his playboy facade, flaunting other girls to remind himself (and her) of who he's supposed to be. Caught between loyalty and desire, Jaxon and Chloe navigate a dangerous game of stolen glances, charged moments, and breathless almosts. The tension is thick enough to cut, but so are the rules. Welcome to a slow-burn romance where every look is a secret, every touch is a betrayal, and the only thing more dangerous than falling for your brother's best friend... is him falling for you.

She was just trying to start over. He made that impossible. New school. New people. Clean slate. That was the plan when she transferred to Brookewood High - a chance to disappear into the background and figure things out on her own terms. Then she met Zayn Reyes. He's quiet, sharp-eyed, and impossible to read. The kind of guy who doesn't talk to anyone unless he has to. The kind of guy who looks at you like he already knows your secrets. They don't get along - not really. But fate, school projects, and annoyingly shared hallways keep pulling them into the same orbit. And the more she tries to ignore him, the harder it gets. This isn't a love story. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself. For fans of slow-burn tension, sharp banter, and stories where enemies become something more - even when they swear they won't.

Making your way to the top is never easy, and for Trey the problems begin when he meets his competition and lead swimmer of the team: Bennett Scott. The pair immediately becomes entangled in a web of heated arguments, lies, and loathing. Yet somewhere along the journey, Trey discovers more about himself than he could've ever imagined... And that's when the tides begin to change. (**MxM novel. I own no rights to the cover photo.**)

KJ Jackson has everything a Banana Ball star could want - sold-out stadiums, viral walk-up songs, and a fanbase that screams his name every time he steps onto the field. What he doesn't have? Stability. When his manager suggests a carefully curated relationship to soften his image and boost engagement, it's supposed to be simple. Strategic. Temporary. Enter Myah Smith. She's not an influencer chasing clout. She's grounded, private, and fiercely loyal - the kind of girl who would rather sit in the stands quietly than chase cameras. But when she's offered the role of "supportive girlfriend," the deal feels harmless enough. A few public appearances. A few Instagram posts. Smile for the headlines. It's just business. Until it isn't. Because behind closed doors, the chemistry doesn't feel staged. The late-night phone calls don't feel scripted. And the way she looks at him after a hard loss? That definitely isn't for the cameras. As their fake relationship starts to blur into something dangerously real, KJ has to decide what matters more - the brand he's built... or the girl who makes him feel like more than a jersey number. And Myah? She has to figure out if she can survive loving a man whose life belongs to the spotlight. Because in Banana Ball, everything is loud. But the quiet moments? Those are the ones that change everything.
