Lennon Levine has sworn off athletes for the rest of her life. With a lifetime of baggage she has made a promise to never date men who only wants her for her father.

Garrett Gray was the captain of Rowan University's hockey team, he was a girl magnet, he could have any girl at his feet with a flash of his smile. He was your typical cocky, humorous jock that everyone loved. Taylor Perez was a typical college student trying to pass her classes and make money to survive. She was a stubborn but also kind, beautiful, and well-grounded girl that no one could push down. Garrett and Taylor never passed paths or even looked at each other, till one particular day. The day the bet was made.

She's drowning. He wants to save her. Will love be enough to keep her head above water? Growing up in a broken home isn't easy, especially for Bailey Tomford. She doesn't know how much longer she can bear the pain of her father's actions and her mother's lack of them. She's ready to end it all, to just close her eyes and not wake up again. But when Beckett Bailey, the big star, hockey captain from her rival school bulldozes his way into her life and figures out her secret quicker than anyone she's ever met, she's able to bear the pain a little longer. But life at home is getting worse the closer she gets to Beckett and she's running out of the motivation to keep going. Will Beckett be the savior she so badly needs? Or will his love for her not be enough to save her? * * * "Scoring for Her Heart" is a mature story with heavy content that is not intended for anyone under the age of 18.

He plays to win. She plays to roast him on live TV. Christmas is about to be a full-contact sport. When locker-room reporter Faith Langley asks a star forward one brutally honest question, she doesn't expect to go viral-or to get permanent access to the one man she cannot stand. Gabriel Saint is every headline she swore off: cocky, stupidly hot, and allergic to playing it safe. Forced together for holiday segments, charity events, and a very public bet before the Christmas Classic, Faith and Gabe spend December sniping into microphones, snarking under the mistletoe, and pretending the chemistry crackling between them is just "for the cameras." Then a snowstorm strands them in the arena overnight. Then a hot mic catches Gabe admitting she's the only reporter he cares about. Then one stupid, reckless kiss turns into something neither of them can laugh off. With Faith's dream promotion on the line, Gabriel's season under a microscope, and the entire league watching, keeping their hands off each other might save their careers... but cost them the only thing that's ever felt real. When the lights go up on the Christmas Classic, Gabriel is done hiding how hard he's fallen. One game, one grand gesture, one hat trick of a proposal- And if Faith is brave enough to want both love and the life she's built, this Christmas might just end in sudden-death happily ever after.

That's my fifth payment" Falling for her brother's rival? Of course not. She'd rather eat dirt. For Isla, it was supposed to be a simple university project: observe, analyze, and leave. But you can't observe a predator like Noah Blackwood without becoming the prey. He's the new captain of the Blackthorns. The golden boy. The trustees' son and the visionary future of the University. But to Isla Maria Carter... he's nothing more than a SON OF A BISCUIT. He's her brother's greatest rival. Her biggest headache. And now? Her mandatory partner. Noah doesn't like being a subject; he likes being the one in control. And he has decided the only subject he's interested in... is her. HE WANTS HER TO FALL FOR HIM. SHE WANTS HIM TO FALL IN A PIT. HE WANTS TO KISS HER. SHE WANTS TO PUNCH HIM. FOR HIM, SHE'S THE CHALLENGE HE NEVER SAW COMING. FOR HER, HE'S THE PROBLEM SHE CAN'T ESCAPE. HE WANTS HER. SHE WANTS HIM-MURDERED. This season's game has officially moved off the field. But the question remains the same, "Who is going to win this match?" •=======• Cover by @elaradaven Well yes there are many kiss scenes in between (for absolute no reason acc to me) because, come on! It's my book and I love these things lol. Okay I know you guys. So, here's the spice level:- 4/5 🌶️ [UNDER EDITING]

"Because you're smart and I know you wouldn't tell anyone." He gulped. No, he knew because I didn't have anyone to tell. "What's in it for me?" I ask. He thinks for a second. Did he think I would just agree to this? "I can make you popular." He suggests. I chuckle and shake my head. I don't want any attention. "We can act like we are dating?" He suggests again and I laugh so hard. "What's so funny? You don't want to date me?" He looks hurt. ~ Noah Knox Noah. He plays Quarterback on the football team, he's smoking hot, and has a lot of friends. No one says no to him. He has everything anyone could ask for. What else could he want? Well, he wants Abby, that's for sure. But he can't have her. Abby Shed Abby. She is quite, shy, and has really bad anxiety. Wears glasses and baggy clothes to school everyday because she's insecure. She is known for having panic attacks in class. No one ever talks to her and she has no friends. On her Saturday she likes to read and watch TV with her grandpa and brother. The last thing she expects is for someone to like her. ~ Noah always bullied her for her looks, taste, personality. But one day he just stopped. He always liked Abby but he didn't know how to ask her out or be nice to her. He was taught if you love someone you treat them badly. But he needed help and he only knows one person to ask, Abby. Will she say yes? Will this turn into something more? ~BEING EDITED~ Cover by: @ilovereading928 #1 Popular Boy

Leah Stokes is determined to get a spot in one of the most prestigious internships programs in the country. The problem is she's been applying each year, yet hasn't gotten far enough in the process to even garner an interview. It's her Junior year and time is running out if she wants to kickstart the career of her dreams. When she finds herself in the same class as the CEO's son- charming quarterback, Nate Holloway, she's determined to convince him to put in a good word for her. Nate has an even better idea, he'll guarantee her a spot, but only if she'll help him pass all his classes this semester. Nate's star doesn't shine as bright off the football field as it does on it, and he's found himself on the verge of academic suspension after a lackluster semester. He needs Leah's brain power as much as she needs his connections, even though he finds her to be a uptight know-it-all and she finds him to be a vapid egotist. As they spend time together, they realize there's more to each other than meets the eye, but with so much riding on their partnership, one bad judgement could ruin both of their for goals for good.

[ EDITING + REPUBLISHING SLOWLY ] She was never supposed to end up in his world. He was never supposed to look twice at her. Emera Graham has spent her life fighting for control-over her studies, her future, and the parts of herself shaped by a past she refuses to be defined by. At Briar U, she finally has a space that feels like her own...until a leaking ceiling, a broken apartment, and one very inconvenient brother change everything. Now she's living under the same roof as Dean Di Laurentis-Briar's infamous hockey player, certified problem, and her brother's close friend. Dean knows rules. He just rarely follows them. Especially not the ones that involve her. What starts as forced proximity turns into late-night arguments, accidental softness, and a tension neither of them can name without crossing a line they can't uncross. Because she is off limits, and he has never been good at staying away from things he shouldn't want. #1 in Dean Di Laurentis #1 Hockey Romance #1 frat #1 College Student #1 College romance started: may 15th, 2026 finished:

You can run from a place. Not from a person. Two years ago, Valerie Bennett disappeared. One rumor. One secret. One boy who knew the truth. And one betrayal that destroyed everything. Senior year was supposed to be perfect-until something happened that Valerie has spent every day trying to forget. Dean Di Laurentis was the only person she trusted. The only one she told. The only one who promised to protect her. And the only one who could have leaked her secret. At least... that's what she believes. Now, two years later, Valerie transfers to Briar University for a fresh start. New school. New friends. New life. No past. No pain. No Dean. She doesn't know he goes there. She doesn't know he's the star of the hockey team. She doesn't know he's about to walk back into her life like a punch to the chest. Enemies. Lovers. Liars. Survivors. Some stories don't start with love. They start with a name you swore you'd never hear again. TW: contains explicite content, trauma, manipulation ...
