Ivory Skye never planned on going to the pool party. Loud people, unfamiliar places, and being surrounded by strangers was already enough to make her nervous - let alone the possibility of slipping into little space around people who wouldn't understand. But when her best friend drags her to a summer party hosted by three people who somehow see right through her walls, Ivory finds herself caught between fear and comfort for the very first time. Freya is calm and grounding, Evie is warm and impossible not to love, and Max is teasing in a way that makes Ivory's face burn every time she looks at her. What starts as one overwhelming summer night slowly turns into something softer: late-night cuddles, quiet reassurance, and a home Ivory never realized she needed. But learning how to be cared for is a lot harder than it looks - especially for a girl who's spent her whole life trying not to be "too much." ♡

Ivy Williams didn't come to Heartfelt University for drama. She came to pass her classes, chain-smoke her way through the stress, and stay out of trouble. Then she met Professor Sinclair. Cold, condescending, and infuriatingly attractive, Sinclair seems to have made it her mission to ruin Ivy's life one lecture at a time. But Ivy gives as good as she gets-and the more they clash, the more the tension starts to twist into something else. Something neither of them is ready for but both of them want far too badly. Sharp words turn into slow glances. Power plays turn personal. And soon, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry... is what might happen if it stops. [wlw]

"Fine," she said. "If you won't take me seriously like this, I'll go put on my mafia outfit." Sloane squinted at her. "Your what?" "My mafia outfit." Before either of them could stop her, Lila jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. ____ Three minutes later, Lila came back. And Blair nearly spat out her coffee. Because apparently, "mafia outfit" meant she had dressed entirely in black-black cargo pants, a black long-sleeve shirt, black socks, and... Sunglasses. Inside. At breakfast time. Lila stood in the doorway like she had just stepped out of the world's least threatening action movie. "Well?" Sloane looked at her for a long moment. Then at Blair. Then back at Lila. "...No." Lila frowned. "What do you mean no?!" "I mean you look like a twelve-year-old trying to rob a gas station."
