Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

Adeline wasn't planning on having a panic attack in the middle of a thunderstorm-but that's exactly how she met Leo. Head down, heart racing, soaking wet... and suddenly crashing into a stranger with calm eyes and steady hands. Leo's the last person anyone would expect to be soft. He's an FBI agent, used to chaos, and once had a reputation for being the guy who didn't stick around. But Adeline? She's sweet, sheltered, and the kind of girl who can light up a room without even trying. The second their paths crossed, he knew she was going to mean something. And she did... she meant everything. He didn't mean to fall for the girl who's scared of storms. She didn't plan on it, but she trusted him faster than anyone else. But when two messy hearts collide, sometimes the calm comes after the thunder. This isn't one of those over-the-top, cringy romances. There's no love triangle, no toxic drama, and no dragging things out with a million side characters. Just a good timeline, real connection, and all the wholesome moments we secretly dream about. Leo and Adeline are loyal, sweet, and actually communicate (shocking, I know). You'll laugh, smile, maybe cry - and you'll definitely wish you had a Leo of your own. If you're a reader who's tired of the recycled tropes, toxic drama, and characters who can't get their lives together? Same. I've been in the Wattpad trenches too, and that's exactly why I wrote this book. It's everything I wanted to read but couldn't find. So consider this your sign: you're about to find your new favorite. You're gonna fall for Leo and Adeline - I just know it. - Love, yours truly, DaddyMaddyy

Moving into the Kingsley mansion should be a fresh start, but her new brother, Damon, has other plans. Damon is ruthless, possessive, and impossible to avoid. He's made it his mission to remind Mia that she doesn't belong, and their hatred for each other burns brighter with every interaction.
