**ALL ALONG** Lizzie Harper has spent the last three years convincing herself she's perfectly happy being Brandon Carter's best friend. Sure, he's ridiculously handsome. Sure, every girl on campus seems to want a piece of him. And sure, her heart does an embarrassing little flip every time he smiles at her. But Brandon is her best friend. Her safe place. The one person she can always count on. When a drunken kiss at a college party changes everything, the line they've never crossed suddenly disappears. Now stolen glances turn into lingering touches, jealousy becomes impossible to ignore, and the feelings they've both buried for years are impossible to hide. The problem? One wrong move could destroy the friendship that means everything to them. And Lizzie isn't sure she's brave enough to risk losing him. But Brandon is finally done pretending he only wants friendship. After all, how do you stay just friends with the girl you've loved all along? *College romance • Best friends to lovers • Slow burn • Jealous hero • First love vibes • Emotional tension • Happily Ever After*

It was only supposed to be sex. One swipe. One match. One late-night conversation that should've ended where most dating app connections do - temporary, casual, forgettable. But Silas Navarro was impossible to keep at a distance. What begins as a friends-with-benefits arrangement built on sarcasm, attraction, and blurry boundaries slowly turns into something neither of them meant to create. Somewhere between canceled plans, 3 a.m. conversations, petty arguments, comfort food, and flirtation that feels too honest, she realizes she's fallen into the worst possible situation: loving someone who never promised her anything more. Now she's stuck in the in-between - not quite a girlfriend, not quite just a hookup, and not important enough to ask for clarity without risking losing him entirely. While balancing exhausting days as a teacher, nights spent curled up with her huskies Cherry Blossom and Isaac, and a growing ache she can't joke away anymore, she keeps finding herself pulled back to Silas. Even when he disappears. Even when he frustrates her. Even when he makes her feel like she's standing in line behind everyone else in his life. Because when he's good to her, he's impossibly good. Tender. Funny. Unexpectedly thoughtful. Dangerous in the way emotionally unavailable men always are. And the hardest part isn't wondering whether he loves her. It's wondering if she's been settling for third place the entire time.

Nineteen-year-old Dahlia took the job for the paycheck, plain and simple. When she signed up to babysit five-year-old Mia, she expected nothing more than a few hours of coloring books and easy money to help get her life started. She didn't expect to walk into a house that felt like a beautifully decorated cage. Christian was only twenty-two, but he had been playing the role of a husband and father since he was seventeen. A single night's mistake with Harper had turned into a lifetime of commitment. He lived in a house he was forced to buy, married to a woman who treated their daughter like an inconvenience. He stayed with her only for Mia, working from home in a quiet, isolated world while Harper spent her days anywhere but with her family. Dahlia was the first breath of fresh air the house had seen in years. She didn't just watch the clock; she genuinely cared for Mia in a way Harper never did. As Christian watched her from his home office, the distance between them started to feel unbearable. While Harper was out, the house grew quiet, and the air between Dahlia and Christian grew heavy. Every shared laugh over Mia's jokes and every lingering look in the house made the truth harder to ignore. Dahlia felt the crushing weight of the guilt, reminding herself that he belonged to someone else. She wasn't the girl who crossed lines or ruined marriages... until she was. #3 in love
