"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly. "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?" I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem. The man she has no choice but to share the prize with. Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten. It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . . Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences? I guess we're about to find out . . . Cover by @jspromcoms

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐃𝐏 (after major editings ofc 😜) "Lie on the bed, Isla Maria Carter. 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]

You've got one boy. One girl. One pretty little lie. A perfect relationship. The perfect boyfriend. The perfect girlfriend. The perfect dates. The perfect gifts. And the perfect surprises. That gives you our golden couple of Sunset Westwood High. But what happens when it's all a lie? One boy. One girl who needs desperate help. One pretty little lie. That sounds more like it. When Olivia's ex is bothering her and rubbing it in her face at a party that he moved on after dumping her, she sees her nemesis, Ethan walking by and she uses him as her ploy, but the move isn't so smart when you think about it. I mean, how easy can it be acting lovey-dovey with your enemy? . . . . . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Grace Ivers isn't the type to seek out frat parties, but when her outgoing roommate drags her to one, she finds herself thrust into the chaos of loud music, red solo cups, and a sea of confident athletes. Navigating the scene as a college freshman is overwhelming enough-until she catches the eye of John Logan. Logan is everything Grace has been warned about-charming, confident, and completely out of her league. But when an unexpected flip cup challenge turns into an undeniable connection, Grace starts to wonder if there's more to him than his reputation suggests. As the night unfolds, friendships are forged, bets are made, and sparks fly between Grace and Logan in a way neither of them expected. She's just a freshman trying to find her place, and he's a hockey star who shouldn't be paying her this much attention. But some moments change everything, and this might just be one of them. A flirty, fast-paced college romance about taking chances, unexpected chemistry, and the beginning of something neither of them saw coming. ***I do not own the rights to the characters or the previous story line. *** Completed.

He says in a deep voice as his strong hands grab my waist. "I don't know why no one ever fucked you, but I'm glad they didn't. I get all of this to myself, do you know how happy that makes me? How fucking turned on I am by your innocence?" He says between quick breaths. I involuntarily let out a moan as his mouth trails my neckline. "Just say the words and I'll fuck you, Em." He says and I quickly nod. "No, say it. I need to know you want me, I need to know how much you need me inside of you." He says, his emerald eyes piercing straight through me.
