𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 "𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘦" 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘬 has spent the last two years building a name for herself in her university's theatre program - quietly, relentlessly, and without distractions. She's disciplined, sharp, and determined to make her dream career a reality. She doesn't party, doesn't date, and definitely doesn't have time for cocky football players who think showing up late with a smirk is charm. Enter 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘕𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘰𝘯 - athletic golden boy, campus heartthrob, and a walking PR nightmare. When a failing grade and too many suspension-worthy party photos land him on academic probation, his coach throws down the gauntlet: audition for the spring production of "The Rainmaker", or lose his football scholarship. To everyone's shock, including his own, Atlas lands the male lead opposite Chellie. Now forced to play lovers onstage, Chellie and Atlas are thrown into late-night rehearsals and kiss choreography that feels too real. She thinks he's all ego and no discipline. He thinks she's uptight, cold, and a little too obsessed with control. But every line they rehearse chips away at their defenses. And the closer they get under stage lights, the more blurred the lines become. She's spent her whole life planning for the future. He's spent his avoiding anything that hurts. But something is happening between them - something raw and volatile, magnetic and deeply inconvenient. And when the script demands vulnerability, desire, and trust, it's not just the characters that start falling.

❝𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬. 𝐇𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥.❞ Kathryn Marks is all impulsive charm and sun-warmed skin, freshly dumped and flat broke after her sorority trip falls apart. Sonny Kimball is her older brother's best friend - uptight, infuriating, and tagging along at the family's Lake Alpine cabin to study for the Bar exam after getting unceremoniously dumped himself. They were never meant to spend the summer together. But now they're stuck under the same roof, with too many grudges, too few bedrooms, and one strict rule from Kate's brother, Adam: don't kill each other. What starts as mutual loathing begins to twist into something far more dangerous. The arguments get closer. The silences heavier. And one kiss turns into something they can't unthink, can't undo, and definitely can't tell Adam about. And while Kathryn seemingly operates on rejecting emotions other than rage, Sonny craves feeling. The two draw a line in the sand. She wants something hate-fueled and hot, he wants something sweet and tender. It could never work... until it does - and it risks ruining every family dynamic they've ever known. Because hating each other was easy. But wanting each other? That's the real problem. #23 in #brothersbestfriend 8.27.25

If I have to suffer, it may as well be at your hands. Your pretty hands. ▍ AN ORIGINAL ╱ small town romance! In Graceland, strength looks like keeping your head down and your heart walled off. Sawyer Driscoll knows this well. As a young father, small-town lawyer, and volunteer firefighter, he's the one people rely on. The one who never falls apart. But after the death of his grandfather, the man who helped raise him and taught him how to be steady, something in Sawyer began to quietly rot. He doesn't speak of the migraines that creep in like storm fronts or the way loss has hollowed out more than just his home. He doesn't ask for help. Not until Calla Amos steps in. Calla has always been the kind of woman who stays-the kind who tends to the wounds no one else will look at. But even healers have their breaking points. After leaving her nursing job just a few miles out of town, she's returned to Graceland with quieter eyes and scars she doesn't name. Taking a job as Sawyer's nanny isn't part of some grand plan. It's a means of survival. A chance to feel useful, to keep going. What begins as an arrangement born of convenience slowly becomes something more... a shared quiet, a fragile trust, the slow thaw between two people who've learned to expect the worst. But grief lingers, and so does shame. And sometimes, love doesn't bloom right away. Sometimes it festers. Sometimes it has to rot before anything good can grow. ❪ f!oc & m!oc ❫ PEARLJARS © 2024 BOOK TWO of FOUR written by april
