Emory James has always known she doesn't fit the mold her family built for her. While her parents and older sister thrive in courtrooms, Emory's heart belongs to helping animals and finding her purpose in quiet acts of compassion. Her mother and sister have always been supportive, but her father still insists she's "too smart to waste her life on animals." Now, after years of hard work, she's finally graduating as a veterinary technician and is ready to prove that following her heart was worth it. On graduation day, she's running late while also juggling her cap, gown, and nerves as she races through the city's hockey arena where the ceremony is being held. She ends up crashing straight into Callum Bennett, the hockey star of the BrooksRidge Sparks. Callum Bennett has never had trouble getting attention on or off the ice. With a killer smile, easy charm, and enough confidence to fill an arena, he's the kind of guy everyone recognizes and few really know. The son of a retired hockey legend and a brilliant college professor, Callum's been under pressure since he could walk. After losing his older brother years ago, he learned that keeping things light was safer than letting anyone close. Hookups? Sure. Relationships? Never. Feelings just slow you down. A few weeks later, fate intervenes when Emory's clinic partners with Callum's team for a "Paws & Players" adoption event. One glance and neither can pretend their hallway collision was just a coincidence. Between camera flashes and undeniable chemistry, Emory and Callum find themselves breaking every rule they swore to keep. They both don't do relationships. But sometimes, the best kind of love is the one that wasn't in the game plan at all.

After losing her mom, Lennon Hayes is shipped to a town she's never seen, to live with a father she barely knows. She plans to keep her head down, finish school, and feel nothing. Especially for boys like Kai Calloway. Six-foot-four, quarterback, every girl's mistake. Arrogant smirk, dangerous eyes. Trouble wrapped in a varsity jacket. And for some reason... he wants her. Kai makes Lennon feel things she's spent months trying to forget-heat, hunger, the kind of pull that starts in her chest and ends low in her stomach. He kisses like he owns her breath. Touches her like he's memorizing every place she falls apart. But Kai has secrets. Ones whispered in the locker room. Ones that involve her name. When a cruel bet comes to light, their fragile almost-something combusts. Lennon's left with the scorch marks-humiliated, heartbroken, and haunted by everything they did in the dark. Kai swears it wasn't supposed to be her. He wasn't supposed to want her. He wasn't supposed to fall. Now the new girl with too much grief and the boy who ruined her are tangled in something neither of them is ready to admit-lust, loyalty, lies... and a night that changes everything. A story about first desire, first betrayal, and the kind of love that scars deep. Some mistakes you recover from. Some haunt you. And some- you never outrun.

Nia Jackson had always been invisible enough to survive high school-but being seventeen and carrying the football captain's baby was a whole new level of pressure. Every day, she wore baggy hoodies and high-waisted jeans, trying to hide the subtle curve of her belly that no one was supposed to notice yet. The last thing she wanted was for anyone to know her secret. Her mornings started early. She'd rush through the halls of Eastwood High, nodding politely to classmates who wouldn't think twice about her unless she tripped. Football season had the entire school obsessed, and Marcus King, the star quarterback, was untouchable. Everyone adored him. Everyone... except Nia, who had learned firsthand the consequences of getting too close.

(Short story) "This kiss just sealed the deal. You're mine and only mine now, Grace." His voice is low and rough like gravel and laced with something primal. I stop breathing. The air thickens, electric, heavy like the sky before a storm breaks. Everything stills, but the static between us crackles like it's seconds from combusting. His breath fans across my lips-close, so close-but still not touching. My heart slams against my ribs, erratic and loud, like it's trying to break free from my chest. Then his hand finds my jaw. His palm is rough, warm, grounding-but the look in his eyes? That's a wildfire. Just heat and hunger and something darker. "I..." The word is a whisper, barely there, shaky and useless. I can't finish it. His nose brushes mine in the softest graze, but there's nothing innocent about the way he's looking at me. Like he's seconds away from tearing me apart. Like he's been starving for this. "Say something" he murmurs, voice thick, his eyes flicking to my mouth. My lips part, not to speak, but because I need to breathe, to taste the tension curling like smoke around us. His thumb drags across my lower lip, slow and deliberate. My knees damn near buckle. I grab the front of his shirt, clutching it in both fists like he's the only thing tethering me to the ground. He leans in closer. And then his lips brush mine. Barely. A whisper of a kiss, soft enough to make me shiver. Then he kisses me again.

"Because you're smart and I know you wouldn't tell anyone." He gulped. No, he knew because I didn't have anyone to tell. "What's in it for me?" I ask. He thinks for a second. Did he think I would just agree to this? "I can make you popular." He suggests. I chuckle and shake my head. I don't want any attention. "We can act like we are dating?" He suggests again and I laugh so hard. "What's so funny? You don't want to date me?" He looks hurt. ~ Noah Knox Noah.

Well, he wants Abby, that's for sure. But he can't have her. Abby Shed Abby. She is quite, shy, and has really bad anxiety. Wears glasses and baggy clothes to school everyday because she's insecure.

Soleil Dubois was the sweetest person you could ever meet. Her name meant 'sun' in French and that was exactly what she was. Sunshine. But don't let that sweet personality fool you because she was sarcastic and had the mouth of a sailor. Cursed like one too. She was still grieving from the loss of her mother, along with her older brother, Lucas who wasn't doing too well either, but they had decided that some things were meant to let go of, and their mother's death was one of those things. And in order for that to happen, they decided to sign up for an exchange program that would be happening in their rival school; NorthFields Academy. The school that most of their competitions were held against, but the biggest one was Football. Every semester, NorthFields Academy and SouthFields Academy played against eachother, and the one who got the most goals by the end of the year would win trophies, more fame and money. That's when Elias Morano came in. He was the captain of the football team of NorthFields Academy and despised Lucas with all his heart. Their feelings were mutual for eachother, but for some reason, his eyes were always on Soleil, the one girl that hated him as well. The one girl he couldn't have. Why her out of everyone? And feelings build up when Soleil goes to NorthFields Academy for a month and a half to complete the exchange program. What's worse is that those football games would be more often and both schools would be playing against eachother. The worst thing is that Elias and Soleil are assigned together for the program, meaning they have to spend more time together. Soleil soon realises that what she feels for Elias isn't hate, its something more than that. But she can't do anything, can she? He is her brother's rival after all.
